    Half eaten kids gelato
    Becca S.

    They did it again. This pizza is unbelievable. There's just no other place like it with the perfect chew to the dough, light enough that I don't feel gross eating the entire pizza, and toppings that all go together unexpectedly. There's ragu pizza blew my mind tonight. This is not typical Pizza Hut/american style pizza. This is true Italian with the VPN certification. It 100% lives up to the honor of that certification. I also had the mozzarella balls tonight and they were so good my son secretly ordered a second order of them! He chanted the whole dinner that this is the best pizza and we should come here all the time, not just sometimes.

    Sausage & Sausage and Onion Chorizo Arugula with Parmesan
    Reane S.

    Great Happy Hour deal ! We got to try the Pizza flight which is choice of three small pizzas. We got 2 orders of those . Our favorites were the Chorizo & Sausage with Onions. Both delicious and obviously the ingredients were fresh and full of flavor. The rest of our pizzas were good but nothing outstanding. All the pizzas came out looking great but we were a bit disappointed with the crust. It just didn't quite meet our expectations of a classic Neapolitan . Maybe on a regular sized pizza...‍ Seevice was efficient & attentive and everyone was nice & friendly The dining area was comfy and bright and gives off an atmosphere of pleasant and relaxed dining experience. We might go back for the Arancinis and maybe try their Capricciosa pizza ..maybe

    Our second time. The first time dough was mushy. Rather than this is Good. So wanted to give second chance. And we Said about dough and we aşk for more crispy dough. Yes it was definitely better. Appetizers was pretty good. Ice cream was veeery good. I am glad we came back!!!

    Margherita Pizza
    Peninna A.

    I visited Pupatella because The Baltimore Banner reported it was one of the only restaurants in Maryland with a seal of approval from the Associazione Verace Pizza napoletana (The True Neapolitan Pizza Association). After two orders, I feel torn. My first time, I ordered a plain margherita pizza. The second time (about two weeks later): a margherita with fresh mozzerella, ricotta, and sausage. Both orders were pickup orders; The food was ready promptly with minimal [though polite] interaction from staff. As for the food itself, the cheese tasted like water--No flavor. My first time, although I was underwhelmed by the cheese, the quality of the dough was enough for me to go back again. I doubled the cheese on my second order, and still found it flavorless. Even worse: I found the dough had an extremely sour and unpleasant flavor. Still, the restaurant is well loved, so I am willing to try Pupatella again (perhaps something other than pizza). Regarding decor: the restaurant gets lots of natural light and has the feel of a sit down family restaurant.

    Caivano 11 in
    Whitney L.

    Decided to swing by Pupatella for a late lunch with my boyfriend yesterday. They have a nice lunch special that goes on between 11 AM - 3 pm where you can get a side salad and 9 inch pizza for around $12. I ended up getting the sausage and onions (it was average). My boyfriend got the caivano (which I recommend for meat lovers). Service was really good, our waitress was Rachel and she was very sweet and attentive. The restaurant was really empty though. There was maybe one other table in the dining area beside my boyfriend and I so it was a bit awkward. The music also stopped working for some odd reason. Otherwise, it's not a bad place to swing by for some good pizza.

    Buffala Bianca
    Donna Y.

    I ordered a pizza on line for pickup. I chose the Buffala Bianca which includes an italian cream sauce, buffalo mozzarella, basil, and prosciutto di Parma. There's plenty of parking and there seemed to be a full house on a Friday night. The Buffala Bianca was not very pretty but very tasty and the prosciutto nice and salty. Definitely a must get!

    Arancini
    Ann R.

    Fiancé and I are always looking for a good pizza place and this is it!! Starting off the dough is perfection (at least for me). It's soft and chewy, had great burnt parts from the stove oven, and held up to the weight of the toppings. He, being a meat lover, for the caviano. It was yummy! Meat was greasy and flavorful and packed on the pizza. I had the mushroom and added some bacon. The mushrooms themselves weren't the highest quality - it felt just like button mushroom. I feel like it would've been better with porcini mushrooms, but the combination of brie and bacon was perfect. A little bit of funk, creaminess, and salt. I would say skip the arancini, they were a bit underwhelming. The place was pretty quiet when we came on a Saturday at 8pm. I didn't mind it as I like quiet. All the waitresses/waiters seem to be young students and they were all pleasant and getting the job done.

