We ordered the Caesar salad along with a white pizza that was half classic white and half pepperoni, and everything was fantastic. The flavors were fresh, authentic, and perfectly done. The atmosphere made for such an easy, relaxing date night, and the service was great too. This is definitely going to become one of our new favorite local spots near the house!

I found out about this particular restaurant after a stall favorite at the Maryland State Fair…read more The store does not have front parking. Parking is on the side or the rear by way of the street closest to the side parking lot off of Reisterstown Rd. The staff was super friendly. There are some specials going on. I ordered a medium cheese pizza and garlic rolls. I tried the mushroom and spinach rolls and they were delish so I decided on the garlic rolls this time. While waiting for my order to be ready I sat at one of the tables they have. Its a small establishment, therefore, seating is limited. My order came up within a reasonable time and was as such from the State Fair. The draw back with the rolls is the large amount of grease. However, they are tasty and good with the sauce on the side. I will definitely return.

Eventually I made my way into what looked like a TOTALLY separate business . This I presume was the "cafe"?? Once there a woman claiming to be hostess also snapped at me and said she was "just out there!" really ? when ? the Devonian Period? I saw no one . The owners and her laughed at me and said "there is a sign on the front door that tells you to come to the cafe ha ha " I guess it's the customer's job now to find tiny signs and play guessing games with Nurse Ratchet . -like can I just give you my money and you give me food? It was dinner time and they had zero customers but still they acted like it was opening night at The fucking Ritz My 4 friends and I ate across the street at Tony Foreman's new spot (a place that gets customer service) and was packed and was phenomenal.

Dishes seem to be clearly explained on the menu. Most recent visit, I ordered the Stella Note pizza with the cheese bread as an appetizer. The table also gets bread. Heather was our server, and they were wonderful. After our entrees, they'll bring out a dessert sample platter so guests can see the dessert options before ordering. It's purely to look at and not taste. The restaurant has a whimsical atmosphere with dark, sultry lighting and fake vines and string lights draped across the walls and ceiling. From a distance I thought they might be dusty, but up-close they appeared surprisingly well-maintained and clean. I really appreciate that, as dirty/dusty props hanging over my meal are a major turn-off for me. The place overall, seemed very clean and tables set up neatly ready for customers to sit down. The main flag for me is the building itself. There are several uneven points in the flooring to trip over - even some ramps. The dim lighting can make things difficult to notice. Finding the restrooms was confusing even though there were small signs because it was dark. The route via the signs also seemed to lead through the drink area where cups are kept. I feel like that's not very common for restaurants to have you walk through so it made me question if I was going the right way. The ladies' restroom had small tight stalls. I didn't notice any accessible stalls or restrooms. To be fair, it is possible I missed them due to the low lighting. Overall, I would give the food and service 5 stars. The building itself is the reason i have to give an overall 4-star rating. I appreciate how strongly the restaurant remains loyal to its whimsical ambiance while still serving tasty dishes. Eating there reminds me of the cozy 90s sitcom settings for example from Friends or Sabrina the Teenage Witch. At the same time, we are now in 2026 and I think accessibility and ease of navigation are important considerations for customers. The restaurant serves well for me personally, but it may not be as comfortable or accessible for every guest that dines-in.

Chef Paolino Cafe is a classic Catonsville MD restaurant, a casual Italian place that feels like…read moreyou've eaten there all your life. It offers a menu of comfort foods, a display of ready-to-heat pizza slices and pockets, several weekly specials, and always a couple of fancier daily specials posted in the entryway. We shared their Greek salad, which looks small but is a full bowl of fresh crunchy greens, with ripe cherry tomatoes, sharp red onions, lightly salty black olives, a vinegary pepperoncini pepper, and a generous scoop of tangy feta. Their meatballs appetizer is four mid-size tender juicy balls in a rich red sauce. Their fettuccini bolognese was generous and savory, with enough to take some home. We love to come here for a tasty generous meal, just off Main Street at Ingleside. It's nice to say or wave a hello to Chef Paolino who is usually somewhere behind the counter. They have a nice selection of wine in their small takeout area, and a full bar, too. And we always keep in mind the small-town request on the door and avoid wearing cleats into the restaurant :-)

If you take a look at the website for this place, it gives the vibes that it's a very traditional,…read more"old world family recipe" type of place. You know, the kind of place where everything is fresh made and has that special taste that is indescribable but you crave it again a day later. That's the feel that "Chef" Paolino's website gives... In reality, it's actually nothing more than just a subs and pizza shop. Let's press on, gentle reader. I ordered four items over the phone to be picked up by me. The fellow on the phone was very pleasant and I told him so when I picked up the order. The order was a cheese steak sub with fries, a veal parmigiana sub with extra heavy sauce and extra heavy cheese, a baked Ziti dinner, and an order of onion rings. The baked ziti dish was just OK, if not a bit bland. It lacked seasoning and basically any flavor. It wasn't horrible, but I mean you have to be a real imbecile to fuck up pasta, sauce, and cheese. It was edible, but definitely below the quality of a frozen entree from Stouffer's or Michelina's though, ironically they are much better. The best part of the Ziti entree is that they give you a big portion, enough for two people-- but, as my dad used to say, "Son, two of shit it still shit". The cheese steak was shockingly bad. It was full of tough ligaments, and to be critical, I think even Arby's puts more and better meat in their Cheesesteak. It was pretty lame looking. Mr. X said it was practically inedible. On top of that, cheese was really nowhere to be found inside with the meat, and yes, we ordered the deluxe version. I am obsessed with veal parm subs. I'm always on a hunt for a better one. I always ask for extra sauce and very, very heavy cheese. I always tell them "pretend like you're making a cheese sub-- then add some veal and sauce". My direction went unheard. See pic. Not only was this perhaps the worst veal parm sub I have ever had, but there was no sign of heavy cheese and not really much sauce at all. In fact, there was nearly none of each. It was so bad I had to take a picture. Much of both ends of the sub didn't even have meat! And why do they just melt a big round piece of cheese right on top of the entire sub? Most of the cheese is on the bread!! Note to "Chef"-- cheese goes INSIDE the sub, not on top of it. The worst part of the entire event however was the fries and onion rings, which were laughable. Does "Chef" Paolino's grandmothers "Old World recipes" include frozen crinkle cut french fries shaken out of a Sysco bag and onion rings that are worse than Burger Kings? I make no exaggeration here. These were perhaps the most ridiculous fries and onion rings I ever had. There was literally almost NO onion in them!!! These have got to be the cheapest products they can buy. No matter what the website says about their "Old World Family Recipes", it's bullshittery. There ain't NOTHING special about this place. It's a PIZZA AND SUBS shop that makes some meh dinner options for folks with lower expectations. By the way, this bag of shit cost almost $60.00. Not a typo. Kids would probably like the pizza, and maybe some dogs if they aren't too finicky of eaters would too. I'm going to give 1 star-- for the guy answering the phone.
