This is a pretty good spot for food and drinks, lunch and dinner, casual or a little bit formal.  It's right in downtown Ellicott City, which is an awesome little town just about an hour outside of Northern Virginia.  We actually had our wedding in…More »

Not bad for delivery.  It took about 45 minutes and we live right down the street.  The delivery guy forgot the sodas and the pizza was $20 for a large with two toppings.  Thin and not much meat on the pie.  Angelico's definitely tops this one but I…More »

The atmosphere and the food are very nice; however there are two huge factors about this place that make both of those attributes null.  THEY ARE VERY PRICY AND DO NOT ACCEPT ANY CREDIT CARDS--- ONLY CASH and they do not have soda.  So, if you do…More »

Without a doubt, Silva's has the best, freshest marzipan I have ever had.  I have been three or four times and have never been disappointed.  It is a small business, obviously family-run and they are always friendly, very humble but prideful, and…More »

Love, love, love this place!  Never actually BEEN to the restaurant, but we order from there at least a couple of times a month.  The pizza, sandwiches, and wings are delicious and they are ridiculously fast with delivery every single time.  We…More »

We go here every time my family is in town.  My father, who manages to sniff out the most fabulous food around wherever he may be, discovered this place shortly after we moved to Oakton.  The service is always very good, though they do get VERY busy…More »

Excellent first and only experience!  I had a rare bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and it was fast, made to order, and delicious!  It was also very large and in charge.  I will be back, BGR!
