Went for our anniversary. Amazing! Staff, vibe, and food were all amazing. Pierogies were to die for. The salad was perfect. Get the trout dip...that bread was 10/10. We got the soft shell crab pizza which was good. We got a delicious free dessert and the spicy margaritas were amazing! read more

Really awesome. Had heard big reviews and expected to be a little disappointed but it was the opposite. Everything we had was really good and the catfish & crab stew was legitimately the best dish I've had in Baltimore in the past 7 years. I will be back for that without a doubt. Great service too. First time trying it and it's already at least a top 5 Baltimore restaurant read more

Located at the end of a row of row homes, little Donna feels like you are invited into a Polish grandma's home. From the wallpaper and pictures on the wall, to the furniture and upholstery that is unapologetically shabby chic, this place lives up to the home style cooking vibe. Recommended if you are down for filling Polish food in Upper Fells. We walked in on an early weekend afternoon and were able to get a seat without a reservation, but it is a small place so reservations are recommended for a weekend dinner. We started with a tasty cabbage pancake which is like an Eastern European version of a Kimchi pancake and very tasty. I got the pierogis with chili oil and brats and sauerkraut. They were amazing, crispy outside with soft mashed potatoes and although don't look like much, they were super filling and I needed a doggie bag. My partner got their tavern pizza which was delicious and tastes like it was made in a brick oven. read more

Delicious!! You can tell the owner puts so much love into his food. The drinks were yummy and refreshing, the vibe and decor is very fun, lots to look at! The pirogies with sausage and kraut was a stand out and the pies tasted so nostalgic. It's a good spot for a date night or with friends. The service was also great. Can't wait to come back and bring more people. Its a gem for sure. read more

Oh, come on you think, how can such a tiny, but 100% heart-charming, little neighborhood restaurant be so fun, cute, and DELICIOUS! As out-of-towners, we have only visited twice, and it's worth the wait in line at opening to get a spot if you aren't able to plan well in advance! We loved their different but flavorful pizza pies, the pirogi, the fish dip, the wine choices, warm and welcoming staff, lace curtains, and all around best-Baltimore vibe. We wish them long time success and that we can come back again soon! A. & S. Tobolowsky (It is the best little restaurant we've ever visited!) read more

What an amazing gem! Have dined in and ordered takeout, and both times the quality of the food was amazing. Their recent write-up in TimeOut has made them extra busy, so come early for happy hour at 5pm for a cozy table inside now that temps have dropped. In warmer weather, there are a few outdoor tables. Either inside, outside, or to take home...order the pierogies and the pizza bianca! read more

We had the pleasure of enjoying dinner at Little Donna's on my last visit to Baltimore. I emailed for a reservation a few weeks before our visit (a must!). The restaurant is intimate, but bustling, the staff was warm and engaging, and the food was delicious. Do yourself a favor and don't skip the pickle plate or the side of icebox ranch (which comes in a giant bowl and you have to resist eating with a spoon). I would definitely return next time I'm in town! read more

Happy to have Little Donna's in the neighborhood! It is extremely quirky with delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. There is something on the menu for everyone and you wont be disappointed with the cocktails or food! Great for a date night or double date for sure! Atmosphere is very quaint... it is an old building with vintage decor and lace curtains... so kinda feels like a cool grandma's house. The tables have white table cloths and a bottle with fresh flowers. Very cute and welcoming. Staff is super friendly and attentive, great with recommendations and helping navigate the menu too. Cocktails are delicious and top notch for the area! I was pleasantly surprised with the Grandma Tuts, but the Taco Tuesday was the real winner! Food was absolutely delicious! Here is the rundown from July 14, 2022 - food changes weekly, so it might not be exactly what is on the menu if you go: -- Pierogies - very delicious, in a chili oil which was great, topped with sour cream... I think this is a menu staple, as it should be! -- Homemade Pickle Plate - so good, a LOT of things on here, I have never had pickled watermelon rinds and that was the table favorite! So unique. -- Crab Dip Focaccia - Delicious! The dip was on top of huge pieces of focaccia, not what we expected, but I really loved this dish. -- Watermelon Salad - this also had melon and spices and lots of herbs on it, it was very unique and a lot of food, we couldn't finish this. -- Tavern Pizza - delicious, I would definitely get this again. ** Ostrowski's Kielbasa Stuffed Pork Schnitzel - this entree was the table favorite, all of us said we would get this next time we come! It was so good and a lot of food. -- SouthWestern Grilled Petite Filet - this looked good, TONS of food on this plate as well. -- Olive Oil Polenta Cake - peach compote was so good with this cake, very delicious! We all were pleasantly surprised by Little Donna's and cannot wait to return! They have a few outdoor tables and quite a few indoor tabled along with bar seating, so something for everyone! read more

