    Tomato crostini
    Janet L.

    A lovely restaurant in Federal Hill with lots of street parking nearby. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Everything my party had to eat was absolutely delicious. They make their pastas and pizza dough in house. We had the summer tomato crostini and I had the Fungo Rossi pizza. The crust was fluffy and crunchy all at the same time. I had dessert also - I forgot the name of the mango cream and almond shortcake. Phenomenal service as well! Our server checked in often and our water supply was always well stocked! I forgot to mention the pecorino was refreshing!

    Love sitting at the bar for HH. Stephen rocksss! Pizza always a solid choice. Smash burger thursday kicks ass!

    Awesome food and wonderful, attentive service. Even dishes you have eaten a thousand times before at a thousand different places can be made with a delightful twist .. and that was our experience at Hersh's .. not to mention we did not have a reservation and the owner was kind enough to make space for us inspite of being over booked.. lovely interiors and patio.as well!! I'm not a local but would love to visit again when I'm in town ..

    Girl Dinner The J.D. Salinger Salad + Thrice-cooked truffle fries. We sat at the bar, service was quick, ambiance was lovely, and the garlic was STRONG (in the best way). Perfect pit stop to kick off girls night because thanks to these dishes, we can ward off the men with our breath.

    Finally! I've been waiting for what seems like forever to try Hersh's and it did not disappoint. Before we begin, you should always shoot to have a reservation before trying your luck with a walk in. Inside is beautiful but it is not a big spot. Service and the cocktails were great, but the food totally stole the show. The pizza is amazing and all the other entrees that passed our table looked delicious too. Hersh's had great wine selection and the Something Green cocktail was delightful. Be sure to give it a try before they close for the season!

    Espresso Martini & Focaccia

    I came to Hershey's to get an espresso martini and that was amazing! They have a later happy hour (till 7) so I was also able to get a tasty Paloma and some focaccia. It wasn't really busy for a Friday & I loved the low lights!

    I haven't been to Hersh's in about 5 years due to consistently bad service. Tried it again for a friends birthday and while there were some improvements, it's clear some training is still needed and some issues are unresolved. For what it's worth, at 5pm on a Friday it was completely empty for about an hour. No one there for happy hour? Not a good sign in Baltimore. We split the stracciatella, which was actually incredible and I would highly recommend. For pizzas - we split a Salami Mommy and an Il pagliacci. Both were also good. The service was strange for how empty they were. I arrived about 30 min before my friends and simply asked if I could sit at a table outside with a drink while I waited. Then, when they arrived, we'd all move inside to our previously reversed table. They seemed baffled and noted there were reservations outside at the tables for right now. Again, restaurant is empty. They said they would check. Miraculously they were able to find a table that no one would be seated at for the next 30 min. As I sat for 30 min alone, not one single person came to sit outside. Why the confusion? Not sure. Truly the reason for the mediocre review is the petty, sneaky cake cutting fee. We brought a small cake. I have no problem with a cake cutting fee if there's a large party with a large cake as it takes time to do so. But even then, let the table know when you offer. We had THREE people and the server offered to cut the cake (didn't note there was a cake cutting fee... why?) and didn't even cut the whole cake!!! It was a small Bundt cake and he cut 3 pieces and left the rest whole. I thought he was being nice until I got a $7 charge for that. For what? Then the waitress noted they usually give you a complimentary piece of cake for your bday - well we brought our own so she didn't, which is fine, but at least wave the already ridiculous cake cutting fee! So we paid $7 for no free piece of cake and our whole cake was not cut. It's just not a way to treat people. Maybe it will be another 5 years until I return...

    Food is amazing. Highly recommend the L' Ari B pizza. Meatballs, truffle fries, and crunch salad are all also wonderful. Management is very kind and friendly, treated us very well with amazing hospitality. Servers were also great. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food you get. Lovely warm lighting inside that is not overpowering. Calm and lovely ambience inside, perfect for a special date night if you want something nice but not too crazy. Was worried about pizza portion size, but it ended up being a nice portion. Definitely believe that you should go try this place out for yourself. I can see why it has been rated and regarded so highly.

