Really good food for good prices. Ok ambiance– plastic table clothes so more casual. Recommend for the food!

Superb food and service, this family owned and operated restaurant also offers very moderate pricing. Our family has returned many times.

I have to say: it was our first time there and the food was outstanding… I didn’t get quite what I ordered, but it was outstanding just the same… Excellent group of people working there! AND the pricing was unusually affordable!!!

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is cozy and wonderful. We’ve been a couple of times and I can’t wait to go back. The lasagna is meaty, cheesy, and really flavorful. The chicken parmesan is great and so is the fettuccine alfredo. The mushroom ravioli is delicious. We had fantastic service and it was the perfect place to go for a birthday date. The cost of the restaurant is really reasonable too. We were surprised by our low total and I had lots of leftovers!

The best Italian restaurant in montgomey county! I love there veal marsala with mushrooms. The price is about the same as mama Lucia but the food is so much better; so it’s a better value. There cannoli’s are expensive but we’ll worth it!

This place is a hidden gem. We went as a foursome and had the Linguine Gamberi, Linguine Pescatori, Spaghetti and 3 giant meatballs and the Biscotti special(Lasagna and Chicken Parmasagna). We started with sautéed calamari(find that somewhere!). Everything was awesome and the wine was VERY well priced($ 14 for a half-carafe of Montepulciano). Very quite, very well priced. We WILL be back. Not what you expect for a strip mall, so don’t be fooled. There are only about 12 tables in the place though, so as it gets more reviews, it may fill up quickly!

My mother was turning 75 and I wanted to find a restaurant that I could host a surprise birthday dinner at. I choose Biscotti for this special event because I have always enjoyed their food and service. We had a group of 20 which dedicated about the half the restaurant size. We made plans with the locally owned family to host and decorate in my Mom’s favorite style, Leopard print of course. We decided to have the event allowing everyone to order anything off the menu rather than restricting the dishes to make it easier on the wait/cook staff. I was a bit nervous about 20 orders all going in at the same time. The result was that Biscotti nailed it! Everything turned out fantastic. The event turned out better than I could have hoped for! Thanks again to the Biscotti staff for making this special occasion so memorable.

I love this restaurant! It’s really hard to find GOOD Italian cuisine, and this is one of the best by far. Food and service consistently delivers above expectations. Try everything — seriously! :D

Bomba and Tirimitsu deserts were delicious! Service and atmosphere was relaxing. Entres were well presented and tasted delightful. Remember, save room for desert!

This place does not follow the cardinal rule of «location is everything» what with it being in a strip mall but the food, service, and prices are excellent. I have been there twice. The first time was with three friends and most recently with another friend. The comments from all were universally good. One friend called it some of the best Italian food he’d ever eaten. An out-of-town guest stopped in the middle of our fairly intense conversation and stated, «This is really good! Exceptional!» That was the salmon and pasta dish. I am very impressed with Biscotti. It is a small, intimate place with very reasonable furnishings. The service was excellent. The server knew the menu in detail and offered suggestions for dinner and even knew the wine list in detail. Prices are very good and portions are appropriate. I recommend this as a nice, reliable, intimate place that should be a regular on your list.

Bellisimo! Great little Italian restaurant with great food at reasonable prices. We had the calamari with wine and garlic as an appetizer(they also have fried), which was excellent, and lasagne, which was outstanding. A half caraffe of white zinfandel was perfect to round out the meal. And we each took home half of our meal and it was great the next day.

Another example of why Unilocal needs to add the .5 option. Definitely better than a 3, but not quite a 4. The lobster ravioli was good, I absolutely loved the sauce they used with it. The SALTIMBOCAROMANA was good. Not the best veal saltimboca that I’ve had, but still pretty solid. Ended with the tiramisu which was also great. The chicken marsala was okay. Overall a really solid place, and I feel bad giving it a 3, as it is definitely better than that, just couldn’t justify the 4. Absolutely worth a visit though!

Visited for first time Wednesday and found the ambiance charming, especially in light of it’s strip mall location. Service was to my liking with a typical neighborhood Italian menu. The prices seemed reasonable with an half carafe of Chianti $ 14 and a house salad around $ 4. The mussels in white wine had a nice garlicky taste and were under $ 10. My wife and I each finished with a pasta and both were outstanding. We’ll be back soon and if it maintains this level place it in our regular rotation

I moved around the corner from this place and decided to check it out for my birthday dinner with my dear friend. We were both so impressed with the food! We both got eggplant parm, but I got Fettuccine Alfredo(sans chicken) instead of spaghetti. The entire meal was delicious! The sauce was on point. Above and beyond any expectations I might have had. The one star deduction is for two reasons: first, my friend thought the service wasn’t friendly enough. I actually liked that they kept it brief and to the point(she enjoys to engage in menial chitchat more than I do). Secondly, I would have enjoyed a smoothie, but would have taken Dr. Pepper as a close second. Maybe a strawberry lemonade. No go. They have plenty of beer and wine, but not much else. I ended up having water, but a fun drink would have made my visit a perfect one. We enjoyed their unique spread that came with the bread. It consisted of crushed olives, with garlic and parm cheese. We also requested olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette to dip it in. Fantastic! The best part of all was the dessert. I had the bomba, a yummy sorbet with white chocolate. My friend loved her bread pudding. I plan on returning!

