50 Best Italian Restaurants near Potomac Falls

“Lucia's is my favorite Italian restaurant. Lasagna,Ravioli,Pizza, fresh baked bread and the best Steak and cheese subs !“

“We had such a great experience here. Our kids enjoyed playing with the pizza dough before their dinner came. Everything was delicious and the service was exceptional.“

““Scaloppine di Vitello Porcini” — top notch. Friendly staff, good food, even the pre-dinner bread was warm, soft and delicious!“

“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!“

“Doesn't disappoint from walking in to finished meal. Classic Italian, top notch service, worth every dollar spent.“

From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and celebrated. The food was nothing short of incredible—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail and impeccable service made the evening feel extra special. Thank you, Dante, for making our anniversary so memorable. We’ll definitely be coming back for more.“

“In general, the food is good, always made right, and everyone is polite. Couldn't ask for anything else from a pizza joint.

Things do seem a bit overpriced though, and I wouldn't order from there if it weren't for their coupons.“

“Delicious Food, Divine Wine, Lovely Evening! We shared appetizers, desserts & wine while we visited this wonderful restaurant!“

“Delicious New York style thin crust pizza. It's not a seen-a-thousand-times chain. The place has it's own personality - like an actual person designed it from their own ideas, rather than from a marketing and branding strategy. I eat there every time I'm in the area.“

“I threw a surprise party for my mom’s 50th birthday on August 10 in the private dining room, and I just want to give a huge shout out to our server. We had a party of over 20 people and the flow of the evening was great. Food was amazing as always, and everyone had a lot of fun. Thank you! Highly recommend. 😊“

Lamb chops, crab cakes and ribeye for main course. Mango sorbet and cappuccino creme brûlée for dessert. We liked all of it except the risotto that accompanied the lamb chop.

“This place has the best hoagies! Or subs or grinders....whatever you want to call them, they are delicious! The bread is fresh and so is everything else! It reminds me of the hoagie shop from back home and has the smell of fresh bread and sandwiches that are so packed full of meat and cheese!“

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

“I have to eat here every time I go to Leesburg! I ❤️ their Grilled Chicken Ceasar! This is the only place I know you get more chicken than salad! And the pizza is awesome too!! This is a franchise, but you would never know it!! The owners/managers must be great people because the staff is always great, the restaurant is always spotless!!!“

“The high tea on Saturday was fabulous. The staff was top notch and the food and beverages delicious.“

“My sister and I were looking for the perfect venue for our father's 90th birthday celebration and Il Cappero in Lansdowne fit our needs perfectly in terms of size, location, food and atmosphere.
The owner, Mario, was incredibly helpful and very easy to work with. We had 33 people at the party and their room was the perfect size for our guests. The food was so delicious, compliments to the chef! They are even celiac friendly, and prepared a separate plate just for me:)
The food was incredible and the hospitality from the staff was outstanding! Adela spearheaded the event, and she did a great job making sure everyone was happy. From the appetizers, main dinner, to the cake-cutting, Adela orchestrated the event seamlessly.
All of our guests remarked on how nice the event was!
Thank you so much!!“

“I rarely give a five star rating, but based on my two recent orders at Scotto's Rigatoni Grill I feel comfortable doing so. Both of my orders were through Door Dash.

My first order consisted of tortellini-something I crave but rarely find good anywhere. The tortellini was perfectly cooked and coated with just the right amount of sauce. The serving was generous and came with a couple of delicious pieces of bread.

My second order was the antipasto salad. Everything was super fresh, again generous and really tasted great. I normally cannot eat raw onions, but whatever type of red onions this restaurant uses were very mild and added to the taste.

There are no hidden fees using Door Dash and the separate food items arrived at the perfect temperature for both orders.

