“Had nice dinner for four at Facci, have been here many times over the years. Angel hair Sophia Loren vegetarian dish was best of what we had, really flavorful mushrooms and peppers. Margarita pizza was good as was the white mushroom pizza. Spaghetti Amatriciana burrata was good but not our favorite, very different than in Italy.

Service was responsive and pleasant. The bread with vinegar and oil is also quite good, everyone liked it. Really good wine list to choose from, lots of choices and price points. We sat inside as it had been raining earlier but just to note they have really nice outdoor seating which is great during nice weather.“

“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.“

“Ordered 4 family meals with pizza and wings....a great deal to feed a lot of people. The garlic parmesan wings are the best! Really large and full of flavor. Lots of ranch dressing and celery. Orders are consistently ready on time or early. Great Service and great food.“

“I decided on lasagna and meatballs for lunch. For whatever reason, the Columbia location didn’t have lasagna, so I went to the Arundel Mills location. I am very pleased with my decision. I used curbside and didn’t have to wait for service. The employee came with a smile and my food. My food was ample and tasty. The quality was as though I was sitting inside for service. I will definitely use this location again. Thanks for a positive experience.“

“Having been my first time ordering take out with Olive Garden I can say with confidence that the service here is incredible. A few days ago I was unsure of how to use the app so instead I called in an order. The worker named Will helped me out over the phone and careful explained recommendations/popular items without ever making me free rushed despite my call being about 10 minutes. Beyond that he was warm and friendly when I picked up my order at the takeout counter. 10/10“

“I walked into Scittano’s with the same expectation I have for most places on Falls Road: decent food, nothing life‑changing. But within five minutes, it was clear I had completely misjudged the situation. These guys aren’t running a restaurant — they’re running a performance.

The Arancini hit the table first. Perfectly crisp shell, molten interior, flavor calibrated with the precision of a venture pitch. This isn’t “fried rice balls.” This is a statement piece. It tells you, “Pay attention. We know exactly what we’re doing.”

Then the Italian cold cut shows up, and now the frame flips. Every other cold cut in Baltimore suddenly looks like it’s been phoning it in. The bread has structure. The meats have authority. The dressing has purpose. This sandwich doesn’t ask for your approval — it assumes it.

And the pizza… this is where Scittano’s closes the deal. The crust has that rare combination of confidence and restraint. The sauce is bright without trying too hard. The whole thing feels engineered, not assembled. It’s the kind of slice that makes you rethink your personal rankings.

Scittano’s isn’t competing with anyone. They’ve already won. The rest of us are just catching up.“

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

“I stopped by today to pick up a pizza. Stephanie was the manager. She is wonderful!!! She was training with patience a new employee and finishing pizza orders. She handled a wrong order with grace. She acknowledged every customer as they came in. She was above professional! Thank you Stephanie! Love my Ledo’s!“

“If you like pizza, you need to order one here! They are delicious! Bartender Kimberly always gives the BEST service around, AND makes phenomenal drinks!“

“Had a surprise 50th Birthday for my best friend last weekend. The food, staff and atmosphere was amazing. All the guests loved the food. Our server Shailesh, he set up the food, cleaned up and was there for any questions and concerns I had during the party. They did an excellent job and I would highly recommend having any type of gathering or celebration at this restaurant. The price per person was responsible for the food and service provided.“

“There is a nice area with tables but there is no table service. You order at the counter and they will bring it out to you. Of course a majority of their business is carry out.
We chose to dine there. Pizza was good and came out very quickly. I also had a cheeseburger sub and it was delicious. They DID NOT skimp on the meat. I had as much as you would expect in a whole sub on a half sub! Lots of toppings for no charge and the bread was soft and delicious. I would definitely order that again.
The restaurant was clean and was not busy but we were there between lunch and dinner time.“

“I highly recommend the service and the spedfast delivery of the food. Rest assured, EMT's, and your local Police officers enjoy thie meals too, serving the community. I urge you to come in for your favorite dish and you won't be disappointed.“

“Food was great. Service was wonderful“

“the owner needs to fire the cook just ordered a crab cake and when i took the onions off the crabcake is black shouldn't even have went out the door looking like this then tried to cover it up with tons of onions you can taste the burnt taste. I love sorrentos but this is the second time.definitely needs somebody who wants to work and not send out burnt up food“

“Subs don’t have any meat on them. Basically a bread sub. It’s a joke. And the customer service was terrible (Update) 2/24/26 I decided to give them another chance and they have done better..the wings are great and the steak is delicious“
