“it was the highlight of my day to come to Carrabba's with my wife. We were nearby and always come to Carrabba's for our favorite dish. Fettuccine Carrabba! It's the best and the people that work here in Pasadena are the sweetest most accommodating out of all of them. I love the atmosphere, the cleanliness, the service and the food. The manager "Ben" is fantastic too!“

“The food is absolutely amazing….pricey but worth it! Better than Little Italy quality.“

“The food and the service are excellent.“

“great food and prices. my waitress ruined the experience a bit. stared me down for 5 seconds when I asked to put in dessert order cuz I wanted to get that in. And disappeared long periods, (i think only to us), didn't greet us for 15 mins when we sat. it's okay but not the best. she was nice on and off though a little weird the places doesnt give any bread but it's okay. best restaurant week in Baltimore. generous portions. great bread pudding and tiramisu and shrimp and linguine and salmon. salad is good too“

“Nicely appointed dining room, attentive and friendly staff. And our pizza was wonderful.“

“Been here like 5 times since they’ve opened. Carbonara, and duck confit pizza are go to’s. Never had a bad experience. Brett, dom, and Jontell, along with their great staff and brand can certainly run a tight ship. 30/10, will recommend every time.“

“Best dining experience all weekend!“

“After a rough opening experience, I reached out and expressed my issues with the staff...After meeting with Management, they listened to my concerns and offered to ReDo my order....and Wow!!! Give them a try today from one Paisan to another....Great food...Be patient on the weekends as that is when they are most busy. I'm a fan again!!!“

“At a tagliata, I recommend trying the classic Tagliata di Manzo, which is thinly sliced grilled beef typically served with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan shavings. It's a delicious and flavorful choice that showcases the quality of the meat. Enjoy your meal!“

“First time here. Excellent food and ambiance! I got a drink and fettuccine Alfredo. Delicious. Everyone who works here is very nice as well. Huge space- they have space for events as well“

“Cinghiale is one of our favorite restaurants. A wonderful place with fantastic food and a great staff.“

“We are visiting from Canada. We received fantastic service and the food was incredible. The restaurant even helped us get back to our hotel when the cab didn't show up as our phones weren't working. Thank you Abigail and the hostess (unfortunately I can't remember her name). They ended our evening on a positive note which won't be forgotten 🤗. 5 stars.“

“My wife and I went here and could not have chosen a better spot. They call themselves, by them, I mean Amedeos (the Dad) and his delightful daughter, Becca a Wine Bar. It's much more than that. A quaint little Trattoria with about 5 tables and a long bar with about 10 seats turns this establishment into a full comfort zone with excellent food, wine, customer service & interactions with other patrons.
Amedeos and Becca are lovely people.“

“Food was great , service was great. No complaints.“

“Our first visit and we will definitely be back!!! Service from Jennifer D. was excellent and set the tone for the rest of the meal. Food was outstanding.“

“I stopped by for a quick lunch on sunday. Was in and out in less than 40 minutes. Asia was my server, very friendly and made sure I was taken care of quickly. The new Champagne Shrimp option was extra good that day.“

“One of my favorite places in the city.“

“Food was not good pasta taste like spaghetti O’s lamb chops tasted like it was boiled. I do not recommend! I selected would not recommend and Facebook made me recommend and I DON’T“

“I recommend Limoncello Baltimore for delicious food and nice atmosphere! Baltimore is known for its restaurants and Limoncello demonstrates great quality and excellent service.“

“All of the food we had was spectacular and one-of-a-kind; cocktails, focaccia, beef tartare, honey nut squash, pasta… the service was impeccable and the restaurant had a lovely ambiance. I’ve recommended this restaurant to all of my foodie friends and we will definitely be back!“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“As an original Marylander born and raised I have eaten in almost all the places in Little Italy accept Angeli’s recently. I love the atmosphere but was not that impressed with the food or service. In a tourist area so maybe to some it was nice. I liked the cozy atmosphere but the food was not impressive to me“

“On weekend trip to aquarium and came here after reading reviews cuz the grandkid wanted pasta. Arrived about 7 and got the last table. Server quickly arrived for drink order then manager came quickly behind to take the food order. Though he was moving things along, we did not feel rushed. Food was great! Half order of spaghetti with one giant meatball was perfect for our 12 year old granddaughter. Italian and cheesesteak subs were big and we each only ate half. If you get the side salad, you better like parm (we do!). Great draft beer selection including IPAs.“

“Wonderful, wonderful experience! Not only did we have a good experience on Thursday night with our basketball team, but when we called again on Friday they remembered us. Commented on how well behaved our school was. We ended up ordering 15 pizzas for Friday night, they gave us 20 bucks off and carried all 15 pizzas to the car for us. We will definitely be back! Bayview Seahawks thank you.“

“This is our go-to place for pizza & Greek salad. Dine-in or to go, Squisito always makes it fresh & hot, and if you go get it instead of ordering for delivery, the price is reasonable.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible for wife in wheelchair.“

