39 Best Italian Restaurants near Middle River

“Ordered a meatball sub and fries. And definitely one of the best meatball subs I’ve ever had“

“This restaurant is and always will be my favorite the pizza and subs are to die for that was my place go when I lived in Baltimore now every time I visit thats my place to go“

“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 ⭐️“

“Can’t say enough good things! They handled our large baseball group like pros—so accommodating, amazing food, and the friendliest staff. Truly went out of their way for us. Already planning our next visit!“

“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!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! Every time we go here for dinner, we always enjoy! The staff is friendly and the owner Jerome is awesome! He comes to the table not only to greet you and to make sure everything is okay. He even takes the empty dishes off the table. He’s always helping out around the restaurant. Love this place!!!“

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

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

“With a recent infatuation of fresh made pasta and my love of cozy quaint restaurants, Love, Pomelo was a must try on my list.

I've walked by Love, Pomelo on numerous occasions and never knew that some of the most delicious pasta was being made. I made a reservation for one and took a seat at the bar for the evening. The ambiance invoked a comforting romance novel, dimly lit with soft antique touches.

Since I planned my visit on a Wednesday during happy hour, I was able to not only partake in happy hour, but also their $20 pasta specials. So, I started with a Spritz as my cocktail and some of their broccoli, which I never knew broccoli could be the main focus and taste so damn good. Perfectly seasoned, crisp, and full of garlic flavor. I'm still dreaming of this broccoli. I opted for a red sauce rigatoni pasta with guanciale, and this pasta literally made my soul dance. A little red pepper flakes on the side for heat and I was in heaven. I couldn't end the night without dessert, although I was stuffed. So, I settled on a small serving of Amaro & Gelato. The sweet Amaro liquor poured over two small scoops of real pistachio gelato was the perfect nightcap to a beautiful meal.

Between the fresh made pasta and broccoli, Love, Pomelo has stolen a piece of my heart, to which I cannot wait until my next visit to relive the experience.“

“Ordered off of their catering menu for my wife's birthday. I purchased the Margharita Seafood Special with shrimp, scallops and lump crabmeat in a rose' cream sauce and it was excellent! The homemade meatballs jad everybody raving and their sausage, onions and peppers in marinara sauce was also great. Thankfully we had some left overs that we are still enjoying. Lastly was their Greek salad, very fresh and loaded with feta cheese. I definitely recommend these folks for your next lunch or dinner or when you need an event catered. Call and ask for Saul and he and the staff there will take great care of you!!“

“beautiful restaurant, but the food and service was amazing! highly recommend!!!“

“Delicious breakfast. Thank you so much for your hospitality.“

“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.“

“The food is authentic Italian and delicious!!! Great drinks. The staff is tremendous! Attentive and kind. Shout-out to Raven, Tim and Emilio! Always have leftover!“

“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.“

“Dinner with a large group. Our server, Lisa was great in handling all of our orders.“

“I've been looking for a new carry out in Dundalk, Great pizza and they have the best cheese-steak subs. I love this place“

“Exceptional customer service and the best food in Nottingham! This Italian Delight Sensation truly deserves 5 stars for consistently delivering outstanding experiences.“

“I've enjoyed their outstanding menu for over 15yrs.“

“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!“

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

“This place has great food. professional service and staff. Our waitress Chelsie If I'm not mistaken was her name. was friendly and helpful. Robert was also great“

