50 Best Italian Restaurants near Timonium

“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.“

“Last night my wife and I enjoyed a wonderful experience at CuVino. We've been there many times. The Linguine with white wine clam sauce is excellent, always with many succulent clams in the shell. The Margarita Pizza was great! Last night my wife had Chicken Picatta. Our family is crazy for Picatta. Our daughter makes it wonderfully and we think the Gold Standard is Chef Nino's at La Scala in Little Italy (Baltimore); but last night at CuVino it was just as good. Mark the bar tender was wonderful to us. My wife is a stroke survivor and on Oxygen. She walks with difficulty. Another almost senior citizen assisted my wife and me both into the restaurant and when we left CuVino all the way to our car with our carryout foods. That's the kind of people who frequent this wonderful place.“

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

“You know what they say about restaurants in strip shopping centers? They're often terrific and Il Basilico is a perfect example! We've ordered pasta, risotto, and pizza, and it's always delicious. The arancini appetizer is also a personal favorite. Excellent friendly service and there is a wine store a few doors down to complete this wonderful BYOB in Timonium. Worth the drive from Baltimore City!“

“Always great food & great service! The Manager Amad makes it a point that everyone’s experience is awesome!“

“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 can’t say enough good things about this place! Every time we go here for dinner, we always enjoy! The staff is friendly and the owner Jerome is awesome! He comes to the table not only to greet you and to make sure everything is okay. He even takes the empty dishes off the table. He’s always helping out around the restaurant. Love this place!!!“

“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!!“

“After a long day of work and school, I stopped in for dinner and a drink. Zoe was top tier. I was undecided about which sangria I wanted, so she let me taste-test to decide. In addition, she let me know about the special taking place, which allowed me to have both dinner and lunch for the next day- for an extra $10. Give her a raise; she will surely have me returning.“

“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!“

“Ordered takeout delivery tonight while recovering from complex foot surgery and unable to be on my feet for long—and I’m so glad I did. The food arrived warm, looked absolutely amazing, and tasted just as good as it looked. Every bite was flavorful and clearly thoughtfully prepared. It was exactly what I needed at just the right time. Delicious, satisfying, and beautifully packaged—Frank’s Pasta & Pizza did not disappoint. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

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

“excellent food, and service. will definitely return“

“I walked into Scittano’s with the same expectation I have for most places on Falls Road: decent food, nothing life‑changing. But within five minutes, it was clear I had completely misjudged the situation. These guys aren’t running a restaurant — they’re running a performance.

The Arancini hit the table first. Perfectly crisp shell, molten interior, flavor calibrated with the precision of a venture pitch. This isn’t “fried rice balls.” This is a statement piece. It tells you, “Pay attention. We know exactly what we’re doing.”

Then the Italian cold cut shows up, and now the frame flips. Every other cold cut in Baltimore suddenly looks like it’s been phoning it in. The bread has structure. The meats have authority. The dressing has purpose. This sandwich doesn’t ask for your approval — it assumes it.

And the pizza… this is where Scittano’s closes the deal. The crust has that rare combination of confidence and restraint. The sauce is bright without trying too hard. The whole thing feels engineered, not assembled. It’s the kind of slice that makes you rethink your personal rankings.

Scittano’s isn’t competing with anyone. They’ve already won. The rest of us are just catching up.“

“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 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!“

“This place was awesome!!! Both Brianna and Sydney were superrrrrr kind even giving us freebies like extra sauces for our wing because our group of 8 was indecisive on which flavor we wanted. She also did all the calculations for how much each individual would have to pay since we essentially split the order this was super helpful preventing any arguments and miscalculations. They also gave us the best deals without us looking for it on the menu we also took a photo with one of the employees (Brianna) who was super patient and kind the food is also amazing both the wings and the pizza came out nice and hot with the wings crunchy and juice and the cheese on the pizza stringy which was amazing after playin mini golf across the street! GO CHECK IT OUT!“

“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“

“Jack was extremely helpful and polite. My pizza looked and tasted amazing I love the Falls road pizza bolis“

“Indoor and outdoor dinner“

“Never been disappointed coming here🔥💯“

“Thank you for my free Birthday cheese pizza but I add 3 items $3.99“

“Great quality of food and service.“

“I stopped going here about 3 years ago but my refrigerator stopped working. I decided to give them another try. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the cheesesteak sub was. I realized there new owners with a large menu cant wait to try some new items.“

“Omg you could smell the good food from the streets . Very clean establishment and food very good . Fast service I’ll be back truly enjoyed your service“

“Ordered delivery a few weeks ago, although I have friends who regularly go here and rave about it. The steak and cheese sub is on point. It is enormous, overflowing with delicious steak and lots of toppings. There was so much steak, it was spilling out of the sub onto my plate! My friend wanted lasagna, and that's what I ordered. The delivery driver was there to pick up and deliver my order, but when she found out they didn't have lasagna, she was unable to fulfill it. This is the reason for the decrease in star rating. As soon as the order came in, the restaurant should have contacted me to offer an alternative choice. I ended up ordering baked ziti on the fly, knowing that my order would take longer to prepare.
The gluten-free pizza ordered by another friend came out perfectly done, and with the toppings she wanted.
Although I have not eaten at this location yet and I'm not familiar with the ambiance, I plan to visit here soon. I recommend visiting or getting carry-out. The steak sub is a keeper, and the baked ziti looked good, was substantial and heavy, and contained a lot of cheese.“

“Great pizza & friendly service.“