Biscotti is a neighborhood treat. Tucked away into the Red Mill Shopping Center, it offers extremely reasonable and quality Italian food. I would recommend any of the chicken dishes or pastas, especially the Chicken Alfredo. — Consistently delicious food, well portioned — Excellent service(Elizabeth & Z are extremely attentive and kind) — Quiet, quaint atmosphere — nice for a quick meal with good company I have been coming here for several years and hope others will support this establishment and the wonderful Derwood community.

My family and I have been coming here for years. The food is consistently good and the service is friendly and efficient. Some of our favorites: — Biscotti Salad: fresh with a really good balsamic vinaigrette — Spaghetti with meatballs: my daughter loves this dish and orders it every time. If we ever have Italian outside of the area, she will order the standard and say ‘good but not as good as Biscotti’s’. — Penne Alla Vodka: succulent chunks of salmon with spinach, tomatoes, creamy vodka over tender penne pasta. Really tasty! — Linguini Pescatore: shrimp, mussels, and calamari with marinara over linguine. Seafood is cooked perfectly and goes well with their awesome marinara. — Daily Specials: always good, especially the seafood specials. Fish is always done just right, usually with a nice sauce and vegetables that are cooked perfectly(not over cooked) — Tiramisu: excellent ending to the meal if you have room If you come in before 6 pm, they have early bird specials that comes with a salad and a bargain dessert and coffee add-on option.

I can’t believe I haven’t given this place a reveiw! I came here two years ago when I had just gotten here and was new to area! Biscotti back then was ur second alternative to il pizzico if u were going crazy to have some pistachio ravioli ! The first two times it was actually pretty nice and almost better than il pizzicos apart from the crunch factor that il pizzico has! Everything was good we tried a number of dishes some good some bad but the service was always up and down. It seemed like they had too much of their own troubles to keep up with the service. The last time my husband insisted we go here and oh what a disaster! Pistachio sauce ravioli tasted disgusting, old and just like it was a few days old and had canned ingredients Had a spinach and red sauce kind of ravioli which was a huge disaster I could taste the metallic canned tomato taste and I returned it Then we tried the salmon penne in rose sauce(I think) they didn’t bother draining the penne and so the salmon was terrible and the pasta was sickening No wonder they closed down !

Now that I’ve discovered this little gem of an Italian restaurant hidden in a strip mall that’s under construction in Derwood, I learned that it’s closing — after nine years — on August 24 because of leasing issues. The service and food were very good. We had the calamari fritti, eggplant parmigiana, spaghetti Bolognese, and salmone guarnito. The desserts that we enjoyed, tiramisu and budino di pane were legit. Many who were leaving inquired when and where they will re-open. Hopefully they’ll find a place soon. It’s pretty apparent that Biscotti’s is loved by the locals. 4.5 stars!

I was looking for a place to go to when visiting family in Gaithersburg that wasn’t fast food or sandwiches. A simple meal of protein and vegetables that was healthy and not a wallet breaker. Wow, this place has fantastic food. So well hidden in the plainest of strip malls. The chef here is fantastic, the servers are efficient, friendly but not intrusive. Highlights: –Tilapia, not previously frozen, lightly lemoned and I’d guess pan-fried because of the delicious slightly-crunchy edge of lemon. –Manicotti, perfectly executed with a sauce and filling that was light and flavorful. I don’t make my own pasta, but I do believe they do. –Chicken parmesan, juicy and crunchy and wonderful topping. –Olive tapenade spread for the bread The 10 year old child with us seems to subsist on candy. Imagine our surprise to see her eagerly finish a dish of Tilapia and a bowl of minestrone.

On the recommendation of another fabulous Unilocaler, I found myself at the quaint little Italian restaurant known as Biscotti Ristorante. Actually, I found myself standing outside because the hours are very unique(check them out before you go). But, once I got in — I decided to indulge in a grab and go of one of my favorite Italian classics: Penne Alla Vodka. That’s right; I like the sauce in my sauce. Man did that baby perfume my car on the way home. I got home to find a large portion of pasta with what looked to be salmon chunks. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen salmon prepared that way, but after one bite, I was not complaining. The salmon was tender flaky and perfectly cooked. The sauce was rich and the whole balance of the dish was Italian perfection. I wouldn’t hesitate a second to go back to that unassuming strip mall. I guarantee you– if it were not for that review on Unilocal,I would not have eaten there. It’s one of those classic, «Don’t judge a book by it’s cover» moments. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes. They have an early bird menu(which is dine-in only), and wine night on Tuesdays. Heeeyyyyy!
