Thursday 4pm late, late lunch, sitting at the bar was quite the treat. My wife and I started with the happy hour beers and the always excellent Brussels sprouts. We each followed that with one of the day's specials, Spanish style grilled calamari. Delicious. We were still hungry after all that and after looking at each other several times and shaking our heads, we decided to order a margarita pizza...and that left us very satisfied. Service was outstanding. Atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. We usually come here to meet with my son and his family, but this day we decided to strike out on our own. Very enjoyable meal and afternoon.

LOVED Birroteca! The restaurant is gorgeous, we got a table outside and had the best time. Would highly recommend the Brussel Sprouts and the Sicilian Pizza (especially the Sicilian pizza). The Grilled Ricotta Salad was okay, it tasted great but I probably wouldn't get it again. For drinks, the Fig-N-Thyme was the perfect spring/summer drink-- fruity and carbonated and didn't taste too much like alcohol. For whiskey fans, the Old Fashioned was also great (just not my personal thing). Would definitely come back!

Duck Duck Goose
涵

The food was awesome! I loved their duck legs and roasted duck pizza, savory, sweet, and crispy. The waiter was very nice and warm. The indoor ambiance was also elegant. Will come back for these two dishes!

Brussel sprouts

I really like this place. First time and won't be my last. Good drinks and food. The duck duck goose pizza was delicious!!! The wine vodka was good and sneaks up on you lol. Nice setting. Definitely coming back to try different pizzas and cocktails.

Italian Kit Kat* House Made Tiramisu

It was absolutely amazing, the service was fantastic. The mussels appetizer was my favorite! And definitely get the tiramisu it's made in house and delicious. The building is very pretty great date spot or family dinner.

Apple cake
Tiffany D.

Still very much one of my fave restaurants. On a Friday night at 5p, my group of 8 was the only table in the main dining area. It started to fill up around 6pm. GLOWS: -The mushroom pizza is still some of my fav! -Service was patient and efficient , as we tricked in because of the rain. -The bartenders are so good at making all kinds of drinks!---and pretty mocktails! GROWS: -The took the apple cake off the menu! I need an explanation because it was sooo very good!!

Zozzonna Pasta
Jake B.

Foods amazing, the ambiance is amazing, and the owner and service are so kind! A must try dinner spot! The pasta is refreshing, flavorful, and doesn't leave you feeling bloated or heavy afterwards. The brick oven pizza has some of the best crust I've ever had. Perfect mix of crunchy and soft! And you have to try the vodka wines, 8 dollars for a full glass that will last you the whole dinner. I'd reccomend the lemon vodka wine, it's deliciously refreshing. And I have to give the biggest props to the service. Not only is it dog friendly, but they brought out a bowl of water, and treats! I've been here a few times with my dog and they remembered him, and came over and said hi. They just make you feel very welcome to eat there. Great place to eat outside the city, hidden away from the hustle and bustle, but with flavorful, gourmet food. And run by very kind folks.

Burrata Cheese Bruschetta
Steve R.

For two, here's what you should get : -Spicy Spiced Crispy Chick Peas -Burrata Cheese Bruschetta -Special: Cod Risotto -Linguine With Clams -House-Made Limoncello Cake and ice cream -Zeppoles* (Italian donuts) -Take home for Sister: Gemelli (spinach green olive pesto and pasta) Note: Sooo good! Romantic vibe, varied seating at tables, near windows, the bar or outside under canopy. Our waitress was great and efficient with the courses and bow-wow bags! Mom and I loved it! And we got takeout for Sister: Gemelli (spinach green olive pesto and pasta) Note: Soo good!

Meatballs (House Ricotta, Tomato Sauce)
Jada C.

Well well, what can I say? I really really really wanted to love this place. But this place wouldn't let me be great. After attending a local Yelp event, I chose this place over one of my favorites because it was nearby and it has some really good Yelp reviews so I was really interested in visiting and sharing the same experience. I did not share that same experience. My Yelp friend and I decided to give this place a visit. When we 1st entered, there was a older guy named Mike. He was initially personable although really wasn't too helpful in identifying 2 seats. I asked about 2 bar seats in front of us and he told us no one was sitting there but it looks like someone has to clean it up. And that was it. He had no interest in wiping down the bar area for us or making arrangements with someone else to do it. That was a little bothersome. Another staff member (from the bar) did eventually agree to wipe the cluttered counter and we were pleased. Immediately when we sat down and requested water. ... I'm going to lessen the suspense about the water... we never got it. Collectively we ordered... - Mai Kinda Tai (Apricot Allspice Rum, Orgeat Syrup Grand Marnier, Lime Grapefruit) - Brussels Sprouts (Black Garlic Aioli, Chili Oil, Coppa) - Meatballs (House Ricotta, Tomato Sauce) - Crispy Pork Belly Soon after ordering, we noticed an older couple walked in and not only were they greeted ecstatically, the older guy Mike actually cleaned off the bar area for them. Next, the bar guy Tim that was assisting us and never brought us waters, IMMEDIATELY brought them two waters. I didn't even hear them ask for water !! I'm not sure why we couldn't have water this evening but we just couldn't have water this evening. Waited 15+ minutes for bill after asking for it. Another 5 minutes while waiting for cc's and signature receipts. Something positive... The food was absolutely amazing! The food came out within 7 to 10 minutes of ordering, beautifully plated and delicious! Perfect temperature presentation! Sadly I was considering this place as one of my birthday event locations but that will not happen!! As much as I absolutely love the food, I can't go anywhere EVER where I'm not appreciated. It's 1 thing if the food wasn't as great but the customer service was bad and intentional. I can't deal with bad customer service. Do better!

