50 Best Italian Restaurants near Perry Hall

“This is a very good, local family, Italian restaurant that has other locations, possibly 4-5, plus other informal dining options called Lib's Grill. Four of us started out with the calamari and brussel sprouts. Actually, we started with cocktails. I was disappointed they were out of Hendricks ginfora martini. [How does that happen?(Rhetoric question)]. I settled for Bombay Sapphire. My wife had eggplant Parmesan and I had spicy, shrimp fra diovolo(sp.?) All the entrées were delicious and prepared perfectly. We finished with a dessert and coffee.“

“Our family of six enjoyed a delicious and beautifully prepared dinner at Cafe Campli recently. Every dish was intentional and on-point - created and presented with a lot of love, care, and attention to detail - and, looking appetizing and ready-to-eat rather than over-stylized. The flavors impressed! In every meal, the ingredients were fresh and high quality, and the flavors superb. The house-made pastas and sauces were exceptional - creatively prepared and perfectly approachable. I particularly enjoyed the chickpea fritters appetizer; but the burrata was equally impressive. The accompaniments to the meal - roasted carrots, broccolini, and salads - were at the peak of freshness and flavor - served at absolutely the right temperature and doneness and dressed masterfully to accentuate the quality of the vegetables. And, the desserts! I will be back! My affogato was served exactly as it should be - a rich, aromatic double espresso poured over a generous serving of salted caramel gelato in a clear glass cup. The aromas and tastes of both the espresso and gelato, as well as the integrity of the scoops of gelato, "held" until the very last sip of this very special dessert drink. One of the best, if not the best, espressos I have enjoyed at a restaurant. The other desserts were just as remarkable. Serving the cannoli on an extra "little pillow" of cannoli cream was absolutely the right touch - luxurious and special. The limoncello cake and the bomboloni were equally impressive. Our server made us feel immediately at home and took very good care of us throughout the meal. Thank you, thank you! I loved the laid back vibe and intimacy of the cafe, which allowed for an amazing dining experience without fussiness and unnecessary fanfare. Some truly lovely wines, cocktails, mocktails, beers, and 0-proof creations, as well. Thank you, Cafe Campli, for putting people first and preparing all your dishes with such love! A+++. 100%. I can't wait to come back! NancyVegetarian options: Three of the six main dishes ordered by my family were vegetarian and fabulous. Homemade pastas and sauces; risotto; vegetables at the peak of freshness; salads; fresh breads; excellent vegetarian appetizers; and, creatively prepared vegetarian accompaniments.“

“Popped in for lunch and it was amazing. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and it was not your typical chicken salad. This was AMAZING! I recommend trying it. The bread was so fresh and tasty. I can't wait to go back. I enjoyed everything this spot had to offer. There are only two downsides:1. I didn't take any pictures2. I didn't get dessertI regret both! But now I have a reason to go back ;)“

