This restaurant was AMAZING!!! From the food, service, drinks were top tier. The steak was cooked perfectly. The Cesar salad was very unique , the flavors were delectable , I love what they did with the Cesar salad. It's small with an intimate feeling and the dark undertones make it cozy. The service was top tier and I enjoyed every second of dining here . Try it for yourself and thank me later ! read more

So I have been coming to Amadeo's for years. We were sad to hear it was closing and then we got news that a couple was taking the restaurant over. We were excited but needed to try it for ourselves to see if it still had the Amadeo's service, great food, and ambiance! Let me tell you I want to gate keep. I really, really do. But this place is doing it right. The ambiance is the same but with a hip new twist. Same lovely old time bar but new artwork and table set up. The service was still top notch. Becca was still there and we were so happy to see her! The staff were so nice and all of this was before the food. They had experts in wines to help us pair with the meal. But we were blown away by the food! We got the tomato pie. Now stop there. That tomato pie is 100% perfection. I'm not over exaggerating! 100% perfect. I will die on that hill any day. The yellow tail crudo was light and freshing after that rich pie. But it was a perfect platelet cleanser before the mezza manichie. The pasta sauce was light while also savory. It was honestly the perfect meal. I know they switch up the menu but please keep that tomato pie! It's so damn good. I can't give Amadeo's higher than a 5 star, but I would if I could. It's a smaller place so plan ahead. But we will be back time and time again. Thanks for keeping this lovely Little Italy staple open and thriving. read more

Had such a great dinner here! It's such a cute and cozy spot in Little Italy. Everything we ordered was delicious and easy to share. Highly recommend the swordfish and pappardelle. The service was amazing too--our server truly went above and beyond for us during our visit! I would definitely come back read more

I am so excited that there is a new fantastic Italian place in the city!! Came here with a couple friends for dinner and we ended up splitting a bunch of dishes. Service was decent and our waitress (I think one of the owners actually) walked us through the menu which was helpful! We started with the Ceasar and another salad- I LOVED the baby greens salad it was delicious. I also thought the tomato pie was incredible. For the mains we split a bunch of the pastas- the red sauce with the sausage addition was my favorite. Just a great bright classic pasta. I also found the beef dish to be fantastic, it was perfectly cooked. For dessert we got panna cotta which was awesome!! One of the best I've had, it was jiggly and perfect. The sauce on top is also interesting and delicious. Can't wait to return!!! read more

We were looking for some food in Little Italy. There are a ton of options but we settled on here. We were glad we did! The woman working the bar also worked the floor. She was friendly and engaging. We ordered nearly all of the appetizers. Each one was really tasty! The cheese and olives were my favorites. I even enjoyed the seasoned tomatoes which is not usually my thing. My least favorite was the beet salad. It was still ok but just a little bland in comparison to everything else. The pizza was small but in combination with everything else I was pleased with the taste of it. We split the special spicy shrimp pasta. It had some heat! It was delicious and filling. I would order everything again except for that salad. Highly recommended! read more

Love this place. But a big disappointment when we were told by the owners they'd be open New Year's Eve until 1 am. And yet they were closed by 11:30pm. There was a group of 8 of us. Such a bummer read more

Such a great little find! Came here for the first time for a dinner date. We were greeted upon walking in and taken to a table in the back. We started off with wine and ordered our entrees (a Shrimp Alfredo fettuccine for me). Our entrees came with a small Caesar salad. The salad was nothing special but a nice starter before our main meal. My dish had a good amount of shrimp in it and it was super tasty. We also decided to share their in house made Tiramisu for dessert. It was very light and a great ending to our meal. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The owner's daughter also came over to assist and was quite fun and friendly as well. Such a quaint restaurant with energetic and friendly staff. The food and wine were great and all at a reasonable price too! A lovely experience overall. Will definitely come back here! read more

