"Good Italian food, lots of pasta. I hoped for grilled chicken with my pasta, but it was cut up into small pieces & difficult to find IN the pasta. The eggplant parmesan got high revues from everyone. Good Margaritas & martinis, nice wine menu. The atmosphere was the best. It's an upbeat, friendly place to be. Good warm bread served with olive oil & balsamic. Great service even on a busy Sat. night. Affordable prices for lots of pasta."

"Great food and service as stated by many other reviews. My colleague has been eating at the Bethesda location for many, many years and he highly recommended this place. I will be back for my birthday next week."

"Excellent lasagna bolognese; fine mussels in white wine; best minestrone I've had in a long while. Will definitely return and try more items on the menu."

"This is the 2nd time we have dined at Olazzo's and both times have been very good. I had the eggplant aglio olio which was outstanding. The pasta dishes are also very tasty and everything is reasonably priced. We were 5 people and had 2 bottles of wine and bill was less than $200..."

"After meeting on e-Harmony, my husband and I had our first date at Olazzo. The atmosphere, the wine, and the food made the evening magical. When possible, the wonderful staff accommodates our request for "our table" for our frequent return visits. Everything at Olazzo is delicious and graciously served - no less romantic now that we're married!"

"Dimly-lit can sometimes be poorly-lit, and Olazzo is definitely poorly-lit. Romantic tables means sitting closer together, not farther away; no matter how nice the wood of the table is I would have been happier being closer to my date. Music should be soft, but that doesn't mean it should be music to smoke up to. And finally, pasta basics should be as wowing as daily specials; in Olazzo's case, they are not."

"There were 10 of us celebrating my husband's 60th birthday. We had a nice table in the back & our waitresses were great. Thanks for accommodating us!"

"The food was pretty good. Nothing amazing, but nothing bad either. The calamari appetizer wasn't very good, but the rest of the food was good. I guess I would recommend, but I probably wouldn't go back. Too many options in the DC metro area."

"I had a awesome time with my date. It was very romantic how each table had candles to set the mood. The food was great. The upstairs looked exactly like a courtyard in Italy which made the dinner great. Good atmosphere, service was good, and loved the cheesecake. Definitely coming back real soon."

"We chose Olazzo because of proximity to a show at the Performing Arts Center. We came from Baltimore and the other 4 in our party from Philadelphia. Most of all we appreciated the warm reception we had by the restaurant and their accommodation of our different arrival times. We had great appetizers waiting for the others and our waitress always checked with us to be sure we were satisfied. Food was tasty and prompt. It is clearly the local's choice and the atmosphere became festive as the evening went on. We would go there again."