Little Donna's might be my new favorite spot in Baltimore! This hidden gem is located in a charming little row-home in Upper Fells (my guess is it won't be hidden for much longer) and offers traditional Polish/Slavic food, as well as American dishes and pizza options. The pierogies are an absolute must have! They reminded me of my Polish aunts homemade ones, very large and packed perfectly. The oil and toppings were a nice flavorful touch and it's worth getting the sausage and kraut with it. For our main dishes we split the Green Chili Chicken Pot Pie and the Kielbasa Stuffed Pork Schnitzel. Both dishes blew us away. The chicken pot pie was so unique and flavorful, very different then your tradition chicken pot pie. The Kielbasa/Schnitzel was delicious as well, both meats complimented each other perfectly. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Their pizza looked amazing and we heard it's influenced from the world-renowned Pizzeria Bianca. read more

This is the coziest and cutest place! We of course had to check out what all of the hubbub was about and we were so pleasantly surprised! It's a pizza place at its heart, but with a homemade feel. I've been to verde more times than I care to share but this place feels almost like I'm eating in a family friend's house. They have seasonal specials and the ingredients are all so fresh. The lobster salad we got was outstanding and a standout for sure. The service was stellar and the pizza was so good. It's impossible not to overeat! We didn't even have room for dessert! I can't wait to come back! read more

We came here for a birthday dinner and have a new favorite restaurant. It was cozy and comfortable, and the service was excellent. My husband and I split 3 starters: the pickle plate, the classic pierogis, and the scallop special with spaetzle. We both loved each dish but the pierogis were definitely the winner of the night. We split both the apple pie and rice pudding - both were wonderful. Best whipped cream ever. The pizza looked amazing and we'll definitely be back to try it next time! read more

We had a disappointing follow-up from our first experience, which was absolutely terrific. Two of the appetizers we had ordered our first time didn't taste the same the second time -- basically unrecognizable. The cabbage pancakes were burned and the pierogis were heavy. They were edible but nothing you'd go back to the restaurant to eat again. We tried the chicken with spaetzle, which was okay, but the chicken was a little burned. We tried the tomato pie, which was good. We had raved to our family and brought them with confidence to enjoy what had been a great experience, and they were satisfied with what they ordered. I guess the point is that you can get a great meal on the right night, but you can't count on it. We'll give it another shot at some point, but our expectations will be much lower. That first meal was truly the best food we had ever eaten. The service and ambience remained very welcoming. read more

Little Donna's has big flavor (in a totally clean way). We got in as walk ins on a Thursday night. We had lobster pierogi, beef tartare, and a cheese pie. All were excellent but I was most pleasantly surprised by the cheese pie. Having grown up in northern NJ I am particularly about pizza but was impressed with the pie at Little Donna's. And after traveling to dozens of countries (including Italy) I'm not sure I've been to a place that can pull off pizza and pierogis at the same time. BTW, the service was excellent and the space is where you want to be. EAT HERE! read more

Another night at little donna's, another great meal! Just wanted to update my review with pictures. Again we went without a reservation right when they opened and there was already a line. A foursome ahead of us for their last inside table, but we were able to be seated right away at an outside table. They don't have outdoor heaters so dress warm! It wasn't too bad though, especially when you get a cocktail in you. read more

