a plate of dumplings and dipping sauce
Gita G.

My son discovered this spot a couple weeks after moving to Baltimore, we were looking for a good spot to grab some good chinese food, so he hopped onto Yelp to check out some of the carryout spots in the area. This spot had great reviews, so we decided to give it a try......I'm so glad it didn't disappoint. The food was on point, I did have to make my own Mumbo Sauce, because they dont carry it, I dont even know if she knew what I was talking about. I guess that a DC thang, lol

Chicken Yat Ka Mein thicker noodles with onion and a hard boiled egg with a slight black bean sauce. Feb 2023
J K.

What a brilliant find! Some surprisingly authentic dishes at good prices and friendly service. Their chicken yat ka mein was a stir fry of noodles with slices of chicken, onions, and a whole hard boiled egg in a black bean sauce, a bit like jja jang myun. The noodles are thicker than lo mein noodles, but yat ka mein is slightly less expensive. Their peppersalt shrimp had 12 fried jumbo shrimp served on a bed of broccoli, cooked with peppersalt, diced chili peppers, and Sichuan pepper. Both seemed very well done.

Food was gross. Everything tasted like curry and I didn't even order curry. Sauce was congealed. Won't be back. Threw both dishes out.

Overall one of the best restaurants in Baltimore. Ambiance and food options are tremendous…read more Food: you have the option to select from 3-5 choices. These do not need to be from different sections, you could select 5 from the land if you so pleased. The choices were delicious and they did a great job with the presentation. Alcohol: a som is available which provides great advice for good options. Fun, but standard, cocktails. Service: overall great, they did an excellent job catering to everyone at the same time and ensuring dishes were distributed at the same time.

The food is objectively excellent. Presentation is very elegant, the four course meal is plenty…read morewithout feeling stuffed. The service is very friendly and kind. If I had to pick things out that made this not be a five star experience I'd pick the following: -for 600 dollars for two people you'd want it to be the best meal you've ever had. It's not that. -was there anything I could say was the best thing i have ever eaten? Not really it's all well prepared but the only thing i would really crave again is the espresso mousse. -the bread being room temp/burnt bring its down , i understand going for the rustic French look, but slicing stale bread and serving it with house butter is meh. In general I'd say , it's a great restaurant, the food and drinks are top quality, but when you're paying as much as you're paying for a special meal it doesnt necessarily take the ball across the goal line. My Chinese takeout the night before was more satisfying.

Where do I begin... came here to celebrate my birthday with my husband for a lunch date, and they…read morewere truly a delight. Our waitress Bethany was so sweet and personable. Very attentive and made us feel so special. The entire space was so beautiful. Every area had its special touches of yellow and lemons. Black and white tiling on the floors, vegetation and lemons hanging from the outdoor sitting area. The place was immaculate. Food was amazing. We had a ragu dish topped with mushrooms, carbonara, and Kobe beef meatball topped with ricotta and pistachios. For drinks my husband got the Italian guy and I had the limoncello blush. Lastly, they surprised me with desert and a sparkler candle. I was truly impressed. I want to also add that for the quality of the food and the luxurious atmosphere, the prices were great for the food and drinks. I cannot wait to return for Brunch.

My friend and I have the same birthday. She made reservations for us to have dinner at Limoncellos…read more I arrived first and was told the entire party had to be there in order to be seated. They did say I could have a seat at the bar while I wait but I opted to wait outside. When my friend arrived we were seated promptly. The restaurant itself is super cute and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. It's dimly lit with beautiful little touches throughout, including "ciao" displayed across the ceiling and a really nice sign in the foyer which makes for a great photo op. For the food we decided to share crispy Brussel sprouts and shrimp bruschetta as an appetizer. Then for my main entree I got Pappardelle Genovese which was pappardelle pasta, caramelized onion- braised beef ragú, Gorgonzola cream drizzle, Parmigiano Reggiano and then I got creme brûlée for dessert. For my drink I went with a Shirley temple. The food was super delish. I especially enjoyed the shrimp bruschetta and my pasta dish. They were not stingy with the meat at all. The server added sparklers to our dessert which was a nice touch and wished us a happy birthday. However, because we orders two desserts he informed us that he could only comp one of them as a bday dessert. We weren't expecting either to be comped so that was nice. I think the pricing was decent, two non alcoholic drinks, three appetizers, two entrees and a dessert for $130 (as of 2026). Something worth mentioning is that sending a dish back may not result in the food being comped. My friend had also ordered the polenta al funghi but didn't like the aftertaste. She told the server who said he would get the manager. The manager said the dishes are made to order and the owners don't want food being comped (I'm summarizing). Mind you no one said anything about taking it off the check. It wasn't a big deal but interesting that no resolution was offered . Like she could've suggested to replace with something else. She basically just said she's not taking it off the check and that's it. Didn't ruin the experience for me but worth mentioning in case you're the type to send things back to the kitchen. Overall, good experience and I would return.

My family and I were visiting Baltimore for a short vacation. This restaurant was a find on Yelp…read moreand it did not disappoint! My son and I shared the Captain's Catch seafood boil with the house blend seasoning... which included 3LBs of seafood (Dungeness Crab, Shrimp, and Mussels, and potatoes and corn) The portion was plentiful and the taste was AMAZING! You can also customize your own boil which is what my son's girlfriend did... also with the house blend seasoning... also AMAZING and FULL OF FLAVOR!! Leah our waitress was so helpful and walked us through the ordering process. Leah made our experience even more memorable !!! My family and I will definitely return to Baltimore Seafood when we visit the Baltimore again. The whole experience was fun for all. We recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great seafood boil

I got head off shrimp a half pound of crab, sausage, potatoes, and corn. it was a nice portion size for the price! Bri & Leah were amazing! Leah was our server and was very attentive to our needs. Afterwards, we realize we needed to try the butter cake so we got to go. Bri at the hostess stand, took our picture and was very kind to us on our way out! The next time I am in Baltimore, I would recommend this place for a good boil!