“Let’s get one this straight! This is the SPOT! The experience began with me running behind for my reservation because I-95 traffic is a..well we all know..so in calling the restaurant to alert them my first taste of Marta was Nick, who answered the phone in such a warm and friendly manner I felt welcomed even before my arrival! Now I will say parking is a challenge..but rise up to this challenge..be persistent..because once you’re safely parked you will reap amazing culinary rewards. The space itself..it beautifully done..muted colors and comfortable seating seem to say “ sit..get comfortable and get ready for a great time” Our server Michael was a JOY. Just as important as the food, is the service, Michael made sure that we were comfortable, answering all questions and providing excellent recommendations when they were asked for. No one could have asked for a better tour guide to lead our Marta experience..when making reservations..request him..I promise you won’t be disappointed. Appetizers! Tuna Cannoli..if you think you know tuna..I’m here to say NAW! This dish was whimsical and full of flavor. The tuna was fresh and prefect encased in a light cannoli shell..the sesame seeds tied the whole dish together for me perfectly. Beef tartare(my personal favorite) vibrant color and palate pleasing flavors! I like the addition of beets in place of the traditional capers. Even my one friend who hates beets agrees that it brought a great element to this dish. Oysters! Perfectly briny and chilled expertly the pink peppercorn granita was Everything! Entrees: I enjoyed the Agnolotti which was a fall themed plate of warm comfort food! The spiced squash and apple stuffed pasta was so flavorful..but just when you thought it couldn’t get better, BOOM! Brown butter sage sauce! Please do yourself a favor..make your reservation to enjoy this dish before it goes away..you won’t regret it. The risotto my friend enjoyed with the meatballs from the antipasti menu was creamy and honestly had me making my next reservation in my head so I could enjoy it all by myself! Saffron Brodo, Aged Parmesan, bring this dish home! He couldn’t stop raving about the meatballs and I know they must have been great because he didn’t share..lol My dear friend ordered the Panzotti featuring stuffed Duck and Foie Gras! All components of this dish worked together to create perfection! Wine list..well thought out and composed. When our initial choice was temporarily unavailable, cue Nick with a perfect recommendation for an alternative bottle! Desserts..we ordered them all..don’t judge..lol..we couldn’t decided..lol..and you only live once! In addition to ordering them all..you bet the 3 of us finished them all too! So no further details required..I just suggest you make sure to save room for at least one of these sweet temptations..really any one..you won’t regret it! So this concludes my most epic review..of a most epic experience! Thank you Marta..it was truly wonderful!“

“This was my first visit to Carrabba's for some time. What a GREAT choice!! I had one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten (chicken Bruchette) and the yummiest pasta salad, which was recommended by our WONDERFUL server (Francis). I brought home a piece of Tiramisu (also a recommendation). This is my favorite dessert and I couldn't have been more pleased!! WOW! WOW!! and did I say WOW!!! Can't wait to go back. Thanks for being the best server ever Francis!!Parking: No problem in Overlea“

“I wish we found this place sooner!From the moment we walked in, we could tell it was family owned. We were greeted immediately and given time to check out the menu. The Tango was exactly as described and the sub roll was toasted perfectly. My SO destroyed her Adriano.To top it all off the chocolate mousse cake was incredibly smooth and delicious as well as the Lemoncello cake. No pics of the cake due to how amazing they were!Will absolutely be coming back to try more!“

“We had a great dinner here! The decor was very pretty and the atmosphere was great. The service was extremely fast! The food was so good! We ordered the garlic bread and two pasta dishes and all were great!!Parking: The Little Italy Parking Garage was nearby and cheap.“

“food and drinks were both great - delicious (and reasonably priced!) pizza, and i'm from new jersey so i know what im talking about. espresso martini had nice boozy coffee flavor. ambience was fun and the staff was super friendly. if you like pizza or italian food you gotta check it out!“

“so this place always has people moving in and out. the food is very good so it is worth the money. food comes out fast enough it dont matter if u eat there or take out. if i was to be honest....not a fan of the name, sounds too cheaply or something.“

“Limoncello always delivers. They always have outstanding service with very patient waiters. The food is outstanding, and the wine menu is as well. Their wines by the glass are very approachable and no matter which price point you choose, all of the varietals have been well selected. Have been a few times and will definitely keep coming back.“

“Me and my family having been eating in Little Italy over 50 years .Ordered pick up and was surprisingly shocked that some type of Italian bread does nt come with Spaghetti ,offered garlic bread at additional $4 .Won't be going back.Also person at door who I paid had an attitude that certainly was nt customer friendly“

“Stopped by to check out the subs here. This is only a few minutes away from the ballpark and a great place to pick up a sub on the way to the game. We had the Real Italian and totally enjoyed it. It was more than enough for my wife and I to share. There is ample parking at a public lot nearby.“

“Baltimore is Little Italy has a new bright shining star! Recently purchased by a young chef from Sardinia Italy, La Tavola, fresh new dishes and exciting menu. Native dishes from Sardinia like cuguliones And others highlight the attention to detail in their exciting new kitchen! I highly recommend this restaurant for their excellent food and remarkable service. Ron don’t walk to La Tavola.“

