Having traveled and dined across the globe, I did not expect homemade pasta, fresh espresso, and Neapolitan style pizza to be in Rockville MD. If you live within an hour drive, just take the trip and have lunch or dinner here. Try the espresso martini! I shared a cheese pizza with my daughter, my mother had the chicken piccata, my cousin the gnocchi, my father the chicken parm, my cousin had a caprese salad and the further seats I couldn't see. We all shared a few orders of the calamari. EVERYONE raved about how delicious their food was. I agree. Probably the best piccata I've tasted. The pizza was excellent. The tiramisu great. The pistachio gelato was perfect. I sure wish they were closer to Florida!! So good.

The biggest hit for me was the suppli appetizer. These are absolutely delicious and vegetarian friendly! Similar to arancini but somehow even more delicious. These are a must-order. I had the pasta alla vongole and a bite of my husband's chicken parmigiana. Our friend had mushroom ravioli that she loved, but I didn't try as I don't care for mushrooms. I've been on a clams and garlic kick lately for some reason and the vongole comes with these and bonus bacon. I would have preferred the bacon a tad crispier, but that is personal preference. I'd give this dish 4* - I would get it again but after trying some others. From the one bite the chicken parmigiana was a 5*. Their marinara is very good and the linguine in both our dishes tastes freshly made. We all split the chocolate temptation dessert and I ate more of it than I expected to, it is chocolate mousse adjacent cake with ganache frosting, very light, perfectly sweet. Often I find chocolate desserts too much after a big meal but this one wasn't heavy at all. 5* My friend ordered sangria which she thought was more like a wine cooler; too sweet for her French oenophile sensibilities and a bit lighter than a sangria usually is, but I am a pleb who loves sweet drinks and I would order it. If you are a sangria purist you might not care for it. Hubs enjoyed his old fashioned but said it needed a dash more bitters to be perfect. I was driving so enjoyed a non-dirty Shirley. Prices to me are reasonable for quality and portion size; our tab ended up high because of the appetizer, drinks and dessert but if you just had pizza or pasta with soda it would be pretty affordable. I will be back to get more suppli and try other dishes!

If you're looking for a dine-in experience, then my rating would drop to about three stars. There are only 5 cold metal hightop stools and a narrow counter to eat on.

Two cans of soda plus two slices of pizza came to roughly $17.

Good robust sauce, light and non-doughy crust, my only quibble is that I only like black olives and they gave me kalamata.

So when I return I need to remember to not order olives. We ate the first slice onsite so we could fairly judge it hot, then drove home (currently over 30 minutes).

3.12.25 I had a…read moreClipp deal (similar to Groupon) for 20 worth of dining for only $6. I purchased an 8" Italian sub, old bay fries, and a cannoli. The Italian sub could've used a bit more seasoning and I would've preferred more oil and vinegar. I likely should've asked for the extras to be added so that's on me. The fries were good and crispy however, I should've asked for the old bay on the side so that I could put it on to my liking. It was a bit too much for me. My favorite of the three was the cannoli which was simply perfection. The employee who took my order at the counter was very friendly, although she used terms like sweetie and honey to all the patrons. Personally, I didn't care for any of those terms. Most patrons took food to go, although there are tables for dine in. Aside from the deli, they also sell prepackaged Italian goods in the deli. The shopping center where it is located in is hard to get in and out due to being located at a busy intersection. They do deliveries and also catering.

But opening the pizza made me think it had been eaten because every slice was wholly detached & slid around inside the pizza box like pieces of wood.

Not a good meal at all.

The service here was good for how busy it was. FYI Mon and Tue are half price pizza so they get real busy. The place has local vibes with a small bar and homey restaurant feel. A true neighborhood joint. Always love supporting local business. The only thing that can be a headache is the parking, the lot is small when they are busy and the overflow in the metro lot next door is annoying but I'd say it's worth it for the pizza. Delicious food, would recommend and will definitely be back.

Ordered online last night and picked up a medium veggie pizza (thin crust) and a chopped salad…read more There was a place on the app to request that the chopped salad be completely chopped (which I thought was odd, but I checked it) and for dressing on the side. On my drive over to pick up the food, I got a call from Paisano's confirming that I wanted the dressing on the side. When I arrived, I felt welcomed as a customer. They were packing up my food and it was a quick pick-up process. The pizza is tasty. There's a good amount of veggies (a lot of black olives - so be aware if that's not your thing). The pizza sauce is flavorful and there's a good amount of sauce on each slice. The chopped salad is very tasty. I think having it completely chopped might have been a mistake. The pepperocini peppers chopped throughout the salad gave each forkful a pronounced pepper flavor. I liked it personally, but it made the entire salad one-note in flavor. And the dressing would have been overpowered by the pepper flavor, so we didn't use it.

Mother's Day brunch was unfortunately a disappointment. With late planning about a week beforehand,…read morewe were happy to even secure a reservation for 9 people at 10 a.m. One guest wasn't feeling well, so our final party was 8. We also had a super senior with us, so getting everyone seated took a little extra time, and we were finally settled by about 10:15. From there, things went downhill service-wise. We waited and waited for a server and had to ask multiple employees walking by if someone could help us. Finally, around 10:50, Giovanni came to take our order. While he was taking it, another customer interrupted him to complain that although she had received her food, her children still hadn't gotten their drinks. He attempted to assist her, and we expressed our frustration at being interrupted after already waiting so long. To his credit, he asked someone else to help her. The restaurant itself has a cozy layout with several different sections, and I really wanted to like the place since I pass it often but had never stopped in before. Because it was Mother's Day, we tried not to let the delays ruin our time together, but the service was honestly unacceptable for such a special occasion. As for the food: - Shrimp & grits (2 orders): 4/5 The flavor was very good, the grits were creamy, and the turkey sausage added a nice touch. My only complaint was that some ingredients were chopped so finely that there wasn't much texture or bite. The shrimp was good/whole though. - Catfish & grits (3 orders plus an extra side of grits): 3/5 You get two large pieces of fish, which was appreciated, especially for bigger appetites. However, one person felt the batter was overly seasoned and too salty. - Chicken & waffles (2 orders): 4/5 Generous portions with four pieces of boneless chicken and four waffle sections. Definitely satisfying. We also ordered a pizza, mini sliders, biscuits, four adult beverages, and a hot tea. The total bill came to around $350 with the automatic gratuity included for a large party, which was actually reasonable for everything ordered. Overall, the food had some bright spots, but the extremely poor service overshadowed the experience. Being busy on Mother's Day is understandable, especially for a restaurant that has been around for a long time, but special occasions are exactly when service should be at its best. Sadly, we left totally disappointed. Overall rating: 2.5/5. Decent food and atmosphere couldn't make up for the long waits and poor service experience on Mother's Day.

The location is a little sneaky, being tucked away in a small lot in Rockville. You can tell this joint has been here for years, the vibe is very dive bar esque with dim lighting and a bare bones kind of menu.

The mozz sticks were a little cold on the inside. The chicken fingers were good and the fries here are beer battered and so crispy & flavorful. They have a heavy pour here, you definitely get your moneys worth! The bartenders and waitresses were super friendly and made sure to round on us frequently! The bar is full of regulars and the bathroom is very clean. I would definitely come back and I recommend coming to Jonathan's if you're looking for a laid back place for a quick drink & snack.
