I treated my spouse to lunch and his first time eating there we arrived right at opening, as usual Chiapparelli's food, especially their salad did not disappoint, I had told many tells of their spectacular salad and bread and since we were in Baltimore I pounced on the chance to prove to him I wasn't full of it 😁- hubby loved it as well as the subs we had. I was full after eating the salad and had to get a doggy bag for us. The food is authentic Italian and it is worth every penny spent. The waiter and waitress were very attentive. Can't beat the atmosphere as you feel as though you have entered an actual restaurant in Italy. The young man working the counter and responsible for seating you could possibly be a bit friendlier but everyone else helps even it out making it a nice dining experience overall.
Such a wonderful Resturant we had dinner here 2 times on our visit to Baltimore. So many good dishes to choose from. House salad is amazing and the pesto pasta with shrimp was very good. Can’t go wrong with any dish. Enjoy.
To write this without crying feels impossible. My dad loved Chiapparelli’s. He passed last year, and with him I lost my best friend. Today, I celebrated my 37th birthday here, and somehow I felt five years old all over again eating fresh bread and salad, and trying so hard to pick up a Sicilian accent. Ms. Helen was one of my earliest memories of seeing a woman be bold and beautiful .. a red lip, unforgettable perfume, and so much presence. Today, I got to hug her as an adult and tell her just how much her love and kindness meant to me as a child. To the entire Chiapparelli team the staff and the family thank you. Thank you for creating a legacy so beautiful that a 37-year-old version of me could walk through the door and feel five again. Tonight healed a part of my heart that has ached since my dad passed. I can’t wait to return with my children and give them the same memories you’ve given me. Thank you. 🤍
Looking for places in Baltimore's Little Italy this restaurant kept coming up. A short walk from the inner harbor, this little Italian restaurant did not disappoint. Decor rustic and modern at the same time. Service was prompt and friendly, and the restaurant staff had a family-like feel with each other. I had the sausage and peppers appetizer which was a very good portion and could almost have been an entree. Next I had chicken lemon marsala, and because, Baltimore, with lump crab meat and mozzarella melted on top. Pasta side was perfectly al dente. The best part? All of that, with a glass of red wine and dessert was $69. One of the better meals I had during my Baltimore trip and certainly at the best price. There are 4-5 choices to dine in little Italy within a block or so, but definitely consider this gem.
Was seated in the far back corner near the side entrance, at the edge of the bar so didn't get to see the gleaming lights of the main dining room until the end. Tried the arancini and Tour of Chiapparelli. The lasagna was a bit salty for my taste but overall, it was good.. Friendly service. Large portion , and boy they really kept the bread basket coming if you let them. 😊