I have a crush on Little Donna's. I was so impressed during my first visit to this quaint corner bistro that I made a reservation for a return visit before leaving! It's tough to single out a highlight because every aspect was so charming. Their spicy margarita was love at first sip, I had to restrain myself to slow down and savor every bit. The smoked trout dip was unexpectedly elevated, served atop warm, soft, toasty focaccia and garnished with fresh herbs and veggies. And, the pizza....well, it was like that scene in Ratatouille when a bite whisks Ego back to his childhood enjoying the comfort of his mother's cooking. I haven't had pizza like that in a loooooooong time. It's so good. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. We dined at the bar and very much enjoyed Eddie's attentive service and company. The space itself is lively and cozy. Looking forward to a second date with my new crush! read more

This place has been on my list to try for months even before nyt mentioned it. It was sooo delicious. This tiny hole in the wall has some of the best food I've eaten in baltimore and most interesting and unique dishes. Service was fast and they have a happy hour too! Walked in around 6 and got seated right away luckily! Definitely want to come back here to try more things on the menu read more

What an amazing place. It is a cozy little restaurant with amazing food! We enjoyed the lobster pierogi (amazing!) as well as the homemade pickle plate with deviled eggs. Yum!!! We also order the Summer Pie and it was simply delicious. The staff and atmosphere just topped everything off. My only "complaint" was we enjoyed so many wonderful dishes for dinner we left no room for dessert! They looked amazing. Do not think twice about eating at this lovely little restaurant. Little Donna's is our new favorite at Fells Point. read more

What a fun spot for a casual dinner and drinks! I don't have much experience with trying Eastern European food so I was excited to try this place! I came for happy hour with some friends and we sat outside and it was lovely! My favorite dish was the crab palacinke, I had never had a palacinke before but it was absolutely delicious and the pepper jam was mmmmm. We also got the bianca pizza which was really yummy as well. Lastly, of course we had to get an order of the pierogies which were pretty simple but tasted like comfort. I hope to come back soon to try more things on the menu! read more

Excellent food & atmosphere. Service is spotty. One server in particular gets overwhelmed and rude. We try to find a seat at the bar to avoid him. Yea he is that ridiculous to deal with. He's given us the check when we're still eating and wanted more wine. Another time we wanted to order desserts when he brought our check. He gets argumentative and snippy with customers. He's been around for a long time waiting tables around the city. He may be a great guy. But he shouldn't be waiting tables. HOWEVER that all aside, we go back for the delicious food & cocktails, while hoping for a seat at the bar. read more

Little Donna's is a great place to dine. The pizzas were amazing, with great texture and flavor. Also, the pierogies hit the spot when it came to taste. Service was top notch: drink was always filled when needed. As a person that no longer drinks but likes the taste of beer, Little Donna's had a great NA IPA as a beer replacement. The restaurant 100% deserves the recognition it has received. Go here when you get the chance. You will not be disappointed. read more

Oh my goodness! Where do I begin! I went on a 1st date with a lovely woman to 1801 Lombard street and the space was so packed for all good reasons, so we left and walked up the street where we discovered this Little Donna. Who is this Donna? How old is she? Is she pretty? Where did she come from? Does she have social media? Is she single? I had so many questions? Anyway, this is now my favorite resturant. Try anything and I promise that it'll make you a very happy soul and remind you how life is oh so amazing. The staff is friendly, funny, and busy on a Saturday night. I wish I had pictures to share but who needs pics when all you need are taste buds. This was amazing. read more

Stopped in here after we were scooting back from the O's game. We rode by and turned around immediately to check it out. We got a table inside by the window. The service was great, the food came out fast, and the chef even chatted with us about the history of the restaurant. The cocktails were delicious and the pierogies stole the show! I loved that the gaspacho was served in a glass (like in Spain). I will be back! read more

