41 Best Italian Restaurants near Germantown

“I am from Baltimore and while working in Germantown I wanted something to eat other than fast food. I went into Paisano's around 530pm and was greeted so nicely by a young woman. I did not want a sub because Montgomery Co normally you get a steak um and that is what I am used too. I ordered the chicken Parmigian with pasta. Wow the sauce was amazing, pasta was perfect, the breaded chicken was covered in cheese. The garlic bread was so good. Great price, large portion that I could not finish. I told the girl behind counter that the food was awesome and it made this fatboy happy. I am 6'4 & 280lbs and I wanted to hug everyone but I did not want to scare anyone. Thank you!“

“Really good food and great service. They let my wife and I bring our own cake to celebrate our anniversary. They even asked if we needed it refrigerated

Update Jan 2026. I ordered for takeout. By the time I put my parking spot number in the app, there's was already somebody out there waiting for me. It was sooooo fast!“

“One of the best Italian meals I have had outside of Italy! All dishes-appetizers, entrees and desserts were excellent. Will be back often!“

“Last week, I got their chicken fettuccine Alfredo & it was absolutely amazing! I assumed it would be good because so many people were coming in & out ordering pasta & pizza. It was delicious!!! I wanted it again but I was on Shady grove rd & decided to get it again, thinking it was the same recipe; it wasn’t. This was last night & I am so disappointed! It wasn’t as seasoned & the sauce was foamy which I didn’t like so that was a wasted money. I will return to the Germantown loc. next week to get another order. So, be prepared to see me. 🥰

Thank you for a great experience & a delicious meal.“

“We were in Gaithersburg for a soccer tournament with our son. We googled nearby Italian restaurants and stumbled upon Il pizzico. Being of Sicilian descent, I noticed they had some familiar foods you can’t just get anywhere and made a reservation. What a pleasant surprise! From the carpaccio and arancini appetizers, pasta and risotto to the gelato and cannoli desserts, everything was 5 stars. We will be back in the spring!“

“Saul and his team were very great we came in on a Saturday night, while it was very busy and they had our order warm and ready! The pizza was delicious & the wings were BOMB! Still haven’t been able to find a place that serves wings this good. Thank you so much!“

“Lucia's is my favorite Italian restaurant. Lasagna,Ravioli,Pizza, fresh baked bread and the best Steak and cheese subs !“

“Great food! The service was great, and the people very friendly! We will definitely be returning customers!“

“My favorite restaurant is Gregorio"s. The food is delicious served warm, service is delightful and the place is always welcoming. If you are looking for a great meal visit Gegorio's Trattoria .“

“Some of the best Italian food you can have in the DMV, the service was great even on a crowded day like Valentine’s. We had the calamari to start which was yummy and had some good tomato sauce to go along with it. However, the item that has continuously stole the show was the mushroom ravioli with the delicious pistachio sauce. You cannot find a dish like this anywhere else and it’s absolutely scrumptious, I basically licked the plate clean. Highly recommend the lobster ravioli as well just delicious. Check this place out!“

“Lemon ricotta cookies are amazing!“

“I had the hot pastrami sub today , it was delicious and came out very fast“

“A fantastic experience! Gabby was our server - - and did such a fantastic job ensuring our first-time experience was excellent. The appetizer and main course selections we made were well-prepared. Love the space too. The hostess greeted us and selected a great table for us. Top on our list during our next visit to this area.“

“My group (30+ people) had our fundraising event at this restaurant on January 13th. The restaurant was fully prepared for our arrival, and their food & service were all done well. Our group had a great time! (I personally had fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, and it was beautifully cooked.)“

“Great food and nice atmosphere“

“We enjoyed our meal at Gregorio’s immensely. The meals were tasty and good portions. The cocktails were strong and right at the limit of reasonably priced. The tiramisu was also on point.“

“The best Italian food in the DMV!!!!“

“I picked up my first Ledo’s pizza. It was my 7 year old who suggested it. I had never tried it before. Very pleasantly surprised! It was delicious and very well made. Place smells delicious as soon as you walk in. Will definitely come back for more. We got the basic cheese pizza this time, but I can’t wait to try the toppings.“

“Best pizza in town!!! I really mean it, I went in for lunch! I got the sicilian slices with a bottle of Coke! Very delicious flavor! The quality of the cheese and crust! I highly recommend come check them out! And very nice customer service, very friendly!“

“Went and tried the Italian sub and the meatball today.Absolutely delicious and fresh!“

