I feel like not every sandwich shop or bakery gets a BLT right but ovenbird does. Maybe it's the mayo, maybe it's Maybelline. This cute little bakery has so much more to offer, including the fresh baked bread, many other types of sandwiches, coffee, and the lot. Not lots of seating inside, but in the summer, they have four or five tables out. Good place to chat with friends.

The crust and sauce as it should be, the cheese, just enough and the pepperoni had just enough bite! Recommended! We took home a couple of rice balls (arancini) and they were okay. I've never seen yellow rice in a rice ball, nor a meatball used as the center. It's usually ground beef, a little sauce with peas. It was odd to me though the marinara they gave with this was really good. Maybe this is how rice balls are made here in Baltimore and that's okay, it's the only reason I knocked a star off. The fellow behind the counter was very nice and helpful, there is not a lot of room to sit, but we had room. A good sign that during our visit an employee of the Department of Health had his lunch there. A good sign that it's clean in the kitchen (it was definitely clean out front.) Recommended for the pizza. We'll be back.

My girlfriend and I shared the mozzarella as an appetizer, which were delicious. I do think they could have been heated more on the inside so the cheese was more stringy, but they certainly weren't lacking in flavor, and the marinara dipping sauce was amazing. My entree was the chicken parmigiana, which was also excellent. This also might be random, but I thought the tap water here was excellent. It was super crisp and some of the better water I've had on tap from a restaurant.

We had a group of 80 people and the staff did a good job managing a large party. For the meal, it was served family style. We had the following entrees after being served salad: penne vodka (super good, our table requested a second plate because we devoured it), Eggplant parm (also really really good), Chicken Marsala (this was good and cooked well), Lasagna without meat (our table didn't get a serving of this sadly so I'm not sure how it tasted). For dessert, we were served Tiramisu and Cannolis which everyone loved. For a big group, this was an amazing place to go and the staff adapted well to make it a good experience. I would definitely eat here again and for sure would order the penne vodka, so if you are in the area try it out!

Ambiance is very old school italian restaurant which is fine and adds to the vibes. Our server seemed a little tired and/or noncommital. He did in fact forget the order of appetizer we put in (its fine, it wasn't on the final receipt) but otherwise didn't check up on us much. We weren't provided a dessert menu after dinner. I got the order of calamari fra diavoli with a side of italian wedding soup (so needed on a very brisk autumn night). The pasta was really yummy. It hit the right level of spicy and it was an ample portion of calamari on it. My bf and his dad both got the eggplant parm and both commented on how it was a really well done eggplant parm where the breading was not too greasy and there was a nice crunch when cutting into the eggplant. We definitely do think we will come back again. Food saved it from being a 3 star in my opinion, because the service was a little meh.

Neighborhood chicken bowl mild: delicious the chicken breading is crispy and has the perfect curry taste without being overpowering. The pickled veggies with it is a great palate cleanser and balances all the flavors. I got it mild and while I was nervous of the spice level being too much for me (I'm a weenie) it was perfect, the kind of spice that actually adds to the dish instead of hurting you. Tempura broccoli: So good! Crunchy without being oily, it had a bunch of herbs on it the brightened the whole dish. Ancho chile pork bun: perfectly smokey and meaty without being fatty. This one we really struggled to eat as an actually sandwich because the pork is cubed so it just falls out the sides. The buns are a fun addition and have good texture so I'm happy we tried it, but if I went back I would be fine without it. Crab Rangoon: I was a bit skeptical about 1 crab Rangoon being $10 but that is because o was thinking of my midwestern type of crab rangoons. This was PACKED with actual crab and not a whole lot of cream cheese so the price made more sense when I figured that out. Still very good, but did not stand out amongst the rest. The place was so cool inside, they had about 7-10 bar seats inside with 2 tables outside, I recommend taking this to go. The service was nice and quick, you can tell they have a very efficient process. My only suggestion would be to turn the music down a little bit because it was hard for me and my husband to just talk to each other about plans that we had for the rest of the day. So happy this was featured on the yelp top 100 places so that we could try it!

I ordered two main dishes and was originally told it would take about 15 minutes, but it ended up taking double that, so just keep that in mind if you're in a rush like we were. The space itself is pretty small too, so it's more of a grab and go place. The Neighborhood Bird bowl was a HUGE portion. It was kind of spicy but the pickled onions helped even it out. I also tried the ancho chile pork bun. The bun itself tasted amazing,but it was a bit difficult to eat. The bottom got pretty soggy while the top bun was thick and tall, so it kind of fell apart while eating.
