We really enjoyed our traditional Italian meal here and found the food to be incredibly tasty while the staff were warm and friendly. We like how this particular location is not as busy as the one in Potomac, which can often attract large crowds of children. Our meal was so delicious, we really wish something like this existed back in our hometown of Denver. The dining room was very pleasant and played Frank Sinatra at just the right volume. read more

We were a group of 5 today and came during lunch on a Friday, we were greeted immediately and seated. There was one other table when we arrived and a table of 3 joined later, so 3 tables, this is important because service was slllloooww, from getting the menus, to the food, to even paying. We all commented we couldn't come here during a work lunch again. The food itself tasted good, the pizza size is good even the 10", the pasta dish was a little small. My biggest gripe was how oily the food is, this picture is from 1/2 of my past dish and there was still more in the container. read more

My disappointment is that chicken picada offered little pasta with chicken... lots of juice. Other than that all went well.

I'm sorry but $17 for this hot Italian sub is robbery. You're better off going to Jimmy John's. I guess it's my fault for ordering a sub here on my lunch break but they should not be charging that much for something this sad. The quality was not good at all, It tasted like something you'd get at the grab n go section of a school cafeteria that is struggling with funding. If you want a real good hot Italian sub go to DuPont Market on 18th st. For $14 you get yourself a real good quality sub that's a bigger portion and cheaper than this one. Sorry Gregorio but you need to take sandwiches off your menu if they're gonna be this low quality. Get something else at Gregorio's. I know I will if I ever decide to give this place another chance. read more

Gregorio's Trattoria - Hot Italian Sub - Italian Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

This place has wonderful food and is very spacious with a great vibe. When we came in, we were seated promptly at a table of our choice. The issue was that we weren't waited on for a while, not even given water. We had to ask passing waiters for our beverages and then our food. It seemed like they had a couple large tables that may have been demanding. Once we received the food, it was wonderful. My friends and I shared the bruschetta and mussels. I got the baked ziti and my friends got a seafood pasta and lamb chops. I would definitely give this place another chance to see if the service was situational or not. read more

Very good food. Service can be "spotty".Bread is not up to usual bread at Italian restaurants.Hkwever excellent pizza, salads and linguine.

Rather medicre Italian restaurant with traditional menu and weak wine list. Waitstaff could use more training. My salmon with clam sauce came with an overly creamy pasta sauce with few clams visible. Salmon was good. read more

We were greeted and sat pretty quickly however the host sat us in a booth that was directly next to a table when there were a lot of seats opened so i asked if it was possible to sit at a one of the booths on either side. he sighed rolled his eyes and just moved us without saying a word... rude. the Ravioli Di Gregorio was so creamy and cheesy and delicious. i loved the seafood in it and used the breadsticks to dip it in the sauce. the frutti di mare was okay, the sauce was super watery. however it came with lots of seafood so it doesn't lose all its points. they have outdoor seating that would have been perfect for a chilly night as they have electric heaters outside. each dish was about $32, a little bit on the pricey side but i would come back maybe to share one with someone because they came with a big portions. read more

My wife and I had dinner at the Bethesda location. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre. The breadsticks were chewy and tasteless. I had Frutti Di Mare, and she had Eggplant Parmigiana. While the portions were large, our food was just plain; the spaghetti was overcooked. Nothing to rave about. We would rate it 5 out of 10. We will not visit this restaurant again. read more

Decent but not great. I had the chicken toscana special which was really good. Huge portion. Zucchini appetizer was tasty but for $13 for 5 pieces of thin zucchini, it wasn't worth it. Pizza bland, nothing special. Restaurant nearly empty and still we had slow inattentive service. read more

Another 3.5 for me. Met a friend here for a quiet lunch over the Thanksgiving weekend. Wasn't very busy at all, so we were able to catch up without rushing! I ordered some garlic bread to start, along with an extra large pizza with mushrooms and bell peppers. Good all the way around, not the best I ever had. Service was prompt and efficient, no complaints there. Because this good friend lives nearby, I'd likely come again, otherwise, nothing here I couldn't get somewhere else. read more

Gregorio's Trattoria - Extra large pizza with mushrooms and bell peppers - Italian Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

My wife and I like to do date nights at home after the kids go to bed. It started with Rose's at Home during the pandemic, but we've now expanded to having even just a dessert just to us without having to get a sitter and go out. We're frequently looking for new places to pick up a meal or dessert that we can easily have at home after the kids go to bed. With that in mind, we were pretty excited to try the tiramisu and cannoli from Gregorio's. The good news was that it was easy to order, only a few minutes away and only $20 for the two desserts with tax and tip. The actual desserts were less impressive. The cannoli was the better of the two and quite good even if the shell was a bit thicker than I would have chosen. The tiramisu was disappointing. There was almost no discrenable coffee flavor and I'm pretty sure no cocoa whatsoever. So, it was mostly just a sweet, thick pudding with lady fingers in it. read more

