Cinghiale has been on my radar for quite some time now! To start, happy hour starts at 4pm, and while the drinks and menu offerings were delicious, I wish you could order off the regular or bar menu (at least), as well. I was really craving some pasta so that was the only bummer of the night. The bartender was very nice and made incredible drinks. And, the restaurant is so cool and beautiful. If you buy a bottle of wine, you are allowed to sign it and keep it on display throughout the restaurant. How fun!!! Now, I just need to go back and try some pastas on the menu!!

Been here twice now. I really love the spacious interior. It's pretty nice ambiance. The service we had were amazing both times. Staff were very attentive. It's the food that was just ok. This restaurant has been for a long time and pretty well known to be a good Italian restaurant. Portion was bit too small for the price and I wasn't that impressed with the quality of food. Maybe I need to try one more time and see.

Beautiful authentic Italian restaurant. Good happy hour menu!! 4-6pm on most days. Homemade pasta dishes and fresh seafood!! Antipasto bar!!! Fabulous specialty drinks. Delicious warm bread served even at the bar. The most attentive, friendly staff. Signed wine bottles all over the restaurant!! Was there at 4pm and only wish you could order off the regular menu before 5:30pm, because there were so many more items I would have liked to have gotten during the happy hour time.

Overall 3.0-3.5 Food: good bang for your buck, good variety with 4 courses for 85$. Food overall was okay, entrees not as good as the first courses. Pasta was nice and al dente. drinks: good cocktails, great wine options for a variety of prices. Ambiance: cute, a little mainstream. Good service.

On a recent work trip I was also able to meet up with my mom and took her here for her birthday dinner. We really loved it! The service was really excellent. Our server was very knowledgeable and very patient. My mom is older and had a bit of a difficult time understanding the menu, and was being a bit discombobulated but our server was very gracious and answered aaall of her questions:) our food was incredible! Just delicious. I found the dishes to be unique and well put together. The wine we were suggested was also tasty. My mom selected their trio of gelato for her dessert and that was amazing! Best chocolate ice cream I may have ever had!

I finally had dinner at Cinghiale a couple of weeks ago after having it on my to try list for several years. (What can I say? We're not usually in this neighborhood - but I'm not sure why - the parking isn't as bad as I make out it out in my head. The restaurant offers complementary valet, but we found street parking around the corner, because I wasn't sure I had a cash tip for the valet driver. We ate on a Friday night and were able to find parking easily.) Cinghiale (meaning wild boar in Italian) is an Italian restaurant in Harbor East, with two different dining options. You can eat in the enoteca (wine bar) or more formal osteria (dining room). We ate in the enoteca but - looking around - I didn't think the options were that different from each other (not so formal on the osteria side that I couldn't have eaten there, for example). But the menus are very different, so definitely check both out and see what speaks to you more. (They offer a tasting menu in the osteria - you choose, an antipasti, primi, secondi, and dolci for $85, so keep that in mind as you choose, too.) When you make a reservation, you select whether you'd like to eat in the enoteca or the osteria. My husband and I shared a few dishes: the Insalata Romana (romaine and olive bread crostini with anchovy and parmigiano dressing); the Mezza Rigatoni Carbonara (with duck bacon, October beans, egg yolk, and parmigiano); the lamb meatballs (with creamy polenta, castelvetrano olives, and crispy cipollini onions); and a dessert (I can't find their dessert menu online but I believe it was an Italian cream cake). They were kind of enough to split everything, since we were sharing - always appreciated. My favorite dishes were easily the first two. The salad was classic with a twist (I enjoyed the olive bread crostini instead of a Caesar's more traditional crouton), and and I thought the dressing was appropriately anchovy-forward (if your menu says anchovy, I want to taste the anchovy, am I right?!). I also really enjoyed the pasta. I couldn't believe how much duck bacon flavor got into the sauce itself - you didn't need to get a piece of the duck bacon to get the flavor - it was everywhere. Splitting was the right thing to do here, since it was a rich dish. The next two dishes weren't as successful for me. The lamb meatballs were juicy, and I thought they were great. The polenta was a little too thick for me, and there were just way too many fried onions on the dish (it was covered like it was a green bean casserole on Thanksgiving). The dessert was a miss for us - too sweet and the icing was kind of stiff and hard, like a cake from a grocery store. It just tasted so sweet and one note - like sugar and nothing else. I wouldn't order it again. The service was great (friendly, helpful, attentive), and the restaurant is really comfortable (not stuffy, not too formal, you can definitely dress comfortably and feel at home). I enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine (I appreciated that they offer 6 and 3 oz pours, so you can try smaller glasses if you're interested in tasting a few), while my husband tried a couple of cocktails (I think he tried two different options and enjoyed both but preferred one). Overall, I enjoyed our meal at Cinghiale. I would have changed a few things about a couple of dishes we tried or maybe just ordered differently, but the courses we really enjoyed, the service, and the ambiance really made it a nice evening. I would definitely return, and I'd probably check out the osteria side next for something different!

