Penne Primavera (Dinner)

Started with the fried Calamari, which where great! The calamari size was much larger than what you'd get at chain restaurants and they weren't overly fried. I got the penne primavera, it tasted delicious, vegetables were also well made. Truly tasted like a homemade meal. My partner got a slice of the cheese, pepperoni & veggie pizza which were also very good and much better compared to chain pizza parlors. They had friendly service which combined with the cozy atmosphere made you feel at home. Definitely plan on coming back for more! I've attached a picture of the penne primavera!

Chicken Wings (Chesapeake)
Robin C.

I ordered the chicken Original Cheesesteak. It was very good and flavorful 9.5/10. It comes with fries. The fries were very soft (which I like) but they fidnt have any seasoning. After I added some Oldbay and they were perfect! I also ordered Chicken Wings (yes I know I'm fat) but they were just okay, 7/10. The wings come with celery. Also, don't mind the pictures, I started eating before I took the pictures. We've already established I'm fat. This ordered was delivered so I'm unsure of the establishment and parking etc.

Food was good! Pizza you order is different than the display pizza which is fine just smaller. Service was fast and friendly. The place is a nice size and clean.

Penne arrabiata

I wish I knew more places like Little Italy Annapolis in Baltimore because this place was on point. Classic Italian place where you order pasta, sandwiches, pizza, Stromboli and more and eat on checkered tablecloth booths and tables! Highly recommend the garlic knots! They were cheery and flavorful and lovingly dunked in butter. I got the penne arabbiata and it was so yummy! Al dente pasta with a slightly spicy tomato sauce and two pieces of garlic bread. So happy that my friend who is local recommended this place because everything from the cheesesteak and Stromboli were on point! Classically prepared food that's affordable and delicious without all of the pomp and circumstance.

Veggie Lovers Pizza & Supreme Cheesesteak Sub
Starvel D.

Upon entry, I was greeted by the cashier. He was really helpful & provided great customer service. He answered my questions & gave me recommendations. I ended up ordering two slices of pizza and an order of garlic knots. The smallest order is three knots. Let's start with these garlic knots. As soon as I opened the container the smells just hit me. All that garlicky, yummy goodness was overwhelming in the best way. OMG! I ordered an extra marinara sauce because I'm a saucy kind a girl. The garlic knots remind me of a cinnamon roll because of the way they are shaped and layered. Not typical of most garlic knots that I've had but still very good. The cashier told me that the veggie pizza was his favorite and it might just be my favorite now too. It's one of the best veggie pizzas I've had in a while in terms of the flavor. I don't know if they season the vegetables or if it's just from the sauce and the cheese but it just has a really nice flavor to it. It doesn't just taste like raw veggies on pizza. There was spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, red onions, roasted red peppers, and it just tasted really good together. I wish I could've gotten two slices but there was only one left. My other slice of pizza was the supreme pizza. It had pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. This was good too, no complaints. Overall a pretty good meal. I think I'll be back to Little Italy to grab some slices and some garlic knots in the near future.

Cheese pizza

This place was so good!! We came here after not being able to kayak at Spa creek. The pizza was really a nice surprise.. loved how thin it was and how crunchy the edges were. Would definitely eat here again sometime soon!

They verbally confirmed my order of mussels linguine at pickup. I drive 15 minutes home and open the container to find this.

Edit: Upon seeing this review in a local neighborhood group, one of their employees proceeded to lie about what happened and claim that I was yelling at the employee. After someone else vouched that I didn't do that, he then changed his story and claimed something else. This is the worst treatment I've ever had at a restaurant. Having an employee lie about a customer on social media is revolting. Be warned, check your food at Little Italy. My wife ordered mussels and linguine. I got there, had them verbally confirm the order as "mussels and linguine." I drive all the way back home to find that they gave me a container of mussels, no pasta. I drive the 15min back to the store to get it replaced. When I showed the person at the counter, she said she made a mistake and was replacing it. I asked for my money back and she said, dead serious, "I can't refund you, I'm already replacing it for free" as if replacing the wrong order was something they normally would have charged money for. I ask to speak to the manager, but no one on the site had the authority to make decisions and the manager was out. So, now I'm out 40min of my time + the cost of gas and I still need to spend more time to call the manager to try and get some money back for a careless mistake that should have been dealt with on the spot. This was incredibly unprofessional and a huge waste of my time. Given Spizzico closed, I was really disappointed to have such an awful experience with Little Italy. I'll be driving the extra distance for Pasticcio from now on.

