Maybe we were in a rut, but it was a good rut. The address of the business was Beltsville, but it was really north of Beltsville off route 1 near the big Ritz camera shop. We pretty much went to Laurel most of the time for lunch cause the options were better then south on route 1 - except for Hogs on the Hill near Powder Mill road.

Every review I read -- including the comments here -- suggest that it's a jewel. I've added Il Pizzico to my wish list on Urbanspoon; perhaps an adventure on the Metro is in my future. yellojkt: I hear the weekend dinner lines are legendary. While that's somewhat comforting to know, I'd definitely opt for a weekday evening or an early dinner. Damien: Weekly trips? Even though Beltsville is close, that's pretty impressive considering all the nearby restaurants. Mikaiya: I’m really kicking myself for not getting over there yet.

When I worked in Beltsville, we used to make trips up to Pasta Plus on a weekly basis. I haven't been there in years and I miss it. Might have to take a trip over to Laurel sometime soon and get a fix. Pasta Plus is not as polished inside as Mezzanotte but the food is well worth it.

Pasta Plus is very nice, but I'm not sure it's worth the ridiculous waits. I go early in the evening when it's not a zoo. Never heard of Mezzanotte so I will have to give it a try.

My college roommate who lives down the street from you is a huge fan, and took us to pick up food there- almost everything is fresh handmade noodles, and pure deliciousness. I had one of the ravioli dishes and was very impressed. If you ever make it out Rockville way, another superb Italian place is Il Pizzico. It looks like a hole in the wall, but the food is consistently great and they have a very solid wine list. Bon appetit!
