This was my first trip to Sabatino's in little Italy, it was amazing. It has old world charm and an incredible atmosphere and staff. We were seated by a gentleman who made us feel welcome. Almost like we were eating in his home. We were seated at a large table in a good size room. Although the restaurant had numerous occupied tables we had the room to ourselves. It was quiet and nice. Our server Richard was welcoming and attentive. He spent time to explain the menus and take our drink orders. The food was great and large portions. As great as the food was Richard's kind service and caring made our meal special. The prefix menu was excellent, with numerous choices. I have eaten all over Baltimore and I would have to say it was a favorite a d will be a place I return to whenever I am in town. I urge you all to experience the Magic of Sabatinos.

Dinner was perfect from beginning to end. This is what a traditional Italian dinner should be. Service was impeccable.

A great spot where you can bring a date, the family, or your coworkers. Attentive service, excellent food, and great atmosphere - classic Baltimore.

Sabatino’s is located in Little Italy in Baltimore MD. They have the best homemade salad dressing, the entrees are authentic and they have meat ravioli which is hard to find, service was very good, they brought our daughter a birthday cannoli, loved the shrimp cocktail and dessert. Great evening!

It’s Thursday, around 7:00 PM. A colder night than what Baltimore’s thrown at us this unpredictable October. I’m hungry, I’m cold, and all I want is some honest-to-god pasta. Sabatino’s sits there with over 2,000 reviews — a wall of digital praise, a shrine to Little Italy’s glory days. I should’ve looked deeper. My partner and I walk in, and we’re greeted by friendly, attentive staff. We sit. The waiter brings an extra set of silverware, and there it is — a long black hair lying across my fork like it belongs there. Most people would call a manager, maybe even post a photo. Me? No big deal, I just flick it off.
We order: one tomato fettuccine, one Alfredo, and a side of sautéed garlic broccoli. The waitress is great — prompt, polite, trying her best in a losing battle. The bread arrives, and immediately lowers expectations. We push it aside and pretend it’s not an omen. Our food arrived fast. Suspiciously fast.
Then the food arrives. My heart sinks.
Let’s start with the Alfredo. Imagine vomit. That’s it. Clumpy, sour, and somehow both overworked and lazy. The pasta itself looks like it lost its will to live halfway through cooking. My partner’s plate isn’t much better — a pool of red sauce sitting dead center, surrounded by pale noodles. It looked like a pothole after rain. Why in the world would you serve fettuccine with the sauce separated from the pasta? Who hurt you? I’m not even a chef, but you’re supposed to finish them together. Go to any restaurant nearby and they’re probably doing this bare minimum.
I take a bite of my partner’s dish. It’s fine. The kind of fine that makes you wish you’d just gone to the grocery store, bought the ingredients, and saved yourself the heartache.
The man across from us asks the waitress, “Is the Alfredo any good?” I look down at my plate, at this white, lumpy disaster masquerading as food, and I wonder what cruel joke the universe is playing tonight.
Don’t get me started on the broccoli. Just go to Italian Disco.
Great place for a larger family reunion style dinner (we had 21 folks). They were able to give us a private room with no minimum spend

Restaurant really needs a renovation. Ravioli was good, lasagna not great, Bookmaker salad was just ok. Our waitress was lovely.

Great Italian food at a reasonable price in Baltimore's Little Italy. Discovered it in the late '80s, and I always try to stop in for a meal when I visit Baltimore.

What a great home style Italian restaurant in Little Italy. Great pictures of celebrities on the wall as you come in. Good little bar, with a hard working bar tender. Our server was average, the food was disappointing. Average at best, not what I was expecting from Little Italy.
