37 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!“

“We had a really good experience overall. The food was great, especially the fettuccine with shrimp and steak, that dish was honestly excellent.

The only disappointment was the shrimp linguine. The sauce didn’t taste well-balanced and it felt like it wasn’t mixed or prepared properly, which was surprising compared to how good the rest of the food was.“

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

“5 stars for 5 reasons

1. I’ve had this two times and both times have been pretty good! The sauce, cheese and dough was perfect.

2. 11 dollar for large pizza is good

3. Quickly came out not much of a wait

4. Relatively good size slices

5. Workers were nice“

“T in Germantown, Maryland I called they asked me how can I help you today? So I told her what I was looking for what type of sandwich I want when you can order sandwich and tell them how you want the sandwich and they don't tell you that this is how we fix the sandwich, the lady fixed the sandwich. The way I wanted it, it tastes so good wherever the lady was.It took my order in Germantown, the Pizza bowla in Germantown.Thank you“

“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!“

“Paisano’s Pizza has a really welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that makes it a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. The restaurant has a classic neighborhood pizza-shop feel where the staff are friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. The service is quick and organized, and the food always comes out hot and fresh. The pizza tastes great with a well-made crust and fresh toppings. Overall, Paisano’s Pizza is a great spot with great food, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to come back. 🍕👍“

“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.)“

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

“Gregorio’s is somewhere I can always feel at home with friends and family. The food is excellent and the feeling is always welcoming.“

“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!“

“The food is always amazing ❤️ but I really wanted to leave this review to highlight the service.

I arrived feeling disappointed and frustrated after a bad experience at the restaurant next door, where they made me feel uncomfortable for bringing my service dog with me. I asked here, without much expectation, if I could have lunch with my dog, and everyone was EXTREMELY kind. From the first waiter, to the cleaning lady, the waitress, and even the manager, everyone made me feel welcome and comfortable.

They even offered water for my baby 🩷 and honestly, that small gesture meant so much to me. They completely changed my day and helped me forget the bad experience I came from.

It’s so nice to know there are still people who truly understand customer service. This location is 35 minutes from my house, and I would absolutely come back again 🩷🩷🩷“

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

“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 live about 20 minutes away from this Ledo’s. There are two Ledo’s in my hometown and while dough, sauce and cheese is always a winning combo, the taste at these two Ledo’s is consistently inconsistent. I overheard that the Damascus Ledo’s is the best one and taste just like the original in College Park. Hands-down, I gotta say it does. It was worth the 20 minute drive. I will now only be ordering from this one when I get a hankering for pizza. Thank you to the Damascus Ledo’s restaurant for preserving such a singular taste! Can’t wait to return!!“

“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.“

“Manhattan Pizza is absolutely delicious! We used to live outside of Philadelphia, where the pizza standards are high, and this is the first place we’ve found that reminds us of home. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Thank you for the great food and excellent service!“

“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!“

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

“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?“

“The staff was awesome and the pizza was delicious. Definitely will be ordering as this location also offers buy one get one free pizza on MONDAYS everytime
Love this location. There menu spare a lot. They also can modify any items so that is a big plus.“

“I Love manhatten pizza! I'm from Long Island so I know good food and as far as takeout goes manhatten pizza delivers.. figuratively and literally. The mozz sticks are bomb and the baked ziti is fire. I've actually never ordered anything from there I didn't like. Also the service is great and the staff is awesome and super sweet!“

“For all my New Yorkers turned Washingtonians: jump on that metro and get out to Rockville for the best pizza I’ve had in the DMV. Giuseppi’s does everything right. The dough is crispy & thin. Everything—down to the the ranch— is homemade. I’ve been craving good pizza for weeks and I’m sitting here in absolute bliss. I might live in DC but I will be making this trip on the hard days.“
