    Fettucine
    John F.

    Surprisingly upscale restaurant on a rowdy part of Cordell Street. My wife and I sat at the back bar and loved the vibe. Bartender (Donny?) is attentive and shows the impact of a great bartender. I started with the limoncello-pepperoni wings. They were 6 good-sized and tasty wings and a good value. I also had the fettuccini with short rib and it was excellent and a good value. My wife had a pizza and Caesar salad. She liked the homemade croutons, which elevate any salad. Surprisingly, the pizza was only fair. It was not nearly as good as other brick oven pizzas in the area (Matchbox and Pizzeria Da Marco) I debated 3 or 4 stars. Most of the experience was very positive as was the value and vibe. I took off stars for a miss on their headline food item.

    Old Fashioned
    Randy B.

    Although I didn't try the food this visit, everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great! They have both an indoor and outdoor bar, but I sat at the indoor bar on this occasion. Place was packed with smiling and laughing patrons, which is my kind of crowd. I enjoyed my Old Fashioned, which was pretty good here.

    The claim of "all" pizzas and sandwiches was a scam!  They rudely explained I could only pick one

    I've been here for happy hour a couple of times and the pizza is decent , but I'd like to specifically give it my second to worst one star review ever (behind the burrito place that stuck a bottle cap in my food) for the condescending and rude service I experienced on a recent visit. I came on an early evening during Savor Bethesda restaurant week and noticed that one of the advertised specials (sandwiches) was not on the menu . The bartender, an 50ish white male with glasses and goatee / gray hair gave me an evil look and explained that was normally a lunch item. I kindly reminded him that the special was all day, and he grudgingly gave me the menu as if he were handing me the keys to Fort Knox. I proceeded to order a pizza and sandwich and he asked me which one I wanted at the discounted price. I noted that the menu (attached) said ALL pizzas and sandwiches were $10 with no restrictions listed. The bartender laughed rudely at me and said "what? Are you kidding? It's only one." I responded with a look of slight shock that any restaurant would interpret discount rules so strictly, and proceeded to explain that I was a Yelp elite and hoping to give his restaurant a great review. At which point he responded snidely, "I'm sure you are." At that point I walked out and also let the manager know that I would never dine there again nor would I recommend it to anyone. Ultimately it's at the restaurant's discretion now they want to regulate specials but at least provide a friendly explanation. Ironically I've booked multiple corporate events recently with competing Italian restaurants in the area and the $3-5 they lost from the offer I never placed could have produced a 500-1000x return overnight. Prime case study in how to NOT treat customers!!!

    This is my go-to spot in downtown Bethesda! Alatri bros has everything a bread & cheese lover could wish for. Along with happy hour deals every week day they offer daily specials like PBS Tuesday and discounted Wine Wednesday. Their whipped feta and arancini are my favorite appetizers of ALL time. Definitely skip out on the limoncello wings, the sauce is not my favorite. You can't go wrong with any of their many meat & cheese boards. Their fries came out hot and crispy although too thick for my liking. To echo the other reviews, their pizzas are definitely top tier. They're always baked to perfection and the perfect size for one. There is seating for everyone. Inside tables surrounding the full bar and a sunny patio area covered by a high ceiling, perfect for sitting and sipping an aperol spritz. Both Carlo & Louis make sure my experience is the best every time I'm there! I've received great recommendations & excellent bar service. The food comes out hot & fresh every time! I will definitely be back!

    Cannoli
    Aarti B.

    Delicious wood-fired Neapolitan Margherita pizza with a fluffy pillowy soft crust and dollops of fresh mozzarella cheese! The apps were a bit of a miss, the pizza was the highlight of our meal! The pizza hit the spot and while Margherita pizzas can be skimpy on the cheese, there was just the right amount of cheese spread evenly to enjoy some in every bite! The pizza paired well with a bottle of Chianti Classico. I was surprised to see 2 different bottles of Chianti (Classico and Reserved) and enjoyed the Chianti Classico. The thick Hand cut steak fries were okay, the potatoes weren't cooked all the way through and it was disappointing there was no honey mustard or aioli sauce (it was either ketchup or ranch). The Deviled Eggs were a bit bland. The Focaccia bread isn't featured on the menu, but you can order a small side/slice of bread. The slice of buttered toasted bread was a bit denser than I expected and didn't quite have that soft scrumptious texture that I was hoping for. While the seasonal Limoncello cheesecake looked tempting, I got the Cannoli. which had a sweet and decadent creamy filling with a nice caramel drizzle in a crunchy shell. It was a bit disappointing that some of the classic Italian food/drink items were missing like there was no cappuccino or tiramisu featured on the menu. Dog-friendly on the patio and plenty of tables outside with heating and small tables inside with a cozy bar area. There's also great happy hour specials on the weekdays.

    Multi Carne
    Whitney L.

    Decided to swing by with my boyfriend for savor Bethesda! They had an amazing deal for lunch (weekends only) for an appetizer, lunch and a canoli $20 per person. We both ordered buffalo wings (A+), he ordered the multi carni and I the salsiccia. I preferred the multi carni a bit more with the amount of protein it came with. Handcut fries were ok, a bit too chunky for me so it didn't taste like the potato was cooked all the way through. Service was amazing. Both the host and waitress were friendly and checked on us several times to make sure we were comfortable. There's inside and outside seating (within a tent). The inside of the restaurant is a bit smaller with a cozy bar and outside seating has several heaters to keep it warm. 100% would return here.

