I'm Italian, and this was by far one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever eaten at. The sauce and pasta was fantastic. My friend ordered Pizza and it was also one of the best I've ever eaten. The service was impeccable. Great ambiance. I will definitely return again on my next visit to the Washington area.

very authentic italian food, only the portion sizes are american... :)

delivery, take-out no problem at all. the quality is just the same as if u dine in.

prices are a bit high, but this is bethesda and i rather pay a bit more for a pizza, as long as it tastes great and like a real italian pizza, instead of the "cardboard" u get at plenty other places.

We were visiting from out of town and meeting friends at the nearby park. With two toddlers and two preschoolers, pasta places are always a good bet. And, for the kids, this place was fine.

Little kids don't mind poorly cooked pasta, thin and flavorless sauce, and bland cheese. Little kids are happy to chow down on touch pieces of toast, painted in bright orange oil. Little a kids already know to avoid the cheap olive oil and raw garlic provided for dipping. And little kids are happy to chow down on plain, overcooked broccoli.

If I were rating this place based on food for the price I'd have to give it one star. Sure, no one got sick, but for these prices I'd expect them to know how to prepare pasta and cook a basic ragu. But we got to sit outside and it's hard to be unhappy with 70 degrees on a March evening. Plus the service really was good - they got food in front of the kids within 10 minutes of sitting down and they responded promptly to every other request.

Also, I stole a few bites of a 2 year old's pizza and that was really good. If we come back, that's what I'd get.

My family has been eating at all of their locations for years. The pizza is awesome and the portions of pasta that they serve you are insane. We always leave with a big bag of food to take home. The servers are fast and efficient. Good stuff!!
