Great restaurant - the atmosphere and food were great. The servers were friendly and helpful though there seemed some confusion at times about who was serving us. The quality of the food is great. It's a neighborhood gem and for those of us who don't live there it is worth the trip to get there. It stays on the list!!

It was a little bit too noisy for my liking, but I love the location. The service was prompt, the food was delicious, and parking was a breeze. I'll be back to this local gem

Always a good time at Della Norte when Wendell performs. Good food, consistently attentive service
Opentable Diner
We recently moved to the area and this is our new favorite “local” spot. Every visit has been excellent!

It was very crowded because it was a Friday and Valentines Day. We had a late reservation 8:15. We were seated quickly , food was delicious and server did his best. Tables are packed in. We enjoyed our meal which offset any ambiance disappointment. Would def recommend this place and go again.

I reserved a table to celebrate Valentine's Day with my wife. Aaron took great care of us and the food was outstanding. If you desire authentic Italian cuisine, you must eat here!!!
Carlie
A little wait for the reservation we had. Noise level was way too loud and choice of music not great. Asked a few times to turn it down. Eventually turned it off.

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Della Notte. The food was great and loved that you can sample all the wines before you commit. Felt like we had a personal Sommelier at our disposal for the evening! The entire staff was very friendly. It's a new favorite for us and will definitely be visiting again soon!
Vegetarian options: Wild mushroom risotto, caprese salad to name a couple
I really wanted this place to be good - it is in the neighborhood which could use some new restaurants to choose from. I have been here over a dozen times - sometimes the service is tolerable, most of the time it is slow and inattentive. Frustratingly so, many times.
The food is very bad. Chicken parm over fried and rubbery, often the meals come out cold, the fries are soggy.
It seems most of the recent reviews are along the same lines - I wish the owner would get a new chef and staff and listen to the reviews.

Had been looking forward to trying Della Motte but was regretfully disappointed. The food was mediocre, the service was awful. Don't know if he was new or not, but in any case, the service was terrible. We were there for nearly 2 hours and most of it was spent waiting...to be greeted, to have our order taken, to get our food, to get out check...the one bright spot was the wine was good! We won't be back...

What a great place! I took my wife and kids here on the recommendation of my neighbor and it was fantastic. We started with the Mozzarella Caprese and Calamari, both were delicious. The caprese had red and yellow tomato slices with fresh mozzarella cheese, and a very nice, sweet glaze drizzled on it. My wife had the salmon piccata and I had the pork chop, both were generous portions and cooked perfectly. The kid's menu doesn't lack of choices either, plenty to choose from. My children picked the flatbread pizza, I stole a slice, and spaghetti and meatball. They are picky eaters at times and both finished their entire meal. Thank you Della Notte!! We were too full for dessert, but the menu had a lot of great options. I had an espresso, which was nice after my meal. The server was great and attentive, the manager stopped by our table, checked how we were doing and gave us a little background on the restaurant. He was very kind. The owners also own Carpaccio and he joined them on this endeavor. We will definitely be back and plan on becoming regulars. We are so happy to have a restaurant like this in the area. We are from Arnold and it is worth the short drive.

We’ve been there three times, and have yet to be positively impressed. The servers have always been pleasant and competent, the atmosphere is fine for a neighborhood place, but the food has never been more than mediocre. We’ve tried all of our Italian favorites (most of which are pretty basic), but the results have never been fully satisfying. The last time my partner had eggplant parmesan, and I decided to see if they could manage a cheesesteak. Her dish was not as warm as it should have been (the place was not even half full) and the French fries with my sandwich were limp. REALLY? The cheesesteak itself was actually the best I’ve had in quite a while, so if I ever go back I’ll just sit at the bar, order my cheesesteak and sub some basic pasta for the fries. Just don’t go there expecting a good Italian meal. They are to be had in Annapolis, just not in Cape Saint Claire or the new place at State Circle.

Service was great. Joe did a good job. We ordered one salad, one chicken piccata, and one fettuccine with chicken one beer and one club soda with a splash of cranberry. We also ordered 2 cups of cream of crab soup. Very watered down. That whole meal came in at $110 without the tip. The food was adequate, but not anything to write home about. Will never return.
