“Delicious & reasonably priced food. Everything tasted so fresh! It was so good that we wanted to keep eating even though we were SO full. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere with friendly and hard working staff. We had the fried ravioli as an appetizer with stuffed shells w meatballs and the Chesapeake pasta. Holy cannoli!! Just thinking about them makes my mouth water. Would/will come back again.“

“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!“

“Best place in Baltimore! If you want some good authentic, doesn’t leave the bloat in the belly, home cooking, Vinnys is the place to be! From fresh oysters 🦪 to handmade pasta and sauce, are you kidding me! Not to mention the martini 🍸 shout of to Kristen, the mixologist who never disappoints! You won’t regret it! #supportfamilyowned“

“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.“

“We got pizzas for work today and they were some of the best I've had!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“Marta manages to be both lively and cozy simultaneously in a rowhouse that previously housed Salt (one of my all time favorite upscale restaurants) We went for a friend's birthday, and all 3 courses were delicious, beautifully presented, inventive, and not the same old menu that you find everywhere. Very sweet wait staff was super attentive, educated about the food and wine and made great suggestions. Our original wait staff had an emergency and had to leave in the middle of service, but seamlessly another wait person stepped in to covered us. Kudos to the front of house team for handling with such skill and ease. But the food was definitely the star of the show. For me, the standout was the tuna cannoli. I'm not even sure I can do justice to this deliciousness with a crunchy outer "cannoli" shell with a slight hint of sweet surrounding a creamy center of tuna crudi with little dots of avocado cream. And all was covered with a pistachio "dust." The spicy meatballs were delectable nestled in a cloud of creamy spicy ricotta. And the Duck and Foie Gras Panzotti (little triangle ravioli) was creamy, delicious and the perfect combination of delicate tastes. And the Tiramisu Affogato ended the dinner on a delicious note! And for two people with drinks it was really pretty a good deal for the quality if the food, service and location. We will be back! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“This place has really stepped up in the last few years. Every dish was excellent, and every ingredient in their pizza was delicious!!“

“We ordered pizza almost every Friday night when I was growing up in Catonsville. Excellent food and 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!“

“We love our Chef P Fridays! The Chef P family makes it feel like home and the food is always delicious! A Catonsville landmark!“

“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“

“Delicious Italian food! Started back in 2020 via delivery service to the office during covid. Now, in 2024, I dine in and sometimes order to go.
If you haven't already, you must dine here or at least get something to go. You will not regret the decision to do so.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Hands-down best pizza in town!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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