46 Best Italian Restaurants near Joppatowne

“Real Italian cuisine is served here in ample helpings. Mama's Favorite Caesar salad can be split for two people. It's loaded with soft fresh mozzarella, artichoke, & sundried tomatoes. It's my favorite, too. The lasagna had so much of the wonderful delicate tomato sauce, it was covered. This is the real authentic lasagna of Italy. For a tasty pasta with a kick, the Salmone Al Pesto has a marvelous creamy pesto sauce, & a heaping of small fresh button mushrooms. They say it's only 6 oz. of salmon but the whole plate was covered in large segments of it--it's large enough to take home for a second dinner. Mama had made her own Tiramisu. The delicate sponge soaked with flavor is something not to be missed. Get it when you can. The service from Madison was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable & extremely helpful. This is a wonderful place for authentic Italian meals.“

“Had the Italian deluxe sub today & it was amazing. Fresh ingredients, fresh bread. I loved it!!!!!“

“We haven't been here since it was sold. The place is beautiful! The food was excellent and our waitress, Holly was the bomb diggity!!! We had the CRAB COW BERGER and it was the best burger we ever . Moist beef and the crab cake with crab imperial was divine. The fries were cooked perfect, nice and crunchy but just as soft on the inside. They were NOT coated! Prices were very reasonable. When you get food like this, you don't mind what it costs as long as it is great. Again, ask for Holly to be your waitress. The best server we have had in a long time. Professional but down to earth and she was on top of everything. We went to celebrate our birthday's. Holly even sang when she brought our cake out! What a FANTASTIK time we had. Please go and enjoy the staff and food... you won't be disappointed!!! Thanks for everything Holly!“

“Never had anything bad. Best pizza bar none. Well managed by Jason.“

“The Power Lunch Specials menu is a bargain at $17.77. The Meatballs & Polenta are excellent. This is 3/4 of the normal lunch menu portion, but is very tasty & extremely filling. The fried calamari is heavy in batter & needs all the lemon juice you can squeeze onto it. The dipping sauces have a lot of hot peppers in them, & are both really spicy. Penne Caprese is fresh & tasty. lovely lunch. Unfortunately, portion sizes vary from day to day. Ask for a full portion. Fettucine Genovese is extremely flavorful. The rich flavor of the cheese enhances the braised beef--a good dish. The coffee had a nice flavor but was watery. It would be much better if they used more coffee.“

“We ate here for the first time on Saturday. The food was amazing! Service was amazing and the staff were so friendly! It was nice to talk to the owner and get his back story and ended with him letting us try a delicious cannoli! We will definitely be back and referring our family and friends here!“

“My husband and I have dined at Basta Pasta on numerous occasions, preferring to sit at the bar, and have never been disappointed. The service at the bar is excellent and the food is delicious. You get a lot of bang for your buck with the salad and breadsticks with the meal too. Drinks are always well made and we are never left waiting long for refills or food. The entire staff are always top-notch and on top of everything, professional, hardworking, and polite. We appreciate this local restaurant and will continue to frequent it. Desserts are also delicious. Also, the coffee drink I ordered had real whipped cream which was impressive.“

“We had early dinner today and it was fantastic. The crab cakes are definitely the largest we have seen. Absolutely 8 oz. Each of us ordered the double platter and could only eat 1/2 of 1. We now have multiple meals (may have to freeze one). The tossed salad was excellent and the fries were just what my husband ordered - extra crispy. Mary was our waitress and she was so personable, quick to serve us, always had a smile on her face. She was attentive and went out of her way to please. Will we be back - absolutely even though it is a 45 minute drive!“

“An unexpected hospital stay changed our plans for Valentine’s Day, but a week later we were able to do carry out. I had the Linguine Primavera with EVOO and my husband had the Chicken Marsala with fettuccine. The meals were fresh, flavorful and seasoned perfectly. Warm soft crusty rolls added to our enjoyment. Portions were so large, it provided a second night’s dinner! This wasn’t our first meal from Acapella and they have always been on point. Will certainly be back!“

“Favorite pizza in MD. I've been going to Pizza John's my whole life. Cheeseburger subs are also pretty good.“

“We came here last Friday for my fathers wake. Everything was perfect, food was hot and refined quickly. The server, Mike was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“I can only recommend the cheese steaks here because that's all I ever get but would be willing to bet other things are great too. Quick service polite staff good food .. hard to beat this place IMO.“

“The BEST chicken caesar salad with actual, homemade, caesar dressing!“

“Liberatore’s has always been a favorite, but the new chef has taken everything to a whole new level. The food is absolutely incredible! The veal parm with penne and meat sauce is perfection — tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly the way true Italian comfort food should be. It’s easily one of the best veal parms I’ve ever had. And the mussels? WOW. Truly the best mussels around — fresh, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with flavor. I could come here just for those alone! To top it off, their espresso martinis are to die for. Smooth, balanced, and delicious every single time — the perfect drink to pair with a great meal. Jake does a great job! Huge compliments to the new chef and the whole team. Liberatore’s is absolutely thriving right now, and if you haven’t been recently, you’re missing out on some of the best Italian food in the area! 🍝🥂 -Marlaina and Angelica“

