I've been dining at the Pines since the early 80s, at their old location on Hampden Lane. I don't get to Bethesda often but decided to grab an early dinner at their new location of 5 years on Cordell Avenue, my first visit there. Although they're in a new and larger space, the menu, atmosphere and delicious, traditional cooking remains as good as ever. I started with their famous white pizza with fontina and my main was veal parmesan (don't @ me!). Delizioso! Can't wait to go back.
Terrific restaurant I've been coming here for years, their staff are so friendly, food is very fresh. I wish they had better food containers for take out it doesn't seal well the box was full of liquids. Overall food is great! Love their pastas and tried their whole fish branzino tonight i like that they spruce it up with chopped garlic and herbs. Everything I've tried is good!
Food seemed ok. The waiter could not understand English very well. It was hard to communicate our order.
Mr Marco has been in business for the last 40 years, and he still runs the place under his strict supervision; as a result derive is fast, and food is delicious!
You should try the white fontina cheese pizza, no other place makes it like the Latino guys there
I came to the Pines of Rome quite often with my family as a kid but it has been about 10-12 years since my last meal here (old location). But let me tell you what, the quality has NOT changed. I was so excited to go with some cousins and a few days later I’m still thinking about it.
This has to be a top contender for Italian cuisine in the DMV area. Very simple atmosphere but top notch! Our appetizers were killer and the eggplant parm was rockin!
Thank you for keeping up your quality and product. I wish to be back soon!
It's a restaurant l have been going to from a very young age. The food is always fresh and l have never had a bad meal. This is white pizza and chicken parm. But everything is great.
This is a charming Italian restaurant with yummy food that is obviously prepared with love. The service is a little on the rushed side, but we still got a free dessert out of the blue, which was a nice touch.
The inside is dated, but kind of cozy in a "been here 30 years we're not changing" kind of way - e.g, burnt out bulbs, mismatched decor, and scruffy furniture. I personally thought it was fun. The marinara sauce is divine and used in a variety of dishes. The bread is also next level. I hope these types of restaurants never go away.
good food, great wine and great friends. make this restaurant fun but our weight stuff, Luiz, made the evening smooth-flowing and much happiness around the table. The food here is great and I'm so glad I was taking care of at this delicious Italian restaurant. I will return because I can get authentic food that tastes great and a good location with excellent and professional waitstaff.
Great place for simple, family-style atmosphere. Service is amazing and food is guaranteed to be good. Varieties of yummy specials among appetizers and entrees. Perfect place for a couple or a large family to experience friendliness and simplicity of an Italian trattoria.
Extremely good Italian food! Even doing takeout. The White Pizza is a favorite of mine and of many people I know.