    Such a cute small place to have a good meal and great service. Our waiter was amazing and friendly, as well as the other employees. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. The food was amazing and a nice change in style from the regular. Even for just apps and drinks, this is a great place to hit up!

    The servers were so attentive and nice! The place was cute, I appreciated the touch of being our table over a lit tea candle for the ambiance. Now the food. It tasted so fresh! I wouldn't expect lemon on pizza would sound good but my mind was changed! We also ordered the crab fettuccine. It had a decent amount of crab and the noodles were very tasty. The dessert was also very light and so good. It had almonds on it and olive oil ice cream that was to die for! Can't wait to go back!

    Jasmine M.

    Solid pizza with a good vibe! Overall, really enjoyed the pizza I got -- had mushrooms and arugula and was a little spicy! We went for happy hour so I got the $7 g&t which was solid! The outdoor patio area was very cute and I was able to bring my dog! Overall, a nice, classy pizza place if you're in the area. Parking was easy to find. Of note, I've heard the pasta portions are relatively small!

    Awesome Raspberry Beret (raspberry pudding, olive oil ice cream, and crunchy chocolate flakes).

    Came back to visit with extended family, including kids. How the hell do they manage to be even more impressive in this scenario?! Perfect for a date? YES. Accommodating and welcoming for families? YES. YES? YES. We ordered pasta, pizza, meatballs, and salad for appetizers. The cocktails were on point. The bottle of Super Tuscan wine? Excellent. This can't be happening. My folks awkwardly ordered second rounds of appetizers and the server didn't even bat an eye- the polish on this place is ethereal. Five stars, no notes. If you want a restaurant that says "this is my city" then I can honestly say this is your restaurant.

I originally heard about this spot from Barstool Pizza and, even though I was about an hour away at the time, I decided it was worth the trip. I'm really glad I did. I ordered the Mushroom and Olive pizza, and honestly, it was so good I almost finished the entire large by myself. The flavors were incredible, the crust was just right, and you can really taste the quality and care that goes into every bite. If you're ever anywhere near Baltimore, this place is an absolute must-try. I love supporting small, family-owned businesses like this, and Tiny Brick Oven truly deserves the recognition. I only wish it were closer to home! Highly recommended--and big thanks to Barstool Pizza for pointing me in the right direction!

I do like pepperoni and sausage but sometimes they are salty for me. Will suggested I get two slices of cheese and a drink and I said that sounds good. He also let me try the gelato and the caramel gelato was really good. I didn't get gelato this time but I will in my next visit. The pizza was crispy and thin and not salty. How I like my NY style pizza. I will definitely be back cause I found the best pizza in Maryland and its been a long time since I have had a great pizza.

Remember, you can always BYOB. We were thrilled with their offerings. We all started off with Caesar Salads, which were very fresh and crisp with just the right amount of dressing.

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!

I had ordered ahead via Toast, grabbing a cheesesteak on a seeded roll with extra meat, onions and a light spread of mayo--assuming the seeded roll would be very crusty & rigid and need the spread to moisten it a bit. I was wrong! The roll housing the fillings was perfectly soft and able to contain all of the meat juices and cheese throughout the sandwich. I got a 9" small with extra meat assuming that's how they're presented on their social media page, and it's more than enough for one person. I'd recommend NOT getting extra meat unless you're coming with a huge appetite! I've never had a proper cheesesteak in my life until today. Truly deserving of the awards they've received.

It wasn't bad, but it just didn't have that extra seasoning or taste I was expecting. For $18 for a small cheesesteak, I was hoping to be wowed but it was just ok. Overall, it's worth trying if you're curious. I look forward to going back and trying their pizza and other menu items.

All of the baked goods displayed on the counter entice you to indulge in a sweet treat before ordering a pizza. My first visit I just settled on some cookies and a jalapeno cheddar bagel, since I was on my way elsewhere for dinner. But let me tell you how the chocolate chip cookie instantly became one of my favorite bakery cookies. And the bagel was decadent for my morning breakfast, covered in cheddar cheese with those crispy edges that bake at the base of the bagel.