    Bruschetta
    Jay G.

    My Wife and I went here because we saw it reviewed on reels. It looked really good. We sat outside since it was a nice evening and that was great. Our waitress seemed like she really didn't want to be at work anymore. Maybe she was tired but just wasn't warm and fuzzy. We ordered the bruschetta which looked great when it came out but lacked flavor. The presentation was nice but the tomatoes had no taste. Definitely needed some seasoning. They tasted fresh but bland. We built our own Nepotalitan pizza with regular sauce, fresh mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni and red onions. We wanted to add Spinach but they only allow 4 toppings (cheese counts as a topping) because the crust is so thin. When the pizza came out it looked great. 4 pretty good sized slices. The beef pepperoni was cooked well, the sausage and mozzarella had a good flavor. I liked the crust my Wife didn't too much but the biggest issue is the middle of the pizza dough didn't cook all the way through and it was still raw. Because we both started eating it from the crust inward (you couldn't really NY pizza slice this thing) we didn't find out until you got to the end. This happened to us both on our second slice. There were some bright spots but overall a lackluster experience for us. We had high hopes that we found another pizza spot, but alas that is not the case Try it for yourself you may like it, just not our cup of tea.

    Veggie panini
    Annie L.

    We stopped in for a casual Friday date night--it was popping! Service was perfectly fine but not at that above and beyond level. Given the dinner rush, we had a bit of uneven timing with my veggie panini arriving 20min before my husband's pizza. As craft beer nerds, the beer selection was pretty lackluster. Let's be honest though, you're coming here for the food not the beer. The beverage menu include a solid variety for every diner. The veggie panini was fresh, flavorful and filling. The bread has just the right chew to crunch ratio and isn't so thick so as to overpower the filling. The smoked mozzarella elevates each veggie filled bite, adding complexity without dominating. The BYO pizza got top marks despite arriving with only one of the two requested cheeses. Having only recently opened, there are a few kinks to work out, but overall a great addition to the neighborhood and will definitely be back!

    I loved the burrata here but my kids didn't love the pizza. We ordered takeout so next time we would like to try sitting in and seeing if we have a better experience. It is very cute decor inside and the service was fast and easy. There is ample parking and it is kid friendly. We can't wait to come back and try some of the pasta dishes too!

    Nutella Pizza
    Steve E.

    Randomy googled this place and went to check it out on a Fri. Night... They were busy but I was able to get a table in no time. Service was great. Appetizers Sampler was ...eh...will skip next time Pizza was good...its a good pizza..def in the TOP5 in the HOCo area. Drinks were good Will come back.

    7.2.25
    Carroll N.

    4.1.25 The softest crust and lightest pizza I've ever had. The pizzas are 11". I purchased the onion tart which came with caramelized onions and bacon. My hubby ordered the pepperoni. We both liked our pizzas. However mine had a little too much onion. I ended up scraping some off. Whoever in the kitchen cut our pizzas didn't do a good job. We had to recut it and I am a terrible cutter. I also ordered the Panna cotta for dessert which had Nutella and sprinkles in it. It was my first time having Panna cotta in the states, and the custard itself is different than what I am used to having at an ice cream shop. When I mixed the Nutella with the custard, it was fine. Not sure that I am a fan of the texture, but at least I can say I tried it. Apparently between 3 and 6 PM they have social hour pizzas. We saved $10 on our total tab for discounts off the pizzas. We enjoyed the friendly service and the pizza was good, but not our favorite. One thing we found odd was that the entrance to the restaurant was on the opposite side from where the signage is. There was a sign on the door that said go to the other side. That didn't make very much sense to me if they want patrons to enter through the other side that is where the signage to the restaurant should be.

