I started off with a Mandarin Orange - it did not have either color but still tasted refreshing. For the main dish, I went with one of their "Red Pizzas". It is called Salsiccia. It has sausage, broccoli rabe, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and garlic. I thought the pizza was delicious and enjoyed everything on it. I must have been hungry as I only left with just one slice, and I did have it the next day. My friend had a "Red Pizza" as well. Theirs was Genoa and it was with salami, roasted peppers, fresh mozzarella, and pecorino. They also enjoyed their pizza too. We were both too full to try dessert and I do love their desserts. Our server was Alyssa and she was excellent.

Al dente rigatoni and coarsely ground veal. It was all very good. The service was attentive and responsive to requests. A neighborhood gem

Abuzz with activity, the vibe was brunchy, lots of tables, but it didn't feel too tight. Once our drinks were served, our party of five became a party of six and they transitioned us easily to another table that accommodated our growing group. Our server, Leah was impeccable in every way. She was patient as we needed to move and patient as we talked incessantly while slowing fawning over the menu. She made recommendations to accommodate our numerous changes, she was just overall a great server. The food came out, hot, quick and absolutely delicious. We are a talking group, so we were there for nearly 3 hours. At the end, one of our group ordered a to-go meal and Leah once again, quickly accommodated us. As we were leaving, one of the managers agreed to take our picture in front of the restaurant, adding a nice cherry on top of already great service. No need to travel to downtown Silver Spring, Rockville or Columbia - this Olney eatery is firing on all cylinders. Thanks for a great experience Salt & Vine!

They offer indoor and outdoor dining, as well as a private room. The vibe is cool, comfy sophistication. My kind of place. Now, let's discuss the food. My date ordered the shrimp scampi, and we both found it odd that the dish wasn't served with pasta. When I think of shrimp scampi, I expect shrimp accompanied by pasta, so its absence was a surprise. I ordered the branzino, which was somewhat dry. I really wished I'd had a lemon or lime to squeeze over it. The portion size of the risotto was entirely too much, especially considering it wasn't very good. The recipe needs to be reworked, and somebody needs to taste it before it leaves the kitchen. We all know a good risotto isn't easy to execute, but that's precisely why it deserves some attention. We also found the oysters to be rather small. The drinks, however, were really tasty! I'd definitely come back because I enjoyed the ambiance, but I'd try something else on the menu. The atmosphere was lovely. The food just didn't quite measure up.

What is nice is that plant based cheese as well as sausage is available. We ordered the Ashton pizza (large). It has mushroom, red onions, green peppers and sliced tomatoes. We were able to modify it by swapping the regular mozzarella cheese with the vegan cheese. We also added vegan sausage. The substitution and addition was just a modest surcharge (we were okay with it). Pizza came with a thin and chewy crust. It was very lightly and perfectly charred. The toppings were generous but not too densely packed. The sausage was well flavored links cut into slices. The sauce was the right amount of tangy and savory. Happy with the pizza, will be back.

Really surprised by La Speranza,…read more When the waitress said the pizzas were "personal pizza" size; I assumed it's the usual, small Neapolitan style pizzas for a high price, but the pizza came out bigger than I expected. You can taste the quality of the dough and it was nice and firm, but chewy at the same time--very good! The cheese did not slide off upon picking up (had the most mid pie at Modo Mio in Arlington) and the toppings were also pretty solid. Service was not the most enthusiastic, but not the worse; I cared more for the pizza. Thought about whether this place is a 4 or 5 star and what decides that is if I'd come back and I definitely will. We'll give them a 5 star!!

Lastly, we ordered the spaghetti bolognese. It was good. But, one of our group said the sauce was not memorable. He compared it to a Mama Lucia's. The restaurant itself is clean, well organized, and comfortable. I would definitely go back for the pizza and calamari.

