“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“

“Best dining experience all weekend!“

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

“Excelente , la comida muy rica , muy amables estuvieron pendiente de nuestra mesa en todo momento la comida llego rápido y caliente excelente servicio“

“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.“

“This was a treat; a brief walk from our hotel, and we made the best decision choosing Angeli's for our night out after working at the convention center. Great atmosphere, staff and locals were friendly, interesting, and personable, and our server Kubra was absolute class. Pizza and Sangria was quality. Cheers!“

“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!“

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

“Nicely appointed dining room, attentive and friendly staff. And our pizza was wonderful.“

“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 !“

“A truly special, cozy place. Every member of the staff is personable and really happy to show you the space and talk about the food. The Caesar salad has to be the best in Baltimore. Amadeo’s doesn’t want to be just another Italian restaurant in Little Italy, but a practice of serving people interesting, delicious and comforting meals. It’s a place that you make your next reservation at before you leave.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Food was great , service was great. No complaints.“

“OMGOSH, this place is FABULOUS. Came for lunch after Dr appt best ( lost) decision we made. We will be back. 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. Thanks again Pam n Jerry Wright“

“I was at a birthday catered by Benny’s. The meatballs were outstanding, tender, moist, excellent flavor and the sauce was excellent also! Deep flavors, not strong, with a good texture, without that strong acid, garlicky tomato flavor! Baked pasta was great also! It was good for my tummy also, no reflux, YUMMY 🤗. I highly recommend eating there!!! I’m thinking about ordering for my supper bowl company 👍👍👍👍“

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

“I love getting Vince’s “wine of the day.” So many great options with fair pricing. Sandwiches are very delicious as well.“

“I was at a family event catered by CuVino. Chicken parm and sausage and peppers were delicious as were the 2 salads, brindisi salad and Toscana salad. They provide an incredibly generous supply of homemade rolls as well. I thought the tortellini in rose sauce was a bit bland but others enjoyed it. John and Angel were super helpful and kind in setting everything up. I hope to eat at the restaurant soon as I know the food is excellent!“

“An amazing dining experience with staff that are incredibly kind and go above and beyond! My friends and I went to Costiera to celebrate a friend’s birthday and not only was the food delicious but the service was truly outstanding. Our server took special care of our pregnant friend with food and non-alcoholic drink considerations and they were so accommodating in allowing us time to finish our meal and enjoy coffee and desert. Go to Costiera it will not disappoint!“

“Randomly driving through Timonium on our way back to PA we were looking for food. Fuentes showed with good reviews and we stopped. Now once a month (sometimes more) we drive an hour back to Timonium for amazing food. We’ve even brought family down here. The italian food is plentiful and tasty but the fish and shrimp tacos are our favorite. A lovely couple owns the place and they cook all the food and they’ve always been kind to us. We hope to come here for many more years.“

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

“What a great restaurant! Pizza was amazing - large slices, great pepperoni, excellent ratio of cheese/sauce. Have adventurous eaters - you can order by the slice too! And the cannoli…🤤 so good!!“

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

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

“I want to update my review. I sincerely apologize to Big Cheese. My order was delivered but found out someone else took it
They did nothing wrong.
I ordered today. They said it was delivered but was never delivered. Nothing I can do I am at my money and I am out my food. I called. They were rude. Sad thing is I can watch on the camera to see if and when it was delivered.“

“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 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.“

“Love Carrabbas... but this location in Towson I don't care for since we stood a while waiting to be seated and the hostess was too busy on her phone. The waitress was just ok, not very personable. She gave you your stuff and quickly moved on, you didn't have a chance to ask a question. And they took the mussels off the menu. Ugh !“

“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.“

“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.“

“Extremely high quality food.“

“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 atmosphere delicious food Monday's they have a Caesar salad with grilled chicken which is absolutely delicious comes with two slices of Italian bread ask for the vinegar and olive oil dressing so you can dip your bread and it's super delicious thank me later.“

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

“My family and I stopped in Mario's to grab a bite to eat after watching a movie at the Senator Theater across the street from it and believe me when I say that the pizza is outstandingly delicious ???. Also, the service is outstanding as well. The owner took time out of his duties to check on us and that all is well. This is definitely a pizza place that I am going to be visiting often.“

“Owings Mills Ledo’s is by far the best place in the area. I drive 30 minutes to have their pizza. The owners are very friendly! Thank you“
