“My husband and I were looking for a good meal slightly out of the chaos of Fells Point and stumbled upon this most delicious Italian restaurant. Chef John recommended the Rigatoni alla Vodka with shrimp and it was everything. My husband always particular about seafood felt the shrimp was cooked to perfection. We also had the Buratta as an App and took a Tiramisu to go and enjoy later. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable meal with excellent service. We will be back. If you are looking for an excellent meal in a beautiful environment I recommend it.“

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

“The food was great!! and always will be,almost as good as it was when I worked there over 15yrs ago.“

“The specials didn't have prices so I had to ask. I got a shrimp cheesteak and it said it came with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, mayo. I ordered it without tomatoes and onions but it didn't specify that it comes with banana peppers. They taste okay but I have a very sensitive stomach so I was unhappy about that. The fries it came with were excellent, nice and crispy on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside. My cheesteak was otherwise quite delicious, just be wary the specials aren't exactly clear about what comes on them. I dined in with my friend and also ordered something to go. The order taker didn't give me a receipt or tell me when the to go was ready, he just put it up on the counter like I was supposed to know. When I asked about it, he gave me the to go order so it wasn't really a problem just mildly annoying.“

“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 were in town for a family celebration, and Gastro Social really came through for us. The staff could not have been kinder and more attentive, and the food was terrific. As for drinks, some in our party had the sangria, which they loved!“

“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.“

“I came in last night after work with my husband and our friend. We decided to sit at the bar, watch the game and have some food and drinks. I'm writing this review because we had the best service we ever had at Olive Garden, hands-down and definitely top service overall. Ryan B. was our bartender/ server. He was attentive and incredibly friendly. He made sure we had anything we needed. Amazing experience last night!“

“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!“

“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 was giving early 90’s/ early 2000’s Olive Garden, 5 Stars hands down! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I went yesterday with my family, the food was hot, delicious, and came out fast! The server was delightful! Chef kiss to this whole experience! ✨“

“I liked this place overall ..The meat was good . Lamb chops was perfect & well seasoned..Also the salmon was ok point ..juicy , well but not dried out .. The side dishes need some work ..A lot of work to be honest..I can respect a establishment that is growing & open to new ideas..it's so many dishes on the menu besides Italian..With that being said - mistakes & growth gone happen.WORK OK THE SIDE DISHES!!
The service was A+ .The smoothie 🥤 was better than smoothie king !!! The consistency was beyond perfect perfect..“

“We recently held a baby shower in the main banquet room at the Olive Grove Restaurant. The staff was beyond excellent, the food was great and the support they provided to us was above and beyond. I would highly recommend you consider this business, if you are looking for a location to hold a family or business event.“

“This was my first time food drinks dessert were excellent. The water was tasty as well. I am the pickiest layer and found nothing to complain about. When going on Friday or Saturday get reservations they tend to be extremely busy. I am going back soon“

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

“Obsessed! Our favs are the mushrooms,brussels, salads, scallops and lasagna. CUTE little market, drool worthy desserts and a beautiful cold counter with cheese, deli and fresh butcher cuts.

All the staff is wonderful, John was so kind to me and my Dad and made lunch so special today during my 30 minute break. THANK YOU SCITTINOS!“
