“Sotto Sopra has quickly become my favorite Italian restaurant. The food is marvelous as is the atmosphere and service👌🏻. I especially adore the Polenta Fritta Bergamot appetizer, the Pumpkin Pasta entrée, and the Pistachio Tiramisu dessert. The ambiance and decor are perfection. I can’t wait to come back for dinner on an opera night! We are lucky to have such an all-around exquisite restaurant in Baltimore. Grazie mille, Sotto Sopra! 🇮🇹🍝“

“Great little Italian restaurant. Great food, small Italian atmosphere, very good prices. I would highly recommend it 👍“

“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.“

“I stopped by for a quick lunch on sunday. Was in and out in less than 40 minutes. Asia was my server, very friendly and made sure I was taken care of quickly. The new Champagne Shrimp option was extra good that day.“

“First time here. Excellent food and ambiance! I got a drink and fettuccine Alfredo. Delicious. Everyone who works here is very nice as well. Huge space- they have space for events as well“

“One of my favorite places in the city.“

“My wife and I went here and could not have chosen a better spot. They call themselves, by them, I mean Amedeos (the Dad) and his delightful daughter, Becca a Wine Bar. It's much more than that. A quaint little Trattoria with about 5 tables and a long bar with about 10 seats turns this establishment into a full comfort zone with excellent food, wine, customer service & interactions with other patrons.
Amedeos and Becca are lovely people.“

“Cinghiale is one of our favorite restaurants. A wonderful place with fantastic food and a great staff.“

“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.“

“Our first visit and we will definitely be back!!! Service from Jennifer D. was excellent and set the tone for the rest of the meal. Food was outstanding.“

“We are visiting from Canada. We received fantastic service and the food was incredible. The restaurant even helped us get back to our hotel when the cab didn't show up as our phones weren't working. Thank you Abigail and the hostess (unfortunately I can't remember her name). They ended our evening on a positive note which won't be forgotten 🤗. 5 stars.“

“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“

“The food was delicious and we had an outstanding server. Looking forward to returning another time.“

“Great place ! All we ordered was absolutely deliciously and perfectly cooked ! Staff is very friendly and highly professional ! Thank you so much for great evening !“

“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“

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

“What an outstanding experience for my nephew's 18th birthday! This was our first time visiting Cu Vino. Our server, Alejandro, was very welcoming and attentive. He was charming and provided flawless, timely service. We enjoyed the Cozze Coperti, Calamari Capri, and Crocchette di Patate. All were fresh and flavorful. The outer coating of the Crochette di Patate had a notably perfect crunch and the garlicky wine sauce served with the Cozze Coperti was lovely. The Calamari Capri was tender with a crisp coating. For entrees, we enjoyed the Carbonara and a spare rib special with cherry tomatoes, served with gravy and layered with mashed potatoes. The special was herby and felt pleasantly light for a meat-and-potatoes dish. The Carbonara, however, was everyone's favorite of the evening. We were instantly obsessed. We took dessert to-go and have yet to try it, but the Zeppoli, Chocolate Chip Cannoli, and Tiramisu all look as though they will match the perfection of our earlier meal. Looking forward to visiting again!“

“We ordered pizza almost every Friday night when I was growing up in Catonsville. Excellent food and service.“

“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!!!“

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

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

“All of the food we had was spectacular and one-of-a-kind; cocktails, focaccia, beef tartare, honey nut squash, pasta… the service was impeccable and the restaurant had a lovely ambiance. I’ve recommended this restaurant to all of my foodie friends and we will definitely be back!“

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

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

“Emily was our server and James delivered
Our food, as someone who worked in restaurants for 10+ years this is some of the best service I’ve ever received. Love the food as well, every detail was perfect but it’s rare you see a served that provides everything before you have to ask, can’t wait to come back

Parking: Lots of spots nearby

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kid meal choices“

“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.“

“Ordered take out to try to fina a great Stromboli. This is the best Stromboli ever! They even look beautiful! Also super nice people! Can't wait to dine in here sometime with my family. We are always on the go but we are going to make time to eat in!“

“7 members of our family stopped here while visiting Baltimore. We had pizza & wings and all was good and done right. Our waitress, Lauren was attentive, was very friendly, curious and also a bit witty! If in Baltimore it is worth looking this establishment up!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The big cheese has been around for as long as I can remember… the price is right and the food is outstanding.

As I devoured their food… the only negative thing I can come up with is please cut this giant cheesesteak in half. Man I’m full but the mess I made on my table is crazy. 😂“

“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.“

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

“On weekend trip to aquarium and came here after reading reviews cuz the grandkid wanted pasta. Arrived about 7 and got the last table. Server quickly arrived for drink order then manager came quickly behind to take the food order. Though he was moving things along, we did not feel rushed. Food was great! Half order of spaghetti with one giant meatball was perfect for our 12 year old granddaughter. Italian and cheesesteak subs were big and we each only ate half. If you get the side salad, you better like parm (we do!). Great draft beer selection including IPAs.“

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

“Always friendly service. Subs and pizza are the best in the area. Try your sub on their homemade focaccia bread. Yum.“

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

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

“Price and quality excellent definitely i will return excellent customer service.“

“Their food was very good and the cashier (young guy) was super nice! He checked in on us regularly and worked hard with a positive attitude. I would recommend this place for anybody who wants a good quality meal with their friends or family with reasonable prices and a well kept atmosphere. They also have a good deal on Mondays and Tuesdays.“

“Brought the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had this morning from them it was a sausage egg and cheese on a sub roll and the spicy sausage with the eggs and cheese it was just AWESOME this place never disappoints and I love getting sandwiches from here! 5 star rating!“

“They did that thing, all the food that we ordered was on point. The chicken wings were done perfectly , the salad was fresh. The stromboli and the pita was prepared just right. They did above and beyond excellent, and I our plan to return again“

“The best gluten free pizza I have ever had. Amazing.“
