I went with friends to Olazzo last night and I really enjoyed my time there. Not only the prices are just great , but the plates are big and delicious. For the price of the entree you get bread and salad too. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken Milanese and it was unbelievable. The french martini was awesome too.... more

Only being in Bethesda a short time I tried this restaurant with a co-worker and LOVED it. The food was delicious (I got the pasta primavera) full of fresh veggies cooked perfectly and the martinis were wonderful. I highly recommend the Olazzo martini, it's different from your standard martini. I went back the very next week for their Tuesday $5... more

This place serves traditional Italian food and it's pretty good. I got the eggplant parmesan and it was pretty standard. The space is really tiny with little standing room area, so hopefully you won't be waiting long. I think the best thing about this place is their extensive martini and drink menu. The drinks we got were really good. Oh... more

Lunch April 24, 2008. Wife had lasagna; I had chicken Parmesan with penne. Hers was fine with an unusual, but satisfactory, “different” taste; mine was tough, the chicken, not the penne (how do you make chicken tough?). Service was desultory at best. Since our car was on a parking meter I had my wrist watch set on elapsed time. We... more

I've eaten at Olazzo several times and never been disappointed. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is cozy. The staff is very professional and friendly. Unlike most places in Bethesda, it's not overpriced. After moving here from NYC, it's become a fav of my husband's and mine. more

Delicious Italian comfort food. Crowded but cozy, and priced just right. You get a lot of food (read: dinner plus leftovers enough for lunch the next day) for your money. Chicken cardinale is delicious. more

The only drawback for this place was that it's small. Otherwise, it was pretty good. more

We have been to many Italian restaurants in Bethesda, and usually have been disappointed, Olazzo is the exception. Great food, great service, nice atmosphere (although I could do wthout the fake fireplace) reasonably priced. Lunchtime is less crowded, but early dinner (pre 6:30) is easy to get in. Try it, you'll like it. more