Arrived and there did not seem to be an organized approach. Ended up waiting a total of 1:10min for 1 crab pizza, 1 calamari. The calamari appeared to be promising however, it was rubbery and the amount of marinara was very short (order extra). 2.5-3.0 on the calamari. Maybe being served hot off the press makes a difference. (Unsure of if tickets were coming up in rhythm). Crab pizza was tasty and could stand to have another whole crab on it. For the amount of crab, I would say it was a VERY expensive small pizza. 3.0 It was a Saturday late afternoon and it was busy for sure. I would give this place another try but perhaps get the timing down to being able to snag the limited seating. Have a snack and pack your patience. Not a total bomb but, management needs figure out how to expedite the kitchen making it more efficient. Too expensive for mediocre.

We made a last-minute decision to try for some of the nightly jazz (except Monday) at 18th & 21st on a Friday evening (Oct 2025), hip-ly named for the prohibition amendment and repeal :-) There's a free parking garage right across from the entrance of the building they share with a sister restaurant, Cured. We arrived in the bright seasonally-decorated welcoming lobby about 7:50pm. We ought to have made reservations, but in under 10min, the reception staff took us to the more intimate room towards the back where we were seated at at the bar, which is really what we wanted. When we arrived, the 6pm jazz band had just gone on break, so we felt free to chat with friendly regulars and with the bar staff. They have a changing list of ten craft beers from $6 to $21, plus one $6 non-alcoholic brew. Five of the $14-$35 per-glass vintage wines from their list of 17 are preserved with the "corovin" system that keeps air out, so they are never "corked". We focussed on their list of 11 crafted $13-$22 cocktails plus 5 non-alcoholic ones, all made with quality ingredients, each naming the staff member(s) (and guests) who formulated the recipe! We found Alex's $16 Fernetinez sublimely sweet: of bitter fernet amaro, Frederick-based locally-sourced award-winning McClintock One Last Time gin (exclusive for 18th&21st), smooth Luxardo liqueur, and a sweet vermouth. We loved the aroma and flavor of the classic Smoked Old Fashioned of bourbon from Kentucky's 10th-oldest distillery, Green River, moved to a mild well-rounded sweetness by brown sugar simple syrup, smoked in front of me by Mike (if i remember), with added richness from smoky bitters. They have a creative menu of $30 to $65 entrees, plus salads, small plates, apps, and sides, and they have a changing menu of small plates. We really hadn't planned on eating, but we couldn't resist. The $17 duck bao buns had thin tender filets with a sweet lightly-salty apricot-soy glaze and a tangy crunchy pickled cucumber slaw on a soft folded yeasted slightly-sweet white-flour bun. The $12 pair of fried fresh-tasting oysters were sweet and juicy with a light-flavored crunchy crust. They were so yummy, and easy to enjoy with our cocktails. Rodney Kelly's jazz band was excellent, playing with spirit, joking with each other and the audience, even staging a song or two with a skilled member of the restaurant staff. Afterwards we had brief moments with some of the band members, like an intimate jazz club. Later in the evening, i also had a Turkish Sunset, a Manhattan-variation created in a collaboration among the staff and a guest (Well-done Ozzie!). I love Elijah Craig, and wanted to try their dry toasted rye, with housemade allspice dram syrup, Small Hands grenadine, and bitters. By now, i felt very much at home with the staff, and when i learned that one of them had helped formulate this beverage, i confided that its amazing complexity was, for me, just a touch too dry. Alex (if i remember) considered the ingredients and the target flavors, and added just a touch of a sweet lemony liqueur, perfectly complimenting the recipe's flavors! Real-time crafting goes above and beyond, Thank you! (And when they next update the menu, maybe they'll have a custom option named for me :-)

For our entrées, we had the Ravioli Chesapeake and the Baked Ravioli, and both were excellent. The highlight of our visit, however, was the prompt and well-paced service. Our server, JoJo, was pleasantly attentive without ever being intrusive--a real gem! We would certainly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

