We just had our wedding at Cinghiale, and it was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The food was incredible—every course beautifully prepared by Juan David and served with care, and the service was seamless all evening.
The atmosphere was elegant yet warm, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing everything was. Planning and communication with Abbe Gould was smooth and professional, and on the day of the wedding, she and the entire executed every detail flawlessly.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines exceptional food, impeccable service, and a truly special ambiance, Cinghiale delivers in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience on our wedding day.

Truly an incredible dining experience. Amazing food, cocktails, and vibe. Special thanks to Tiara, who provided attentive, kind, and helpful service. Would absolutely recommend!

We had a very disappointing meal and will not be returning. First, the positive-it is a beautiful space. However, the negatives:
1. We were kept waiting for 20 minutes despite having a reservation
2. Our waiter was poor-terrible communicator, forgot a dish, forgot to replace silverware until after our entrees were served, forgot to check on us despite multiple attempts to grab his attention among many other issues
3. Portions were tiny for this price point. Some of the dishes were good, but others (specifically the lasagna) was overcooked and bland.
Bottom line is, I absolutely cannot recommend Cinghaile after this experience. We generally love Tony Foreman's restaurants but this was terrible

We met our daughter and son-in-law for dinner here. This was all of our first time there. Let me start by saying our server Solera (Spelling...sorry) was simply fantastic. The experience was made even more enjoyable by the service from Solera, Joshua, Alejandro. We had 3 types of prosciutto, 3 types of cheeses for appetizers plus a Ceasar salad. Our entrees were all shareable and we had ravioli, carbonara , and pizzas which were excellent. We also had a 4th, the lasagna, which was the least favorite dish. It was slightly overcooked and the sauce had a unique flavor.
The deserts were delicious. We sample 7 of them. All fabulous. We definitely would give this another dinner.
The atmosphere was delightful and the entire staff was fabulous.

Cinghiale was fantastic. Cozy, rustic vibe with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The Italian dishes were fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared — everything tasted homemade. Service was friendly and attentive. Perfect spot for a relaxed dinner with great food and good company.

Dining at Cinghiale in Baltimore was a memorable experience that blended elegance with warmth. From the moment I walked in, the golden lighting, soft chatter, and candlelit tables created an inviting atmosphere that felt both refined and comfortable. My wife and I attended the Cinghiale Opera Salon, and it was truly a one-of-a-kind evening — the live opera intertwined beautifully with the meal, making each course feel like part of a story. The service was attentive, the pacing thoughtful, and the food exceptional. Every dish reflected care and authenticity, from the perfectly tender pasta to the rich flavors that spoke of true Italian tradition.

A big treat for us is to sit at the bar get martinis and have dinner. A wonderful way to end a hectic day in comfortable and pleasurable surrounding. We look forward to the drinks and bar staff which were great as always.
We were very happy to see some new selections on the menu.
The swordfish entree was really exceptional in presentation, variety of flavors and textures. I hope it stays on the menu!
My wife’s linguine and clams ( and mussels?) was thoroughly enjoyed.
We will be back soon as is our routine!
But what happened to the Rhode Island Calamari that we and countless others have enjoyed for years? Bring it back soon!

My husband and I visited recently. The food was fantastic, as well as well as the service and ambience. But also be mindful, this is a fine dining establishment with smaller portions and a larger price point.

What a pleasant lunch surprise! Cinghiale just started serving lunch and they had a well curated menu that even included desserts. I enjoyed my visit so much, I invited a friend to join me. I would strongly recommend them for a solo, duo or group lunch visit. At this time, they offer this lunch special Tuesday-Friday from 11:30am-2:00pm. I will definitely be visiting again. Gracie Cinghiale and well done!

I had event for 16 people and booked Private room at Cinghiale. That was correct choice. They event organizer, Abbe, walked me through the process, and helped to arrange unforgettable evening with my friends. Nice, elegant room, no noise - easy to talk and laugh; ability to show pictures/slide show on the large screen privately, friendly service crew; full avalability of food and beverage choices; valet parking, etc. Thank you Cingiale for this great evening!

Boy, was Cinghiale a surprise—in the best way. We were visiting from Washington, D.C. over Labor Day weekend for a quick getaway to recharge and celebrate a birthday. We tried several different restaurants during our stay, but this one was hands down our favorite.
We debated where to go given its proximity to Little Italy and all the options there, but choosing Cinghiale turned out to be the best decision. They offer different menus depending on the experience you’re after—whether a more casual à la carte option or a prix fixe—and both looked amazing.
The atmosphere is fantastic. It’s tucked away from the busiest streets, so dining outside is peaceful, close to the water, and great for people-watching. Inside, the white-tablecloth wine room is elegant, and even the regular dining room and bar looked inviting. We opted for outdoor seating and had a quiet, comfortable night.
Service was outstanding—truly the best we had anywhere in Baltimore. Our server was warm, attentive, and full of energy. She gave thoughtful recommendations that really shaped our meal and even surprised us with a birthday glass of wine paired with our entrée, plus a candle with dessert. Those personal touches made the night feel special.
And the food? Spectacular across the board. The stone fruit salad and tomato-mozzarella salad were both refreshing and beautifully presented. The duck was incredibly tender and perfectly cooked. The stuffed pasta dishes were rich, flavorful, and a highlight of the evening. From appetizers through dessert, everything was balanced, thoughtful, and made with pride.
We walked away with zero complaints—just full appreciation for an incredible experience. Cinghiale set the bar high, and we’ll absolutely return on our next visit to Baltimore.
