“We celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday at Sotto Sopra last night and had the best experience! we were met by name at the door! Given prosecco when we arrived at our table! Had a delicious 3 course meal. And then dessert with sparkler! The atmosphere was amazing - beautiful decor, clean, perfect acoustics so you could hear and talk, but also wonderful selection of music playing in the background. And our waiter was just amazing and so attentive and friendly! Perfect restaurant for your special occasion! I cant wait to go back! Thank you for making our daughter's birthday so special!“

“New owners. Everything was delicious. All of the waiters’s mission is to make sure you have the best time possible and they succeed. The salciccia plate was a favorite. The watercress salad was crispy and refreshing- def try it! Short rib pasta hit the spot. Focaccia is well worth ordering. Delicious blackberry bramble mocktail and Sangiovese wine. Intimate space, no reservations. Check them out!“

“I love how some things never change, like how certain restaurants are always good. Cinghiale is one of them“

“We never have a bad experience ordering from Rincon, and our most recent order didn’t disappoint. While most places are raising their prices and lowering the amount of food you get, we noticed a slight increase in prices ($1 for my eggplant parm, and a few dollars for crab cakes), we unquestionably actually got MORE food. My eggplant parm was 3 large meals, and the crab cakes were huge, and full of big pieces of crab meat. Definitely the best deal in town.“

“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.“

“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“

“We love our Chef P Fridays! The Chef P family makes it feel like home and the food is always delicious! A Catonsville landmark!“

“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“

“Place was great! Got bbq wings and a heart shaped pizza. Now im from new jersey, so ive had new york & new jersey pizza... Man let me tell you id rank this pizza up there with the best of the best. Sauce was delicious. I would highly recommend anyone to come here if your in the area. 10 outa 10.“

“Great local place, really good food and casual friendly atmosphere“

“Fabulous food made fresh from scratch with organic ingredients.“

“I'm new to the area, never heard of this place til last week. WOW is all I can say, everything was perfect! The staff (especially our fantastic waitress-Emily) were wonderful. Now, the food, It couldn't have been any better. We had crisp, fresh salads, Veal Parm, Cajun Chicken Pasta. The dishes were way more than adequate in size and were prepared perfectly, so very delicious. We enjoyed the rest of the dishes at home the next night. Can't wait to go back to try other dishes. What a find!!!“

“Stopped in to grab a drink and some to-go food for the family. The bar is smaller but amply sized for a full array of drink choices and local regulars who were all welcoming and friendly. The bartender is a professional and clearly takes pride in his craft. The food was excellent and everyone loved their choices.“

“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.“

“We have been trying restaurants in Baltimore since our daughter started med school last Fall. La Tavola will definitely be one of our favorites for the next 4 years! Ambiance is excellent - so adorable inside! The bruschetta was outstanding, and all 3 pastas we tried were delicious! Wine, martini, and a mocktail were all terrific! Cannot wait to return!“

“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!“

“Always a great experience. Great food. Great service. We always stop by when we are in the area.“

“Fantastic food, industrial, chic decor, superb service and Judy is fabulous. You simply must dine in this fantastic establishment.“

“The food was great!! and always will be,almost as good as it was when I worked there over 15yrs ago.“

“The service has improved, the food is very good especially the meatballs and chicken but the atmospheres got worse. The atmosphere wasn't good the last time I was here years ago but now there rips the the seats and the dining room looks like something out of a horror movie. I am still giving them a 4 out 5 because I will have to consider going out of my way to do carry out even if they are 15 minutes away from my home.“

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

“5s across the board because they made my pizza taste like what I had when I was a kid.
I've had the worst few months of my life and barely eaten a bite since the start of December. I took a chance and ordered a kind of pizza that was nostalgic to me, and this is the first time in a decade I've eaten a slice that tasted like it did when I was small.
Thank you for the food and the amazing prices. I hope to get to come back a lot.“

“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.“

“our office hosted the 2025 holiday party here and had an incredible time! The atmosphere was festive and fun, the dirty martinis were amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Overall, it was a fantastic experience I’ll definitely be coming back <3333“

“T was amazing. I came with my wife last week and I enjoyed her very much. She is funny, personable, and attentive. Not robotic like most waiters are. Food was good. She asked about allergies and even recommended dessert. The chocolate dream ake was delicious. She handled an angry customer very well as he was shouting for a server (very rudely btw). Over all she was wonderful and I can't wait to come back and have her again.“

“Great place staff is great nice drinks“

“I tried to leave a review and it won't post so I will try again. My family and I ate dinner inside on Friday night after seeing the trains. They were extremely busy but to our surprise the food didn't take very long and was just as good as always. Our server (also the manager I believe as she was helping the counter area, as well as getting change for the employees up there) is really why I wanted to write this review. Our son has special needs and wanted HER to pour his apple juice into his cup. Mind you the restaurant is packed and so was carry out, she poured his juice and kept coming around and filling it up a bit more for him throughout our meal. She was so busy but made us feel like the only customers there. She neatly boxed our pizza for us even though she was very busy and I told her she didn't have to do that for us. All in all was a great dinner, Amazing food and fantastic service. They do get very busy and you might wait a bit for a table but it is worth every second of the wait. You won't be disappointed. As far as carry out goes we were sitting right next to the carry out area and the line was across the mall and pizzas stacked on their oven. They were very busy but they seem to get through the line pretty fast so although you might have to wait a few mins to get to where you order the food is worth it. I would watch a man bring up bagged orders and then within a minute our server would check the bags hand certain ones to the people working carry out and yell a number I believe this was to get the people here already waiting their food right away. Seemed like they have a working system for this crazy time. So although the lines seem very long it wasn't bad at all. Our kids also loved the trains. Was the first year they are old enough to really enjoy them and enjoy them they did!“

“Obsessed! Our favs are the mushrooms,brussels, salads, scallops and lasagna. CUTE little market, drool worthy desserts and a beautiful cold counter with cheese, deli and fresh butcher cuts.

All the staff is wonderful, John was so kind to me and my Dad and made lunch so special today during my 30 minute break. THANK YOU SCITTINOS!“

“I eat from here 3 times a week and I always get the same thing, Antipasto salad with grilled chicken IT IS AWESOME.“

“This was my first time food drinks dessert were excellent. The water was tasty as well. I am the pickiest layer and found nothing to complain about. When going on Friday or Saturday get reservations they tend to be extremely busy. I am going back soon“
