    Too many customers seated in a very tight restrictive area. Diners were on top of each other which ruined the ambience. Waiter was quite stressed and when asked for a cappucino, he indicated that the wait would be longer because he was busy. You NEVER say this to a customer.

    We had a 4:30 reservation and was not seated until 5:15. No place to really wait inside. Other than that, service and food was very good.

    This is one of our go-to places when we are in Federal Hill. I made reservations for my daughter and I for dinner before a show at the PPAC. What a mess when we arrived. It was pouring out and the entrance was really hard to find. The hostess stand is not visible. There were about 4 hostesses and they were so unorganized. The place was jammed and they were seating people in the overflow seating across the street in the store. We waited about 20 minutes for our table and were seated in the store. The table cloth on the table had stains on it. The table couldn't have been more than 2' in diameter. It was tight and tiny. We didn't start off in a good place, but thankfully our servers and the food was amazing. We had two servers that were definitely overlapping and duplicating efforts, but they were attentive and gave me a free glass of wine when they had overlapped on that piece of things. Our dinners were delicious. We shared caesar salad and the bolognaise. The woman who had been closing up the dessert portion of the store overheard us commenting on the dessert case and gave us a couple free cookies. They were delicious. It was so thoughtful. We ended up having an amazing experience after a slow start.

    Poor experience all around. No menus, you need to download the QR code if you want to see the offerings, ( welcome back to covid days ). Eggplant Rollatini overcooked to the point where it was hard on the edges. We never were told what the specials were. I ordered the Veal Marsala, horrible flavor, sauce was rather sweet, veal was too tough to cut with my “butter” knife, never offered a real knife. We had to ask for salt and pepper. Service was rushed, and i do believe the heat was off upstairs, or turned down very low. This was at one time a staple of Federal Hill, but i must say, nothing was offered that makes me want to come back. Im sorry to say, this is one of my worst reviews posted. Best thing here, the Valet parking system !
