Just had an amazing meal at Gregorio's Trattoria. The food is delicious, with unique Italian dishes not found elsewhere. The cozy atmosphere feels like a dining room in Italy. Service was friendly, albeit slow, as we had to wave down the waitress numerous times, as the waiters were chatting together on the sidelines. The prices are affordable. The mango ice cream for dessert was exceptional! If you enjoy Italian food, and have the time to sit for awhile, this place is for you.
Good sized portions. Angela, our server, was pleasant and knowledgeable. House salad was not very exciting otherwise, very tasty.
I've been a fan of Gregorio's at Cabin John for many years. If you want consistently delicious Italian food served by people who are really attentive and genuinely friendly, this is the place. Always my go-to restaurant for a reliably good meal in a warm, comfortable atmosphere. I love it!
Food was excellent. Our first server was not great and the manager Del (Who is wonderful) changed our server. He was very responsive and a great server
I enjoy eating here. The food is outstanding. Try the wings and they won't let you down. The people are great and the service is terrific.
If You Have Kids, Skip This Restaurant — And Sadly, Racism Still Lives Here. This evening, my aunt, my four-year-old cousin, my 18-month-old son, and I dined at Gregorio’s Trattoria in Cabin John Village, Potomac. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing and left me feeling both unwelcome and disrespected. We initially sat outside but requested to move indoors after it began to rain. Once settled inside, we were served our entrees. While eating, my toddler accidentally bit into a fry that was too hot, causing him to cry briefly. I quickly calmed him down, and the rest of the meal was smooth. In fact, several customers and staff members interacted kindly with my son, complimenting him and even playing with him. For the majority of the evening, he was calm, playful, and simply laughing at his cousin’s silly faces — nothing disruptive or excessive. Later, the manager stopped by our table, complimented my son, and may have quietly asked my aunt to “keep it down,” though nothing was said directly to me as his mother. Regardless, my son was not crying, screaming, or disturbing other diners. He was simply laughing — as any 18-month-old child does. When we finished eating, our server brought the check without offering a dessert menu, which felt dismissive, especially since we were there to celebrate my aunt’s birthday. Eventually, a slice of cake was brought out, which we appreciated. However, the evening took a very upsetting turn when a group of older Caucasian women at another table told me that my son was “too loud” and “shouldn’t be in the restaurant.” This was deeply offensive, especially because my child had only been laughing softly with his cousin. Their comments were not only unkind but discriminatory in nature. What was most disappointing was the response from the staff. Instead of addressing the inappropriate remarks directed at us, our server told me to leave after I stood up for my child. At no point had management or staff ever indicated that my son was being disruptive — only these customers. Yet the restaurant chose to side with them. Given the dynamic and the fact that the women were of a different race, I cannot overlook the racial undertones in how this situation was handled. Gregorio’s presents itself as a family-friendly restaurant, yet our treatment suggested the opposite. Families with young children deserve to feel welcome and respected while dining out, especially when children are simply laughing at the table. I’ve dined with my son at finer establishments and have never experienced such hostility or discrimination. This experience was unacceptable. I will not be returning, and I urge management to reflect on how they handle situations involving families and, more importantly, how racial bias may influence their decisions. Every paying customer deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
This was our first time dining in Gregorio's. We were seated quickly and given a delicious bread basket! Our waitress was professional and smart, which is something we value! Our pizzas and wine were so delicious too. We will be back for sure.
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.
First, the sound level can only be described as deafening. Even though we had a reservation, they offered us a “high top” in the bar area, which was essentially a table in the waiting area at the front of the restaurant. We said we would like to wait for a table, to which they brought another table and set it directly in the waiting area across the door from the front desk where people queue as they wait, as if our issue was needing a table that was 14 inches shorter as opposed to its location. This place was definitely exceeding maximum occupancy guidelines and needs to remove ~10+ tables so people can enjoy the place.
Overall, very solid and a great local option for Italian eats. Very kid-friendly with affordable choices for the littles. I really enjoyed my entree, no complaints.

Sunday Eve, my birthday. Lovely waiter. Seated right away. We stayed til closing chatting, no pressure to leave. Food—EXCELLENT. Bread sticks with delicious marinara dip, Veal saltimbocca, Gregorio salad with chicken, shrimp fea diavolo, whole grilled branzino. Too full for dessert. Definitely going back!
The electricity went off just as I was about to pay. Del, the maître d, took my credit card# and called me later to finish the transaction. He removed the dessert charge for inconvenience. It was a good experience.
The Caesar salad never disappoints, and the salmon rose is always delicious. While it's not on the menu, I ordered the Chicken Brunello with spaghetti (rather than penne), and it was absolutely scrumptious! Our server offered to put our leftovers in containers for us - a nice touch - and even packaged up our leftover garlic knots and accompanying sauce. A very nice treat for us, highly recommend.
My wife and I enjoyed a very nice lunch at Gregorios. We thoroughly enjoyed the complementary bread sticks and the entree salads. The staff was very friendly and professional.
It's a great little Italian spot. The service and the food are fantastic. It's a great place to bring a date or the family. I go there with my friends a lot, and they have yet to disappoint!
