Reviews of Dalesio's Of Little Italy

Fredy Ramirez

This place has a great atmosphere! Very elegant and fancy. The staff was incredible, being very attentive, but not in anyone's way. My glass of water never got below half. We had the lasagna and it was amazing! I took my partner on a date here and we both enjoyed it a lot. The lava cake for dessert really melted in your mouth and tasted great! It is our favorite dessert so far! I definitely recommend checking this place out!

James Bigler-Damian

Found out about Baltimore's little Italy from a friend. There are a few restaurants here and they all looked and smelled good. We picked this one and walked in reading a sign that said no kids menu, no children under 5. Thought that was interesting and we've never seen that before. We were greeted by a friendly individual who asked how many and sat us. We then had a friendly waiter who provided just the right amount of information. The calamari was good, not fried enough for me personally but had great flavor either way. The garlic bread was very good. The chicken parm was good but didn't taste much different than the one I can make at home. The pasta and sauce was very delicious!

Amanda Wiedmyer

10/10 experience hands down. Whether you’re a visitor (from NJ like me) or a Baltimore native, you will not be let down. Food was amazing! Our server, David was so attentive and personable! Service was quick and the atmosphere felt authentic. Definitely will be coming back.

Aletena Sahlu

The food was absolutely 11/10. This is my new favorite place in little Italy. Every dish was made with REAL ingredients, and was hand crafted. The service was friendly, quick, and overall exemplary— I felt like I was visiting someone’s house as a guest! DO NOT miss out on this place!

sam reeves

Words can't express how good the food was here. We got calamari for the appetizer which came the best marinara sauce ever. My boyfriend got some vegetable pasta. Said that was the best meat sauce he has ever had. I got the special for the night which was red snapper. That was the first time having that fish and it was delicious. I forget the waitors name but he was so nice. Perfect date night out. Would definitely recommend this place if you are ever in the area. Will be coming here again!!

Barbara McG

Update: went back last night… tried different salad which was fresh and delicious. We each tried different entrees than before, both very good. Once again Alex provided attentive and professional service! A table of 10 were celebrating near us, but because of the great acoustics we were able to converse with no problem. ❤️Dalesio’s Our new “go to”. Our family of 4 went for Father’s Day celebration. We had reservations and were seated promptly. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our water glasses were always full and we never wanted for anything thanks to Alex. Everyone enjoyed the garlic bread. My daughter and I shared the tomato & fresh mozzarella salad which sounds simple, but was absolutely delicious with fresh basil, really good olive oil and perfectly seasoned. Four different entrees and 3 desserts all very good. The acoustics are great thanks to carpet and lowered ceilings so conversation was unimpeded. As a senior, I find many restaurants are very noisy and that is off putting to our family so the quiet factor was appreciated. We will definitely return. My husband and I eat out 2-3 times per week and very happy to have discovered Dalesio’s.

Elyza Craft

My boyfriend and I came here for our first dinner in little Italy and we couldn’t have picked a better place to try out. First off, the staff members were extremely welcoming and made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. The restaurant is beautiful and has very warm and inviting atmosphere. Our waiter, Alex, was fantastic as well. He was really attentive and gave amazing recommendations. He seemed to truly care about providing a great experience. We loved all of the dishes we ordered and were already picking out what we will be trying next time we come! It was a wonderful experience start to finish, and we are just disappointed we hadn’t tried it sooner. If you’re looking for amazing food and a wonderful atmosphere, this is definitely a great choice. And don’t skip dessert!

Johnny

The business dinner that I hosted last night at Dalesio’s was easily one of the BEST dining experiences that I’ve ever had, and I’d say a lot had to do with the gentleman that waited on our group and provided world-class service throughout the entire evening. From the time that we walked in the door, until the time that we left, everything was just top-notch across the board, the service, the food was INCREDIBLE, and the environment was absolutely perfect. I cannot thank the Dalesio’s team enough for being so accommodating, you made an already special night even better for us, and I’m beyond thankful for coming across your establishment when trying to coordinate such a bigger dinner!