“I love olive garden so much !!!! Usually I dont know what to get because all of it looks SO good and I want to try something I've never had sometimes and it always ends up good!!! I had gotten a text last night about a free delivery fee code ( OGDELIVERS) which saves me 5 bucks. And I knew immediately that I was ordering olive garden for lunch tomorrow . Originally I was thinking of ordering a bucket of my favorite soup ( zuppa toscana... its SOOOOO GOOD . I love it SO MUCH. I cant eat from OG without having it.) And then just 2 desserts one for later and one for tomorrow ( because i have nothing sweet in my house and dont feel like going anywhere and ik I'll crave a sweet lol) that's all I was going to order ..... But of course it's a womans prerogative to change her mind lol so when I looked at the menu I ended up choosing something I never ordered specifically from olive garden and it was the *CHICKEN TORTELLONI ALFREDO* .. I absolutely LOVE Alfredo . (As long as it's not from a jar from the grocery store, it has to be homemade or atleast tastes homemade). And I dont know what Olive Garden does to their chicken to make it SO DAMN GOOD ...but Its literally DELICIOUS. definitely one of my favorite chickens!! And their are ALOT of different chickens.....lmao. and then instead of having normal chicken alfredo with the classic fettuccine noodles... it's made with asiago cheese filled tortellini. Which is pretty similiar to cheese raviolis. So a chicken alfredo with cheese stuffed tortelloni.... I needed to try that ! And I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY I DID . I TOOK THAT FIRST BITE AND MY EYES INSTANTLY ROLLED INTO THE BACK OF MY EYES AND I SWEAR I WASNT THERE FOR LIKE 3 SECONDS . SO GOOD THAT IT CAUSED AN OUTER BODY EXPERIENCE. . now THAT Is how you know it's good. & OF COURSE between soup or salad, I chose my favorite soup Zuppa Toscana) and it came with 2 bread sticks . This meal was so great. And i was just so happy ... SOO GOOD THAT I HAD TO WRITE THIS REVIEW TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW HOW GOOD IT IS

I know this is a long review and more than most probably skipped right on past mine and continued reading the shorter ones.. but If you did read the entire thing and are still here reading this ..
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!

Buttttttt...... If you've never had their Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo and sounds like something you might enjoy.. DO IT .trust me. you won't regret it!!!“

“Sicilian style pizza was awesome. I hope to go back soon!!“

“Ordered takeout delivery tonight while recovering from complex foot surgery and unable to be on my feet for long—and I’m so glad I did. The food arrived warm, looked absolutely amazing, and tasted just as good as it looked. Every bite was flavorful and clearly thoughtfully prepared. It was exactly what I needed at just the right time. Delicious, satisfying, and beautifully packaged—Frank’s Pasta & Pizza did not disappoint. Highly recommend.“

“excellent food, and service. will definitely return“

“Good dining place, family vibe. Pizza was tasty 😋“

“This place was awesome!!! Both Brianna and Sydney were superrrrrr kind even giving us freebies like extra sauces for our wing because our group of 8 was indecisive on which flavor we wanted. She also did all the calculations for how much each individual would have to pay since we essentially split the order this was super helpful preventing any arguments and miscalculations. They also gave us the best deals without us looking for it on the menu we also took a photo with one of the employees (Brianna) who was super patient and kind the food is also amazing both the wings and the pizza came out nice and hot with the wings crunchy and juice and the cheese on the pizza stringy which was amazing after playin mini golf across the street! GO CHECK IT OUT!“

“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 :)“

“Never been disappointed coming here🔥💯“

“The best pizza on the planet. My family has loved squires since they opened and now that most have moved away from Dundalk, we all make a point to stop by when in town. Its truly the best.“

“Have always had good service and good food the takeout is good and they eat in is good go there quite often thank you“

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

“Always a great lunch! I got the oriental salad. It is awesome! My bestie got the shrimp salad. She raved about how good it tastes! ( I recommended it) great service, Alayna was amazing!“

“Love Tutti Gusti, they were my go to spot for years for pizza and subs when I worked downtown. When I'm in the area visiting friends I still make the pilgrimage for a Saltimbocca Florentina with a side of marinara for dipping. Probably my favorite sandwich ever!“

“the desserts were amazing and my kids loved it“

“Best pizza in the area😋😋 We has lunch that actually supported regulation. 🍕

This visit to Ledo Pizza worked well for our family because the environment stayed calm, quiet, and manageable throughout the meal.

The booths being placed away from the ordering station made a huge difference for sensory regulation by reducing noise, movement, and crowd pressure. The overall pacing of the restaurant felt predictable and not overstimulating.

👉🏾We also appreciated having options like gluten-free choices, which helpa everyone feel included in the experience.

Most importantly, we felt welcomed and not judged while navigating the visit in the way that worked best for our family.

Approved ✔️“