“My wife and I just moved into this neighborhood about a month ago and was looking for a nice carryout. We stumbled across Fratellos and let me tell yall these was the BEST cheesesteak subs we've had in along time. Briana was so nice and helpful. Its kinda rare when you go somewhere and have both great food and great customer service“

“Food is soo good! Never gotten anything I sis not like“

“I’ve been coming to Pats for as long as I can remember. About 8 years ago it became a regular thing for my husband and I. We met our favorite server around then and are so grateful to get to continue going back and getting amazing quality service. Heather is an amazing asset to Pats. No matter day or night when she’s on the floor running the dinning room, our dinning experience is A+. Sad to see she’s no longer on tables on Wednesday’s we were so surprised. But that didn’t stop us, we just come on the weekends. We visit on her shifts only so we know we are guaranteed top notch service. She knows the menu front to back, always has any answers to our questions we need and always serves us with a smile and awesome attitude. If you’re looking for good food portions, and amazing service stop in and dine with Heather! Best server around :)“

“Just had the best carry out meal from there tonight. Everything was fresh and cooked just right and hot upon delivery!“

“Such a great visit! The last time we came to this Olive Garden (about two years ago), both the food and service fell short of expectations. However, this visit was an absolute 10/10 experience!
The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. Our server, Mikai, was the epitome of professionalism and kindness. We could truly feel the difference compared to our last visit – the atmosphere was welcoming, the staff attentive, and everything exceeded our expectations.

We’re happy to see how much this location has improved. Definitely a great experience this time around!“

“we recently discovered this restaurant and everything we have ordered has been amazing! I got the shrimp scampi tonight and omg it was amazing and I still have enough for another 1-2 meals! I can't wait to let the employees at boxhill know I found a good scampi that doesn't use Italian dressing as sauce as we discussed earlier where to get some delicious scampi near by from. My husband loved the bacon chicken ranch pizza and my kids love their pizza in general. I'm pretty picky about my fries and theirs are pretty darn good too! The service is great, wait time is pretty quick! they have the cutest most tasty little loads of bread that went along with the scampi too. give them a try, you won't regret it!“

“Never been disappointed coming here🔥💯“

“We have gone to this new location numerous times and found all of the staff to be very friendly and helpful. They make it a point to greet you as you arrive and wish you well as you leave with a smile. Very clean and excellent service. Big thank you to Jaida for taking such good care of us on our last visit.“

“Thanks Ricardo for your awesome Customer Service and addressing me by my name!“

“We used Margherita’s Pizza of Kingsville to cater our daughter’s birthday party and everyone raved about how good the food was! We had chicken parmigiana, Caesar salad and rolls that were all amazing but the absolute hit of the party was the Crab Chesapeake Pasta! It was to die for! There was so many giant chunks of crab meat! And it all just came together perfectly with the sauce! Everyone asked where we got it from and when I was packing up the leftovers, I even had some guests ask if they could take a little bit home too! Highly recommend!“

“I made a large carry out order to celebrate my Dad's 89th birthday. The team at Ledo's did a great job making sure that everything was ready to go on time. The food was great, the order was accurate, and the team did a great job making sure I was a satisfied customer. Kudos to Ledo's.“

“Food did not disappoint Staff was very friendly Favorites chicken momos , pizza fries, Greek pizza and gyros. I will be back next time I visit Maryland“

“Every time we come our waitress Sue gives us the ultimate dining experience. She has been the best waitress I’ve ever had anywhere. The food is always exceptional, and by far the most delicious seafood around here. Always a perfect 5 star ⭐️“

“We ordered 8 pizza’s, an 11 soups. For a friendly company luncheon in Baltimore, everyone could not get over how beautiful and delicious the pizza and the soup were, this is a company I work with. We always support our local businesses plus we eat there personally. Thank you Pat’s pizza in Bel- Air for being one of the best. 👍❤️“

“I’m a pizza snob 100% and I’d have to give this place 5 stars!!! I work for Harford county parks and Rec and we used this place for a work party. When I heard the prices I was expecting not so good pizza and I was completely mistaken. The pizza toppings were huge and NOT greasy at all. We got several different kinds of pizzas and they were all great. I was told the staff was very friendly and that’s hard to find anymore. Thank you and I will be back on my own time to get some grub!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!“

“I had the best 60th birthday lunch with my Mom yesterday. Our food was amazing. My Mom raved about the California burger and sweet potato fries. I loved the beets which are my favorite item on the menu. The birthday dessert was delicious and decadent. Our waiter was awesome! An overall 10+ experience. Thank you!“

“Hosted a baby shower for my daughter at The Tower. I could not have asked for more, AJ was great!! The food was phenomenal and the drinks were perfect! If you are looking for a venue, I highly recommend The Tower!!“
