Came here when the doors opened a while back. We were seated promptly as the restaurant was empty. As the evening went on, of course, it filled up more and more. We ordered a few dishes, all very well done and cooked to perfection.
The place and staff felt very familial and well versed on their spe
All the food was delicious. I ordered the special, the red snapper was really tasty. The spaghetti marinara was good but the penne vodka was my favorite. For the ones that don’t like pasta we got a chicken with mushrooms sauce, potatoes and veggies.
Excellent Italian food in a lowkwy Bethesda setting that draws many locals. The calamari was good. The flounder stuffed with crab and served with pasta was amazing. It's definitely worth trying from the specials menu. We will be back when looking for traditional Italian food again.

Great little Italian spot. We ordered the specials tonight. A rack of lamb and red snapper in white wine sauce and they where both fantastic. Portions are a nice size and the pasta is fantastic
I love this spot, food is fresh and so many great items on the menu. You must try one of the chicken dishes! I have gone here twice now and have loved it everytime. Nice place for any occasion and great service. Highly recommend!
The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly! It’s a nice change being at a family run restaurant. My favourite is either the penne vodka or the carbonara! If you’re in the mood for dessert, the canolli or zuppe engles are my go to! Will always return for more :)

Ordered the Penne Incazzate, and garlic bread. Everything was fresh and delicious. The waiter (Mark) was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant as well. I will be back.
The atmosphere, food and service at this restaurant are all amazing. This is our second time being back, the first time was when we had a birthday dinner and they were very accommodating. Thank you so much Melinda S. for that wonderful experience during the birthday. We definitely will be back agai
Great authentic Italian fare in downtown Bethesda. I had the seafood risotto, which was fantastic. My wife had the pasta puttanesca with crab meat- delicious as well.
WOW. What can I say about this lovely, family owned restaurant: IT FEELS LIKE HOME. So much so that whether my mom and I feel like celebrating or in need of a mood boost, THIS is where we go. The energy is awesome. You feel the love of a traditional, home-made experience, but with a garnish of e
Nicest Italian restaurant I've been to in the DMV. Exactly what you want from a little family restaurant. Unpretentious, good prices, relaxed and quiet atmosphere, kind people. The food is good and you never feel rushed.
My all-time favorite Italian spot. Incredible food, ambiance, and service. Their chicken milanese and veal ravioli are to die for.
Awesome authentic, Italian, mom & pop restaurant with great food, decor, and staff!
The atmosphere is wonderful and true to traditional Italian restaurants. The food, especially the pizza, is some of the best in Bethesda no question. Ethan and Matt are professional and understanding, I recommend anyone in the area to give them a try.
