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.

Out server was super attentive - she dealt with a few clumsy spills, and even gave my Dad a petite birthday treat! Every dish was delicious. The Branzino was perfectly baked, and my favorite star of the night was the fried polenta dish! It had a delicious truffle Parmesan sauce with mushrooms which was to die for! The pesto dishes were made with basil, so no allergies for me! It's always a plus when I can taste something that would normally be made with nuts. Overall, a great time was had. We were seated in high bar chairs under great lighting and in a cozy corner for privacy. Ambiance - 10/10! Looking forward to trying their happy hour soon!

Overall the food was enjoyable and the service was friendly but the wait time will probably deteriorate me from returning.

We tried everything on the menu. For starters, we enjoyed all three options (bruschetta, crab polpette, and a potato and vegetable soup.) The highlight was the flavorful crab meatballs. For entrees, we also tried all three offerings and really enjoyed each. My favorite was the pillowy gnocchi served in a hearty, rich short rib bolognese sauce. We scraped that plate clean! Lastly, we got the tiramisu, panna cotta and cannoli for dessert. Again, we loved all three but would highly recommend the classic tiramisu. At this point, we were stuffed, but our bartender came to the table with complimentary limoncello and arancello. I had never had arancello before- I had to take home a bottle! All in all, La Tavola was a wonderful experience and we felt like family here.

With main roads and side streets finally cleared... I booked a RW dinner res at Costiera. There is a parking garage across the street for 5 dollars. We walked over (still icy ugh) but made it in and were seated. Interior was very nicely done up with wicker basket light fixtures and a nice colorful mural above the host stand. Our server AJ took great care of us- they were funny, attentive and very friendly. For restaurant week the menu honestly was fantastic with many options for every person's palate and dietary preferences. I went with the octopus appetizer, squid ink bucatini with calamari, and a pound cake with lemon curd and mint whipped cream. Every single thing I had was delicious. The octopus was grilled perfectly and tender and the bean puree and potato paired nicely. The pasta was umami and not too tomatoey or acidic. My pound cake was tasty with the tanginess of the curd pairing well with the whipped cream. My boyfriend enjoyed his mushroom soup, his mushroom bolognese rigatoni( i tried this, I would absolutely order this next time)and a decadent chocolate tart. If you're reading this and they extended their restaurant week menu, go now and enjoy a fantastic meal.

AMAZING, FANTASTIC & EXQUISITE!!…read more From the outside, I love the big planters (foliage) outside the restaurant, it catches your eye and it's aesthetically pleasing. Upon entering the restaurant, the decor (art) on walls is gorgeous! I love the red velvet like material that is the backing of the seating along the entire wall. I especially loved the dimness of the restaurant and that "real" candies are lit, it gives it a very close-knit intimate type of vibe. I ordered the branzino, it was a nice size, and it was paired with mash potatoes and asparagus of which the fish was placed over top of the mash potatoes and asparagus. The branzino was fresh and the taste was scrumptious. The mussels were in a tomato like wine sauce and it was so flavorful and delectable! My husband ordered the beef ravioli and the ravioli was so fresh and really good. The drinks were really tasty. To finish the night, we shared a cheesecake it was divine. Service was great, the food came out quick and was well-plated, and there is VIP complimentary valet. I loved everything about this restaurant and the experience that we had & we'll definitely be back.

We went for Tuesday with Morrie, where they were offering Special Pastas plus Wine for $30.00. I made a reservation for 6:00PM and requested our favorite table to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were warmly greeted and seated immediately. Our server, Christa, was at the top of her game - attentive and friendly. She started us off with home-made, warm bread, bread sticks, and a dish of seasoned olive oil. We both enjoyed a glass of Pinot Grigio that was crisp and very refreshing. We decided on Calamari Fritti as one of our appetizers, which was a great selection of fried calamari and mixed veggies lightly battered and fried to perfection and served with ranch and marinara sauce. We could not finish our appetizer, so we asked to have the remainder boxed to take home for lunch the next day. For our main course, we both chose the Fettuccine Con Short Rib Ragu. This was a beautifully presented dish of homemade fettuccine with a generous portion of short-rib ragu topped with burrata cheese. We have to say we have never experienced such a combination of flavors. The dish was amazing and more than filling. Thank you for surprising us with the delicious sorbetto with a lit sparkler and two limoncellos to celebrate my husband's birthday.

Also ordered a Caesar salad which unfortunately did not come (again, the delivery had other issues so I don't think it was the fault of the restaurant). My bf loved the cheese ravioli. He thought the filling was tasty and enjoyed the sauce. Their red sauce is a more chunky sauce with onions which I did not taste because I'm not a fan, but he would get it again. I'm still looking for a smooth sauce for some chicken parm, but no worries since the menu here has plenty of different sauce options! I enjoyed the chicken francese. The chicken was very tender and it was a generous portion. I felt it could have used a bit more flavor, but the sauce was a nice consistency and the linguine was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the complimentary rolls that came with the meal. Overall, I enjoyed this spot and will try more items in the future!

Dalesios of Little Italy has been open since 1984 and has been serving great Italian dishes in the heart of Baltimore's Little Italy. Walking inside, the restaurant is tastefully decorated. It screams old world, European charm with it's unique art adorning the walls. I'm seated in the first dining room, closest to the front door. There's a bar inside this room which adds to the Italian decor. First time here, I don't know the restaurants portion sizes. Is it family style where one plate can feed a small army? The portion size was perfect. I ordered a nice glass of Italian wine and the Scampi & Crab Alla Sardegna. The pasta dish was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfect al dente and the Scampi & Crab sauce was something unique to Baltimore. It's Crab & Shrimp simmered in a cognac, garlic & tomato cream sauce. All of this goodness is served over linguine. I love Maryland Crabs and to have them topped in a pasta dish makes my heart sing. I highly recommend this dish. My waiter was very informative, he made some great dinner suggestions but I first had to try the Scampi & Crab Alla Sardegna. The next time I come I'm going to order the Lasagna!

I can start with the service. We were quickly seated, the sever didn't introduce himself and we asked for straws for our drinks no less than three times before we were finally given straws. We also asked our server if they did anything special for birthdays, as I was in town for my birthday weekend and he blew us off rather quickly instead of engaging. For food we started with an order of garlic bread and we were quickly underwhelmed, it reminded us of Texas toast out of the freezer section and we didn't finish it. I ordered the chicken parmesan that came with broccoli, I'll start by saying the broccoli was the best thing on the plate. The food was rather bland and I felt like I could have made the same meal by grabbing a jar of marinara in the grocery store aisle. I wish I had a better review, I wanted to love this place but in between the food and service I was underwhelmed.
