50 Best Italian Restaurants near Herndon

“The bread was bussin, the calamari tasted like fried egg but in a good way. The mozarella sticks on the other hand could use better breading. The server was friendly but a bit pushy when I couldn’t eat everything. Which is understandable. Gotta be a conservationist. But lesson learned for next time. Just get the bread and calamari. 👍🏻“

“Excellent food and the owner aims to please her customers!“

“Service was awesome. Food was good, especially sesame bun when we sat down, and good tomato brushetta. Not a fan a dogmatic menu statements against substitutions, etc. Also my wife was not impressed with having to ask for (and pay extra) for a tiny bowl of side pasta for chicken parm. Tables seem to be too close together. Overall OK experience being our first time there.“

“I recently visited the Pollo Campero location in Amityville, and I have to say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was top-notch.

The food itself was incredible. The chicken was perfectly cooked - juicy, flavorful, and with that signature crispy skin. Every bite was a burst of deliciousness.

I have to give a special shout-out to Lilian. Her service was outstanding! She was friendly, efficient, and made sure everything was perfect with our meal. She truly went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable.

The service overall was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive.

If you're looking for a fantastic meal, excellent service, and a great atmosphere, definitely head to the Pollo Campero in Amityville. Highly recommended!“

“Great bar atmosphere and bartenders.“

“Best pizza in town, I tried tandoori paneer tikka pizza and it was the best by far. Highly recommended“

“it's nothing at all like a NY pizza dough is not hand tossed . It's basically like any chain style pizza . service was quick and cooked properly. typical pizza for a kids party etc .“

“The staff was incredibly accommodating for a small birthday party. They made sure we ordered food before everyone arrived so we weren't waiting long. Shout out to Mike and his sister who helped us arrange everything for a fun get together! Pizza was delicious and hot. Highly recommend the cookie tray for birthdays.“

“Honestly one of the best chain restaurant experiences I’ve had in a long time. Everything was genuinely delicious, fresh, hot, and the portions were huge. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the breadsticks were dangerously addictive, and even the salad tasted fresh instead of feeling like an afterthought. For the amount of food you get, the prices are honestly very reasonable nowadays. You leave completely full without feeling ripped off.

The atmosphere was relaxed, comfortable, and actually enjoyable to sit in for a while. Our waitress did keep sniffling her nose the whole time which was a little distracting, but she was still polite, fast, and attentive, so it honestly felt like a tiny issue compared to how good the overall experience was.

People love to joke about Olive Garden online, but sometimes a place is popular for a reason. Big portions, solid comfort food, unlimited breadsticks, and a menu where almost everyone can find something they like. This visit completely delivered. Definitely coming back again.“

“Pupatella is a great spot for delicious food! Order the cannolis. The zesty lemon flavor with the creamy ricotta and salty pistachios was to die for! I’m ordering them to get delivered to my hotel for the second day in a row. The shells are yummy as well. Great place- good people- wonderful food. ☺️♥️“

“This is the best Ledo's Pizza in the area. I live in Arlington and only get my Ledo's Pizza at the Fairfax location. Muhammad always makes you feel like you're part of the family. Makes your pizza exactly the way you ask for it to be made.“

“The food is always amazing ❤️ but I really wanted to leave this review to highlight the service.

I arrived feeling disappointed and frustrated after a bad experience at the restaurant next door, where they made me feel uncomfortable for bringing my service dog with me. I asked here, without much expectation, if I could have lunch with my dog, and everyone was EXTREMELY kind. From the first waiter, to the cleaning lady, the waitress, and even the manager, everyone made me feel welcome and comfortable.

They even offered water for my baby 🩷 and honestly, that small gesture meant so much to me. They completely changed my day and helped me forget the bad experience I came from.

It’s so nice to know there are still people who truly understand customer service. This location is 35 minutes from my house, and I would absolutely come back again 🩷🩷🩷“

I listened to the way she answered the phone she is definitely professional.. the way she spoke to her customers was amazing she even helped a elderly woman bring her food to the car for her and open and s*** the woman door . I couldn't stop smiling.. I'm so amazed about her.. one more thing I even heard how she was speaking to the other workers asked them was they ok and that they are doing a good job.. see we definitely need more people like her in this environment.. great job Allison!!!!!