Lou Myers

Super first meal for our Baltimore visit. Very accommodating owner who gave us a 6 PM reservation on a 5 PM call after checking into our hotel. Convenient location just blocks from our location. The service by Alex was fantastic. Food was excellent, especially my veal Bolognese pasta. The owner's wife Sharon, upon hearing our phone area code in PA, talked to us about her former home in nearby PA. Just a wonderful first evening in Baltimore.

Savannah Stevens

This place was great! We were celebrating on a work trip and my coworkers and I enjoyed this restaurant a lot! It was a little slow but the food was delicious, the service team was very attentive, and the atmosphere was very cozy. We will definitely be dining here again!

Angela Seidel

Dalesio's has a beautiful location with easy parking, and did a fantastic job with our department holiday party. Their upstairs space was the perfect size for our group, and is tastefully decorated. The food was delicious and the drinks and service all excellent.

Chris J

100% one of the best restaurants in Baltimore, if not beyond. I proposed to my fiancée over the weekend and Paul managed to set me up near last minute with a reservation for Saturday night before the start of this weekend which was a miracle. He was more than accommodating and helped us tie together one of the most important days of our lives together. Without a doubt I’ll come back again and I will highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Paul, and our server Alex made it an experience worth remembering! Thank you!

Roberto Morales

Great food in a great restaurant. We've been here twice and each time the food has been fantastic! Fresh seafood in their pasta entrees will bring me back on my next trip.

Lauren Donahoe

Very friendly staff and great pasta choices

Mike Bartley

Had an outstanding experience and Italian meal here. Wow! David, our server, and the team were amazing! We felt like royalty. Unbelievable food and service. If your are in Little Italy in Baltimore, Dalesio’s is a must do!

Jami Bishari

Alejandro was a whole dining experience in himself and he gave us the best recommendations. The frutti di mare and veal franchise were perfect. We came back two nights in a row!

Tyna Sloate

My boyfriend and I drove down from NYC to VA last night and because of the awful weather - decided to pull over and stay in Baltimore/Inner Harbor. We found this place by accident and it was AMAZING - the food, service, ambience, staff. Will def come back and would make a special detour off 1-95 to go.

Joe Doza

tl;dr - superior quality Italian that won't break the bank. Visiting here I heard Baltimore has a Little Italy and knew I had to try a place. My girlfriend decided on this place and at first I was a bit skeptical mostly because there was no other patrons when we arrived shortly after opening (perhaps not many people have time). However I was proven wrong and I was so glad about that. The interior has a antique charm to it and is well maintained. Although the area ate in was cozy there was another area and possibly an upstairs area. Our server had a little trouble understanding us but he was very attentive and welcoming providing excellent service. We ordered an appetizer of lobster raviolis and shared gnocchi in marinara and chicken parmesan. The cream sauce the raviolis sat in was buttery, light and just perfect. The raviolis were nothing short of perfection as well. I could tell they were made from scratch based on the texture and consistency of the pasta. It comes with three pieces priced at $13 but was well worth it. Definitely the best lobster raviolis I've eaten outside Boston. Possibly just as perfect as the raviolis was the gnocchi and the marinara sauce, both of which are made in-house. I could eat that sauce alone being so flavorful, light, not too sweet, and being a beautiful bright red color. A full serving costs $13 but seems like a steal to me. The chicken parmesan was very good priced at $13. The breading was excellent and the chicken was juicy. It was served with the same marinara sauce and pasta. Had I only order this I would still be very impressed with the restaurant. As we left the owner, I presume, dressed in a plain white t-shirt and jeans personally asked us if we enjoyed the meal to which I profusely thanked him. Overall, if you want quality Italian please make a stop to Dalesio's. I will be coming back.

We were craving good Italian food and saw that Dalesio's was well reviewed. We ordered the garlic bread, which was everything you would want for buttery goodness. We asked our waiter to help choose between dishes, and he recommended the penne alla vodka e cream and fruitti di marre alla Mediterranea. The linguine sauce was creamy and scallop flavored, albeit a bit heavy. The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly and not overcooked. The penne was more tomato flavor than feeling dense. The only critique would be about the dessert tray that was brought to our table. I'm sure it was meant so you can see the options, similar to the artificial food displays in Japan, but the desserts were clearly old and did not appear appetizing. The tray turned us off from wanting dessert.