My parents and I got super lucky a few nights ago and got a table at Little Donna's for dinner on a Thursday without reservation. The ambience is great - quiet enough to talk and very cute. The service was super friendly!! We loved the cabbage pancake. We also really recommend the summertime pie. We did not like the tavern pie as much - it did not feel upscale enough for the price. Also they cut the pizza in a way that leaves one middle slice without crust which is not any of our favorite (got so greasy and floppy). I would def go again! read more

Probably my favorite restaurant in baltimore right now! I've been a handful of times and have never been let down by the food or drinks. My go to cocktail is "Granny's Meds" but you can't go wrong with their list. The pierogies are a must, I'm not even kidding these are like little pockets of magic with sour cream and a drizzle of chili garlic oil. If they have the schnitzel on the menu, I would recommend you get it. If not, their pizzas are fresh and always enough to have leftovers to take home. Service is prompt and kind. A gem of upper fells! read more

Wow I'm shocked that this place doesn't have more reviews because it is amazing. As others have mentioned, cute little place in a row home. My friends and I came on a late Friday night, short wait for a table to get cleaned so we hung out at the bar. Drinks were so good--particularly the Granny's meds (the drink was actually unavailable bc it sold out on one ingredient but the bartender did an excellent substitution that was still super yum). We shared the Serbian pancakes, smoked fish dip, and the pierogis. I honestly wasn't expecting much but was absolutely blown away. My favorite by far was the Serbian pancakes: the perfect bite of crab with freshness and tang of the apple/fennel salad, heat and sweetness from the cherry bomb tomato jam, and creamy and savory from the cheese. Ugh I want more just thinking about it. The smoked fish isn't a dip at all and came presented on beautiful bread with dill and radish slices. The pierogis were good--the fried onions and chili oil were so yum. Can't wait to come back to try the pies! read more

The urge to gate keep this adorable little restaurant Wow, this place is so special and a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. We went to dinner there for the first time recently. We were just about the last walk in they were able to take and got seats at the bar. The bartender was so friendly and welcoming; when he learned it was our first time in, he gave us the happy hour drink special which we had just missed by 15 mins. All of the food we ordered was excellent (the bartender helped us out with some awesome recommendations). The menu had a perfect variety of unique options and the dishes are truly special in the way that you can't get this type of food at just any restaurant. We ended up ordering a bunch of small plates since we wanted to try so many things! You can tell the owners and staff put a lot of love into this restaurant. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Highly recommend!! I really loved the vintage decor. The food was delicious - the arugula and peach salad was very summery, the pierogis were delicious, and the smoked carolina trout dip was so good if you like smoked fish. The blackberry tarte was just an added cherry on top - went very quickly. Also major shoutout to the delicious drinks - highly recommend the old grandpa tut (earl grey infused bourbon) and the rhubharb lemon crush! Server was very helpful and everyone was super nice. Will definitely be back!! read more

Loved this place. Visited Baltimore from Philly a couple weeks ago and stopped here at someone's suggestion. -Food was amazing. We got small plates (pierogis, the pancake thingy, the pickle plate) and seasonal (?) entrees (chicken potpie entree, seafood stew). All really good, especially the entrees. -Drinks were good, too. We had the dad's beer on ice for fun (it wasn't amazing but it was fun!) and then a few of the beers. -Service was VERY FRIENDLY and not at all snobby. One of the chefs stopped to talk to us for a bit and was really sweet. -Interior is cute without being cutesy. Overall, I'd say they do their thing really well but also don't take themselves too seriously. read more

Keep it Secret? Nah! My evening here at this charming European Alley vibe "house place" was a welcome little world to simply chill in. That was enough for my simple tastes. THEN the FOOD arrives. Wow. I may never need to make another pierogi or sausage , sauerkraut or schnitzel (which I will get next time). It s a joyful homey place with remarkable and I swear memorable food. Its a treasured babysitter. Do friends really need to know your new thing? Next thing I know Im bringing some friends in Dec. How'd that happen? It's that Good I had to share.