Generally, Italian American cuisine is pretty basic as a rule. If you assume they all are as bland as Olive Garden, you won't be disappointed. With this attitude, we went into Gregorio's and we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was! The service was very friendly and attentive. We had the (not real name) Lemon Chicken and Spaghetti Ragu. Huge portions and both had a depth of flavor that you don't anticipate at a place like this. I would totally get these again! The free bread was a mix of soft bread sticks and these amazing garlic bread knots. Those knots were addictive, so much so that my wife and I had an argument over who ate more... My only gripe is that the house red is a $16 glass of Chianti. While a decent wine, that was a tad higher priced than expected for a house red. I also would have liked there to be a drinks/wine menu on the table. I assume they have them, but it would be nice to have table side from the beginning. Overall, I was very happy here and can't wait to return the next time we are in the area. read more

I've tried this place a few times, in part due to location, in part because I keep wondering if I just didn't order right or if I just had a bad day. But after being largely 0 for 3, I have to say this place just doesn't live up by any means close to the 4.5 rating it somehow has on Yelp. The pastas don't have much flavor and seem like they've just been mixed with the sauce from a jar at the last second like at Sbarro's. The pizzas taste like frozen pizza from a grocery store. The minestrone is ok but no better than canned. The only thing I've enjoyed here is the grilled salmon salad. That was well executed, crisp on the outside, and fresh. For kids I will say it's nice that they give them dough to play with while they wait. Also the garlic bread to start is ok, and the meatball app is fine but again, nothing special. Service is fine, but given the subpar pastas and pizzas we won't be back. read more

Lunch, today. VERY few patrons (maybe 6), yet slow service and no receptionist. Seated selves in the bar area and waited...... Slow to take orders, obtain water, set-up's, etc. Server eventually offered to bring us breadsticks as we waited. Great! Stale. Food arrived. Italian panini sandwich was neither panini, nor remarkable. On the prt with Subway, but at 3x, the price point. My chicken wings were fine....not noteworthy. Calamari was a totally different story......not edible. Tasted of old grease/fry compound. Server did not check on us during our meal, such that at meal's end, the calamari was waiting for him on the plate. He made no inquiry as to our satisfaction, etc. and proceeded to present our bill. Had to ask for the mgr who quickly did the right thing and took it off our bill. Thanks! In all, a marginal dining experience. Their sister restaurant in North Bethesda is markedly better.......Sangamore site needs to buff up, a bit. read more

Superb ! Best calamari ever, very tasty. Pepperoni pizza was excellent, first bite till last. My bride had the shrimp scampi and it did not disappoint--huge portion and outstandingly delicious. And the canola and tiramisu were both outstanding Service was very friendly and attentive. And of course the bread was very fresh, hot and just like Rome. Can't wait to come back ! read more

Catered Affair: Prompt arrival, lovely presentation and delicious food. Would definitely recommend Gregorios Trattoria, Bethesda MD. read more

The food is good, but at least if you're getting pickup / delivery, you need to know that it's slooooooooooow. Three examples: 1) I recently ordered delivery of a pizza and two kids meals on a Sunday night. I'm just 8 minutes from the restaurant. It took 100 minutes to arrive. 2) Another time, I went to the restaurant to pickup a pizza and fries. They told me that the order wasn't ready, and that if I sat at the bar they'd tell me when it came out. Only problem was, they never told me. Finally, I checked what was going on, and it turns out they had forgotten to let me know the food was done. 3) They run the concession stand at AU basketball games. They only sell two items - chicken fingers and pizza - so you'd think it would super fast. Nope. I waited in line for a whole hour. read more

They have FANTASTIC pizza and delicious meals. Only one minor complaint. The bread they serve is mediocre, which is unheard of for an Italian restaurant. read more

I've been here 2x and it's been yummy each time. Their Alfredo is delicious. We always get the bruschetta and breadsticks to share. I will say the gelato was very disappointing in flavor and texture, and the service isn't always great. But we go back for the good price and large servings of yummy pasta! read more

Portions seem to be smaller. Taste of pasta dish was ok. Not as flavorful as before, seemed like a different cook. Too much cream in sauce. Stated on to pick up until 7:30; however was ready by 7. When I got there the food was on shelf. Need to do a better job of updating system for online pick up. read more