Wild Mushroom Risotto and Cippola pizza
Sarah H.

Had a great experience at happy hour at Birroteca! With happy hour in the whole restaurant until 6, we were able to sit at a table and enjoy some great drink and appetizer specials! They offer Evo draft 10 Oz pours for $3 which is an awesome deal, and house wines for $5. I love a good red house wine (here they offer a really great Pinot Noir). For food we had the brussel sprouts from the happy hour menu which was a surprisingly large portion easily shared between 2! We also shared the mushroom risotto (amazing flavor--honestly a contender for best risotto in the city) and the cipolla pizza. The pizza was also delicious! Amazing flavor once again. Another highlight was that our server was super knowledgeable about the beer selection and was very friendly. Would absolutely come back to try more from the menu!

Brussel sprouts

I can't wait to get back to Birroteca Baltimore! While I haven't paid a visit since B.C (before Covid-19), I could never forget the perfectfully flavorful and crispy brussel sprouts from Birroteca. As a brussel sprouts fanatic (don't knock it till you try it), I strongly believe that Birroteca has the best brussel sprouts in all of Baltimore. That's right, folks! They're crispy on the outside but tender in the middle. Glazed with some sort of balsamic, magical concoction and finished with a spicy/savory aioli. They also have some great pizza choices too! I've ordered the Duck Duck Goose pizza before and enjoyed the mish mash of ingredients. The one item on the menu that I didn't have a great experience with was the steak. Full disclosure, I actually didn't try the steak myself but I was with a friend who ordered it. It was GIGANTIC! A fantastically large slab of meat that looked delicious. The odd part was that Birroteca didn't have any steak sauce. I don't expect every restaurant to have fancy house made steak sauce, but it is surprising to serve such a large steak and not even have A1 to offer. We asked our server for some steak sauce and at first she said they didn't have any but then she came back with a mixture from the kitchen. It was mostly ketchup and did not taste great. Overall, I highly recommend Birroteca! I can't wait to stop by sometime soon and be reunited with those beautiful brussels.

Brussels Sprouts - get this !!

This bar is inside the Hotel Ulysses, once entering the lobby, it's up the stairs and on the right. The dimly lit, mirror covered walls, and plush velvet seating adds to the upscale vibes. We were quickly attended to by a server and placed an order for drinks. My mom got a drink that included something called shrub (never heard of this before), but the server warned us it is a bit vinager-y and different, but that was ok for us. I ordered the Ocha Kudasai and my mom got the Zahara. The Kudasai was like a lychee green tea drink, it was light, slightly sweet, and delicious. The Zahara was different (as promised), but actually delectable. It had a flavor that I had never had in a drink before, but in a pleasant way. If you're an adventurous drinker, definitely try the Zahara! Love the vibes here, I will definitely be back.

Found this place on Yelp. It's inside the Ulysses hotel. It's really posh, and probably great for a date or a girls' night out. We chose to sit at the bar and leave the intimate spaces for people who were in that mood. Bartenders were really friendly and helpful and attentive and knowledgeable. I think we ended up with the Delorean and the Walking Iris, and shared the mini crabcakes. All were very good.

We did not try the food as it was past the restaurant hours being open and we had already eaten at a restaurant in the alleyway. I will be doing a review on that Italian restaurant soon because it was really good. I loved the whole speakeasy vibe and the music was amazing. One of the few places that stayed open to 2am...my birthday ended in an awesome surprise! When back in Baltimore will definitely stop in again maybe to try a bite with a drink.

Clandestino has grown up, literally. What began as a small operation in Frederick has moved into a…read morelarger space, and the expansion suits them well. This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.

Always great service by bar manager Charlie, fantastic food and beverage menu and options. My favs so far are the grilled wings and chicken tortilla soup. The drinks are pretty awesome, and Charlie the Great can alter beverages to your preference if you prefer. This is an overall mezcal bar, but they have other libations as well. My fav is John Updike's Old Fashioned. My son ordered and loved the Strawberry Gin & Tonic. This establishment is a great conversation starter, and I look forward to returning asap.