Where do I start. Family owned and operated establishment in Baltimore' Little Italy. We ordered a bottle of recommended red from Becca, a 2019 Castellani Sangiovese, excellent choice. Tannins but not too much to overcome the food. Our appetizer, Caprese Bruschette, the Burrata was creamy but not overly runny, a nice touch by putting pitted Olives on the side. Very good. For the main course we split a Shrimp Diavlo and Parppadelle Carciofi, homemade pasta with artichoke heart, sun dried tomato, roasted red peppers, spinach in a butter cream sauce. This can easily go sideways but not at Osteria DaAmedeo, the sauce was not overwhelming but excellent and the homemade pasta was cooked to perfection while soaking up the taste of the sauce. For the dessert we went with the house made Tiramisu. Very tasty but a little too damp, a common choice with Tiramisu, but I prefer mine a little more firm. So now for the 5 star part of this review, Amadeus & Becca, father and daughter, on my scale they rate 110%. Don't bypass this understated establishment. read more

My partner and I stopped in on a whim - and absolutely fell in love with it by surprise. The prices for wine are very reasonable, the environment is warm and welcoming, and the staff was super friendly and nice to chat with. Coincidentally, I was sitting next to Amadeo - the owner! He welcomed me, and asked if I was enjoying my time. His daughter also works behind the bar, which I think is super cool. I was also informed that the food is homemade (and thus can be altered for a gluten free diner like myself). Can't wait to return for wine, and probably food next time! read more

Amadeo's - a glass of wine on a bar - Italian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place is a small hidden gem in Little Italy, Baltimore. We were looking for a place to have dinner and gave this a shot after reading some reviews. The menu is small, but there's no need for more. We had the farfalle, caesar salad, gambas bruschetta (not pictured) and a glass of sauvignon. The server had a great attitude, energy and was very kind. We stayed past their closing time (we did not know they were closed already) and they did not even mention it, but wished us a good night and closed the door behind us. We apologized of course for overstaying, but they did not mind. It's quaint, nice and cozy. I would definitely return and recommend anyone visiting the Little Italy, Baltimore area. read more

What a great little find this was in Baltimore! They are only open something like Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 5:00 to 10:00. Updated menu every week with great homemade everything, great service and great food. I stopped in with my son on a Friday evening and had a great experience here. We started with the antipasto for two, it was plenty of food and it was so gorgeous that I dug right in and I'm sorry to say did not get a picture of it! I got the pasta bolognese which was great - I'm sitting here eating the leftovers for breakfast as I write this! (-: My son got the shrimp dish which was supposed to be served on crostini but he asked for pasta instead and it was even better than mine! The people were really nice and seem to enjoy being there which really made the whole experience even better. This is definitely someplace that I have to come back to. read more

Traveled to Baltimore to take a cruise and stumbled on this place. My wife and I have traveled to Europe for several years. This family run business has a simple menu and turns out excellent food. We would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in town. read more

Amadeo's - Italian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This cozy little corner restaurant is easily missed - but definitely worth a visit. I've lived nearby for a decade and just tried it for the first time very recently. Everything is reasonably priced, the service is friendly, and the vibe is relaxing. We tried a couple antipasti plates to start - some marinated vegetables and some charcuterie. Very tasty. We also ordered a penne with meatballs and it was delicious. To end, we got the tiramisu which was all great. Happy hour beers are only a few bucks and they have Moretti Rossa, so it's a no-brainer. I'll definitely be going back. read more

We had a wonderful dinner last night. Small family business in a cool space. A mix of locals and travelers. Beca was great - hostess, bartender and server-welcoming ,funny & informative. Food & wine was spot on. Dad changes the menu every Wednesday, our meal was delicious. Would highly recommend a visit. read more

