Recommend a great Italian restaurant in Montgomery County

[Anonymous]

Looking for a good Italian restaurant with classic dishes and vegetarian options.

Il pizzico is amazing (not sure about vegetarian)

We enjoy Gregorio's Trattoria (Cabin John location on Tuckerman, have not been to others). Several non-meat/fish offerings.

Aventino. Gah autocorrect.

Il Pizzico and Greggorio’s in Cabin John Mall are both great recommendations (I’m vegetarian and had plenty to choose from at both). I think Il Pizzico is nicer/better for special occasions and Gregorio’s is a little more casual.

I really hated this restaurant. Not sure why everyone loves it. As a vegetarian, I just got pasta and some cheese for $50 dollars - horrible menu for vegetarians and no parking near by.

The County parking garage directly across the street does not qualify?

I should have parked there but didn't. Not sure why Bethesda doesn't have good classic dishes Italian restaurants like Northern Virginia or have to go to DC.

Caruso grocery at pike and rose is well reviewed but I’ve never been able to get a reservation there.
Sorrento is fine for basic classic Italian.

I thought Aventino was good. Definitely good by MoCo standards. Caruso’s Grocery is great but need to make a rez early. I agree it’s a bit of an Italian joint desert in MoCo. It’s sad to say but even an Il Fornaio would be a step up in the area! Some people swear by Pines or Rome, others Olazzo, etc but none of them do it for me.

Aw, glad to hear this is still good. We loved it years ago when we lived near there.

Unfortunately nothing great available for vegetarian. Northern VA and DC a lot better.