Reviews are largely positive. Diners enjoy the fresh and flavorful food, especially pizza, seafood, pasta, and garlic knots. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere are also appreciated.

Netflix and chill with a house full of ladies…read more When the stomach started to growl it was easy for the token private chef friend to make the easiest and best recommendation. Full On Craft Eats. The Toast online ordering system was easy to navigate and adorned with pictures of every menu item. I could not get past the onion rings on the starter menu hoping they would taste as good as they looked. My friend offered to split the Slammin Salmon sandwich and onion rings since she has had it before and never finished the entire thing. I took her up on it and the order was placed. A quick ask for mom to grab it on the way home and the food made its way back quickly. WOW is all I can say. When you order food to go there is a level of expectation that it will not be as good as it is at the restaurant, especially fries and onion rings. But in this instance WOW. Talk about food that travels well. Fourteen minutes away and the food was still warm, the onion rings were so crisp, and the garlic and dill aioli and onion ring sauce were just right. The Slammin Salmon was served on ciabatta bread that was not too soft not too hard, with salmon cooked perfectly. The lemon dill aioli was a game changer so much that my friend's advice to order extra was well received and committed to memory. The onion rings lived up to the hype, cooked perfectly with a crust I cannot even explain. The kind you bite into without losing the entire onion from the breading. Dip it into the sauce and you have a match made in heaven. Half the sandwich was more than enough but the next day I would have loved some leftovers. Now for the extra razzle dazzle. I left to visit a friend in DC and sent him the menu, shared my experience and he was locked in to try. Online ordering was closed since they were closing at 10pm so I called as a last-ditch effort since the anticipation was already there. The nicest most warm individual answered ten minutes before closing and was more than happy to take my order. She even made sandwich recommendations. I quickly arrived at a shopping center that was easy to get in and out of. Walking in you immediately arrive at the counter and takeout area to your left with a nice bar area a short walk past on the right. The cooks and wait staff were having the best time using the 6/7 saying that was all over social media late last year. They were considerate when they noticed I was in the restaurant, but I assured them I loved their energy. I see why the food is so good because the energy shows it was made with great vibes and laughter all around. As I grabbed the bag to leave the hostess stopped me to add another fork and extra napkins since I would need them to add the pickled veggies on my sandwich. Such a nice touch. Thirty plus minutes to DC and the food still did not need to be reheated. The Mai Thai sandwich was a hit with flavors that married well and the onion rings delivered again. The Spicy Thai wings were good for wings but typical. They had a lot to compete with. Full On Craft Eats Annapolis, not to be confused with Rockville, is an experience you will want to repeat again and again. Good food fast that travels well (yes that is a thing). A great addition to any table worth gathering at. I did it twice in one day!!

It's a small place in a strip mall that's just outside of the nice historic part of Annapolis…read more Nonetheless, it was quite busy when I stopped in, and I was lucky to get a table. The menu has some vegetarian selections, and I opted for a unique dish of tofu with pineapple and some savory sauce. I was not convinced this combination would work, but the sauce was excellent and the pineapple stood out without clashing. They offered me a house hot sauce and it was powerful stuff. A Thai tea came with rice-based creamer; most of these use dairy and occasionally coconut, but I think rice was appropriate and was filling without being heavy. And they claim to source their tea from Vietnam and the tea flavor came through strongly. I was surprised that they didn't have more rolls on the menu, and there aren't a ton of places like this in Annapolis, but the fresh and intriguing flavors are clearly a draw.

As a Vietnamese person, it satisfied my hunger, but the food didn't taste as authentic. I see all…read morethe great awards they have for Annapolis, but I wonder if it's because there are not as many Vietnamese restaurants there. I got the pho dac biet and the bun bo hue. Both came with lots of protein, but the broth wasn't it. Also, the bun bo hue came with skinny noodles instead of thick noodles. It also doesn't have pork knuckle, and the pork blood isn't good quality either. The pho meat came with fatty pieces and a salty broth. When entering, you're free to sit wherever you'd like. The server interacts with you when you order, and serves you the bill mid-meal making you feel dismissed. Overall, it wasn't a huge disappointment, but I don't see myself coming back.