Mike Longenbaker

High quality authentic Italian with reasonable prices and great wait staff. And they are open in mid-afternoon! Dave, our waiter does a great job. Be sure to order the garlic cheesy bread to start.

Ricardo A.

Amazing place. Went one day and tried their spaghetti and meatballs. Was so good I had to try their lasagna the next day. Very, very good and very nice portions. Waiter and manager/owner(?) provided amazing service. 100% recommended. Definitely will visit again next time I visit Baltimore. Please visit as good service/food quality combination is difficult to find.

James Protin

We hosted a graduation dinner here and it could not have been a better experience. The food was great, the service was superb, and the atmosphere was awesome. Highly recommend Dalesio’s for everything from a romantic dinner for two to a large party. Many thanks to Paul and the entire staff!

Luis Lopez

Went there with a coworker, we had the garlic bread that was delicious. I order the pollo marsala but in my opinion it was too plain, needed a hint of spicy of peppers. Had a Californian red wine that was also delicious. I would return but would order a different entry. They have a small section upstairs to side outside which is nice.

Elinor Brown

Marvelous doesn't adequately describe the entire experience and that doesn't cover how delicious the food tasted. From the hot delicious crunch of the crust to the buttery goodness of the perfectly seasoned center. Add in the savory richness of lobster stuffed ravioli in the perfect sauce. Yes, the meal was typed off with a canoli to end an exquisite meal served by the most polite and personable professionals, David. Wonderful experience and memory, we were invited to retu6.

Julie Griffin

My family came here for my brother’s rehearsal dinner and had a wonderful time. The server graciously and quickly managed our party of 15, even when it grew to 18. The food was delicious and they were even able to accommodate a couple special requests not on the menu. Highly recommend for the food, service and atmosphere!

Isaac Triance

Wonderful experience and amazing staff. Check it out next time you're in the Italian district.

Lyn A. Achong

Very lovely restaurant in Little Italy. Great service, great food, nice portion sizes.

Jason Hatter

Definitely get the garlic bread. All the entrees were phenomenal. Service is great. Atmosphere is quiet, calm and relaxing.

R Briggs Sherwood

Our third trip to Little Italy and the best yet .. Dalesio's is architecturally pleasing throughout and offers a casual yet elegant atmosphere .. beautifully spacious dining spaces and warm excellent service! The beautiful food we consumed included clams, seafood, and linguine w/ buttery sauces to die for .. took the pistachio cream cake home for later.

JJ

This place was a breath of fresh air after a poor experience at a different restaurant the night before. Phenomenal staff. Phenomenal food.

Lindsay Latham

We had a wonderful company dinner in their front dining room last night. The food was incredible and the service was fantastic. We did a prefixed meal, and the food and drinks flowed throughout the evening. Working with the owner Paul on setting up the private dinner was so easy. For private events or a delicious dinner, Dalesios is always my place to go when I come into Baltimore.

Catherine Beach

Our server Alejandro was exceptional and very friendly. He welcomed our group of four as soon as we sat down at the table. Alejandro was personable and ensured our orders were made to perfection. It was my birthday and he even had the other guests join in to sing happy birthday to me. We need more Alejandro's in hospitality! Great food and drinks, but even better service!

t b

Excellent meal today 11/24/21. My husband started with garlic bread and it was to die for. He had veal and I had pasta with salad and soup. Phenomenal service by Alejandro who was a super attentive lovely waiter. We loved that it was classic Italian and it was old school. Nice decor, not stuffy and not too crowded.

Shawna Karlberg

Awesome restaurant!! Wow! Homemade food, true Italian made! The staff was incredible. Thank you Dave for being the best waiter ever! The restaurant was clean and pretty. Garlic bread to die for! I had the lasagna and it was the best I have ever had in my life. Highly recommend!

Myka McGane

Knowledgeable staff with gluten free options that are super delicious. Great service and fine wine

Samantha Liss

We stopped here after a long ride and the owners were so nice. The food was excellent and the service was great. Highly recommend. The garlic bread was amazing. The chicken parm super authentic and the linguini clams delicious! All of the wine was reasonably priced.

