50 Best Italian Restaurants near Olney

“We visited for a celebratory lunch today, and Ryan took wonderful care of us! We ordered the focaccia appetizer, one Caesar salad (which we shared), and we each ordered the half-size Fusilli Bolognese. All items were outstanding and Ryan gave us some extra touches to make our event special. We’ll be back for our next celebration!“

“My family and I have been a big fan of the Mama Lucia franchise for more than three decades, and we’ve always considered it our go-to place for authentic NY style pizza. In recent years, I’ve been getting my pies from their Olney restaurant, where I met Javier, who is their pizzaiolo (pizza chef). Not too long ago, Javier started offering a square pan pizza called Grandma’s Special. It is a carefully crafted pie with moz cheese, simple crushed tomato sauce, and basil, which makes for a very traditional and authentic pizza. While it takes more time to make (~45min), the wait is certainly worth it: what you get is a thin, airy, crispy crust, simple and balanced ingredients, and the taste is phenomenal! It reminds me of the street pizza in Italy, and the pizza my pop used to make for our family when I was a kid. Javier takes much pride in his craft, and by adding this pizza to the menu, the has raised the Mama Lucia bar even higher. Next time you visit their Olney restaurant, ask Javier and give it a try; you will not be disappointed.“

“I always enjoy the experience (and of course the food!) when dealing with Ledo Olney. Addy, and the others who help me regularly, are responsive and detail-oriented. Thanks again to Ledo's Olney Team, they set the bar high. Be well, Brian“

“Came in here for dinner tonight! The burrata salad with the beets and the pear pizza were both AMAZING! bartender was attentive and kind. very good service. impeccable actually. delish. will def be back.“

“My first time at this restaurant for a fabulous shared birthday party. It was amazing. Not only the party and the staff, but the cuisine! ❤️ The appetizers (some of the freshest, delecate, perfectly prepared calamari), desserts (all amazing), main dishes (I had the salmon...yum!), but that salad dressing!!! It is the most delicious, freshest of flavors! Many of us purchased a bottle to bring home (I live in another state) and enjoy it immensely. i wished I lived nearby. I highly recommend this amazing place!“

“Delicious food. We just had our dinner delivered to the pool. Lasagna, Broccoli, Caesar Salad. The family raved about it and had 3+ servings, kids included.“

“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!“

“We had a great dinner on our way to Charlottesville… 👍. Thank you.“

“I ordered the Lasagna dinner and I The serving was large and the salad was with Balsamic Vinaigrette’s. They also make pizza did not try from the amount of Togo orders it must be good. The management needs to decide are a full fledged Italian restaurant or just a pizza place serving some Italian food. I would go back again.“

“First time eating here and I am in love. I decided to get chicken piccata, my favorite dish, because I'm always on the lookout for a good one. I am always disappointed by other restaurants because there's never enough sauce, cappers, no seasoning or over salted. Not here. There was a good amount of sauce, a lot of capers, good amount of chicken. The plate was huge!!! For 27 dollars including a drink and garlic knots thus was highly worth it. And the garlic bread that came with the pasta has real garlic on it. Chefs kiss. Coming back again and next time bringing friends. This place puts other pizza and italian places to shame.“

“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!“

“Good food, good service. Reasonable prices“

“Friendly, quaint and delicious food. Great service. What more do you need“

“Great food and nice atmosphere“

“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.)“

“Subs don’t have any meat on them. Basically a bread sub. It’s a joke. And the customer service was terrible (Update) 2/24/26 I decided to give them another chance and they have done better..the wings are great and the steak is delicious“

“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.“

“Our server, Augustina, is always the best! Efficient, helpful and always so nice!“

“We had a family Father's Day and two birthday get together. It was a lot of fun bowling and the food was wonderful. From the small plates while bowling to a late lunch downstairs. Thanks to Jeremy for the Great food. And Jose is a great server, He was very helpful with the menu food came out fast and hot.It was our first time and we were very pleased. Please get elevator fixed as I had issues with all the steps. Thanks for a great time. David, Cara and Family Bowers.“

“fantastic food, great service.“

“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!“

“Warm and casual atmosphere.“

“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 stopped by today to pick up a pizza. Stephanie was the manager. She is wonderful!!! She was training with patience a new employee and finishing pizza orders. She handled a wrong order with grace. She acknowledged every customer as they came in. She was above professional! Thank you Stephanie! Love my Ledo’s!“

“I'm a regular at Angelo's almost every Tuesday during the fall middle school and spring high school softball seasons. I stop there between the game I umpire and teaching religious education around the corner at St. Patrick's. I will say that the quality at Angelo's is outstanding. I usually do a combination cheeseburger sub or steak and cheese. They are excellent. Plus, the fries are real fries that come out of the deep frier nice and crispy. I often will treat my religious education class to pizzas from Angelo's and they always tell me it's good pizza. Finally, they have Little Gina's pizzels. They're an Italian cookie my Italian mom would make and they are exactly like she would cook them. So, if you want some great pizza or sub plus some really crispy fries, I highly recommend Angelo's. Maybe I'll see you there some Tuesday!“

“Not only is the pizza the best around, but they also have so many wonderful other dishes. I love, love, love Ledo's.“

“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!!“

“Me and the boys ordered three pizzas, large cheesy breadsticks, and a 2‑liter last night — everything was perfect. Before placing the order, I called ahead and spoke with the manager, Jon, and he was fantastic. He double‑checked everything, made sure the order was right, and had it ready exactly when he said it would be.

By the time I arrived, Jon had already left for the day, but the gentleman working up front was just as awesome. Top‑notch customer service from start to finish. The food was hot, fresh, and exactly what we asked for.

Honestly, this might be the best Ledo’s I’ve ever been to.
Give these guys praises, raises, & daisies. They earned it.“

“I had a great experience at this pizza house. The pizza was delicious, and I was very happy with the quality and taste. What really stood out was the kindness of the staff. It was extremely cold outside, and my car wouldn’t start because of the weather. They went out of their way to help me get my car started. Everyone was so kind and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!!“

“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.“

“The pizza and appetizers were delicious. Will be back soon to try different menu items. Customer service was great 👍“

“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!!“

“Hello, during my recent visit to Ledo Pizza in Clarksville MD in December, I had a delightful experience. The pizza was great but more expensive than I'm used to up north, in Canadia. There was a nice gluten free crust, and the servers were taller than I am used to. There was adequate parking for my reindeer. The atmosphere was decent. I hope to return next Christmas!“

“Fantastic food all around. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to have a meal with your family or just hang out with friends and watch a game at the bar. There’s indoor seating and outdoor seating. The staff are great as well. Can’t go wrong when you come here.“

“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 best pizza since 1975!!! I lived by the first Armand’s in Tenleytown, DC (which closed) and I came for the pizza I love and have missed!🎉🍕❤️ So happy to see the old sign here!❤️“

“It was my first time ordering pizza at this establishment and the truth is that I was very satisfied with the food. The truth is that this is one of the best pizzas that I have ever had. I will order here again more often with a lot of confidence and satisfaction. I felt bad for not having more cash to spend. The driver is a very kind man. Thank you! …..It was my first time ordering in this establishment and the truth is that I was very satisfied with the food, the truth is that this is one of the best pizzas that I have tried, I will order here more often with a lot of confidence and satisfaction THANK YOU Pizza's Bolis'“

“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.“

“I ordered their wings and their pepperoni pizza after a long time; i’m not sure if their management has changed, but the food was a lot better definitely loved it and it’s more cleaner and the person who is dealing with me up in the front was very kind so I definitely thought it was worth the mention!“
