50 Best Italian Restaurants near Catonsville

“I have lived in Catonsville my entire life and have always loved Scittino’s carryout menu. I am ashamed to say that only recently did I discover their amazing deli counter! I have now gone back numerous times. The staff is incredible! They let me bring my own serving tray, and as I picked out meats and cheeses, they handed them right to me to organize on my tray. Even better, they plastic wrapped it beautifully for me! I will continue to go to them for all of my cheese and charcuterie needs!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“I arrived in Little Italy, Baltimore a little after 9 pm on a Saturday. I was feeling peckish and was hoping to enjoy a glass of wine before a good night's rest. I wandered down the street and into Osteria De Amedeo and Amedeo could tell I was wary. The kitchen was closed but he offered a Caesar salad and the best warm lentil soup. I asked for a glass of dry red and he knew exactly what to pour. He and his daughter along with clear regulars made me feel at home in a strange city. Much love!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“We came in tonight with friends from out of town and they brought their kids. Birrotecca was super accommodating, had high chairs set up when we walked in and got the kids food out first. Everything was delicious and we had a great time - one of our favorite neighborhood spots. Cannot recommend this place enough!“

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

“Fabulous food made fresh from scratch with organic ingredients.“

“If they are offering the Sardinian special with giant potato gnocchi and braised short ribs, get it. You will not be disappointed. I could make a meal on their Italian bread and olive oil alone.
The veal on my plate was from my wife’s meal, which was also very good, but she traded me for some of mine

Yeah it was pretty good“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“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.“

“Outstanding menu! Great Sicilian selection of dishes!“

“Hands-down best pizza in town!!!“

“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'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.“

“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.“

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

“me and my lovely lady just flew into town today and stopped at Gianni's and couldn't be more impressed with George and the staff! great pizza and Canoli! the customer service was amazing something you definitely rarely see these days! thanks again Wayne & Nicole“

“But not the Pasta Fagioli. BLAND. And should have a little meat, had none.“

“The pizza was delish here!! We got a pepperoni, olive, extra cheese & basil pizza. It was massive!! The olives are green FYI (this is not listed on their website & very uncommon). I was not a huge fan of the mozzarella sticks as the cheese had a weird after taste. We also got a cheesesteak and unfortunately they did not give an option to take things off the sandwich so when it arrived, the mayo and tomatoes made for a very soggy sandwich. The meat however was excellent!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Great place!!! Good food! Fun time!“