Dee Castor

Atmosphere was great! It was quite good music, staff was great but food was not as flavorful as I had expected. I order for appetizers the garlic bread was great, calamari Fritti great and Insalata Umbria salad.. For the entree my son got the Pollo Parmesan he added shrimp... It was to watery I got the Frutti Di Mare Alla Mediterranea very tart to the taste blann I like my pasta more juicy to the taste. masala is thick but very creamy I am giving 3 stars because the food was not finger licking good. I like flavor wake up my taste buds. The price was not worth the taste. I realize I only got video but no photos

Amanda Norskog

Delicious food and excellent service. We had the veal bolognese and the veal piccata and both were superb. The cannoli was also great (don't be alarmed by the size in the picture - my husband and I were sharing so they split it so we each had our own).

Michaela McGinn

Great food, good service, and gluten free pasta options! Wine list is A+

Mary Lynn Huberty

1st time visitor. What an awesome experience. Food and service was top notch.

JeannieBeanie65

We went to Dalesio’s for my dad’s birthday dinner and it was awesome! The service was stellar (thank you David), the food was delicious, and the wine recommendation was so good! I cannot recommend Dalesio’s highly enough! Thank you Paul and staff for another wonderful evening!

Harry Hill

Poor service. The food was fair to good. Lobster ravioli appetizer was not very good; very firm and somewhat chewy noodles. Sauce was just ok. Lasagna lacked any form and was very low on meat. Had to request additional mairina sauce. Shrimp, lobster seafood pasta dish was good but needed more seasoning.

Taylor Pardue

Without a doubt our favorite place to eat in Baltimore! A warm and welcoming atmosphere with a great staff that makes you feel like family. Very approachable fine dining that is a great place for a date night, elevated family meal, or special event. My wife and I celebrated our engagement there and couldn't have been happier with the choice! There are too many great dishes on the menu to mention them all but we especially love the gnocchi and all of the veal dishes (especially the bolognese and the piccata). However, when available, the real star of the menu is the crab cake special which is one of the best we've ever had in Maryland. Desserts are also excellent - our favorite is the tiramisu but have heard the pistachio cake is also amazing.

Alexander Campbell

Incredible food (gnocchi, ravioli, crab cake, veal bolognese, you name it), wonderful service, and a lovely ambiance. Highly recommend if you are in Baltimore. A cornerstone of Little Italy.

Bob Budget

Great food and service! When in Baltimore this is the Italian Restaurant to visit for an wonderful experience!

sydney adamson

Went here for dinner with some friends from out of town and it was the perfect spot. Alejandro was an amazing waiter—a super funny, personable person who provided great service. We ordered a Paloma and he’d never heard of it before, but made a delicious drink after we told him the ingredients. The Veal Bolognese and Clams Casino were particularly great (and I’m not usually a clams person).

Carollei McMillin

after dining at dalesios, i’m a little surprised by all the 5-star reviews…we spent $105 (including tip) on two entrees, one appetizer, and two desserts (one to go), plus tea and water. we got less food than a $30 order of mission bbq. the only complimentary item is bread. no soup or salad with your entree. our server was ok, but they rattled off the specials, including an appetizer that i ordered in the moment which never came and never appeared on the bill, so it never entered their reality. the dining room was cute and service was friendly and fast enough, but the quality and amount of food was overpriced and underwhelming. i don’t expect ridiculous portions, but i do expect some kind of salad or soup with a $23 entree of nothing but noodles and sauce.

Eric

Made reservations for Mothers day 2022 and flew into Baltimore from Houston. Wonderful atmosphere and really great food. Walking distance from the Pier and great service!! My wife loved it!

Alea Marks

Since moving to the area, I've been trying out all the different Italian restaurants in Little Italy. I highly recommend Dalesio's Of Little Italy! Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, and amazing food. Looking forward to visiting this place again. Thanks for the great service!

Bob S

Amazing dinner! I had the Gnocchi w/meat sauce. The gnocchi where made and prepared perfectly. Light and fluffy, not over cooked. The meat sauce was one of the best I ever had, flavors where well balanced, no flavor was overpowering.

Pam Harvey (pamalama)

If you love Italian food this is the place to go! Chicken Marsala was beyond amazing. The quaint atmosphere was delightful with amazing staff. The next I’m back in town this will be a must stop for me and should be for you too!

