15 Best Italian Restaurants near Hampstead

“If I could give 10 stars I would! The food was delicious. We had the Italian cold cut, Rocco’s Panini and the meatball Panini. It was the quietest meal I have ever had because everyone was eating. ?The staff was the best. They were kind and accommodating. It felt like we had known them forever.And the desserts…. TO DIE FOR. The chocolate eclairs were hands down probably the best I have had. They have a great variety though and we already know what we are trying next.The store was so cool. Lots of Italian pastas, sauces, cheeses, I already have a list lol.You absolutely must try this place out!!! They made customers for life tonight!“

“1st enjoyed dining here on recommendation few years ago. Absolutely loved everything about this place. When we want a special place, we gather our family and join you again. The atmosphere is very comfortable, although I was fond of the pre-renovation decor. Love that the space is not overpacked with tables and each setting has room. We have had the BEST servers each time. Portions are very large, fresh made pasta, the best ever warm dinner rolls, amazing desserts. We have enjoyed many of your dishes but your Signature has to be the Incredible Seafood Pizza! We order it as an appetizer and even order one to take home. We have moved away but when we visit, your restaurant is on our list of must do while in area. While I know we will spend a lot, I definitely feel it is worth it. Keep doing what you do!!!!“

“My husband and I joined my mother in law for dinner at Illiano's J&P about a week ago. It was the first time I'd ever been there. Dinner was fantastic, the atmosphere and waitress were very pleasing as well. My only regret is that I hadn't experienced this lovely place sooner. I will definitely be back hungry for more of this passionately made food.“

“I found Greenmount Station to be a cozy restaurant, with great food and good service. We ordered the seafood wrap, crab cake sandwich, jerk chicken tenders, stuffed salmon, fried shrimp; all were very delicious. I wasn’t a fan of the bacon bites in the seafood wrap but I would still order it again (minus the bacon).The food is affordable and portion sizes are great. Although the restaurant closes at 11pm, We came here on a Friday night (around 9:45pm), only to be told the kitchen closes at 10pm. We were able to order pretty quickly and the food came out quickly.I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.“

“I've eaten at Genova's way more than I can count and have tried virtually everything on the menu, aside from the Italian dishes.Firstly, Genova's has the best bread for subs in Carroll County. Their meats are on par with everyone else but nothing special, but the bread makes it. Portion sizes for the cost are hit or miss. If you get a parm sub, fillings are generous. Cold cuts filling is about what I expect and are decent (although their Italian Cold Cut is only ham and salami, which is not an ICC which should have at least 3 meats IMO, but that's a different rant.) Steak subs are a little light but relatively fair. I always add extra meat onto a half which is reasonably priced add on and that works for me. I've gotten their BLT and Veggie subs from time to time and they are absolute rip offs. It seems like they just give you the normal amount of filling as a topping on a regular sub with for these.Their pizza is one of the better ones around. Haven't really had a bad one there, although on a personal level, their pizza can sometimes be rough for my stomach. Try their garlic sauce even though its more butter than garlic but I'm not complaining.I used to like their salads too but the past few times I've been disappointed. I usually get the small Greek with chicken which is around $12, which is a bit high and twice out of the last 3 times, the container was about 3/4 full and/or has wilted or big chunks of white lettuce. The wings are another one that is a poor value. They are big and tasty, although sometimes light on sauce, but $10 for 6 wings is high. They bumped up the price when there was a wing shortage and never reduced it.So overall, Genova's has some great items and virtually everything tastes good but the value on some items is poor. Fortunately I've eaten there enough I know what is a good and poor value and I stick to those.“

“There is not a lot to offer in owings mills for food like this. This place is awesome. The pizza is honestly not that good but thats alright because everything else was delicious. Service was great too. If pizza was better it would be 5 stars from yours “

“4x we have been there. 8 different items. All were exceptional. Salad good Chicken parmigiana excellent Baked ziti meat sauce the best Meatballs really good Service superb. The only thing I would change is the garlic sticks. No better Italian food around. We eat there every Monday night now.“

“My family & I have been enjoying Genova's meals for over 20 years. They have served us on very special occasions, they have been the treat we send to local law enforcement & fire fighters as a thank you. It may be a hectic day/ week, we know they will be polite, consistently delicious and timely. They send us a Christmas gift card!!! In these times, to be a cherished customer is incredible!!!! * The lovely Babette will never stear you wrong if you have questions or need a suggestion. Truly, our family looks forward to their comfort food as if it was baked by our own relatives. Some of our favorites to order are the cheese steak sub, (freshly baked bread!) Veggie sub, any of the appetizers are great, the pizza- yumm, and lately...the chicken parm meal 1/2 red ,1/2 alfredo on angel hair DELICIOUS!Thank you Vita, Babette, your entire staffSincerely, 3234 MainVegetarian options: My hubby gets the veggie sub, loves itKid-friendliness: We have three very unique kiddos with individual special needs..the staff spoil us rotten“

“I believe the Ledos in Westminster is an under appreciated gem. Clean, courtesy and fresh are my three watch words when I review a restaurant. The tables and seating are clean, the wait staff is courteous, and the food is fresh. I have never had a bad meal in this Ledos. I am partial to their Italian salad with the Italian cold cuts and their house dressing. The dressing is unbeatable. I have had their Stromboli and Calzone as well and they are both extremely good. Although Ledos is chain/franchise oriented, this Ledos serves great food that is fresh, hot when it is supposed to be hot, plus they have a courteous and prompt waitstaff. Their prices are reasonable, which is “simply icing on the cake”.“

“Pizza Garden in Manchester is our go to place for Stromboli! Their Stromboli is massive and we have learned to get a small which will feed us for dinner and have leftovers for the next day. Fast, courteous service from a real family owned restaurant.Parking: There is handicaped parking in front of the carryout.“

“Great food, excellent service. I really enjoyed it!Parking: Park right on the side of the building. Very easy!Kid-friendliness: My grandchildren generally eat adult type food but I did notice a children's menu and it had several options.“

“I love Belisimos and have for years. Their quality has never wavered. I’ve dinned in and taken out countless times and I’m always satisfied. My cheese pizza was super cheesy, crispy and delicious. They have the BEST cheesesteak sub; better than the ones I’ve had in Philly. Staff is super friendly, alcoholic drinks are a generous poor, prices are fair. Overall just a great spot for a casual bite.“

“We got delivery from here and it is SPOT ON. Our delivery driver was so polite and fast, and the food was perfect. Definitely my new favorite pizza spot. We got customized hawaiian pizza, and customized white pizza (sooo good) some boneless wings, and some sodas. I wanted to write a review because it was 10/10. Thanks for the quality lunch.“

“Stopped here accidentally on Easter of all days and we got wonderful service from Jo, in a chill atmosphere! March madness & baseball was on as well which was nice. She recommended the ziti bolognese and it was the bomb. My boyfriend got a fully loaded chicken cheesesteak with a side of roasted potatoes which was super flavorful & good as well!“

“I've always really enjoyed olive garden. It's a little family tradition of ours to go after the first day of school and take a picture in front of the "plate wall."Quite a bit of time has passed and the plate wall isn't even there anymore, but the atmosphere and tasty food are still 100% as I remember. Our server was great and the manager was nice enough to check-in with us if we had any issues.While everything was great, it's still just an olive garden. The quality of food is the definition of middle-of-the-road. Not bad by any means... Just nothing that will blow your mind. It's the same that it has always been, but now with inflation prices, it feels a liiiiiitle less worth it.“