I have walked by this restaurant many times, and have been looking forward to trying it for years. It exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was nothing short of charming, and the owner and his daughter ensured our experience was great. I had a pappardelle with tomato and pesto - tasted so fresh and delicious. My fiancé had a linguine with cream sauce and shrimp. The pesto bruschetta was one of the best we'd ever had. They offered a wide selection of wines, and the owner helped us select the perfect bottle. They have a new menu every week, and are open Thursday - Saturday from approximately 5-10. Our experience made our night so special. We can't wait to go back! read more

Amadeo's - Pappardelle y tomato y pesto - Italian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I had an exceptional experience at Osteria Da Amedeo. This restaurant is exactly what you hope for when you're seeking a neighborhood family owned experience. The service was outstanding and personalized to be exactly what we wanted. The owner and his daughter are extremely welcoming. I had a parmesan cream sauce with shrimp over linguini and it hit the spot. My fiancé had a pappardelle with pesto & tomato. She absolutely loved it. The lentil soup was also delicious. The ambiance is very quaint and relaxing. If you're looking to try somewhere new, add Osteria Da Amedeo to the top of your list. And be mindful they're only open Thurs-Sat. read more

Amazing! Felt like we were back in Italy again. The food was fantastic and very authentic (their marinated olives are truly a reason to visit in and of themselves). There is one guy running the show (manning the bar, taking orders, bussing) but it's overall a pretty small spot and he stays on top of things. The food was DELICIOUS-had the burrata and bruschette to start and were impressed by the taste and quality of both. For mains, the pizza was small but really tasty and the pasta was perfectly seasoned and sized to split. You could really tell whoever was cooking REALLY knew what they were doing. Four dishes with 2 glasses of wine (and some salad, cookies thrown in) only came up to $80 which is such a welcome change in today's age of ridiculous restaurant prices. All in all, would definitely check it out again if I were in the area! read more

This place, what a treat it was! First and foremost I want to say the owner is an awesome person, friendly and welcoming he makes the atmosphere of this quaint Italian restaurant even more inviting as he walks around and occasionally chats with guests. When he isn't cooking the amazing food at least! So, the food itself is phenomenal, everyone in my party of 6 loved their food. I personally don't like Italian food outside my family most of the time but I've found a place now that I do. It tasted just like sitting around the table with my big Italian family and having a home cooked meal at a holiday. The portions are reasonable, (better than at my house at least u don't roll out of here!) The service is fine, it's a little more relaxed than I'm used to but that's fine, good food, good wine, and good people don't need to be rushed. The ambiance of this place is wonderful! You walk in and are greeted by a bar with a friendly face. The place itself is lovely, tastefully decorated and welcoming. 5/5, an amazing dinner. Thank you so much for an amazing meal and an amazing time. read more

What a great spot! We were looking for a quaint restaurant that had an available table and we fell in love with Osteria Da Amedeo. The service was wonderful, the wine recommendations were on point, and the food was stellar. Dessert was just an added bonus. Dont miss this cute + lovely Italian restaurant! read more

Just a wine bar with really bad yet expensive food. Another nail for Little Italy's coffin. Really sad.

This was the last stop on the food tour that we took in Baltimore and we sat at the bar and had tiramisu and a couple glasses of wine and it's a very cute authentic place. I highly recommend stopping in for a visit. read more

Food was incredible. I had the bolognese and I restrained myself(barely) from licking the plate clean!!! Sooo good

Following an afternoon snack of iced coffee and a raspberry scone at my go to bakery - Oven Bird, in Little Italy - I noticed that right across the street the small Open sign was lit at Osteria Da Amedeo. I'd heard it was a great wine bar. I stepped in and found it to be really charming. The long bar and the small tables were inviting. The bartender, Adrianne, immediately welcomed me. The lighting gives the place a nice European glow, that sense that for awhile time will stop. I asked for a wine recommendation to go with my pasta and I was very pleased with the wine and the meal. The menu was short but everything sounded so good. The tiramisu was fresh and delicious.I chatted at length with the owner, Amedeo, met Scuba Steve, and talked with the bartender about the neighborhood, dating, and The Who's Who in Little Italy. It turned out the owner of the bakery Oven Bird was sitting next to me so we talked about his business and about the trials and triumphs of being an entrepreneur. Yes, go here for the wine, the food, and the ambiance! Be friendly and enjoy great company, too! read more