Staff was on top of their game,not your average Italian restaurant,very high end,unbelievable Italian wine list,not cheap,The food was delicious ,not your typical Italian style ,we started off with their cheese and meat platter and then moved on to our main course The ambience hits you as soon as you walk in the restaurant Difference experience than your average Italian restaurant

This review is painful to write. For years I've sent people here to see what Baltimore can do. Great food! Reasonably priced (full disclosure, family celebrations are mostly at Charleston next door). And a beautiful view! On the water. With a walkway next to east Harbor hotels. Tonight I loved the cheese but the food was way too spicy to eat. Painfully spicy. Uncomfortable to eat . Not enjoyable. When I told the waitress I couldn't eat it due to the spice she said yeah, she has heard that before. I suggested that she bring some bread. "I guess I can do that" It's not that the food wasn't good. It was inedible due to the spice. The cheese appetizer was creamy and a 10/10. The main course was straight hot sauce. Staff said great would you like to order more?How about ordering dessert? I couldn't eat the food ordered, and I didn't want to order more. Waitstaff wasn't helpful "should I bring you the check? I got another glass of wine, but staff brought the bill with the wine. This place has been open 19 years. It is a close cousin to the best that Baltimore has to offer. When good, this place is great. Tonight wasn't one of those nights.

I came to Cinghiale to dinner one evening with my sister, and we had a good experience. We ordered the rigatoni, which was okay in taste. The branzino was very good, so we enjoyed that. For dessert, we ordered the Italian cream cake. It came pretty cold, but I also just wasn't a huge fan of it. On the other hand, service was really great. The waitstaff were all really friendly and attentive.

Cinghiale is still such a great restaurant I keep coming back to for food and service. Staff are always courteous and friendly. Everything I order here is always delicious. I was recently back again for dinner with a friend and I got the Grilled Magret Duck Breast. The sauce was really flavorful and the duck was tender. My friend enjoyed his Pan Seared Swordfish. We also ended up sharing the Zabagliona Panna Cotta for dessert. It was so light and fluffy. Always a great experience here.

Panna cotta

Food: Bread - cold and nothing special (did give another portion which is a plus) Tonno Rosso crudo - It was a bit bland Local corn bisque - Soup was way too sweet - The amount of crab they included was laughable Spaghetti Neri - Good flavor but tomato sauce was a bit sweet Pappardelle - The beef was a bit dry but the flavor was decent Grilled blue fin tuna - Sear was good on the tuna and it was flavorful - Fruit was probably the best thing on the plate Pan seared swordfish - Fish was very dry - The potatoes and broccoli were crunchy and seasoned well Affogato - ice cream was sweet and creamy, a good contrast to the bitter espresso Zabaglione - It was light and fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet Service: service was great; everyone was nice and attentive Ambiance: it is very romantic and intimate, there's even a little candle and flowers on the table Price: it was $85 for 4 courses, which is extremely overpriced for how mediocre the food was Overall I am a bit disappointed and would not return

Caesar salad with white anchovies

Gorgeous space that makes you feel like you're in an Italian trattoria. Featuring gorgeous lighting that makes everyone looks spectacular. We stopped in late at about 930 just about half an hour before they closed for some pizza. Know that the crust is made in the Abruzzo style, which means it's on a focaccia so it's soft and pillowy. I had mine with guanciale with mozzarella, my companion had a margarita. Keep in mind they don't do any customizations so I had to pick off the hot red peppers off my pizza, which seems like a shame to throw away food when it could've just been left off. But, pizzas were hot and tasty.

Cinghiale never misses. Great location in harbor east its easy to get to. Inside the restaraunt has great ambiance The Service is always attentive. Food is delicious across the board. Go for Happy Hour!

Silence as he devours it is the clue that tells me it's more than just good it's excellent. Spinach cavatelli: phenomenal. All the flavors play off of each other well. The spinach and mint complement the lamb beautifully. The ricotta pulls it all together. Very very well done. Rigatoni alla vodka: classic flavor, excellent execution. The heat is subtle and comes in at the end of the bite. Nice umami from the cheese and the pasta is cooked perfectly al dente. Sauce to pasta ratio is exactly right with the sauce perfectly coating the pasta. Seems simple, but to get it this level of "right" takes attention to detail Red bliss potatoes: they even did justice to their sides! Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, perfect amount of truffle so That it isn't overpowering. Get the gelato for dessert you absolutely won't regret it.
