“My family and I absolutely love this Ledo!!!The service and food is great. It is always clean. Being coming here for over three months now with the same food and service quality everytime. Will continue to come here too. Thank you for being so good.“

“Wife and I live in DC. We go 4 or 5 times per year. Best dinning experience in DC. Don’t even read the menu. Let Bonnie great server, just bring you food and wine pairings. Blow you away. We usually sit at the upstairs bar. Chefs table was great as well. The wine flight is worth every penny. Bring your Amex!“

“This place is so cute ! Perfect for a romantic dinner, great eats and a cool ambiance. Our server was solid and knowledgeable and they are able to be attentive but also allow you to enjoy your time. Not too bad when it comes to parking for me- I normally can always find street. I love a place where you can find good crafted cocktails. This is definitely one of those places!“

“Fun spot for dinner and good food. Our server was very nice, yet didn't course out our food, so we had two pasta dishes and fish show up at the same time. The octopus starter was my favorite dish. The pasta and fish were also good, but not necessarily the hottest when we ate them, given everything arriving at once“

“Nestled neatly into Barracks Row, this longtime establishment offers an incredible cozy atmosphere. It's a fantastic family run business and the staff were great. The tortellini alla panna was delicious. The penne alla vodka was solid, but a little bland. I'm eager to come back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend to those in the area looking for a casual italian spot.“

“Incredible, fresh ingredients on the lightest, puffiest dough you’ve ever had. Charming atmosphere, super friendly and attentive waitstaff and the owners are on-site and working hard. This is a family-owned restaurant and they are a delight! Authentic Roman pinsa! Highly highly recommend!“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!Starting from the appetizer to entrees, every bite was better than the one prior. I loved the Wild Boar Pasta, the pizza Capricciosa (+Neapolitan salami), the calamari…well, all of them. The service was great as well, friendly and attentive staff. This restaurant will exceed your expectations and your taste buds will thank you.“

“The staff were all welcoming from the start. The food was AMAZING! The owner came to our table to check on our evening. We were very happy and I must say the Filet Mignon with balsamic glaze was one of the best I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten at 3 star Michelin restaurants . The evening was important to us as we got engaged that day. I highly recommend this wonderful little jewel of a restaurant !!“

“Not only the quality is top notch, the consistency between their locations is even more admirable. I can go to any location and be happy. When you combine quality, creativity, knowledge, skills, the love and passion in what they do, this is what makes my stellina my home.“

“The best hard roll sub in DC has got to be the G Man. My family has been eating them for well over 40 years. It's a family run carry out that has consistently made the same sandwich's for my family my whole entire life. If I'm in the neighborhood, I pick some up for everyone. It's a tradition my father started and I happily carry it on.“

“After a night out on the town drinking with my boys Reggie, Clyde and Billy Boy our Uber dropped us off at this bar. After having our fill of booze there we needed something salty in our system so we saw this pizza joint in walking distance. The dudes behind the counter were pretty chill and even let us sit for a minute while we was waiting for our pizza. It was around 1 am and they still made it for us which was a plus. Four drunken fools up to no good lol. Thanks for exemplary service and excellent food. we def coming back thats for true :-D“

“I Love Italian - and when I say this place has THE BEST MEATBALLS I've ever tasted - it's saying a lot! The mushroom gnocchi was light and delish! Not to mention the roasted cauliflower, burrata and garlic bread!! It was a feast and worth every bite! The staff was friendly, polite and aimed to please! The decor and vibe super cool. It was recommended to me by a local and when I visit DC again - this gem will be a first stop!“

“We wanted to celebrate the seniors that lived in our community. We called and got the owner, John. We advised him we were bringing our seniors from our town in and he made our reservation. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, the manager Antoinette was so accommodating, the server was very patient with our seniors and the service was great. We all had a great time and the food was amazing. I think we had a little bit of everything on the menu. Thank you so much from The Town of Morningside!“

“This place is highly underrated and needs your business. Why? Incredible wine selection, quality food, super kind staff, vibey music, and reasonable prices. You want to wait an hour or two to go eat at El Presidente, Pastis, and St. Anselm? Me neither. Those restaurants are great but we are overlooking this hidden gem. Pictured: valtellina bruschette, marinated olives, and seafood paella.Wheelchair accessibility: There is an ADA ramp to get to the restaurant.“

