Whether you're shopping for a big pasta dinner or just restocking the pantry, Three Brothers Italian Market is hard to beat. The range of goods is impressive—one-pound tins of rosemary leaves and colorful jars of spicy pickled peppers share shelf space with sauce pots, pans, and pasta makers.
Impressive, too, are the low prices. You won't find any $7.99-a-pound pastas here—the most expensive artisanal variety costs $3.99 a pound, with most brands around $2. Hard-to-find shapes include the zitilike occhi di lupo and giant tube-shaped paccheri. Plan on a trip to Three Brothers' red-sauce restaurant next door before leaving—the smells wafting into the market make it hard to resist getting a slice of pizza and a cannoli before heading home. Three Brothers Italian Market, 4521 Kenilworth Ave., Bladensburg; 301-864-1570. This article appeared in the January, 2009 issue of The Washingtonian.

Anything that has to do with three brother’s pizza
is terrible. I have never been to there market, but i can only assume it is like there restaurants. The only thing halfway decent is there pizza and thats being nice. I have tried several of there items on there menu and was dissapointed each time. There service is poor at best. One example I ordered a Sub from there Waldorf store; I live about 5 minutes away so I waited about 10 minutes and headed over there. When i got there my food wasn’t prepared and I had to wait and additional 20 minutes. I get the Sub home and take a bite and its ice cold in the middle. To conclude this THREE BROTHERS SUCKS.

Although I haven’t been to Three Brothers I have been to Litteri. The hygiene there was in- existant!! I’m half Italian and was totally disgusted when I picked up some hard to find sealed packs of closed mixed pasta not only with long gone expired dates on them - in Italy it’s compulsory on ALL food - but with what certainly appeared to be rodent droppings on them!! Is there no sanitary control in places like this in the States??!!

Wow, talk about over rated. Three Brothers is far inferior. As the commenter above says, go to A. Litteri. Better cheese selection, better cold cuts (Three Brothers did not even have Proscuttini, subs, better selection of pasta, olive oil, bread, everything. While Litteri’d does not have have the cookies and pies, the overall quality far surpasses Three Brothers. Where does the Washingtonian get off on selecting Three Brothers. Have they been to Litteri I wonder.

The market may be fine (and cheap), but the food in the restaurant is horrible. Standard, crappy Italian-American fair--bloated, overcooked pasta; dry, doughy pizza; and soggy salads (with the occaisional human hair for protein). Pretty horrendous stuff.

Sounds great, but you can’t beat A. Litteri on Morse Street in Northeast - the floor-to-ceiling authentic products, good prices, easy to get to AND a deli counter in the back. One of our favorite finds in our neighborhood.
