Carbonara was very good. Food came out super hot. Portions were large. Service was fast and ambiance was night, brightly lit. Good value.

Stopped by here after shopping in the area and was pleasantly surprised! We tried the Calamari, Shrimp Bada Bing (a wonderful specialty sauce), Greek Pizza, Mussels and Linguine, Shrimp and Linguine, and Seafood Asparagus pasta with pink sauce. Everything was flavorful and incredible - the pink sauce was so addicting. The dish sizes are generous and everyone was satisfied after the meal. The servers were nice and attentive and we were checked on by what seems to be the store manager - he was walking around and making friendly conversation with all of the customers. Definitely would return!

Excellent food, I had the chicken Parm! My kids had pizza and loved it! Came all the way from Detroit and the staff was super friendly and gave us great advice on how to navigate DC. Now I know why Ovi loves that chicken Parm!

One of my favorite pizza places growing up had the same name so I wondered if there was any affiliation between the two. They have many locations in Maryland but there was no connection between this one and the one I grew up on. The restaurant smelled amazing. I was greeted right away with a smile. There was room for dining in but the restaurant was already full. I ordered a slice of the barbecue chicken pizza and a slice of their white pizza. The flavor on the barbecue chicken was decent but the white pizza didn't taste like anything at all. The price point was on par with other pizza places. You can tell that the restaurant is family owned so that's a nice touch. They have many more offerings than pizza so If I do return, I would try something else.

The worse lunch ever! I mean the fries were blah but the shrimp was so trash and extremely fishy, the kind you need a double mint for. Hoping it doesn't upset my stomach. Yuck!

For the price it shouldn't look like a train hall pizza dive.Pass on the fried ricotta balls. Pizza is ok. Bruschetta was ok.

My family and I either eat at the restaurant or carry out at least once a week from Mamma Lucia Bethesda for years! We love the food and the customer service. We highly recommend!!
