Antonio Lombardi, Chef-Owner, is from Rome. My wife and I both find his cuisine is equal to the best we found during our visit to Rome. The side order pasta and olive oil must be sampled no matter which entree you order. We have enjoyed each and every one

Our first time their. A charming setting. Thought we were in Rome. Waiter was so great and friendly. Quiet enough for easy conversation. So unusual to find that today. Food was outstanding. Each dish custom made and served well presented. Try the eggplant and mozzarella appetizer. Nice pasta sauce and pasta done just right. One of us had the fish special which was soo good.Prices are quite reasonable.Nice wine selection as long as the county makes their deliveries (so sad to have the county in the wine business).All-in-all, we'll be back.

My wife and I arrived for our reservation at 5:00 pm. The restaurant was average in decor and clean. Bread, olive oil, parmesan cheese and patties of butter were put on the table as we anticipated our entrees. My wife had baked ziti which was average. I had lemon chicken piccata. It also was average. The restroom was clean. The cost was as most Italian restaurants have. Both of us were satisfied with the food and service.

For our Saturday lunch, we decided to try dining at the new Colombian restaurant recommended by a family friend. It has small eating area and a retail store inside. All the seats were taken so we left and look for our Option B!Option B is a Filipino restaurant located in the same Shopping Center. It offers buffet lunch. It was crowded as well so we went to our Option C, this restaurant.We ordered calamari for our appetizer, Pasta Carbonara and Grilled Veal for our entrees. Total of these foods, desserts and drinks is $72 plus tip. We were served FREE home made bread while waiting for our foods.Both our entrees were tasty and seasoned well. The Veal steak was very tender, we used its sauce to dip the meats. Serving sizes were huge, took home our leftover foods and had them for dinner.Servers - 2 servers waited on us. The Male Server had a hard time understanding my request for tap water without ice. It's good the friendly Female Server took over and she gave us our requested items.Will definitely eat here again!

This is my second time here, two of us, married ladies, meeting for dinner. From the spotless white tablecoths to the lovely professional service, Il Pizzico had me. And then the food! And wine! Sean(Shawn) was our very attentive but very discreet server. We were treated as if we were royalty. Never rushed, always anticipating our needs before even asking. No wonder it is rated #1 in Rockville.

HH is when you casually sample an eatery's kitchen's culinary skills and decide whether you should return for the regular menu. I don't think we would, though I had an excellent lunch buffet 15 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.The mussel is done so poorly, almost didn't want to finish it, there is no flavor in the soup. The fried calamari is even worse, usually dipping sauces make you want to eat more, not in this case. I have never had "bad" calamari anywhere, this is a first. The eggplant rollatini is forgettable though it sounded promising. We tasted less than half of it and took the rest home for the puppy, he'll eat anything.It was busy and everyone else seems to enjoy their meal. So it could just be us. When you order 3 appetizers and none of them enjoyable, guess there is no returning for more.

Mythos is an experience. The owner is a bit forward but elevates a meal into a memorable experience. She is direct, full of stories and spit on with food and wine recommendations. Stuffed grape leaves and lightly fried calamari with jalapeño dipping sauce left my wife and I wanting more, but very full and glad we decided to split a gyro with Greek potatoes and simple Greek side salad did not disappoint. We savored the meal with a glass of red wine that was a cross between a merlot and Cabernet. The grand finale was a lemon custard between filo dough with spanakopita to go.What a great meal and we look forward to visiting again during our next visit.