“This place was AMAZING! We had the most delicious chicken parmigiana. The garlic bread and Italian wedding soup were amazing too. This family owned place shows! Great service! Well worth the wait! We called to make a reservation on a whim for our last night in DC and it did not disappoint! So good!!!“

“I wish I could give them 5 stars. If I had to recommend 1 deli in DC this would be it. This is an amazing traditional deli. I felt like a kid in a candy shop with the cannolis, traditional Italian beverages, and amazing menu. The service was great and I was recommended the prosciutto which was hand cut in front of me. 10/10, I'm going to come back and have everything on the menu.“

“So I’ve never had Chicago deep dish pizza before. I’ve always thought that it would be too much of a good thing too. My husband saw Rosati’s as we passed by and made a note to come back next time we were around, fast forward to today and I just had my first ever taste of Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was amazing! It wasnt too much of anything. It was well balanced, the flavor was good, and it wasn’t super greasy. I’m surprised at how much it wasn’t what I expected it would be. I’m now into deep dish pizza - love at first slice (va dum tsh). Def recommend, food is good, staff was very nice, and I’ve got multiple meals coming. Stop in if you like good pizza.“

“Mamma Roma’s is one of those places that once you taste their food, you become a regular patron and bring others with you to enjoy it, as well. It’s a local, family owned restaurant where you’re greeted warmly and frequently hear Italian spoken between family members. They are from Naples, Italy, play Italian background music and must have brought a wealth of recipes with them when they came to the US. The food is absolutely delicious! They offer a large variety of Italian dishes, as well as a variety of subs and appetizers. They are voted a local favorite place to eat and are definitely a family favorite of ours to frequent. They have a nice dine in area but also have a busy take out business too. Give them a try…you won’t be sorry. ❤️❤️“

“Great Detroit-style pizza. (The kind that your mom says she will only have one piece, but then ends up eating the leftovers). The breakfast burritos are also very tasty. This place was made for carryout, but everything it cooks is quality. Helpful staff deal with a lot of takeout orders.“

“Olive Garden is as good as you will get for a chain restaurant. We really weren't going there because the food is top tier, we went because it has a great family atmosphere which ends up making the food taste. Little better. The service was superb for our party of 25 and I would definitely come back just for that. Even when we were leaving the manager (or who I thought) was the manager greeted us all goodbye and made sure our service was good during ordering. Just an added touch of care. Thank you for a great family memory and the price isn't bad either.“

“I don’t normally post a lot of reviews, but this was a great night out for dinner with the family.We were in town for the wrestling championships and found this restaurant. The menu variety was great, the food was delicious, and the servers were very attentive.We will visit again in our travels.“

“I have never eaten out so much in one week I can't help it I got to go to Pizza Castle for lunch everyday even if I have my own lunch from home but their food is fresh the customer service is amazing I recommend this place I recommended you will not regret it at all Best place to eat their wings is the best The pizza also is the best I just love their food“

“This was he best pizza I have ever eaten the people there treat you like family as a person who lives across the country and has tried pizza from places in NYC and Chicago this place out does them by miles so if your ever by the area I highly suggest anyone stop “

“Wowwwww!! Cheesesteaks go crazy here!! Classic hot peppers, gooey melted cheese, perfectly cooked sirloin steak with crispy edges all stuffed in well toasted roll. I'm picky when it come to this kinda stuff so job well done. Heads up this place has no seating so it's strictly to go.“

“This has become my new favorite restaurant, I have been working my way through their menu and have been pleasantly surprised with everything. Employees are always very polite and helpful great specials and tons of coupons when you sign up recommend stopping in and trying them out. Wait times are very reasonable even with them cooking everything to order.Vegetarian options: Great selection of salads and and dishes and everything is customizable for vegetarian optionsParking: They share the parking lot with 7-11 which is also convenient if you need to grab stuff while your waiting for your food“

“In the words of Lady Gaga: Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before.Absolutely adored this dinner, the experience, the service and won’t ever forget it.Masseria is no joke!“