“We had a lovely family dinner at Verde. We are vegetarian and had plenty of delicious choices! I am trying to watch my diet and was able to have a gorgeous fig and arugula salad! The ambience is fun and casual. Drinks were great. We'll definitely be back! Thanks Verde staff and especially our server Darwin for a lovely meal!“

“I have to start off by saying Mrs Grace's wings are so very good. The food here is just good. So whatever you order you'll like. I couldn't imagine anything leaving that kitchen bad. The service. We were made to feel as if we were long time customers. (we are not) It's totally worth a two hour drive from anyone's home who likes the real deal. And if you're traveling. It's an easy on and off the highway.“

“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.“

“Pizza came out fast, staff was amazing, and the pizza was amazing! The brick oven cooked the pizza so fast, great crust and under carriage. The pepperoni is not your standard pepperoni, it is huge slices. A must try if you're in the area! Dave Portnoy would be impressed!“

“I love, love, love this place and they're food. Their prices are reasonable, everything is homemade, and the flavor and authenticity is amazing for Italian food. I am Italian myself, so eating something so close to what my Nana made is delicious. Good job, guys!“

“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!“

“Y’all this is THE PLACE! Where your bartender is your wine menu. Becca is our favorite and she always gives us a wine we love. We usually come here for some Italian wine but we finally ate here as well. We had the cheese ravioli and the drunken pasta special which was AMAZING (and only made once a year). You’ll never go wrong at this place, we almost hate giving our local secret away!“

“It was the only place open to get some food late. Got a slice of pizza and a drink. They don't hold back on the vodka here! The drink was good. Definitely would go back.Vegetarian options: Got a side salad that came with some cheese bread it was really good.“

“This was one of my favorite meals I’ve ever had. The service was exceptional from beginning to end. The restaurant is elegantly decorated but not flashy. The wine pairings with each course was a wonderful touch and everything matched beautifully. The highlights were definitely the carbonara, the scallops, and the tiramisu, but every we ate was excellent. If you are looking for a place for a birthday, fancy date night, or anniversary, this is an excellent option right by the water.“

“We had a small party here, 25 people. Food great, service fantastic. Not too fancy, just right for a casual get-together. Good variety on the menu, large portions. We had a great time and would highly recommend for lunch, dinner or a small garnering.“

“Probably the best pizza in baltimore. Completely old school, no pretentions. Best part has to be their dough - expertly fermented for a thin crust with lots of crumb. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Make sure you tip well - gems like this place are harder and harder to find in Baltimore.Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot out front just off belair rd.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, small curb but accessible.“

“One of the truly special Italian restaurants remaining in Little Italy. Apart from consistently great food, the staff clearly work as a team to provide exceptional service. It’s an experience to here Peggy review the daily specials in a way that makes you feel as if your sitting for a tasting menu. Great Place!!“

“My boyfriend and I always get the Margherita pizza and it's so good. It's pretty consistent too. Only downside is that it's small :/ I've had one of the pasta dishes and it was amazing. We got the cheese fries and they were ok, nothing special. The staff is very tentative and checks on you enough. I love the ambiance there and I think it would be a nice spot in the summer since they have outdoor seating in the back.“

“First time in this part of town. Stopped in for dinner after my son’s baseball game. The food was really good! Kids and adults loved their pasta. Bread was warm and soft. Plenty of inside seating. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Can order carry out or dine in and eat. Wish it was closer to home so we could enjoy time after time! Def recommend this place if you are looking for reasonably priced Italian food.Parking: Plenty of parking available. Free lot.Kid-friendliness: They have chicken tenders, Mac and cheese bites, plus any pasta in a smaller size“

“Solid American style Italian food. All the food was solid, full of American Italian staples, and a good spot if you are in the mood for pasta. If you just came back from Naples or Florence and want the real thing though it's probably not the place I would point you. That being said it could have partially been what we ordered since the lasagna and the linguini with clams were standout dishes so if you find yourself here try them.“