The BEST Italian food I have ever had. Went with my friend on a whim, and we were absolutely blown away. The appetizers, entrees, desserts, and wine were all amazing. This is my new favorite restaurant and I will absolutely be a regular. I could not recommend a better place for a date night, or friend date! The owner and staff were so so kind, and the service was top notch. I wish I could give this 6 stars! read more

Big fan! The food is all homemade, and sometimes you'll get a slight difference in what you get, based on who's cooking - but it's always fantastic! (I enjoy the slight variety! It makes it feel much more like your family's kitchen...assuming you have an Italian or European family or have been adopted into one.) Totally a neighborhood/locals spot where most everyone knows each other and the other regulars. A few tourist show up, but they're mostly there for the food, whereas it's the local watering-hole for the neighbors. It's very welcoming, you get great wine recommendations and can get bottles to take home, too. You'll see the owner there (his name is over the door,) in the kitchen, working the bar, walking the floor and checking in on everyone, or playing a game of backgammon with his latest challenger. Definitely not pretentious. It's very homey and family-like (sometimes family even (wo-)mans the bar. Keep in mind it's a wine bar, (at least after they stop serving food for the evening - usually around 8-830pm,) so that's where the selection is. They do have a basic selection of beer and hard alcohol and a couple mixers, if that's your thing, but the standard fares - no craft cocktails, just good service and basic old-school drinks. Closing time can depend on how busy they are, but make sure to take a peek - it can sometimes lol closed when it's not and it can sometimes be closed when it doesn't look like it. They usually have "the game" on the two TVs in the bar, and their menu rotates. Check out Facebook for their most current one. They usually have a cheese and/or near plate, some bruschetta, and soup - if you get there early enough (always ask because it changes based on the cook's preference and the day/week.) There are usually 3-5 entree options each week, including at least one with seafood and at least one without. Often a cream sauce or two, a red sauce or two, and/or a wine sauce (or two.) I think all entrees come with a Caesar salad (and the dressing is not too fishy, thankfully! But very nicely parmesan'd.) Desserts, I think are mini-canolis or tiramisu. (I've only had the latter here and it was damn good!) read more

This place is laid back, beautiful and full of charm. Everything is very reasonably priced and the food is delicious. The owner and his wife are wonderful, accommodating people that intend and succeed at making you feel at home. If you are looking to go out and ENJOY a drink and interesting conversation, you've found the place. Lots of seating in back available for private parties, monthly wine tastings or just a lovely dinner date. As a vegan, I enjoy the grilled eggplant and artichokes in pasta, on a custom panini, or in salad. My favorites are the artichoke and red pepper bruschetta, the eggplant and capers bruschetta, the aged garlic spread bruschetta as well as the olives (the one without the cheese) bruschetta. Wine flights are $12 dollars and bottles of wine to go only $10! The regulars are great neighborhood people that have lived or worked in Little Italy for some time that take pride in their community. Check out Osteria! read more

1st Time here. Really liked it. Sat at bar. Love looks of it and the more seated dining area was quaint and romantic with city feel. I love good local places. People were super friendly. Heard spaghetti & meatballs were good and they were. Tasty sauce and small meatballs not greasy or heavy. Good drinks too. Definitely will be back! read more

Great food, nice and approachable atmosphere, friendly service. Went for dinner during the week and will definitely be back. The menu is concise, which I appreciate, and there are a few daily specials to choose from. Top it off with homemade dessert, reasonable pricing, and a friendly waitress and it's definitely a great place to frequent.

