We had our wedding at Cesco in June 2021 and could not have been happier. It exceeded all expectations. Elaine was a joy to work with and anticipated all our needs. She worked seamlessly with our florist. Food and service was fabulous!! It was a perfect day!!
Great atmosphere and service. Old style Italian. Tasty. Quality. Pippin' hot, but salty and sauces are heavy. Nice wine list
I ordered the lamb with veggies and lentils. The meat was perfectly cooked and the food came out in a timely fashion. I also ordered two drinks. The first was the cescopolitan which was a bit of a heavy pour and tasted more of vodka than I would have liked. Then the second drink I ordered was a margarita which was much better! It might depend on the bartender or just the drink, but the food was great!
Great Florence Italian food, unfortunately closed at the end of Feb. 2022 because of the chef's retirement.
Cesco is back in full swing. A big thanks to Raffi and Flaco for welcoming me back after such a long time with delicious food and a perfect gibson. And Trio Caliente is back playing every Friday! Come get your dancing shoes on!
Went there for Valentine's day, so it was a fixed menu. The bread wasn't the best but the food overall was pretty good. Their pasta appetizer with lobster had good flavor. The rockfish was very tasty, and the desserts were just right. It was a pricey meal, but was of good quality.
Extremely satisfied with the service and quality of food!
Called to inquire about their glutenfree (GF) options and Raphael was super helpful with attending to my needs and understanding what I wanted. Awesome staff and super helpful.
The food was as amazing as the service. I ordered the mushroom pasta made with homemade Alfredo sauce, mix seafood pasta and the beet salad. All just wonderful!
Thank you! I will def become a returning customer.
The night I went they had a trio of flamenco guitarrists, and they were awesome. The tall guitarrist had an amazing voice...
This is an excellent Italian restaurant in Bethesda. The pizzas are good, but the pastas are amazing.
They make most of their own pastas. And they have this amazing imported pasta from Italy.
The desserts are really amazing. Tiramisu in particular is amazing.
Very good service
And oh yeah, park in the adjoining garage. Easy access to the restaurant.
Divine food, and an extraordinary waiter, Rafael, who is great with the menu, knows a bunch of languages, and somehow makes everyone feel like they've known him for decades. This is an upscale but incredibly welcoming place with awesome food. Try the fish grilled with salt and filleted at the table. So good!!