The quality it still similar, I just appreciate when the ethnicity of the food matches the staff, when possible. But, the staff is friendly and the service is quick. Only thing I don't like is that they are open until 9:PM but it seems if you come after 8:30 they are cleaning up and don't really want to serve you. They should serve until closing time. This is not uncommon in restaurants, but you know... sometimes you really want that bowl of Pho! The search engines list them as OPEN, but they really aren't. I like it and will keep returning. I think we only have 4 Pho places in the Annapolis area (this, Eastport, Severna Park and Davidsonville) so we need to keep them all in business! :)

We arrived to a mostly empty restaurant with lots of available seating...or so we thought. After waiting several minutes at the front before the hostess returned to seat us, we were taken to a booth that was imminently next to other guests and were informed the next both over, entire row near the back and the entire row next to the patio were reserved (for a parties that didn't arrive the entire time we were there) when we asked if anywhere else was available. Avoid the air fried chicken products - the chicken tenders and chicken sandwich were both paper thin and extremely dry. Our server seemed as though she would rather be anywhere else than serving our table, food was delivered by someone in a "chef's" coat, drinks were refilled by another server who happened to be walking by and noticed our glasses were empty and a manger checked in on us (who we shared our concerns with and who offered a replacement option) all while our server took care of another table, or sat in a private dining room at the back of the restaurant chatting with other staff. As for the ambiance - there really isn't any other than open and bright? Maybe it's better later in the evening or on the weekend, but as far as week nights - it's fairly mainstream. We keep returning to True Food as the healthier option hoping that the service, food quality and execution will someday match the price and location; however, this was likely our last experience.

The Thai food, I could have definitely did without. Order up front at the counter and you can either dine in or take it to go. Seems like most decide to take it to go as your meal comes in a to-go container. Note they don't have plates, so if you plan to dine in, you'll have to get creative with sharing the dishes. We decided on the wonton soup, drunken noodles with beef, and fried rice with chicken. The wonton soup wasn't bad and came with a decent amount of wontons (made with minced chicken). Both the noodles and rice dish came with more vegetables than needed. My drunken noodles came with chicken (not beef as ordered) and was more like a stir fry. Also not spicy like the drunken noodles I'm used to. The fried rice was okay, but lacked that fried rice taste. The Thai iced tea was also just okay - super sweet. The donuts were on point - soft, fluffy, not too sweet. Highly recommend these over the Thai food (hopefully it was an office day).

We were immediately greeted and taken care of, which was a great start! The crispy kale was HANDS DOWN one of the best kale dishes I've ever had!!! It was so good that I'd honestly come back just for that alone. I also ordered the crab bucatini, which was delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente, and I loved all the different textures and flavors in the dish. I'll admit, looking at the menu, I initially thought this might be one of those overly hippie places that tries a little too hard, with a limited selection that doesn't necessarily look all that appetizing on paper. But wow, was I wrong! Don't let the menu fool you. This place is absolutely worth trying, and the crispy kale alone is reason enough to stop by! They also make their own soda! My one gripe is the "labor of love" tax. I'm not the biggest fan of these extra fees, especially when you're already paying for your meal and tipping.

The Ribeye was also good and cooked exactly as requested, although I wasn't a big fan of the accompanying sauce. We finished with the Coconut Panna Cotta. We also tried the Calm for a Cure charity cocktails. They were good, but a little on the sweet side for my taste. The service couldn't have been better. Our server checked on us without hovering, kept our water glasses filled, and brought the food out quickly. She really helped make the evening enjoyable. The restaurant was attractive and clean, including the bathroom. It was relatively quiet, with just a little noise from the bar, and comfortable for conversation. Dinner was a little pricey, but I felt it was worth it. One thing to be aware of: our bill included a 4% "Labor of Love" service charge for employee benefits, separate from gratuity. Overall, a very good choice for date night in Annapolis.