Ty Nelson

Excellent food and service. You won't be disappointed!

Mike B

Dalesios is in my oppinion the best Italian restaraunt in Baltimore. The owner Paul is great, Sharon Alex and Dave are very friendly and great servers. The food is also delicious. Highly recommend the chicken marsala and any of their seafood dishes during the fall and summer. The atmosphere there is also great. Very relaxing and also has an older baltimore feel to it, as it opened back in the 80s. Very cool place.

Raul Shah

Dalesio’s is a fantastic restaurant. The ambiance is romantic, elegant, and tasteful. More importantly, the food is excellent. I’ve eaten here close to ten times over the last six years and I have never had a bad meal. The service is absolutely first class as well as my waiters/waitresses have been polite and have had great sense of humors. Lastly, the owner(s) - not sure if husband and wife or just husband, but both are so friendly. I feel like family when I come in. During troubling times, I think it’s imperative we as a community support local businesses and this is a place we deserves all our support and patronage. A wonderful, authentic Italian dinner experience with excellent leadership.

Val Powers

Lovely restaurant. Excellent service. Delicious food. Staff very sweet to accommodate our late arrival due to traffic. Calamari cooked perfectly. House salad lovely with a light vinaigrette. Gnocchi w Meat Sauce light and delicious. Red Snapper special lovely. Mushroom Ravioli delicious. We'll be back. Our waiter was absolutely wonderful. He loves his job and it shows.

Glenn Albrecht

Enjoyed our dinner here. Very good service as well.

Justin M

Amazing service and great food. Waiter suggested a lemon based sauce with my veal and it made my meal!

George Cudd

Excellent Italian restaurant. We always dine here when visiting little Italy in Baltimore

Nick Miller

This place was great! The service and quality was top notch. I really enjoyed my food it’s some of the best you’ll have. The seafood is so fresh, the pasta is homemade and it’s delicious! Their tiramisu is amazing. They have a very nice dining room with these custom hand painted tables. I’d highly recommend coming in here, you will not be disappointed

Sarah Allinson

Had a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary at Dalesio's! Alex, our server was pleasant and attentive. Our entrees were excellent, we had the Scampi Alla Marina Fra Diavolo and the Prosciutto Alla Toscana, perfect sizes, we did not fill up on bread! The Shrimp was fantastic and big! We capped dinner off with a second bottle of wine! Hidden Gem!

The Civil

Amazing garlic bread, ok pasta. Service A1. Super attentive servers!

Woody Payton

We were headed to a concert and stopped by without a reservation. The owner took such great care of us and the food is fabulous. Highly recommended and we’ll be back again soon

Barbara Tschamler

We enjoyed dinner her very much! David our server was great. He made our dinner special and memorable. We highly recommend!

Brendan Finch

Absolutely lovely. I was in town for the night with a group of us from Jersey, and the five of us walked in because we saw it on the map, and liked the look of it. They are currently doing seating by reservation, but we asked if they could make an exception as we were from out of town, and they kindly did so! The food was exceptional (Garlic bread for the table, and I got a Fruitti Di Mare, scallops, shrimp and mushroom in a marsala sauce over linguini, it was excellent!). We had there Chianti, which was also lovely, and I felt comfortable for with the price, which fit the elegance of the place, the service we received, and the quality of the food. I would definitely return here, the staff were lovely. Sorry I forgot to take pictures, I was enjoying the food and company too much to remember!

Rachel Silverman

Absolutely delicious!!! I came here with some friends while we were in Baltimore for one night, and the food was incredible. Our waiter was hilarious and attentive, and we loved the authentic Italian vibe/decor. I highly recommend that you go to Dalesio's!

Bio Yugi

As a fan of Italian food, this was absolutely some of the best Italian I've ever had. Their calamari and clams were ridiculously fresh and tender. Garlic bread was top notch and seasoned great, and the main courses were excellent as well. In a party of six people we got our food at a good time. The sauces; sampling a cream, bolognese, and marinara, were all delicious and rich. There were not any leftovers remaining, except the youngest's platter of food. Absolutely some great food.