We came by for lunch after visiting Suburban Hospital. Fast service and HUGE portions. Our servers are so nice, he actually split the plate for me and my friend free of charge. The bar area was actually crowded even around 2pm, probably because the place is very cozy. Will come back to check out their dinner service! read more

This was a truly delightful experience. The food was exquisite perfectly done. The calamari were light and crisp. The veal medallions were delicately flavored with capers, and the pear salad was delicious. The service was perfect, the noise level low. I have passed this restaurant so many times and never imagined that it could be so good. read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! From the wine, to the Rigatoni, to the Chocolate Cake and Stratellia ice cream this place is 10'stars! read more

The food was wonderful! Everything we had, pasta, pizza, salad, dessert-all of it reminded us of our honeymoon to Italy. The one downside is how close the tables are to one another. The party next to us was loud, and it was difficult for us to hear one another over their conversation. read more

Gregorio's Trattoria - Baked Ziti - Italian Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Once again a good pizza. I have some issues with ordering online but was easily resolved.

3-star food/service/ambience with 5-star prices. Chicken marsala was very good (8/10). Everything else was 5/10, including the caesar salad (better dressing/croutons from the supermarket), marinara (too sweet), $31 veal parm (sent it back), tiramisu (skimped on the marsala). Portions were large - so if you want quantity and not quality then you might actually like this place. Then again you could just go to Olive Garden and save $$. read more

Top notch food in serving, preparation, presentation. Extremely friendly and attentive staff. Wide menu. Nice friendly small bar area. But somewhat expensive. Yet I do not feel cheated since I get full satisfaction from the experience. read more

Ok so, I really, really liked this joint. Something about it feels very, 'we all have worked here forever and all the staff is family.' From an ambiance standpoint, it was a little off putting when busy. I was sitting in a booth that was the length of the entire side wall and so when it got busy, all the strangers got snuggly and I'm still in covid mode, get away from me. Lol I had a bunch of loud kids on both sides of my friend and I's table. It was annoying to say the least. The service and staff was *chefs kiss*. WILLIAM is the standout and was an excellent waiter/ bartender. Very attentive, kind, friendly and joking nature, all great things. Our food came fast and was DELICIOUS. I filled up on the complimentary garlic knot bread thingys lol... they were comfort food heaven. I ordered the baked Ziti and they added sausage for me which was nice. It didn't come with it. My friend got a personal pizza AND the fettuccine Alfredo because ol girl can eat, and she said both were very good. The $5 additional dollars to add chicken to an already 18.00 dish was a bit more than hoped but, meh... what are you gonna do? My friend had a cannoli for dessert and I had a drink with smoked maple, something something bacon... basically a lil sweeter than an old fashioned and it was decent. Overall, I'd definitely come again... repeatedly. Prices are decent, portions are OUT OF CONTROL, so you feel you get your money's worth and the food is very good. Better lighting and booth dividers would make this mom and pop tier TOP! 4/5 "lose the gun, take the cannoli stars." read more

HORRIBLE this worker charged us for a medium pizza and then gave us a small. It sucks horrible service and she didn't even give us compensation read more

The food is delicious!! We had my daughter's bday dinner here... ordered apps; calamari and mozzarella friti, entrees: braised short rib, seafood ravioli, salmon rose and fettuccini Alfredo with grilled chicken, plus desserts; gelato and cheesecake. Standouts were: The calamari was some of the best I've ever had, crispy and flavorful with no visible grease, braised short rib on top of risotto.... Whoa. It was perfectly cooked, flavorful with one of the loveliest sauces I've tasted. Salmon was cooked a stellar medium rare with pasta in a rose sauce, broccolini was undercooked, however. This place is amazing. Servers were friendly and attentive, place is clean and lively, GO! It's a wonderful place to grab dinner. read more

Service with a smile. They know service at Gregorio's. I always get pepperoni pizza and the arugula salad. My favorite is to get the dressing on the side and put some of the arugula on my pizza. read more

Went with my family this past Saturday and enjoyed every moment of my time there. The service was quick and extremely friendly. Drinks came out very fast too (granted, there weren't many people there at the time we went). The food was delicious and portions are generous so be prepared to eat! We got the calamari which was actually legit calamari and not just a few fried pieces of seafood. A personal pizza to share amongst the four of us which we only had one slice of each (but was delicious. I ate the remaining two slices the next day). And we all got our own dinner entrees. The rigatoni pasta was over cooked but because the sauce and sausage was so delicious I didn't mind. Their vodka martini was pretty strong so if you're planning on drinking I highly suggest you get your fill in here. Just make sure to have someone else drive because just like their food, their drinks are satisfying :) read more
