50 Best Italian Restaurants near Parkville

“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!!“

“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.“

Service was Great ( perfect ) Started with Espresso martini ( best I ever had ) Crab soup absolutely delish topped with lots of lump crab meat. No shells. We shared Shrimp Gondola ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING. Shrimp on toasted baguette bread with simply delicious cream sauce. ( a definite must try) Hubby got pizza with mushroom n sausage. WoW!! I ordered Grilled Chicken Pesto Panni , which came with fries or mixed greens( I opted for mixed greens ) I will have to update on taste because I could not even take a bite of panini. I did eat the greens which were also delish. Do yourself a favor try this place. We will definitely be back. Yes it's a two hrs drive but worth it. Cheers to entire staff.

“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“

“Had found the place by accident roaming around the night before and ordered a chicken sandwich that was AWESOME! So decided on it for the pizza, highly recommend, the following night while roaming again. Started speaking with a older woman behind the bar who is part owner and she was so delightful and informativ of the area of Little Italy and told me of some of the history associated with the area. Such a great experience for an out of stater to have.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Huge portions and very tasty!! Loved the turkey club and Italian cold cut. Excellent value! All the staff we were very nice and friendly. Food was ready fast and made carefully.“

“CuVino for the catering win!! We celebrated a 95th birthday yesterday and had ordered the whole lasagna tray, and 2 half tray salads. Everything was prepped and presented beautifully. The lasagna and salad portions were generous and their recipe was perfectly balanced with meat, cheese, noodles and sauce. And then the perfect bake with crispy edges! When I saw that bread was included in the lasagna order, I noted it but didn’t think much more about it. The tray of fresh and warm yeast rolls was the icing on the cake!! And so plentiful that we passed them around before we started dinner. I think our 8 grandchildren were responsible for eating half the tray but there was more than enough for everyone.
CuVino is our go-to for Italian cuisine from now on!! Many thanks to the whole team.“

“My husband and I were looking for a good meal slightly out of the chaos of Fells Point and stumbled upon this most delicious Italian restaurant. Chef John recommended the Rigatoni alla Vodka with shrimp and it was everything. My husband always particular about seafood felt the shrimp was cooked to perfection. We also had the Buratta as an App and took a Tiramisu to go and enjoy later. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable meal with excellent service. We will be back. If you are looking for an excellent meal in a beautiful environment I recommend it.“

“excellent pizza! love the option of buying by the slice! I will definitely be back and will be recommending this place!“

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

“We were in town for a family celebration, and Gastro Social really came through for us. The staff could not have been kinder and more attentive, and the food was terrific. As for drinks, some in our party had the sangria, which they loved!“

“Great service and great food! my bestie and I come here every month for their monthly wine and dinner meals. Each month there may be a 5 or 6 course meal: each is a different theme and different food/drink/wine pairing. The service is always good and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Omar is the manager who typically hosts the dinner and describes each portion of the meal and makes the evening engaging and entertaining. They even have a raffle for interesting prizes and baskets, still hoping to win!!!!!!. There is a chance to order a meal to go for $10 bucks! Book your reservation today!

May 2026:

Coming here once a month is my tradition with my girlfriend for the wine and dinner themed meals. Sometimes they have bourbon or other spirits. The staff are always friendly and accommodating which makes the experience even more enjoyable. For the month of May the theme was based on movie night more specifically on the work of Francis Ford Coppola a filmmaker. One of the leading figures of the New Hollywood, Coppola is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. He also has a successful wine business. The meal featured his wines and we got an apron with his name on it. The 4 course meal featured creamy tarragon shrump bruschetta, linguine sostanza with grilled chicken, Tuscan grilled fillet with crab scampi and for dessert… a yummy chocolate walnut brownie with ice cream. Everything was delicious and of course you have the option to order anything off the menu to go for an additional 10 bucks. See you at the next one!!! June 2026 will feature 2 dinners!“