Felisha Richards

You must get the garlic bread! Amazing taste! Entrees were delish. Most friendly staff. Calm and relaxing atmosphere. Ask for Alejonra. He provided top notch service! If I come back to Baltimore I will for sure return!

Michael Thomson

Fantastic... is all that is needed to be said! But a little extra is always welcomed right? My wife and I spontaneously chose Dalessio's tonight as we were in Little Italy again and we have basically been everywhere else down there, but it had been years since we last visited here for an event. So what the heck, we went and we were totally pleased that we did. My wife found the Calamari and the Alfredo sauce, to literally be the best she has ever had and she is Italian and can cook, so her saying that blew my mind. Restaurant is beautiful and well kept, food and service were excellent, and our drinks were great. There are only a few nice places left to eat in Little Italy these days due to the poorly ran economics and politics of this great city of Baltimore, which is a bit sad, but Dalessio's is definitely a top choice and a beacon as to what Little Italy was and still could be.... Awesome!!!

Ben Levin

Exceptional restaurant. Food and service equally top notch. Visited several time over the past year as it became a date spot for me and my fiancé (who I proposed to at the restaurant). Especially love the seafood pasta. Make sure to order the garlic bread to dip.

April Eyet

So we randomly decided to come to Little Italy for dinner tonight - this place did not disappoint. It’s been a long while since we were down. I rely heavily on ratings when I eat out or stay out overnight. I’ve gotta say the ratings should be higher. Our service was incredible - friendly, funny, entertaining at times! Alejandro was one of the best, he makes you feel like you’re home with family, like we had known each other for years. The garlic bread was close to perfect and the clams linguine with white sauce was reported to be one of the best ever eaten. My love’s favorite meal when we fine dine so he has a lot to compare against. My shrimp linguini, ugh! Our drinks were almost as much as our food! Shh, we got our water for free 🤫! It is few and far in between that I take the time to rate and also not feel guilty for what I ate. The portions were enough to fill you without leaving you feeling like your pants were busting at the seams. We will definitely be back.

Raffy Diaz

Alejandro was amazing! He made us feel like family. He also was very attentive and made us laugh. I totally recommend everyone to come. Amazing Italian food. I will be back!

Lilly Provost

GREAT FOOD and EVEN BETTER service! We were greeted with nothing but smiles and were able to sit on the most beautiful terrace. The server, Alejandro, was welcoming, funny, and super speedy. We really enjoyed and appreciated our time here and will definitely be returning.

David Neill

Visited twice while in town. Very accommodating staff, wonderful atmosphere and exceptional food

Robyn Detore

Absolutely the best Italian food in Little Italy. Not to mention the staff! Feel like family! But you better make a reservation they are seated quickly! Eggplant Parmigiana! ❤️ Until next time!

Yong Ju Park

Scampi di mare was great (had a lot of seafood and cooked well). Our waiters were also great and took good care of us. Food came out quick and fresh too. Would definitely go back.

Michael Price

Meal and wine were amazing. Alejandro is a wonderful server and made great recommendations… I did choose the veal over his pollo though. Can’t wait to come back!

Tyler Capone

The food here is amazing, our waiter Alejandro was funny and very helpful. The portions are great, prices are a little high but very reasonable for the quality of the food. Environment is very intimate and romantic but also great for family dinners. 10/10 recommend going to this restaurant.

Dan Mc

Attended a rehearsal dinner and the atmosphere and food was great.

Allison Marley

Took a team of 30 people for dinner. The food was incredible and the event was so well organized. They made it look effortless.

Monica Embrey, Realtor

This is by far the BEST and authentic Italian restaurant I've ever been to! The food came out and it was HOT! I got the Italian Wedding Soup, salad, Pollo Bolognese and the tiramasu. Everything was amazing! It was the best tiramasu I've ever had! The staff were friendly and attentive! I also got 2 entrées to take home and everyone loved their food as well! I live in VA & I can't wait until I'm working in Baltimore again so I can go back! I want to try other items on the menu, but I liked the Pollo Bolognese so much that I will probably keep getting that!

Carolyn Egrie

Family trip to Baltimore included dinner for 8 at Dalesio's. Service and food were excellent. Atmosphere was quiet with pleasant decor.

Jake Kruger

Quiet little Italian restaurant. Very delicious food and exceptional service!