    Shrimp Parmesan

    I was really excited to try this place, I heard great things. Unfortunately they didn't live up to the hype. I ordered a Shrimp Parmesan to go, to keep it simple it just was super bland. Particularly the sauce needs a little love, the shrimp was pretty good. The staff were friendly, and my food was hot, I appreciated that. I probably should've ordered pizza..

    Dessert

    Well the food was great.I got mussels and they are so good the lemonade had so much flavor and the fries where so thick.The service was so good my waiter Louis was so nice and he brought my food so fast.they cleaned the table even when l didn't ask so the table was always clean.The sated Carmel and the vanilla was so good l had such a good time l recommend it.

    Prosciutto pizza
    Adam L.

    We went because of the "Savor Bethesda" Restaurant Week, but very much disappointed. Although the website clearly said "$20 Dinner: 1 starter + 1 entrée; $35 Dinner: 1 starter + 1 entrée + 1 dessert", but there is NO option. The only starter has to be the crab soup. The only entree has to be mushrooms ravioli. The only $15 dessert is chocolate covered strawberries. We decided to try other dishes. The waitress did stop by our table frequently, but the 30-minutes cooking time was too long for three pastas and one pizza. The ravioli were well made and well prepared. The veal/beef tortellacci were very delicious. The spicy shrimp spaghetti were kind I'd dry. The prosciutto pizza had a great layer of prosciutto and arugulas. It was then too late to try any desserts, but headed for home.

    Margherita Pizza
    Sarah O.

    What a nice hidden gem. A friend and I are in search of best pizza joint and this came up on our search. Sizes were just right, and the crust was nice and crisp! We shared two different pizzas and while she really likes the margherita, I liked the eggplant. They were both excellent. I would love to return! The servers were friendly and they checked up on you periodically just at the right frequency and did not rush us even though we lingered a bit to chat after we had paid the check.

    Just not at all what I expected. The gluten free pizza tasted like grainy cardboard. Service was ok, but still pretty slow.

    Pizza had good flavor but the cauliflower crust was a little soft and didn't get crispy. Besides that it was good!

    Still the best pizza, the service is good, and we enjoy Wine Wednesday, but I have to say that the music they play is awful.

    A couple of our vegetarian friends really wanted to try Planta, and so we decided to hold our…read moreFriday night date night there. (Yes, we bring friends with us on date night. We are weird.) Although my husband and I are omnivores we appreciate good plant based food, and since many had said it was good, we had high hopes. Fortunately, Planta lived up to our expectations. We made reservations, since we'd heard it can be hard to get a table. Even though it was a Friday night, we could have gotten a table. But, it was also raining so that might have contributed to lower traffic. We ended up getting a bunch of food to share: Spinach & artichoke dip Bang Bang Broccoli Thousand layer potatoes Spicy Tuna Roll Volcano Roll Red Dragon Roll Unagi Nigiri (I didn't try this one, but everyone else raved about it) My husband had the Emperor's Old Fashioned, friends had the Lych Please and the Pom and Get It. I, as designated driver, had a Cosmic Colada followed by the House Mint Lemonade (and I had a sip of the Lych Please just to taste it.) My favorites were the Bang Bang Broccoli, the Spicy Tuna Roll, and to my surprise, the Thousand Layer Potatoes. I also loved the House Mint Lemonade. The broccoli managed to not actually taste like broccoli, it tasted like Fried with Peanut Sauce. (No, there is not a missing word there. It tasted like Fried.) I usually don't get excited about potatoes unless they are twice baked or the amazing potato salad from Polka deli, but these potatoes were actually really good. Sliced, layered, not exactly crispy except on the edges, but super tasty much to my surprise. I'd actually order them again. The Spicy Tuna Roll tasted nothing like tuna, nor did it taste like watermelon per se but it was delicious. The notes of coconut probably played a role in my assessment. Folks in general were less enamored of the Volcano roll than the other dishes and I concurred. It wasn't bad, it just was lackluster compared to the others. It tasted kind of like a salad dressed with a lack of oomph. While I personally liked the spinach & artichoke dip, the folks in the party who aren't coconut-o-philes thought it had too much of a coconut taste. I've never met a coconut I didn't like though so this didn't bother me. I would order the Lych Please if I weren't driving, it was good - sweet but not too sweet. The Cosmic Colada wasn't bad but I probably wouldn't order it again either. It had less of the coconut flavor than I hoped for and a lot more just "juice" flavor. If I'm not driving next time I'll just suck down the house mint lemonades instead. All in all, it was good. I'd definitely come back and order some of these items again and hopefully try some others. I absolutely will bring my close vegan friend here next time she's in town!

My daughter has a service dog and they wouldn't let her in without documentation despite her dog's vest. Daughter had to dig through her email and produce a Dr's note. I guess they have to be careful but they have to find a way to do that that avoids guest humiliation. Another time we had reservations for Valentine's Day and they had overbooked so they turned us away at the door. Would have appreciated a phone call in advance. Left us in a tough spot with our guests, which really stung. Another time we had a fantastic waiter who made our dinner very special. So I find them undependable. That combined with their high prices keeps me mostly away.