    Good Italian food, nice service, nice live music…read more Friends had told us of the musician playing at Tino's Italian Bistro on a Wednesday in Dec 2025, and we've enjoyed Tino's food before, so we headed over. It's a pretty big place with a bar and booths on the left, and another area of booths on the right. We were greeted and seated quickly by the hosts, and as we asked, we landed near the performer in the area to the right. The place was busy around 6pm, and friendly server quickly got menus for us, and within a few minutes, we had our drinks: a lovely $13 Maple Walnut Old Fashioned, fiery intense Makers Mark sweetened a little by maple syrup and focussed with walnut bitters. And a bright $13 Pom Pom Fizz, earthy gin with pomegranate juice, prosecco, and i think some lime juice. Both were well crafted , balanced, and refreshing. They started us with a sliced long narrow loaf of hot filone bread, with one of our Italian favorites, warm pinzimonio dipping oil: fresh aromatic olive oil with a pinch of mixed rich parmesan crumbles, zingy red-pepper flakes, and savory green herbs. It is tempting to make our whole meal of this! We had the $19 salmon & spinach in oil & garlic, from Tino's "lighter fare" menu. This was a huge filet, tender inside with a lovely deep crosshatch char on the surface. Quite perfect! And we asked for a customized $14 sandwich: Tino's offers a steak & cheese on chewy crusty hoagie roll, and we asked for added sautéed green peppers, with the generous cheese, sliced red onion and tomato, and lettuce on the side. The generous thin-sliced beef was tender and sweet cooked just right. The tasty lightly-seasoned fries were piping hot, and soft inside. We were perfectly satisfied with our light meal, and we managed to take a good amount home for later. The skilled musician, Bruce Casteel, played 5 to 7pm, a warm selection of familiar acoustic jazz, easy and fun to listen to. We'll return both for this musician and for the wide menu of flavorful food. You drive into the strip mall on Centre Park Dr just north of Old Annapolis Rd (MD-108), then turn left like you are going to the convenience store and keep driving around to the ample parking lot for Tino's. You can also easily get here off MD-100 at Executive Park Dr, winding via the non-highwqy Columbia 100 Parkway to Centre Park Dr.

Dined here with a group of friends and the food was mouthwatering, luscious, rich, fulfilling, and absolutely a hit. The rich, creamy dish I ordered, the paneer lababdar, was a huge portion with cubes of paneer and a savory, spicy tomato-cashew sauce, topped with grated paneer and cream. It was spectacular with an order of fresh, garlicky naan. The spicy mango margarita cocktail was also amazing! The service was very good. The ambiance was nice, with an upscale feel. The vibe was on par with what I'd expect from this kind of restaurant. Definitely recommended and definitely will return!

Service was good. We only had small plates - Edamame Masala Croquetted (VG) and Eggplant & Potato Chaat (VG, GF). Both were very tasty, but the Edamame had a little bit of kick to it due to the masala's they used. We didn't end up ordering any entrees because the small plates were a good portion for 2 people. The menu itself looks very delicious with a mix of Indian and Fusion. Lots of vegetarian options and they're willing to customize many items. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd def come back for another visit.

    We were really looking forward to this dinner, especially since it was a chance to catch up with…read morefriends we only see every few months. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short. The biggest issue across the board was the food--everything tasted bland. There was a noticeable lack of seasoning, and most dishes ended up tasting the same. I started with a Caesar salad, which was unusual with added tomatoes and other vegetables you don't typically see. While it was fine, it lacked flavor. For the main course, all four of us ordered pasta, and again, the same issue--very little taste. No one offered fresh Parmesan, which is something you'd normally expect with a pasta dish. Halfway through my meal, trying to improve the flavor, I asked for some Parmesan. I was genuinely surprised when the server told me it would cost an extra $1. It wasn't about the dollar--it was the principle. Charging extra for something as basic as Parmesan with pasta felt unreasonable. When we raised the concern, the manager confirmed this policy came directly from the owner. My advice: just include it in the price of the dish. Policies like that leave a bad impression and cost you repeat customers. Between the bland food and that moment, the experience turned from disappointing to frustrating. Sadly, this isn't a place we'll be returning to--and it's one we'll be warning others about.

