Badly sliced pizza

Tastes exactly like Domino's: greasy regret, artificial everything, and instant disappointment

Ric P.

CML has been around for many, many, years and used to be our 'go-to' place. Don't remember why we stopped visiting but we have rekindled our taste buds with this Italian treasure in Hanover, MD. Everything at CML is homemade and the dishes are plentiful, hot, and delicious. The chicken Brunello was fabulous. The Catfish Francese is to die for; tender, flakey, and lightly acidic ... OMGOODNESS. we've had mixed experiences with the pizza but the flavors have kept us trying more and more options. CML is a jewel in Hanover that I hope never closes.

Pizza is always an option for us and we were craving it last night. We decided to try Cantina Mamma Lucia. We recently moved to Hanover so we are still getting familiar with the restaurants in this area. The New York style pizza truly reminded us of something you'd get in NY. It was delicious! We ordered through uber eats and had no issues with placing the order nor the delivery. The food arrived in good presentation and was still warm. We were pleased to use a coupon offer through uber eats. We will try dining in soon and expect quality service and a nice ambiance judging from other reviews we have seen.

Pepperoni, meatball and salami pizza.

Great food at reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere and very clean facility. A must try whenever in Hanover.

Shrimp Parmigiana

Many places come and go, Cantina Mama Lucia is not one of them. I have eaten here for over 15 years. Their pizza is amazing and so are their pastas. The chicken cacciatore is usually my go to. I came with my kids and their dad on a Thursday night. My son had the shrimp parmigiana special, I had the shrimp Alfredo, their dad had the pepperoni and sausage calzone and my daughter had the kids ziti with meatballs. Our meals came with garlic bread. The portions are insane, you get what you pay for here and then some. We have enough for dinner again tonight. Everything tasted fantastic! I personally like a little more spice/flavor in my Alfredo but it was still very good and the shrimp was cooked well. There is a little room to the right of the register next to the main dining room and it's perfect for my loud kids so we don't disturb the other diners. It is also incredibly clean. The service has always been consistently good and I have never had a bad experience here. I absolutely recommend this place.

I had a nice lunch here. I enjoyed their fresh baked gnocchi served piping hot in a baking dish. The dumplings are light, and delicious, with a tasty sauce and lots of cheese. You order and pick it up at the counter. This is a nice place to go for casual Italian food,

Best pizza I've had as far as I can remember. Perfect composition of sauce and dough. Great crunch all throughout. Reasonable wait times. Also can order through grubhub and pick up. Lovely place. Divided into sections with different color palettes. Plenty of seating. Can host your next big gathering. Can't wait to go back.

First, the food was delicious. I was blown away by the calamari in how soft it was. AND the sauce for it was made by the restaurant and didn't feel like a single drop of pre-made tomato sauce you would get at grocery stores. It had a hint of garlic and pieces of tomatos and i really appreciated the hint of the authenticity outside of normal marinara sauce you would get at other restaurants. Also the pasta was great with the hint mushrooms and the cheesy flavor was a nice touch. Main entree was fabulous but the appetizer was what made want to come back.

Half sized Caesar salad

Cute little place hidden away but very close to the Arundel mills mall. This is a great place to go when you are looking for good food minus the frills. We went on a Friday night and there wasn't a wait. The pasta is normally around $30 but big enough for two people (or save half for lunch the next day). The food is amazing and service is quick.

Had the veal Saltimbocca and minestrone soup. Both were way over salted. The house red wine was good.

Our favorite. Ugh, I don't even want to leave this review because I don't want them to get even…read morebusier. This was lace is a gem. Worth any wait. Has some of our families favorite options. Love their pizzas. Love their cheesesteak. Penne Vodka. And on and on. Great menu and options and has the classic feel and flavor of an old school Italian restaurant or store. They have seating inside, but we usually get delivery or to-go. They are the best and just writing this review now makes me want to order. Try and see. Tell me if I'm right!!

