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!“

“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!“

“Pleasant surprise to discover Milano pizza where staff is cheerful, friendly. Pizza looks different and tastes better, not salty like other places. Pasta tastes like nona’s cooking. Makes you want to think it’s home cooked food.“

“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“

“This is my first time ordering from Ledo Pizza in Germantown and I can definitely say that it will not be my last. I ordered for a group lunch today and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Everyone enjoyed the pizza and wings! I will be back to try a gluten-free pizza.“

“Pizza, hot subs, wines etc. All delicious!“

“We dined at local provisions for Christmas Eve. The bruschetta and the caesar salad were amazing and the chicken osso bucco and spinach fettuccine were top notch. Definitely recommend 10/10“

“I’m sad that I’ve only just learned about this spot as the food is priced well, fresh, consistently solid and the staff is always on it. I’ve order from here like 3 times in the last week as they’ve got great specials and the food always turns out exactly as I need it. The food quality control is solid especially as somewhere sho loves to get a salad with my main. Never soggy or old lettuce or veggies. Everything’s fresh and the store always looks clean and well maintained.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“Went during the week for lunch. The cannolis were authentic and out of this world I will return just for this. The spaghetti and meatballs in an olive oil butter sauce were fabulous. The chicken marsala was good, but very salty for my taste. The waiter was fabulous. Fabulous. Fabulous service. The restaurant itself is in a strip mall so if you’re looking for ambience, this is not the place but if you want good Italian food, this is where you go.“

“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 .“

“Lemon ricotta cookies are amazing!“

“Pizza was very good. Regular cheese, well done, was one of the best in the area. We also got the 5 cheese which was both unique and delicious.

The Italian beef sandwich was very good. Flavors were great, the giardiniera had a mild heat, and the beef was thin, tender and …beefy. Recommend ordering a second cup of jus to really get the bread wet.“

“Ledo Pizza in Rockville has that rare, old‑school charm, the kind of place where the food shows up exactly the way you hope it will, and the people serving it seem genuinely happy you walked in. 🍕 The thin pizza here is a beautiful contradiction: crisp, crackling edges with just enough chew to keep you honest. It’s the sort of pie that doesn’t try to impress with theatrics, it’s clean, confident flavor.

🍗And the wings? They’re the sleeper hit. Golden, blistered, and then that drizzle of hot honey, sweet heat that sneaks up on you and makes you reach for another before you’ve even finished the first. It’s the kind of plate that tells you someone in the kitchen actually cares.

🪷The service seals the deal. Attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing it. Yoselin, in particular, is the kind of person every restaurant wishes they had, quick, warm, and always wearing the kind of smile that makes the whole place feel lighter.

If you’re anywhere near Rockville Pike on 355, bring your family, bring your appetite, and let Ledo Pizza remind you how good simple food can be when it’s done right.“

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

“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 didn’t know when entering this pizzeria that I would quickly be transported to a place that felt so familiar. We sat down for what was meant to be a simple family dinner and it became so much more. We ordered a few pizzas, a bottle of wine and the atmosphere just took us away. The gentle music, smell of our pizzas cooking and a nice bottle of wine created the perfect recipe to take our table to a place we’ve never been to, but somehow felt incredibly familiar. Everything was so delicious, we could taste the attention and care put into choosing the ingredients and crafting a meal that was more than just a simple pie. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. As a note to anyone reading this and considering enjoying a meal here, bring your friends or your family and take your time. Reminisce on the time you shared, share stories of the people you love and be present with the people you’re with. The food is incredible, but sharing it with the people that mean a lot to you will make it a memory you’ll never forget.“

“Great food and nice atmosphere“

“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!!“

“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.)“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Our server, ALIEU, was phenomenal, and the manager, Babaoucar, was incredibly attentive throughout our visit. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and genuinely cared for.

I especially appreciate that this is a family-owned franchise. You can tell they take pride in their service and go above and beyond to make every guest feel valued.

Although I live in Annapolis, I would gladly make the trip again because the food, customer service, and overall experience were outstanding. The staff worked together seamlessly, and the hospitality was second to none.

Highly recommend this location to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.“

“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.“

“Best pizza around, everytime I get it I'm truly happy, tastes great and I always have enough for more than one meal. The crust is nice and flavorful with the perfect texture and the pepperoni are always crisped just right. I want one now“

“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!“

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

“I stopped by Olive Garden on a busy Sunday night during the dinner rush and sat at the bar since it was just me. All I wanted was the unlimited soup and salad, and I told Marvin he could bring me two soups at a time since I eat pretty quickly and wanted to save him some extra trips. Marvin reassured me that it wasn’t a problem and made sure I was well taken care of all night. He was extremely attentive, kept everything refilled, and made sure I always had the cheese and anything else I needed. I really appreciated Marvin’s great service, especially with how busy the restaurant was.“

“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?“

“Thank you for a delicious dinner - our friends picked-up a couple large pizzas and a couple grilled chicken salads this evening from your Rockville store. The pizzas were the best -pepp pizza outstanding, perfectly cooked and a crust to ‘sink your teeth’ into! The cheese pizza just as excellent!
Salads yummy, crispy and fresh tasting. The staff is always friendly, helpful and engaging. Can’t wait for the next opportunity to eat the most wonderful pizza in our area - appreciate your dedication and the kindness you share with your customers👏👏“

“Food was good but definitely not a dine in option .. have very little seating and no air conditioning ... had called ahead of time to confirm if they have dine in available and they confirmed .. when we got there they had like 6 chairs ...
food was decent thoguh“

“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!“
