16 Best Italian Restaurants in Rockville

“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.“

“VERY nice neighborhood restaurant--with good food and friendly staff and customers. Everyone nearby should come by and check them out!“

“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!“

“Good food, good service. Reasonable prices“

“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.“

“fantastic food, great service.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and nice atmosphere“

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

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

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

“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“

“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👏👏“