“We used a Groupon to give this place a try and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious! We ordered takeout — we chose both Italian and Persian items. The rigatoni, the dinner salad and the salmon kabobs were all well-prepared, great portion, very enjoyable. But the star of the meal was the Italian meatball appetizer, which could be a meal to itself. Let me say that my mother’s side is Southern Italian from outside of Naples, and was part of the immigrant generation 100 years ago that invented spaghetti and meatballs. I have never had a restaurant meatball that compares to our family recipe. Until now. This comes very close. Big meatballs, full of flavors, made with care, excellent sauce. I was so pleased. The decor is bright, the owners are friendly, the vibe is a warm neighborhood spot. It is a short walk from the Shady Grove Metro Station, on the other side of 355 from King Farm. This neighborhood has needed a place like this for a long time. Great meal, nice experience.“

“I’m not going to lie… I was invited here by some friends. When they said this place gets packed as soon as it opens… they were not joking. I was a little skeptical at first because a lot of times places can get incredibly over hyped and that’s cause for over inflated prices but I was pleasantly surprised by this spot. Their specialty was pizza and for high quality artisanal pizza, their prices were ranging from $15-22 per personal pizza which I found pretty comfortable. They had unique menu options and it really felt like they put energy into their food. Good pizza options (meatball one was delicious) good side options, good appetizers so I would definitely recommend.“

“Shoutout to this favorite neighborhood restaurant, its good food, and always friendly team.👏👍👏👍“

“Because I have 4 kids 5 and under, when we have a 'restaurant night'it tends to be Olive Garden... we love the pastas for everyone, The traditional Italian choices that you can never go wrong with and if course the endless soups, salads and BREAD :)
and I love the Italian donuts!!!“

“Ledos is our favorite pizza spot. We moved from Maryland 12 years ago and stop in whenever we look for reasons to head up north to go to Ledos. My son has never forgiven me for moving him away from Ledos, so I try to get him to the Damascus Ledos for his birthday. It's home for us“

“The service and food at this Ledo's has always been great. We have been ordering from there since the location opened. The staff has always been friendly and the food has always been hot and delicious. The few times we have dined in there we have enjoyed good friendly service. Plenty of free parking. Highly recommend it.“

“Went there and ordered pizza today and my husband and I was very pleased, the customer service was impeccable and I definitely would suggest this spot, to anyone that is in the area and definitely worth the drive. You’ll definitely see us again.“

“I want to give a special shoutout to Isabel. She was absolutely great! From the moment we walked in, she was friendly, welcoming, and very professional. Her positive attitude and kindness truly made our experience better. It’s always wonderful to be helped by someone who genuinely cares about customer service. Thank you, Isabel, for the excellent service!“

“Absolutely love their food and the samosas are to die for!!“

“Love this Ledo’s. I go there a couple times a month. Great pizza and more than fair prices in this economy. All the staff are pleasant and accommodating and there’s a comfortable vibe throughout the restaurant. I notice they don’t get as much dine-in business as they used to but it’s a great spot to have a couple pies with friends and family!“

“I visit this location, once a week. Very friendly staff/employees, in fact, they recognize me right away when I walk in! Food is delicious. Not very busy when I am dining in (which I normally do). I do recommend this location for the food and friendly service!“

“I assume this is a pizza spot for most folks. I appreciate the cheesesteak and pastas here, probs because of nostalgia, used to frequent this chain with family around 2010. Swear these dishes still taste the same. They’re not remarkable but remain homestyle faves for me, always with the quality of ingredients and consistency in cooking. Highly recommend the ground beef meat sauce since a hint of sweetness hits just right“

“Always enjoy Ledo’s! My favorite for many, many years?“

“This was our 3rd visit here. Their food is so good we can’t stay away! The last time we were there I ordered a small veggie pizza. Today, I ordered their largest one, knowing I would have to take some home - which I did. My wife had the Salmon and rice and onions - and took some home, as well. Their bread is delicious, too. We’ll be back! \n\nTheir booths are very comfortable. Their floor needs to be spruced up - but don’t let that stop you checking them out. There’s parking in the front and back. You can also enter or leave from the front or back.“

“If you want a good thin crust pizza it's hard to beat Giuseppi's especially for the price for their 2 slice cheese + soda special for $8. The slices are large and tasty.

Other food is very good - not the best or greatest, but very good.

The people who work there are friendly. Food is served fairly quickly with a free refill soda station.

The atmosphere is okay. A bit like cafeteria style with tables and chairs and a bar top section facing the main strip.

It can get quite busy with the weekday lunch crowd in downtown Rockville. That's a good thing!“

“Last time I ordered two pizza, for both pizza they used very little amount of cheese and it was tasteless. Also the stuff member old man's behaviour was not good.Today again I ordered two pizza and both pizza were very yummy. And the staff new girl is so friendly and nice.“