“My husband and I had a carving for a 90s style pizzeria's and we found one in Anthony’s. There is live music every Thursday. Tonight was a piano bar vibe that was just awesome. My husband and I sang along while eating our pizza, wings, and Caesar salads.The customer service was great and food came quickly and was tasty. We can’t wait to come back!Vegetarian options: I had the vegetarian pizza it was great. They were even able to remove toppings I didn't want.“

“I most say its not what I expected, DC isn't known for its pizza ??..but I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!! I will definitely order from here again. Their pizza is actually good ?. I'm going to try the wings next time and a stromboli just so I can let y'all know what's up. Ledo at shrimp boat off Benning Road is apparently a local landmark and the locals know it well.“

“Just happened to drive by Paradiso and decided to stop for a lite meal. Ordered the New Year's 4-Pork Special 12" pizza with pepperoni, salami, sausage, basil, asiago, and mozzarella cheese, minus the prosciutto (cutting down the salt intake) You can taste the spices in the red sauce. The pizza is not overwhelmed with cheese, but the cheese combination is delicious. The crust was lite and crisp. It was piping hot and stayed relatively hot to warm as we enjoyed this deliciously wood-fired pizza, with nothing left but crumbs. We paired it with the Homebrew award winning Paradiso Dunkelweizen beer, a nice Mellow taste. Great for a non-beer connoisseur. Okay, great corner location with free parking lot next door and street parking. Nice decor with plenty of seating inside with full panel glass doors that open to the patio during the hot summer days. Covered patio seating outside in front and side of building. Bar seating inside and outside as well as a heated tent. This location is handicap accessible. Mon-Tues closed. Wed-Thurs 4-9pm and Fri-Sat 1-9pm. Paid $43 for two drinks and pizza. The staff are welcoming. David our server was very attentive.Will return to sample other items on the menu.Parking: The restaurant is located on a corner next to the neighborhood. You can find parking on the street if none is available in the nearby parking lot.“

“This is my go-to after DeMatha athletic events. Some of the best Italian food you could ever eat, just behind my favorite (Sorrentos in Duncannon, PA) of all time. Pizza is fantastic, dishes are amazing, portions are plentiful, price is right, and then the desserts. Oh my, what a selection!“

“This was the perfect meal. I got a meatball Parm and it was very filling without being too big of a sandwich. I am from Pennsylvania and wish I had a Meadows near me. The food was also very reasonably priced.Online ordering was simple and food was made quickly.The sandwich was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“Our group was originally planning on going to Ted’s Bulletin for brunch down the block but the wait was at least an hour. So we ended up going here instead and I cannot rave about the food and the experience enough. I had the Nutella pancakes and enjoyed stealing bites of everyone’s breakfast potatoes >:) If you get a chance, try this place out!!“

“THE PIZZA WAS ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS, EVERY STAFF MEMBER WAS VERY KIND. I FELT VERY SAFE, THE ATMOSPHERE WAS VERY CHILL AND RELAXING. WOULD 100% RECOMMEND!!! Gave me plates and napkins!!Parking: Very spacious and availableWheelchair accessibility: Lot of ramps“

“It's weird knowing there's no original Ledo's anymore (for those of us who grew up with it). This spot is the closest we have now to the old real deal. Sometimes the pizza is perfection and sometimes they have off nights. Our most recent takeout order was definitely one of their good batches - the red sauce was perfect & the pizzas were all cooked just right. They were out of basil but otherwise had everything we ordered. Pro tip - there is a big difference between their bacon and their pre-cooked bacon for toppings. The regular bacon might as well be ham, it's not the crispy stuff you're expecting when you order bacon on a pizza. I'm a sucker for their red pizza with pineapple and precooked bacon (NOT regular bacon, I learned) & a white pizza with just sausage. I didn't spend much time in the restaurant as our order was ready and waiting but everyone I encountered during the pickup was super friendly and helpful. Can't wait for my next visit!“