I have never been to this location in person, but I imagine it is a kind of diner that believes in yummy food, at a decent price and leaves you wanting for more.“

“always amazing pizza, been coming here for years. delicious crust too. love their random 50% off deals (late night happy hours)

waaaaaaaaay better than the other chain slop (dominos, pizza hut, the like)

also their cannolis are top notch and they're still affordable, unlike desserts literally anywhere else

top quality 👌“

“Used Uber Eats. The food was excellent. Ordered the chicken piccata, and Caesar salad. I loved how they gave me plenty of Caesar dressing. The chicken piccata was authentic. I just wish they had their desserts were listed on the UEs website. I would have like to have tried them.“

“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. ☺️♥️“

“Their pizzas are incredible, and the Greek and Italian dishes never disappoint. Even the salads, starters, and hotdogs are solid. The restaurant manager Fadi and Henry are super friendly. I have been coming here at least once a week, and I love it. Definitely one of the best spots in the area :)“

“The food and service is amazing!! If you want to have a taste of homemade authentic Italian food. This is the place. From the appetizers, main dishes in the amazing desserts. Everything was absolutely incredible. We had impeccable service. Everything was so good. We’re going back a second time before we leave Maryland.“

“I was at the paisonos in Vienna,VA couple on Sunday Sept 11th and the lady who works the front think her name is Allison she is very respectful and polite. She deft is a hard worker and I'm so glad she is working there.. last time I eat there was in May and I wasn't happy with the customer service but I'm gonna tell you y'all need to keep her there I hope she is a manager if not she needs to be.me and my family sat in to eat she asked us multiple times did we need any,asked how our food was she even cleaned out mess up when she didn't half to..way to go paisanos about time you guys got decent people taking orders . 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!!!!! Please give her a recommendation because when I come back I'm gonna ask her .. you will definitely get my business atleast two or three times a week“

“The pizza here is the best!!! The kids go to’s are pepperoni and cheese! My husband and I just had the white veggie pizza! We have also ordered breadstick bites and chicken tenders! Everything we order is hot, fresh and delicious! Customer service is excellent! They really go above and beyond! Thanks for everything!!!“

“Marco's Pizza never disappoints! The pizzas are always hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. The large cheese Pizza is out go-to choice—it's always cooked perfectly with with a crunchy/chewy crust.

The staff is friendly, and Mike, the manager, is awesome! He ensures every order is spot on and makes you feel like a valued customer.

If you're looking for delicious takeout pizza with great service, Marco's Pizza is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“excellent“

“this Olive Garden has the most beautiful interior and the food was great especially the stuffed ziti fritta appetizer (the alfredo sauce that came with it was seriously amazing makes me wish I got an entree with alfredo sauce), my one and only complaint is that it felt that our server was rushing us the whole time despite it not seeming busy in the restaurant I'm not sure if he was supposed to be cut soon or something but it was a bit off-putting

oh also not that it matters much but the bread sticks were super bland“

“Had a late dinner here and really want to report how pleased I was with the food. Tried the spaghetti and meatballs and a slice of Sicilian pizza and both items were prepared with care and delivered exactly that familiar delicious satisfaction that I would like to have but don't always get from small italian-american restaurants. Bravo! Especially for the Sicilian pie which I haven't had in decades (I'd literally forgotten what it was like). It immediately reminded me that once upon a time I'd had some like this and it was great, the crust both crispy and soft and a very well balanced and flavorful topping.
The prices are a lot higher than those of my distant memories, but that's dining out in 2025 for you. I'll definitely try more of their pizza in the future.“

“Awesome place great service open 24 hours gotta love it“

“They have the best food, quick delivery. Even ice cream delivered for desert! Yum.“

“We love the family meal deals we come in every Friday almost and get it! Great food great place all above amazing 10000% recommend“

“Authentic Napoletana pizz with fresh quality ingredients. Loved the burrata salad which is definitely for at least 2-3 people. The music is great to add to the mood and the owners are so friendly. My new favorite place!“

“Took my wife here to celebrate her birthday. To be honest, I have nothing negative to say. Everything was perfect. Our server was attentive, the food came out quickly, the flavors were exquisite, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Even with the noise around the restaurant and bar area, we never felt overwhelmed. I'm absolutely returning to Davios because the only issue I had was that there were so many more items on the menu I wanted to try! I'm from MA and can't wait to try Davios in Boston and Patriot Place as well! Thanks for a spectacular evening!

Parking: They validate parking! Valet is only $10.“

“Highly professional atmosphere with a strong dedication to saving lives. I had the honor of attending a meeting to learn about volunteer opportunities. The Heroes who run, manage, and operate the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department are exceptional people who exhibit courage, bravery, teamwork, and excellence. They go above and beyond to fulfill a very important mission!“

“Best pizza in Ashburn Great friendly service“