This place was such a delight. We came here with our kids and they just loved this experience…read more The restaurant has a gigantic bocce ball court that takes up much of the first level. We were seated at a table that overlooked the court and a digital screen that flashed beautiful photos of Italy's top tourist spots. My kids were thrilled when they saw Venice, since they just learned about it in school. After ordering food, I took the kids to the bocce court while my partner could enjoy the wine and watch us from above. I know he appreciated having the break and a good glass of wine to go with it. Service was friendly and the food was fantastic. We ordered several dishes including several types of pasta, meatballs, cheesy bread and a caesar salad. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and a great vibe overall. I already have a reservation when we pass through Baltimore again in a few weeks.

There was about 8 of us and we were seated downstairs in the bar area at a high top. Despite there being a reservation, it felt like our party was a last minute thought. The table was cramped and the ambiance of the downstairs bar area was dingy and dimly-lit. Our server, who was also the only bartender, did his best to multi task all night, although his demeanor was not very warm or friendly. I ordered the gluten free version of the Samantha fettuccine. Despite this being the only noodle they don't make in house, I had to pay extra for it. Annoying, but not totally unexpected. What was disappointing was the total price for the dish. It came out to be almost $50.... I believe the pasta is marked as market price due to the inclusion of crab meat but when it arrived, there was barely any in the dish. The flavor of the sauce was good but definitely not worth the price tag. I won't be returning anytime soon.

The bread and parmesan are complimentary and GOOD. The freshness and lightness of both are fantastic. I ordered the Lobster Ravoli and the cream sauce was the STAR of the dish! It was so flavorful. My boyfriend got the Lobster Diavolo which he enjoyed but it was just okay to me. We shared a medium rare Cowboy Ribeye steak--YUMM. It was full of favor. We enjoyed a bottle of wine at the table as well. No dessert. Service was good and attentive.

Alexa play Open, by Joy Rhodes…read more You all know I have to get the mood right to write my reviews. This review is special, all summer long it was "hot girl" summer. I was dating them all. I get why my therapist (aka bestie) said to do that. Even though I've been on so many dates this one was special. I knew he was the one just by being at Tagliata. He asked what my favorite cuisine was and then sent me the open table resy text. Cool points off that alone. It wasn't about him, it was all about me. Like it should, spoil me please. Upon arrival, he has a gift! I'm now seeing, he's different! I like him! And just like that, just in time for cuffing season, I choose Dr. Bae because an intelligent man is sexy as hell! And especially one that has intention. I told him, just treat me good, I'll treat you better and you'll have ANYTHING your heart desires! Not only is Dr. Bae Sexy so is the ambiance at Tagliata. Definitely date night worthy! Now let's get into it! Complimentary Bread - YUMMY! App: Meatball - Even though it was cold, it was good. Chicken Parmigiana - I loved it! Bolognese- He ordered this and I wish I would have! A man who orders dessert is a keeper! Bombloni - Delicious - Both of us didn't finish our food but we ate all of the dessert, it was the best part besides him of course. #grateful #GodknowsBetter #hubbymaterial

Had a reservation for Friday night. They had a live band playing which was nice but hard to hear a…read moreconversation over so we ended up sitting in the bar area. I tried the prosciutto con melon cocktail which had an odd smell and taste. No one at the table enjoyed it. The server attempted to "fix" it by adding more melon purée but it wasn't palatable. I then ordered a whisky sour which tasted as if it had come from a dive bar-not what I expected from a 15$ cocktail. No one at my table enjoyed their cocktails so I would say the bar program needs significant work especially if they're charging cocktail prices. We had the caprese salad and garlic bread as appetizers. The garlic bread was amazing! We shared linguine with clams and the corn risotto. The corn risotto didn't taste fresh at all and had a fishy smell from the scallops. The corn tasted canned which is a shame given it's corn season/end of summer. The linguine tasted only of salt-a missed opportunity to showcase capers, garlic, something! The service was quite leisurely -we had to flag down the server several times for basic needs. At the end of the meal our bill was incorrect with items that needed to be removed and then as they tried to fix it I was mistakenly given another table's bill AND the items that I was told were going to be taken off were still there. Not a great experience for a first time at the restaurant and slightly stressful for a Friday night out with friends when we just wanted to relax and blow off some steam. Sigh.

**atmosphere, service, presentation is amazing!…read more The atmosphere is so lovely, my friend and I sat outside and it was like we were in Europe! The servers are really kind--one noticed that my friend didn't like her drink and offered suggestions for a different one (which she ended up loving!). The colorful menus, decor, live music all add to the experience. Plating is gorgeous. We came for happy hour so we only had small bites. Unfortunately, I can't say that I loved my dish. I got the braised calamari and some calamari pieces were way too big and impossible to chew. I would've preferred smaller bites. My friend got the garlic bread and said it was ok, but nothing spectacular. I do want to return to try a main dish, though! Drinks are great: I got the spritz and it was so tasty. My friend got the berry Bellini on the second time and enjoyed. Overall, I would return, even if just for the service and vibes!