“Update. The owner reached out to me and apologized and agreed that this was unacceptable. I appreciate that level of customer service and to try to make things right. It is all I wanted last night and there never would have been an issue. They do have good food and obviously better management in the day time. I hope they can fix things at night and hope to give them another try. Every place can have a bad night and I hope that their evening manager learns their lesson or they find a better one. Normally order and have no issues. Order through Grub Hub and my order is a few minutes late but no big. Then I open my boxes. Pizzas are wrong. First thing I do is check my email to make sure I didn’t screw up. Nope. Ok, call the store. Person on the phone is very rude. Blamed me until I read my email receipt to her. Well her solution is for me to keep it and they will give me free pizza next time? What? I ordered through a website and how will they remember to honor this promise anyway. No offer to send out correct food and is huffed when I don’t want to keep the wrong order. Ordered a pepperoni and extra cheese pizza and a mushroom and extra cheese pizza. Pepperoni and mushroom on a single pizza is not what we wanted. Currently waiting on them to pick up their pizza now. Only reason I got my money back is because I ordered through a third party site. In store customer service is awful. They can’t even master the simple words “sorry, let us fix this.” Prices are too high to put up with this again. If you order from this place do it from a third party site like grub hub, otherwise you might not get your money back when they screw up.“

“I placed an order online for four 18inch pizzas and two 2 liter drinks. The food was waiting for me at the prearranged time, but you could tell that it hadn't been sitting out all morning long. Fresh and tasty. The chicken bbq bacon pizza was especially good. The gentleman at the counter was nice and efficient at checkout.“

“Absolutely phenomenal service with great food! I can’t state enough how amazing of a service man the Bartender Andreas was he curated a perfect vibe while detailing every aspect of the dining experience & even asked for criticism with meals to further perfect the menu. Best service I’ve ever had in my life & the Banana Pudding Cheesecake was to DIE FOR!!!“

“The food is delicious. The soft and freshly made walnuts. The scrambled pupusas are a delight to the palate. The place is small and designed for families with children. There is no noise of music. And the food service is good. The prices are somewhat expensive but the flavor and taste make up for it. I recommend it. 10/10“

“I have been coming to Olive Garden for almost 20 years. If you're in the mood for some Italian Bistro, they're great. Wide selection of Italian themed dishes. Even one called a "Tour of Italy." And, if you're looking for a great deal, try the "Never Ending Soup and Salad. "Vegetarian options: The soup (minestrone, zuppa toscana), all you can eat salad.“

“Love this spot in union market! The folks that work there seem to really love what they do...every charcuterie board I've ever had there is like a work of art! Definitely cute and bougie...fun for a date night! Union market is pretty chill, but this place feels fancier. I will keep coming back!“

“The food is always great and tasty.Our service at first was terrible. She is a Caucasian slow adult walking around like a zombie. Dec 13, 2023, shortly before 2pm. My wife and I were at the counter ordering. She took my wife’s order but I guess she couldn’t see me standing right next to her. Never asked if there would be anything else. We finally got through that. As I was waiting for 2 slices of pizza a couple of gentlemen working by the ovens asked what I was waiting on. Thank them for that. Got my pizza and everything was good. Oh I almost forgot, one slice was free because she didn’t ring it up correctly. I brought it to her attention by she just said they would be out.“

“GOODNIGHT after this meal. Pizza special was so HUGE, they had to put it in 2 large pizza boxes...cheesy and a herd of ? used to provide all of that ?!!! Wings crispy but not to the point where your mouth would suffer. Salad is served in a real bowl and overflowing with freshness through and through. This Ledos by far is head and shoulders above them all. You know me, the Native New Yorker... food MUST be high quality, portions sizable and service above board. They get right each and every time. Clean, clean and fast, fast--they serve the food to you HOT!“

“Dudes this place is amazing, delicious pizza and excellent customer service. The only real complaint I have is that the cleaners need to check their tables once a customer leaves, sometimes the tables are dirty or the floor had some left overs, only that makes it a little less than desired but other than that this place is great for family occasions.“

“Great to have a spot right in my Elkington neighborhood to get a good pizza. It was an easy pick-up, although I am curious where the kitchen is because a nice man popped out a non-descript door with pizzas in hand. My only negative is the price is a little high for the size of the pizza when compared to others, especially when it's just a take out spot.“
