    Sotto Sopra is, without question, my favorite restaurant in Baltimore — Italian or otherwise. Ricardo, Monika, and their entire staff could not be more gracious, welcoming, or attentive. In my opinion, it is not only the most beautiful restaurant in the city, but also the most romantic. The food and service are consistently exceptional, always deserving of five stars. The fact that they have survived — and thrived — for 30 years tells me everything I need to know.

    This was my first time at Tagliata for lunch and it did not disappoint. I had the Sicilian salad and calamari which were both amazing. Great service, beautiful patio setting.

    Excellent experience! Will surely be back! Food was fabulous and vibe was very lively (a tad noisy, but not overly so). Certainly not a value restaurant, but this was a very special occasion and Marta was certainly worthy of it. Everything was terrific! Our server Anthony provided everything we could want and offered very good selections from the menu--and had an outstanding attitude as well!