2.5 stars out of 5. Social media maybe slightly overhyped this place. Management of this place…read morereally needs to figure out a strategy to throttle orders. Turn the phone off, extend the online ordering ETA and catch up the orders of those standing there in person. The young lady at the counter was calm and collected and appeared to be unfairly inundated with the work load. I placed my order via the Eataliano website and it advised of 30-40 min wait. Arrived and there did not seem to be an organized approach. Ended up waiting a total of 1:10min for 1 crab pizza, 1 calamari. The calamari appeared to be promising however, it was rubbery and the amount of marinara was very short (order extra). 2.5-3.0 on the calamari. Maybe being served hot off the press makes a difference. (Unsure of if tickets were coming up in rhythm). Crab pizza was tasty and could stand to have another whole crab on it. For the amount of crab, I would say it was a VERY expensive small pizza. 3.0 It was a Saturday late afternoon and it was busy for sure. I would give this place another try but perhaps get the timing down to being able to snag the limited seating. Have a snack and pack your patience. Not a total bomb but, management needs figure out how to expedite the kitchen making it more efficient. Too expensive for mediocre.

Came here to get a seafood platter. We came on a slow afternoon. The ambiance was quiet and less…read morehectic than an evening or weekend visit. We entered the carryout area, were greeted by a pleasant lady, and ordered the Jewel of the Sea seafood platter (with crabcake, shrimp and scallops) two sides (baked potato and veggie). Timbuktu has seating in this area to enjoy your food here and also has a liquor store to purchase packaged goods. There was also a large TV for viewing and an ATM onsite. You could also purchase bagged snacks and cold nonalcoholic beverages as well. They also have a dessert case with assorted sliced cakes and pies for purchase in addition to ready to go salads and sandwiches. Our food was ready in a decent amount of time. The platter looked good and upon tasting, all of the seafood fresh: the crabcake was a smaller version of what you would get in a traditional crabcake platter, but still delicious with low filler allowing the sweetness of the crabmeat to shine; the shrimp were broiled and fresh; the scallops were cooked perfectly with a great taste. The sides were good as well. All in all, a good platter to purchase when you want to expand on a traditional crabcake platter.

My crab cake was flavorful and delicious. My steak was definitely overcooked, but to avoid ruining the birthday mood, I chose not to send it back. Overall, we had a wonderful time celebrating my King. The service was spot on--they even brought out a slice of strawberry shortcake for him in honor of his special day. Will definitely return.

For our entrées, we had the Ravioli Chesapeake and the Baked Ravioli, and both were excellent. The highlight of our visit, however, was the prompt and well-paced service. Our server, JoJo, was pleasantly attentive without ever being intrusive--a real gem! We would certainly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

Good Italian food, nice service, nice live music…read more Friends had told us of the musician playing at Tino's Italian Bistro on a Wednesday in Dec 2025, and we've enjoyed Tino's food before, so we headed over. It's a pretty big place with a bar and booths on the left, and another area of booths on the right. We were greeted and seated quickly by the hosts, and as we asked, we landed near the performer in the area to the right. The place was busy around 6pm, and friendly server quickly got menus for us, and within a few minutes, we had our drinks: a lovely $13 Maple Walnut Old Fashioned, fiery intense Makers Mark sweetened a little by maple syrup and focussed with walnut bitters. And a bright $13 Pom Pom Fizz, earthy gin with pomegranate juice, prosecco, and i think some lime juice. Both were well crafted , balanced, and refreshing. They started us with a sliced long narrow loaf of hot filone bread, with one of our Italian favorites, warm pinzimonio dipping oil: fresh aromatic olive oil with a pinch of mixed rich parmesan crumbles, zingy red-pepper flakes, and savory green herbs. It is tempting to make our whole meal of this! We had the $19 salmon & spinach in oil & garlic, from Tino's "lighter fare" menu. This was a huge filet, tender inside with a lovely deep crosshatch char on the surface. Quite perfect! And we asked for a customized $14 sandwich: Tino's offers a steak & cheese on chewy crusty hoagie roll, and we asked for added sautéed green peppers, with the generous cheese, sliced red onion and tomato, and lettuce on the side. The generous thin-sliced beef was tender and sweet cooked just right. The tasty lightly-seasoned fries were piping hot, and soft inside. We were perfectly satisfied with our light meal, and we managed to take a good amount home for later. The skilled musician, Bruce Casteel, played 5 to 7pm, a warm selection of familiar acoustic jazz, easy and fun to listen to. We'll return both for this musician and for the wide menu of flavorful food. You drive into the strip mall on Centre Park Dr just north of Old Annapolis Rd (MD-108), then turn left like you are going to the convenience store and keep driving around to the ample parking lot for Tino's. You can also easily get here off MD-100 at Executive Park Dr, winding via the non-highwqy Columbia 100 Parkway to Centre Park Dr.
