Love, love, love Dalesio's! We had Christmas dinner here last night which we have done for the last 4 years and it always hits the mark and beyond!!! They sat us immediately at our favorite table and the atmosphere is always cozy and so inviting. Our waiter was just so great as was the entire staff that helped to take care of us. The food was outstanding!! Looking forward to coming back next year!

My husband surprised me with a birthday trip to Baltimore, and our final dinner of the weekend was here—what a perfect ending! From the warm greeting at the door to the linen-covered table and excellent wine, everything was 5 stars. I ordered the Pollo Bolognese and it was truly heavenly—rich, authentic Italian flavors, served hot and fresh. The salad and bread were equally delicious. My husband had a veal dish and loved it as well. Our servers were attentive without being intrusive and offered great suggestions. And I have to mention the cleanliness—impeccable! After a nearby table left, the staff brought out a fresh cloth, sanitized every surface (even the candle and table pieces), and placed a new tablecloth. Impressive! I later spoke with the owner who told us they even replace the carpet every few years. We truly felt like welcomed guests in someone’s home. Highly recommend!

We were in town for business and decided to try out a restaurant in Little Italy. This was the first restaurant we saw and quickly got a table for 4 without a reservation. The dining room was so cute - love the art on the walls! Alex provided excellent service - he should teach a class. The food and drinks were delicious! Everyone in my party was satisfied. I had the lasagna, and it was truly one of the best I've ever had. My colleague and I shared a Caesar and kept telling each other how much we liked the dressing. The gnocchi melted in our mouths! The owners stopped by our table and chatted a bit - personable and professional. We had a great time and definitely will be back if ever in town.

This is a fantastic local treasure. The third oldest restaurant in the neighborhood, the tradition and dedication comes through in the flavors and services. I chose to enjoy the shrimp and crab over gluten free pasta for my first visit. An enjoyable Moscato rounded out my meal. Yas provided attentive service and the host, Paul, provided engaging conversation regarding his 40 years with the establishment. The restaurant’s front dining room intimately sports only 5 tables that accommodate parties of 4 or less. The conversations are but a respectful murmur invoking a cozy atmosphere. The low bar, not designed for lounging or sitting, provides libations to the diners. I highly recommend this hidden gem amongst the towering structures that have cropped up around it. I would re