Caroline Mechanick

We loved this restaurant ..a neighborhood gem with homey ambiance. excellent lasagne, eggplant parm,fruite de mar and veal saltimbocca (sp?)…the owner made us a very nice antipasto salad on the spot when requested, that was not on the menu! nice, well priced wine selection too! We were in town for a weekend and went here twice! We will be back! Don’t miss it.,

Randy Bradford

Brought my wife here for her birthday and the place was phenomenal. The service was on point the food was wonderful and the atmosphere and music knocked us off our feet. I recommend this to everyone near and far. This is our new spot to eat.

Brian Lorraine

Good food friendly staff. This is going on our "next time we visit bmore" list. Slightly pricey but the portions are fair.

Trey Hughes

David was an excellent server and his suggestions/pairings were perfect

Chris Powers

First of all Alejandro is amazing and funny . The food (and I am a very picky former chef) was amazing I had the chicken Francese (not on the menu, btw). It was fantastic. Special note to the homemade Gnocci with bolognese sauce, that my son had. The lightest gnocci I have ever tasted. I love bolognese sauce , and most places disappoint this was the best sauce I have ever had in a restaurant. Not only was the food Fantastic But we walked in at 30 min before closing , and felt more welcomed then I have felt in a long time at a restaurant. The staff assured us that they were happy to serve us and it didn't matter what time we ended. So much so that they talked us out of ordering dessert to go. A MUST DO dining experience if you're ever in Baltimore.

Lauren Miller

Best Italian restaurant we have ever been to. The food was fantastic. The penne alla vodka, lasagna, and garlic bread were so delicious. The hostess and waiter were super attentive and very kind. The restaurant was very covid conscious. Tables were spread out and we felt very safe. We cannot wait to come back!

anna schlatter

Had dinner here for the first time and it was wonderful. Sat outside on the 2nd floor patio - a little narrow- but still comfortable for 2 people. The garlic bread was great, fresh mozzarella was good, but dinner was amazing. My husband had the prosciutto alla toscana and I had the chicken bolognese. I like my sauce spicy and they made it perfect for me. Our server Dave was funny and helped make it a perfect evening. You can tell the pasta is freshly made. I make my own so I'm picky, and theirs was al dente and delicious.

Anthony Detore

Dalesio’s is hands down my favorite Italian restaurant. I travel into the city of Baltimore every year and every time I eat here without fail I am astonished by not only the atmosphere, but the cuisine that comes with it. I have not found a restaurant in either my home city, or Baltimore that I love more. Every employee is very friendly and professional. I’ve had about every item on the menu and have not found one that wasn’t amazing. If you are visiting Baltimore, or you live there, Dalesio’s IS A MUST. Definitely the BEST restaurant in Baltimore.

Jennifer M. Matos

My boyfriend and I were visiting for business from New York so we were a little skeptical about going to an Italian Restaurant that was not in New York. But.. Omg!!! Was I ever surprised. I had Pollo Bolognese and it was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend got chicken parm with baked penne and that was delicious as well. Atmosphere gives a cozy feel and the wait staff was knowledgeable of what was on the menu and very friendly. Next time we're in Baltimore, we will definitely be coming back.

Kathryn Goldman

Fabulous food , decor and service. We were on a tight schedule and they were able to accommodate us without making us seem rushed. The Italian wedding soup was delicious as was the Chicken Parmesan. The best house salad I have ever had and I eat out a lot! I left my credit card there and the owner went out of his way to overnight it to me. This is definitely my go to restaurant in Baltimore!

Nancy Woodward

We can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The food is fantastic- best Italian food we have ever had and the staff and atmosphere are the best. Without going into too much detail, our family arrived at Dalesio’s of Little Italy cold, tired from driving through tornado warnings and nervous as we were bringing our eldest to college in a new city the next day. It was as if the restaurant knew we needed nourishment beyond delicious food and they delivered. From the hostess to our unbelievable waiter, we were cared for, cajoled and fed hot, comforting and delicious food. I was worried no one would eat because of how nervous we were, our boys devoured every morsel. My eldest said he will only eat chicken parm at Dalesio’s - no where else. “No one will ever be able to top theirs.” My other son can’t wait to go back and order the best veal ravioli he has ever had. The penne all vodka is to die for. Please don’t hesitate to eat at this family owned business. Do it so they can recover from the COVID induced shut down and do it because the food is fabulous and you will be nourished in more ways than one.