“We really like the pizza and salads from Angelino's. The one thing I don't like about this restaurant is that it is not accessible to anyone who cannot walk on steps. This is why I gave the atmosphere only 2 stars. I don't like to frequent businesses which are not accessible to all. So I only order from here very infrequently because of that.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair friendly. Not accessible unless you can navigate stairs. No ramp. Has steps to enter.“

“I've been here several times and this place is the best around. Being from NJ/NY I was always searching for the best pizza. After 12 years I finally found a local place that is the bomb! I never thought I'd find it in the Harford Mall. The owner is always making sure you're satisfied and he keeps the place very clean. If you like really good pizza and subs give this place a try. The reviews speak for themselves.“

“Reviewing for my husband, a self-proclaimed connoisseur of subs with nearly 55 years experience. His review is, “This is the best Italian Cold-cut I’ve ever had in my life!”The cheesesteaks are also delicious.Quality ingredients make it taste exceptional.“

“We ate here about a week ago on a Friday night. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The waitress was attentive in the beginning, and then, just sort of left us hanging.Rather than asking if we needed anything after we got our entrees (or if we wanted Parmesan cheese on our pasta), she just whizzed by & made a statement to the effect of 'Everything's great, right?' We ordered dessert and waited an extremely long time for it to come with no explanation. She did not seem at all trained on how to provide good customer service. The food was delicious. And, I would love to give them five stars. Unfortunately, I can't do that given that the service was so bad.“

“This place has always been a local favorite of mine, I grew up coming here with my family often as a kid. I hadn’t been in a while and my friends and I remembered the delicious bread and oil they serve. We decided to come for lunch one day last week and this place is even better than I remember! The bread was warm and pairs deliciously with the oil. Everything we had tasted great. Portions were large so we had leftovers. Prices were great. Our server was quick and kind. We definitely want to start coming more often again!“

“My husband and I live in TN and called and spoke with John about an odd request to order some Sour Beef and Dumplings to get to his 104 year old great grandfather, who lives on the eastern shore by Ocean City, where there are no places with good sour beef and dumplings. John was an absolute delight to speak with and he was absolutely happy to help us out. We made arrangements that when one of his family members or employees went out that way for any vacations, they would drop it off to the house for us. Several weeks had gone by, but one day I had received a phone call from John saying that he was going to the beach the following week and would still be happy to prepare the food and drop them off for us. We were so pleased that he remembered and that it was still something that he was willing to do for complete strangers. After that, everything went as planned and not only did he drop them off, but he went inside and showed him how to put it all together. My husband's great grandfather was surprised and so happy, and he loved his food! We will forever appreciate the work this man has done to help our family with this odd request. Thank you so much, John and crew!!“

“From the atmosphere to the food portion sizes this place is what you call Italian!! When you enter you are greeted and sat promptly. My waitress Eve was wonderful!! For appetizers my party of 4 chose:Mozzarella stick and Bruschetta. Main courses:pizza.Prosciutto& Arugula, Pepperoni. Spinach Salmon salad and Angel Hair time Square dinner. Dessert:Tiramistu, Limoncello Madcardone Cake & Cheesecake. All portion size fabulous and delicious. Will definitely return.“

“Wonderful experience all around! The staff was super friendly, welcoming, and made to feel like part of the family when dining in! Some of the best Italian pastries that you’ll come across and the best in Baltimore! Highly recommend stopping by and picking up one of everything!“

“This place was great,the sun was huge and very good wings were good and I’ve never seen a salad so big.. didn’t get the pizza but that looked really good. Next time I’m over that way I’m trying the pizza. The prices were also reasonable.“

“Great pizzaAmazing canollisWe overheard the owner tell some other customers it's named after his dog and I thought that was the cutest thing.Also they have a reserved table for an adorable older lady named Rita who is a regular customerToo sweet. Couldn't recommend enough“