“I tried to leave a review and it won't post so I will try again. My family and I ate dinner inside on Friday night after seeing the trains. They were extremely busy but to our surprise the food didn't take very long and was just as good as always. Our server (also the manager I believe as she was helping the counter area, as well as getting change for the employees up there) is really why I wanted to write this review. Our son has special needs and wanted HER to pour his apple juice into his cup. Mind you the restaurant is packed and so was carry out, she poured his juice and kept coming around and filling it up a bit more for him throughout our meal. She was so busy but made us feel like the only customers there. She neatly boxed our pizza for us even though she was very busy and I told her she didn't have to do that for us. All in all was a great dinner, Amazing food and fantastic service. They do get very busy and you might wait a bit for a table but it is worth every second of the wait. You won't be disappointed. As far as carry out goes we were sitting right next to the carry out area and the line was across the mall and pizzas stacked on their oven. They were very busy but they seem to get through the line pretty fast so although you might have to wait a few mins to get to where you order the food is worth it. I would watch a man bring up bagged orders and then within a minute our server would check the bags hand certain ones to the people working carry out and yell a number I believe this was to get the people here already waiting their food right away. Seemed like they have a working system for this crazy time. So although the lines seem very long it wasn't bad at all. Our kids also loved the trains. Was the first year they are old enough to really enjoy them and enjoy them they did!“

“I eat from here 3 times a week and I always get the same thing, Antipasto salad with grilled chicken IT IS AWESOME.“

“We tried Italia’s based off recommendations and we are so satisfied. The pizza was fantastic!! The gluten-free was great for my husband. I’m new to the area and prefer local vs chain restaurants for pizza. Totally recommend this for pizza. I can’t wait to dine in for other dishes!“

“We've avoided this location for years because of past horrible service.
However, today, we'd give it a 10/10! We had Aubri as our waitress and she was the best waitress we've had anywhere in a long time. We'd come back and request her specifically!

Food was quick and hot and the breadsticks were fresh. 10/10 recommend.“

“My daughter and I are in Baltimore for the week. I am 100% Italian and she was craving pasta. After some research I settled on Chiapparelli’s. We went for lunch today. Loved the old school atmosphere and the food was delicious. Eating out has gotten so expensive and I am often disappointed with the food. Not today! We will be back every time we are in Baltimore.“

“Hands-down best pizza in town!!!“

“Our meal, from start to finish, was fabulous! They offer a Beef Carpaccio, so rare to find now, that was beautifully prepared. The house-made pasta was amazing and they even spliced together two dishes for me. We drank our desserts and they were yummy! Daniel is the quintessential waiter and set the seal on our perfect meal. Highly recommend for any special event!!!!“

“Olive Garden Columbia MD …. I have to admit I have not been a fan of Olive Garden, but that has change since Sunday October 27 ….we had a large party of about 65 people. I have never experienced such impeccable service ever with a party of this size. Orders taken promptly, drinks served, food hot and and correct. It’s hard to relate in words. Great attitudes from the servers and even management helping out. I applaud you all and I am now a big fan of Olive Garden. Oh yeah and the food was scrumptious…I had the Cajun salmon …. The shrimp something appetizer.“

“By far one of the best Italian restaurants my husband and I have ever visited. Great atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Delicious food. Will be back during our next visit to Baltimore.“

“Great food and wonderful staff!! The service was the best. The whole place is just beautiful. Will definitely be back.“

“Love this place! Short rib ravioli is amazing!“

“Always has great food. Italian Cold-cuts to their hot roast beef. I will try their pizza very soon. Had the Hot Turkey with stuffing special last year, the best.“

“Food is good! I had some confusion ordering online (Look at the top of the online order menu list, not the banner at the top of the webpage to get the online bogo pasta deals while they last.). In my frustration I became a bit of a Karen. Nonetheless, management called me up a few days later and patiently, politely, kindly helped me navigate their webpage.“

“Fantastic food, industrial, chic decor, superb service and Judy is fabulous. You simply must dine in this fantastic establishment.“

“Was in the area and was told this is the pizza place of all places. All my friends know I take my pizza pretty seriously. Met with the owner (helluva great guy) and it is a pizza worth a 12hr drive.“

“Some of my favorites:
1. Prosciutto Bread. Buy some pesto from their fridge and dunk it in it. Add some cheese from the deli and fresh fruit and you've got the best lunch ever.
2. 5lb bags of De Cecco pasta.
3. Deli Copa, Mortadella, & Cappicola.
4. Deli sandwiches.“

“Price and quality excellent definitely i will return excellent customer service.“

“We were on our way back to MA from a week in NC and googled Italian restaurants near us- being outside of Boston, Italian food is a staple for us. The food here was amazing- the service was outstanding and the “first time” dessert delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for great food and service for a very reasonable price!“
