“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!“

“Love this place. Great food and staff“

“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!“

“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!“

“I had a great experience at Paisano’s Pizza, and I especially want to recognize Gaby for her excellent customer service. She is incredibly patient, helpful, and genuinely takes the time to make sure customers understand their options before ordering.

What really stood out to me was how attentive she was with elderly customers and people who were unsure or confused about the menu. She never made them feel rushed or uncomfortable she calmly explained things and made sure they were taken care of.

Customer service like that makes a real difference. Gaby is a great representative of Paisano’s Pizza, and she deserves recognition for the way she treats people. Highly recommended!“

“One of our favorite neighborhood spots. Even if we didn’t live in the neighborhood, we would make our way over here.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I had such a great experience at Sal’s Italian Kitchen! The staff was honestly one of the best parts. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment we walked in. They made sure we had everything we needed and were always checking in without being overbearing. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about their customers and making sure everyone has a good experience. The service was quick, professional, and made us feel really comfortable. The food was also amazing, but the great staff is definitely what made the experience stand out. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The service is warm and pleasantly engaging and the food and beverages are outstanding. What’s not to love about Lupo?“

“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.“

“Great food! Fast and attentive service! Clean and pleasant environment!“

“Food was fabulous. Our table had the pizza, gnocchi and a seafood dish. All were spectacular. The service was awesome. Will definitely come back.“

“light crust with good crunch“

“Was nearby for a doctors appointment and stopped in with my daughter. We had one special cheesesteak with everything on it. Food was fantastic and staff were very kind and courteous. I would absolutely be back next time I’m in the area.“

“Now THIS is a sandwich! The semolina sesame bread is only made better by the STACK of meat they generously pile on, plus all the toppings. I had the roast beef and turkey, and my friend had the eggplant parm… both fanTAStic. Regret I have to drive all the way from Fairfax to get here (we don’t have good sandwich places in the Frfx Sta/Burke area), but I will just to try everything on the menu. Special thanks to the guys who run it - they obviously enjoy people & their job - their friendliness is big enough to fill their small establishment. Take your appetite and GO!“

“We are a family with well behaved small children and grandparents. Capri staff were wonderful. Food was better than ever. Bravo to the kitchen for excellent meats and fish with wonderful sauces. Slow between courses on a busy night. Lots of ambient noise that was fine for our group but may not be best choice for intimate dinner.“

“great sausage and pepper pizza!“

“Olazzo catered a recent birthday party for us. Everything about the experience was first rate. Scott Crivella was extremely helpful in finagling the menu. The food was delivered right on time and was ready to serve. Our guests were delighted with the chicken Marsala, mango salmon, penne marinara, antipasto platter and bruschetta. Everything was delicious and the servings were very generous. We were extremely pleased.“

“Terrific pizza!. Staff were wonderful. Definitely recommend. We will be going back!“

“Our first visit to Cafe Renaissance and will not be our last. Wonderful staff, menu and food. The wine list is extensive and overall dining experience could not have been better; it was a super evening.“