Good place in little Italy in Baltimore downtown for a good dinner or lunch. Decent selection of wines at a reasonable prices: I found Negroamaro from Puglia, which not many restaurants carry. Food is good: not 100% Italian, but very close. They do also sell bottle of wines to go ... Like in Italy. read more

Stopped in while visiting Baltimore for the weekend. As we checked in at 9 p.m. reviews said they were open late and had good comfort food. What an understatement. Everything was delicious! SO GOOD! Antipasta, Bruschetta (aglio, meatball, eggplant), 3 cheese platter, and pasta dinners. YUM! Drank the Chianti on the red wine list. Also very good. Everything was reasonably priced. Great place for drink and food. read more

Came with a fairly large group and we were able to snag a few tables in the back to accommodate us. The menu is pretty interesting, ranging from bruschetta (3 for $12) to paninis. I opted for the 3 different bruschetta options. Honestly, I thought it was going to be 3 pieces of bread but in fact you get 3 of each, so 9 total. I'm knocking off a star because I received 3 pickled garlic bruschetta which I didn't even order, but the other olive tapenades weren't bad. Nothing great either. We had a friendly server and the parking is easy. There's also wine flights available which is a neat option read more

Went here for happy hour on Tuesday night. The bartender was so friendly, I felt like I was in someone's house. The owner, Amedeo, was sitting at the bar along with my friend and I. This place was quiet, quaint and had a homey feeling. We were the only ones there for a while, but a few people from the neighborhood started to trickle in to the bar area around 6:30/7ish. You could tell that this is a real neighborhood place. The prices were super cheap and their happy hour menu is extensive! You should also ask to see the regular menu because some of the prices on there are the same or not much higher than happy hour and you get more of a selection. For example, there are $5 bruchetta options on the HH menu, but the regular ones are $5 too with additional choices. We got 4 glasses of wine, a chicken caesar salad, bruschetta, a mini panini, tiramisu and a mini, chocolate-dipped cannoli and I think this was all for under $25 a person including tax and tip. You can't beat that! I thought the chicken caesar salad good. Large enough to split and the chicken was all white meat and tender. We also really liked the gorzonzola bruchetta, and the homemade tiramisu. We did not really care for the artichoke and eggplant mini panini...it had a weird taste to it. I liked the happy hour Chianti, but did not care for the Orvieto glass that I ordered off of the regular menu. My only other suggestion was that the food took a super long to to come out for what we ordered, which were all appetizer type things, but we had a nice time catching up at the bar and drinking our wine. I would probably rate this a 3.5, but I bumped it up to 4 because everyone here was so nice and welcoming. I felt like I was transported outside of Baltimore for a little while to a little, Italian corner bistro. I'd go back for happy hour again! read more

This is actually a 4.5 star. My husband and I dropped into Osteria Da Amedeo after our original dinner plans fell through last night. This place was great. Such a cute wine bar! The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and on top of her game. We each ordered a panini and split an order of bruschetta - everything was great! Perhaps the only thing better than the food was the prices. We will definitely be back! Try the pomodoro brucschetta and the caprese panini! read more

This is without question 3.5 to 4 star place. Very simple place in the heart of little Italy. Whether you are coming here before or after you go out to eat in the neighborhood this place is a perfect spot to unwind. Mainly serving Italian wines but they also have bottle beers. The bartenders are great at matching you with a good quality wine if you aren't sure what you would like. They also have no problem giving you a sample to try. Very minimal on food. We did try the cheese platter which had a good presentation but didn't do much for me. The prices are reasonable and there is no reason not give this place a chance. read more

Looking for a place to grab dinner with a friend (and with a Yelp deal) this place fit the bill. It was pretty slow on a Tuesdsay night, but as the reviews promised the Panini's and the service were great. We also ended up trying the terimisu (both the espresso and the Limenchello, the special), both were light desserts, perfect for the summer. A small place with a great cozy atmosphere and an decent wine menu, this place is definitely a place I would visit again. read more