In December 2025, my girlfriend & I had a White Elephant holiday party my friend was hosting at lunchtime. It had been years since I went to a Mamma Lucia. I had been to the Hanover location in 2013 & Bethesda in 2016, so it had been almost 10 years since I went. I was never terribly impressed with Mamma Lucia. In 2013 I did a lunch buffet, which was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. In 2016, I had a date, and we split a pizza. Pizza was good, but again nothing to write home about. Olney location overall exceeded my more mediocre expectations. We were a separate large room from Gen Pop, which was nice. Servers were nice, but a couple times were a little slow but mostly did a good job. My girlfriend & I decided to split an entree as we had a BOGO deal only good that day we were going to do for dinner; so we didn't want to overeat. We got a seafood pasta, Seafood Asphargus, which includes some crab, shrimp, scallops, mushrooms on penne, which was excellent exceeding my expectations. The only thing was that it was a lunch sized smaller portion. We are thinking Italian are large portions. The server should've warned us, and she apologized for failing to mention this. The community bread for the table was outstanding too. Because splitting the lunch sized portion wasn't much food, we were pretty hungry at 4:30 and ultimately left our other event much earlier than anticipated, got our BOGO deal around 5 PM, and then came back over there since it was near our other event. We might've been eating dinner at 6 or 7 something if it had been splitting based on the dinner-sized portion. Overall, Mamma Lucia was more good than bad. There were close to 20 of us there. I saw some people hadn't seen in a while and met some nice people including another couple at our table, who became friends. As for the White Elephant, I did well getting an Elijah Craig Kentucky bourbon whiskey. We had a glass on new years. I enjoyed, my g/f didn't like; we doctored hers up to make better for her. I don't think that much at home; so 6 months later I still have half of it left.

I shared an eggplant parm and spaghetti and meatballs with a friend. Unfortunately, our experience / opinion on their other food was not as strong.

We ordered our pizza and drinks and luckily we were able to find a table in the busy busy Friday evening! They had a band playing which was rather loud and probably why it was such a busy night. The white peach sangria was nothing to rave about! We ordered the pizza with half cheese and half mushrooms, but instead they put the mushrooms on the whole pizza. I'm not a fan of mushrooms at all, but my date was so it was just kind of annoying to pick each and every shroom off of my slices. They also got rid of their Burrata pizza which I thought was probably one of their best pizzas.

This was one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I've had in a long time…read more We visited on the Fourth of July and, surprisingly, we were the only customers there. We had brought a couple of small snacks, not realizing that outside food isn't allowed. We completely understand that businesses have policies like this, and if it had simply been explained politely, we would have immediately put the food away without any issue. Instead, the manager, Angel, approached us with an unnecessarily rude and confrontational attitude. What should have been a simple, friendly conversation turned into an uncomfortable interaction. Even after we acknowledged the policy, the rude behavior continued, making us feel like we were inconveniencing her by simply being there. There's a big difference between enforcing a rule and treating paying customers with disrespect. The policy wasn't the problem othe way it was handled was. Hospitality is about making people feel welcome, especially when they're willing to comply after an honest mistake. Unfortunately, this experience ensured we won't be returning, and it's hard to recommend a place where customer service is treated as an afterthought.

Service: Upon entering, no one was at the counter which I thought was odd. Fortunately I saw a bell at the counter and rang it. A gentleman came out and greeted me. I asked his recommendation as I was wavering between the wings and cheesesteak. He informed me they are known for their wings. I was told that it would take 20 minutes to cook. When it was ready, I picked it up at the counter. While eating, the staff member asked how everything was and I raved how great the wings were.

That time finally happened when I had some time to pass before the event started. When I walked in, I was the only one inside and they were two tables with four seats each and a bench. When I looked at the menu I realized that they had the typical Pizza take out options, but also a bunch of South Asian options. I saw momos. I LOVE momos!!! And, even though it's not on the menu, there is a sign in their window that says you can get a slice of either cheese or pepperoni. PERFECT. So I got a slice of cheese and an order of chicken momos. They said it would take 10 to 15 minutes, but it actually took a little longer... Maybe 20? I stepped out and took a walk around the building. Everything was ready, and I grabbed it, along with a bottle of water, and dove right in. The pizza was piping hot, so I went to momos first. 10 come in an order with a sauce in the middle... My sample size is fairly low, but to me these momos were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic, flavorful and all, especially with the sauce. The pizza... for $5, quite average man. I didn't see any Red pepper or other usual Pizza fixings around. Usually one doesn't have to ask and they might have had them, but I didn't inquire. I really didn't love the pizza, honestly. But if the momos are an indication of the other South Asian options they have, I need to work my way through that side of the menu. And I shall!
