“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!!“

“A New Chapter for a Beloved Spot — Amadeo’s Shines Under New Ownership

Amadeo’s in Baltimore City has officially reopened under new ownership, and it’s already a standout. Run by husband-and-wife duo Brenna and Daniel (“Chef Danny”), this refreshed gem in Little Italy blends warmth, flavor, and hospitality in all the right ways.

From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. The space is cozy and inviting, and the table service—led by Brenna herself—was personal and attentive. She even crafted a few of our drinks, which were phenomenal. Dave, the bartender was also incredible warm, sociable and made delicious cocktails. I had the house Negroni and a dirty martini—both perfectly balanced—while my husband enjoyed a couple of their thoughtfully curated wines by the glass.

The food? Absolutely incredible. We started with the squash crostini, Caesar salad, and shrimp cocktail—each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The crostini was a standout: hearty, seasonal, and layered with texture and taste.

For mains, we shared the mezze maniche in a simple red sauce that was anything but basic—rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. The sausage and polenta was a revelation. I’ve never been a polenta fan, but this dish changed my mind. Creamy, flavorful, and paired with a sausage that had just the right amount of heat.

We ended the night with a couple of digestivos and couldn’t resist trying both dessert options. Let’s just say: save room. You’ll want to experience every last bite.

What makes Amadeo’s truly special is the heart behind it. Brenna and Daniel have created more than a restaurant—they’ve built a space that honors tradition while inviting the community into something new. With incredible food, fair prices, and a genuine sense of hospitality, Amadeo’s is a must-visit. We’ll absolutely be back“

“We held our School Spirit Night at Remo’s earlier this week. Our students and their families had a great time and Remo’s gave a generous donation back to our school PTA. We are so thankful to have them in the neighborhood!“

“Great Food , friendly staff, great parking cant beat it .Love this place !!“

“Just had the lasagna. Excellent with lots of ooey gooey cheese. Highly recommend trying this.“

“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.“

“I've been eating steaks for decades. It took 40 years to find the best steak in....well...actually the world (because I've had steaks from Taiwan to Bogota) right here at Tagliata. It was the best.“

“Shout out to Basta Pasta - Fallston !!!!! They brought the family Halloween fun to their restaurant! The kids could not stop talking about all the cool Halloween decore! Food was delicious and we r still talking about the pumpkin cheese cake! Definitely get the pumpkin cheese cake! 😌 🎃🎃🎃“

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

We hosted the welcome dinner for our wedding here in Little Italy, with over 90 guests, and it could not have been a better experience. From the very first planning conversation to the final toast, everything was absolutely flawless.

Luca was a total joy to work with — easily one of the most fun parts of wedding planning! He made the whole process effortless and full of personality. The team handled our large group with ease, and every single guest left happy, full, and raving about the food.

The kitchen did an outstanding job accommodating food allergies and dietary needs without sacrificing flavor or presentation. Every dish and drink was top-notch — you can taste the quality and care in every bite.

It was the perfect way to kick off our wedding celebrations in Baltimore. We’re so grateful to Luca and the team for giving us such a memorable, joy-filled night. Highly recommend for any special event (or honestly, any night you want amazing Italian food and great hospitality)! 🇮🇹❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“We went for a girls brunch today and it was such a great vibe. Wonderful DJ, Espresso Martini Bar and just overall chill vibes. We loved it and can’t wait to be back! Service was great and food was good!“

“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!“

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

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

“Really like this restaurant, but the Rewards program is not what they say. $5 off coupon is no good. They said use it after it expires. Yeah right.“

“I had a wonderful experiencia at Romano's pizzaría! The food was absolutely delicious,the prices are great and the place is clean. What stood out the most was the customer service. The Cashier was super friendly and welcoming and even brought my orden out to my car! Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Arguably the best pizza in Baltimore full stop. Great cheese, perfect crust, fresh delicious not sweet sauce, creative and flavorful toppings everything you could want. Yes, it's a little pricy, but worth the extra $7/pie more than most other pizzas.“

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

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

“Really like this restaurant, but the Rewards program is not what they say. $5 off coupon is no good. They said use it after it expires. Yeah right.“

“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“

“Cute spot for a chill date night. The food, drinks and service were all good. I also enjoyed the music; it was Top 100 Pop music. We ordered a medium pizza that we finished. The “small” Caesar salad was big enough for 2. We ordered the sangria “on fire” so it came in a metal branded cup with a tiny cup of fire in the middle for +$2. Cute. We also ordered a beef lasagna to go, it was good and I appreciate there wasn’t any pork in it. I’ll come back.“

“Costiera is small, inviting, and absolutely worth a visit. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out as impeccable. The staff was attentive without ever hovering, quick with suggestions, and made us feel genuinely taken care of.

When we walked in, there were two tables available right away, but they asked if we’d mind waiting just a minute so they could seat us at a much better window table. That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way these days, and we really appreciated it. Our server checked in often, was kind, and gave fantastic recommendations that made us feel like we ordered the very best of the menu.

The food was excellent across the board. The pasta was perfectly cooked and tasted even better than it looked. The octopus was a standout dish—tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything we tried was balanced, well-executed, and memorable.

All in all, we had a flawless experience here. Costiera delivers on service, food, and atmosphere. Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for something a little different done really well.“

“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“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Let me be clear — this isn’t just an Olive Garden. This is the Olive Garden. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt like I walked into excellence. The greeting was warm, the energy was right, and the service? On point from start to finish.

Now let me talk about Anita — hands down one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had, anywhere. She didn’t just bring food, she brought an experience. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being fake, and smooth with every detail. She made me feel like royalty — like I was the only person in the building.

The food? Flawless. Hot, fresh, seasoned like somebody’s Italian grandma was in the back cooking with love. I haven’t been to Olive Garden in a long time, but this meal reminded me why I ever came in the first place. And I drove 45 minutes just to get here — and I’d do it again tomorrow.

I travel all over the country and hit Olive Gardens in different states — but this location right here? Best in the game. They’re not just serving pasta. They’re serving consistency, care, and class.

If you're thinking about where to eat — stop thinking. Come here. Trust me. This spot doesn’t just meet expectations. It resets them.“

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

“We had dinner reservations at another local restaurant, and when we showed up, they booked it for the wrong night and could not accommodate us. I called Libatore’s and they were able to seat our large party within 20 minutes. They were super helpful and super accommodating and our server. Emma was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved their meals and their drinks…such a great place..“

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

“Their pizza is the best! Especially their tomato broccoli pizza.“

“This was my 1st order from Pizza Sauce... I ordered two breakfast bowls and let me tell you they are huge! Easily enough to feed 4 adults. Fast delivery. Super tasty. And great prices!“

“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!“

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

“Just a great old school Italian restaurant. Meal was fantastic. People very friendly. I highly recommend.“