He rushed us to order, made us uncomfortable when we were deciding what to order, and asked us if we wanted the house made bread. I knew the bread was $5 but he made no mention of it. If I was coming to eat there and was asked if I wanted bread and didn't know there was a charge, I would be upset. It was kind of deceiving, and when the bill came out, shoved the handheld device to pay in my face and I couldn't go over the bill. He told me to put my phone here when paying and that was that. The bill was incorrect and I had to get a manager to fix it (the manger was very friendly and took care of everything). I also have an issue when a server asks us how the food is, right when the food gets put down on the table. We hadn't even had a chance to take a bite. Now, why I gave this place a five star. Like I said before, the ambiance was amazing, if we had a different server, I'm sure it would had been great! The food: it' was top notch. Some of the best food in Maryland. I wouldn't had changed anything with the food. Everything was seasoned perfectly, had the right textures, and tasted so good! Would I go back? Absolutely!

I sat at the bar and received service from Phillipe-I hope I spelled it right. The service was amazing and so was the food. They have a ton of wine to choose from and they have wine inside of the glass around the restaurant. The brick over is in the center of the restaurant and you can watch your pizza being crafter from beginning to end if you like. I ordered the Seafood Maribella which came with Shrimp,scallops and crab meat. I'm not too big on scallops so I asked the bartender if I could substitute the scallops with more shrimp--but if they couldn't it was still ok. He sent in my order and my order came out the opposite. I received what I believed to be double scallops and no shrimp. The manager happened to be passing by and checked on me while passing. I explained to him that the order came out opposite from what I requested--with no hesitation he immediately said --no problem ma'am, I'll put in a side of shrimp for you.... I was so thankful for his generosity and quick problem solving. The shrimp didn't take long at all to arrive. And they arrived so hot and tasty. I really enjoyed this place, the ambiance is EVERYTHING!!!! The service is EVERYTHING!!!! And the food and drinks were immaculate... Last but not least I can't forget the restroom. When I tell you this place has the best restroom I've ever been in at an establishment --I mean it. This place is top notch and I definitely will return. I didn't try any pizza on during my visit but I will on my next visit. This place is a 5 start restaurant all day long....

Loved the decor and ambience ... from the fireplace, to the pizza oven in the middle of the restaurant, to the bar area with the televisions. Parking was also easy even on a Saturday. My daughter and I split a Romana salad; it's kind of like a Caesar salad. Good but had to ask for more dressing. I ordered the spaghetti Amatriciana, daughter got the chicken Limone, husband got Ravioli D'Aragosta. My spaghetti wasn't spicy at all (as was assumed since it had spicy Calabrian chilis), the burrata ball was huge and at first I didn't get it because it was cold while the rest of the dish was warm. Well when you mix it in the dish it was very good. I added some salt but after that it all came together. The other two dishes were also enjoyed at the table. Portions were generous, we had leftovers and the service was pretty good too. Would definitely come back!

They were definitely very busy but our server was still attentive and friendly. My friend ordered a flight of wine and I ordered a glass of the Poggio Le Volpe, 'Roma Rosso'. The wine, as always was delicious. My friend ordered the IBWC Fall Burger and I ordered the Grilled Bistro Steak Frites. The Steak was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. We had also ordered side Caesar salads. It was restaurant week and neither of us opted into the the 3 courses for a price option but our server did kindly inform us that she grouped it that way to help us save and include the dessert. We ended up getting the Nutella dessert (I don't recall what it was called). While the presentation wasn't great, it was very good and I would recommend it. Wish I liced closer so I could come here more often but it is one of my favorites in the area.

Caesar salad honestly Tasted like a salad you would get from a salad bar- 1/5. I expected the dressing to be an authentic Caesar dressing but it was watery and thin. Ribeye used to be less tough. It was okay. The sauce and potatoes were good though! Wine excellent as per usual. This place used to be amazing all around but honestly, tonight was just slightly above average esp for the price point. Maybe we'll try a weekend and the food might better?