“Our visit to Basta Pasta was admittedly one of pure joy! With a Family friendly atmosphere, we felt welcome and right at home. Their portions are more than plenty for one sitting, which is a welcome surprise. The management is superb. The staff you can tell enjoy their customers. It was truly a delightful experience, we will definitely be coming back.“

“Their pizza is 5/5 stars! I honestly think that this is the best pizza spot in Baltimore County. Their cheese pizza is a true New York style. The cheese and sauce are great. They have a nice little seating area in the restaurant. Whenever we eat in person it is quiet and the staff are very nice. I have also ordered takeout through DoorDash multiple times and it always arrived fresh. I highly recommend this place to other New York style pizza enthusiasts.“

“Ive been coming here since around 1999 or 2000, & im still in love w this restaurant & the owner & staff are so kind, i feel like family when i come & only wish i still lived a few blocks away, i would probably still order a few x a week, but now living out of the area we go whenever in town, tonight we hope to go again, since our son had a dr appt close by. i miss the full menu, but pizza is definitely good enough to keep me coming back. & they kept the good french fries too lol i love the fries & tenders, & looovvee the tiramisu, i love everything honestly lol“

“The food was delicious. Michael takes PRIDE in his establishment, and so do his employees. They all treat you with respect and kindness. And courteous. I am looking forward to returning real soon. Thank you, Michael, for all that you do. You help strengthen the community. Your friend, Don, Former John's Hopkins University employee. Take care!Parking: There is plenty of space. Just visit. You will see. Clean.“

“I've been here a handful of times and I feel confident about writing a review. It's only based on pizza and fries. I've had the veggie pizza, cheese pizza, and fries. The cheese pie is consistently good. I will say if you get 3-4 slices of pizza that will run you about $12-$16 bucks and for that price you might as well order a whole pizza. The veggie slice I had was ok. It had diced tomatoes, broccoli, and spinach. It wasn't bad but I don't think I will get it again. I could've done without the diced tomatoes and spinach. It was a little on the bland side for me and I think onions and mushrooms would've given it a better taste and texture. Overall good food and customer service!“

“We enjoyed the crab cakes, which were large and delicious. The prices here are more reasonable than at Timbuktu Restaurant. Our server was attentive and checked on us frequently even though she was busy with 4 tables. The only setback that this location is a far from us and wished they open a location near us. But it is still worth the drive!“

“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.“

“I've been going here since I found them in 2011. Food is good, drinks r good and its reasonably priced. I love their pizza. I love this place. Please don't bring yalls kids, I SAID adults only ? it's a bar lol .. They do have a carryout side that has tables for dine in. I'm sure the kids can sit there “

“I come here after enough for the workers to vaguely remember me and I've got to say..this place is one of, if not the best, places to get carryout in Towson. The wings and pizza are great every time and the other foods I've had have been pretty decent as well.You know exactly the type of carry out food this is, and Michaelangelo's is probably the best at it.“

“Treat yourself - it's an amazing place with welcoming vibe. There is incredible architecture and decor paired with savvy ambiance. We felt so comfortable there in a nice sweater for me and he was wearing a 1/4 zip. The whole staff and team work like well oiled machined - you can tell everyone gets along and the service flows so well. The menu is incredible- get the AC meatballs! Yum and yes! We shared a few apps and the trofie alla gennovese which neither one of us had before (pasta dish). So good!!“

“Oh my goodness, that is what comes to mind when I think about Margheritas pizza. Everyone was friendly. The service was wonderful. The pizza We bought the spaghetti pizza if you have never had it, it is a must it is great fresh and it is even better after you take it home and heat it in the oven the next day. This is one pizzeria that I will put on my top three, with it being number one. I have been there once but I will be back again and again. I want to thank the owners for everything. I will tell you it is a small place with a big heart. That is why I gave them a five star all a round. Thank you“

“All of the half subs are a very good size. They are even shareable with fries. My favorite song is the shrimp cheese steak. Deliveries are relatively fast. Take out is pretty fast also. They have good combination deals. My go to carryout.Parking: Shopping center parking. Very accessible to the public. Wheelchair accessible. Well lit.“
