I would do Hunter's Inn in Potomac. Their food is really good now, not Aventino but on par with Woodmont Grill, and better than Clydes, Gregorio's, Maggiano's or Stanford. They have two private rooms, one for 8-10 people and the other can handle tables of 12. They do not charge for a private space. It's quiet and the service is really good. General American. Take a look at the menu... there's something for everyone with generous portions.

Seasons 52 has private rooms and a tucked away area called chef’s table (seats 12). the larger rooms can go up to around 20-30 people.

Caruso’s is great and isn’t loud.

Pizzeria Da Marco would be a good choice for something like this.

That's like saying you're the best hockey player in Ecuador.

Warning - this place is LOUD! I wouldn't recommend it if you want to have conversations!

Thanks for suggestion. Do any of these have like a private room or a table tucked away? So many restaurants are so loud and crowded.

Clydes. Gregorios. Stanford Grill.

Where’s the closest Maggianno’s? Friendship Heights?

Aventino is the best Italian in Bethesda.

Hi, I need to book a restaurant for a large-ish family dinner celebration. The event is in Bethesda, so a restaurant there or close-by Potomac or Rockville is preferred. I think we will be between 8 and 14...still working out exactly who is joining.
Any suggestions? The honoree has requested Italian or general American or steak/meat type places.
