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

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

An absolute gem of a place with delicious foods. The restaurant has such a unique charm and is perfect for intimate dates with friends, family, and/or loved ones. Truly enjoyed the food, drinks, and interactions with all the workers there. The bartender was also incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Little Donna's truly knows how to treat guests like old friends. 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 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

Pizza was so good! Cramped and hot, but cute atmosphere. Pierogi dough was a little thick, but I'd definitely go back for the pizza. read more

Little Donna’s - Pierogis - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

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

Little Donna's is a charming and cozy establishment. Their most beloved menu item is the mouthwatering tavern pie! Additionally, they occasionally surprise their customers with off-menu items that are simply mind-blowing. Robbie has done an incredible job bringing a much-needed restaurant to Baltimore.

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

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

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

Pizza oven happened to be down the day we attended, and we were so happy it was. Excellent service and waiter who knew the menu very well with great recommendations for food and drink! Love the atmosphere very comfortable for our group 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

Have been dying to try Little Donna's for months. It did not disappoint! Our server Susan was kind, knowledgeable and helpful as she walked us through the wine list and menu. Her recommendations were excellent. For food we ordered the cabbage pancake, traditional pierogis, and tavern pie. The house ranch w/ the tavern pie was next level. Will definitely be back! 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. Now my mission needs to be to make this place so busy they need a bigger location to ensure we all get a table read more

One of new fave dinner spots in town! I love the atmosphere at Little Donna's and it definitely feels like you are not in the middle of Fells Point.

Service was attentive and friendly. read more

LOBSTER PIEROGIES. That is all I have to say. The most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life. The chicken and dumplings were amazing , too. read more

Our first visit we loved it all. Second visit not so much. Its an effort to get to at rush hour from the county. So, two accidents and a hunt for parking, I'm no really keen on a time limit on my dinner. If that's the case service should be quick! My chicken was terribly dry. I should have sent it back. The pizza was so heavy with banana peppers could barely eat for the heat. When our waitress informed us we had 13 minutes to finish up, we skipped dessert. Why not put up a sign, eat and get the hell out. Sometimes fame is a double edged sword. And for heavens sake get an espresso machine. read more

Have gone to Little Donna's a few times now and every outing has been a flavor experience. The pickle plate with deviled eggs, trout dip and their pizzas are all a hit. read more

Wow.. just wow. Legit best service. Great cocktails. Sitting outside made it feel like we were in a small town. Now, the pizza.. it is arguably one of the better spot in the whole city. Up there with verde (but not 30 dollars for a pie). The crust is crunchy perfection. Keep this place a secret ;) read more

Little Donna’s - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I was in Baltimore alone for the week and wanted someplace for dinner where I could feel at home and get a great meal. Little Donna's was recommended by someone @ Hopkins as well as Yelp. Bingo! LD's is like my grandma's kitchen ( (if my Grandma could make killer pizzas, world-class pierogis, and luscious drinks). Two words: go there. read more

Full disclosure: my husband knows the owner, so we came for an event of friends joining to support the establishment of this restaurant. That said, I actually don't know him, and I'd not skew people astray on their hard earned Yelp review time! So, here is my honest assessment. I grew up in Baltimore, but had never been to this particular neighborhood, apparently called "North Fells Point". It appears to be a gentrified neighborhood a little further north than what I think of as Fells, which is on the water. Due to this location, parking can be difficult, but we found a free space on the street. The restaurant itself is in the space of an old neighborhood spot that had at some point likely been 2 row houses with a wall taken down between them. The point? It's small. There is a bar on one side and some seating on the other. The food is very good, and the prices are pretty good too. The drink I ordered was the best I've had in a long time, with watermelon juice and fresh ginger. The pickle plate was fantastic. It is compromised of various pickled vegetables and a few deviled eggs. There are several available pizza options, made with fresh dough and mozzarella that appears to be made in-house, and was very tasty. The crab pancakes were basically crepes and they were good, but quite heavy. So I recommend sharing them as a appetizer. We also tried the brownie dessert, which was good and a nice portion. Overall, it was a nice dinner. Glad that I can genuinely recommend it! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner. It is very cute , quiet, clean. The service was good. We had the smoked salmon dip (normally trout) served over house made focaccia. It had mildly spicy beets, fresh dill and a crisp radish slice. It was terrific. We had a tavern pie, which was very good. We ordered the pierogies...amazing! Do get the sauerkraut and sausage that is offered as a side..delicious and well worth it! We ordered the Schnitzel which was very good. We all shared the brownie parfait and the biscuit with strawberries and cream. They were good, but not as outstanding as the food. Our faves were the salmon dip, pierogies and Schnitzel. All in all, a darling place and very good meal. read more

I came here on opening weekend and I've been dying for a Yelp page so I could give them 5 stars!! We ordered the watermelon, pierogis and the Bianca pizza. I'm polish so pierogis have to be good and they exceeded my expectations. All was excellent!! The restaurant is cute, cozy and the owner couldn't be nicer and has so much passion for what he's doing. Ask for Brian! He was our server and was great at his job and so kind. Run to this place! 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

Some of the best food Baltimore has to offer. The pizzas were simple and surprisingly good. Nice laid back atmosphere.

Ward & I were in Baltimore for a family event & we ended up at Little Donna's. What a gem! A former tavern (still with a gorgeous bar in the front room) it's now a small, cute restaurant. Staff was super friendly. PRO - That Clam Tavern Pie was delicious! As was the Coddie Cakes. Those are thing in crab rich Maryland? Who knew! Ward had the steak & veggies & didn't even leave paint on his plate. Didn't have room for the yummy sounding desserts tho, sadly. CON- The wine list is limited. Plenty of beers & mixed stuff tho, but I like my wines. SO- If you are in Baltimore or are just a foodie, make a point to seek out Little Donna's for some interesting, delicious food. Wish we lived closer. But you GO!! read more

Made a reservation a month in advance. Needless to say it was well worth the wait. Had a small dining area which gave a similar vibe to eating in someone's home. Our server was fantastic and checked in with us the perfect amount and did not rush us at all. Everything we tasted was amazing! The pierogis and apple dessert were our favorite dishes and we could not go back again without getting those, absolute musts! Felt at home and very much looking forward to coming back. Lives up to all the hype! read more
