The food was really good and the service was great. It is a nice little place and we were lucky to get a table on the stoop outside to take in the view of that area in Fells Point.

Probably won't go back. Hesitated writing a review but honestly my friend and I believe there was little excuse for the poor food and service we got. We were one of two table in the building on a thursday night. They said there was a party coming later and some of those guest were at the bar drinking, so again overall not busy. My friends waited for us for 20 mins and didn't even have water at their table when we met them there. All four of us had different version of the same menu, when we told her about it it took her another 5 minutes to bring back correct menus. the server had zero knowledge of the menu and then said it was only her second day so why anyone left her alone to take tables is crazy. Drinks took a while to come out which isnt the biggest deal but we had already waited a while in general for literally nothing so overall annoying. We had a few questions about entrees since it was our first time there and their pasta family style pricing is confusing and honestly overpriced and she had no idea so that took her a couple more minutes to figure out. Appetizer we got calamari and garlic bread. Calamari came plain nothing as described in the menu and so overcooked it was inedbile so we sent it back, which we really never do. Garlic bread was delicious but not worth 16 dollars, at most 9 or 10. after that we decided we wasted enough time ( an hour and a half at this point) we asked for the check, my friend and I being in the industry found in found it shocking that after sending back apps, and clearly showing interest in entrees and then asking for a check after sending food back no manager check on us or no one bothered to ask what went wrong during the meal.

This is some of the best Italian food around. At the restaurant and delivery. I highly recommend the lasagna and the Caesar salad dressing may be my favorite, but it’s hard to choose. The staff is amazing and I can’t wait to keep trying the staples and the new dishes. Keep doing this!!

Solid American style Italian food. All the food was solid, full of American Italian staples, and a good spot if you are in the mood for pasta. If you just came back from Naples or Florence and want the real thing though it's probably not the place I would point you. That being said it could have partially been what we ordered since the lasagna and the linguini with clams were standout dishes so if you find yourself here try them.

I did not have the best experience at this restaurant, I was so hoping that it would have been a better experience. It took almost an hour for us to get our food and the food was just okay.

I've been eyeing this place up for awhile now and saw the opportunity to eat here for Valentine's Day. The place is unique but not so much the food and experience. The waiter described the lobster dish and it didnt come out as explained although it was tasty it was your ordinary spaghetti with a lobster tail. They definitely need a system because everyone in our section kept being bothered by runners for food or drinks that didn't belong to them. Then our cheesecake took 25mins.. I hope yall take criticism because there's so much potential ?

Worst service I’ve ever experienced! Bartender was awesome, friendly and mad one of the best espresso martini’s I’ve had. Appetizers were mediocre, then they cleared the tables and said they would reset it but it was 12 minutes after our dinner, which was mediocre and bland, and amd asking twoce before our utensils arrived ti aleat a now like warm dinner. As if we weren’t having a bad enough time, we had to ask our waitress for dessert and coffee and it was another 45 minutes before it arrived. Pistachio cheesecake was gummy, crust gooey and tasted like black pepper overwhelming the entire dessert. Very disappointed.

They were out of multiple items. The chicken parmesan was overcooked, the garlic bread had no taste of garlic. The potatoes were good and the server was nice but had to tell us that multiple items were out of stock. Would not recommend for the price point and you can travel 5 blocks for good Italian food at Little Italy.

I’ve been here twice and both times I’ve had to wait for 1.5-2 hours for my food. Nobody was in the restaurant but the service was still slow. Food was not great and waiter was not the kindest.I have never written a review before but this experience made me want to warn people not to come.

Unfortunately came here for the first time and it might be my last. It took almost 30mins to get our drinks in and over an hour to get our food. Our table was understanding that our server had just started and that we also came in during restaurant week but if this is a gauge to check out an establishment, I unfortunately cannot recommend it.

A tantalizing treat for all your senses! From the ambience, to the thoughtfulness around plating, 5 stars across the board. This is a gorgeous spot for date night or GNO. The food is delicious and the service is impeccable. Do not skip dessert, trust me. Highly recommend the lasagna and chicken parm.

My friends and I came in tonight to Osteria Pirata for dinner and cocktails. Our waiter, Dan, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Two managers were present, Joe Breeden and Rani. It is an understatement when I say that they CATERED to us. Rani especially was amazing. She personally served us and made delicious shots which she recommended. The food overall was wonderful. We split the following options; meatballs, garlic bread, arancini, crab panzanella, caprese salad, short ribs, lamb pappardelle, 12 layer chocolate cake, tiramisu, and a lemon tart. All was fantastic! Service was 10/10, highly recommend!