Chris Beckey

Really delicious and the upstairs patio wall wonderful on a warm evening

shannon frock

The atmosphere is relaxing. The food came out piping hot which I love! Alejandro was hilarious! Loved everything about dinner! So glad we ran into this spot!

david romine

Everybody loved their dish. Chicken Marinara and Ravioli are tops. Not many place do fried calamari right, but this place does. Pleasant atmosphere without feeling too stuffy.

Rich Gibbons

Dalesio’s of Little Italy came highly recommended from a friend. My wife and I recently visited the restaurant and were thrilled with our whole experience. Both of our dinners were outstanding in both taste and presentation. I had the veil saltimbocca and the dish transported me back to a little trattoria just outside Vatican City Roma, Italy. That is where I first fell in love with this dish. Dalesio’s was as good if not better. My wife had the gnocchi and they were pillowy soft and delicious. Our server was pleasant, very helpful and attentive. The restaurant’s decor was warm and inviting. Dalesio’s of Little Italy is a must visit when coming to Baltimore.

Mark Galbraith

Food was excellent Takes a little time Worth the wait

Analog Entertainment LLC

Very good freshly made food, also the service was outstanding

Jeremy Lefeve

Just went for dinner tonight. The atmosphere was very inviting, our server, David was personable and warm hearted. The food, scampi fra diavlo, and scampi alla sardegno were delicious with in house home made pasta. We split a creme brule for dessert and it was to die for. On our way out we met this lovely couple that happened to be the owners and had a wonderful conversation. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody that is looking for a great meal in a great atmosphere.

Matt B

Went on an impromptu date because she found it on a quick search of restaurants in Little Italy. We had Alejandro, who has his praises sung in a lot of other comments. Neither disappoint. The garlic bread was good (though garlic bread is a blessing as it is). I was introduced to mussels and the first time here and quite enjoyed. Entreé was Pollo Bolognese, which was both good and a good portion size to not leave you wanting more or feel stuffed to burst. The absolute best, however, was the desert. We got the limoncello cake. It was smooth, the flavor was astounding, and it was very moist. If you want a fun little outing, this is a good one. The price is worth it.

Brittany Diekneit

Alejandro was amazing tonight! Catered to us 100%. Brought drinks and food out in a very timely manner, extremely personable and hilarious, mad rush feel right at home after being gone from the city for 2+ years.

Aysiah King

Alejandro was amazing. The fettuccine with cream sauce was incredible. The seafood was fresh, the drinks were strong, the service was awesome. I highly recommend this place. Check it out!

David H

We just had our mother's 70th birthday party at Dalesio's. 19 adults plus 4 children. It was an outstanding experience. Mr. Paul Oliver was my contact from the restaurant who helped to coordinate the event. It was very easy to plan, he asked all the right questions on how to set up the party. Everything went extremely well. The appetizers and wine were ready when everyone showed up. The wine was outstanding and flowed well. The pace of the evening was great. We were not rushed. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The food came out at appropriate times and temperature. And the food was OUTSTANDING. I hate to put this online, but the food is incredible for the price you pay. You cannot get a better value for your money in Little Italy. We are already planning on when we will go back!

Mary J Sparks

Celebrated a special occasion with a party of 10. The atmosphere was welcoming, warm and relaxing.Service was outstanding with superb menu selection. All 10 guests found the wide range of entrees excellent. All were so comfortable none wanted to leave. Thanks to David our waiter for anticipating our every need.

David Lemel

Lesa Camp

The absolute best Italian restaurant EVER! Service was 5 star, food was 5 star. Will definitely return.

Maxwell Breene

The food was great, but the service was the icing on the cake. Our waiter, Alejandro, was friendly, funny, and extremely helpful. The best waiter I have ever had at a restaurant. Go to Dalesio’s and ask for Alejandro. You will not be disappointed.

Valeriy Verkhovskiy

Great experience. Beautiful ambience. Great views of little Italy. Family atmosphere. Our server Alex took good care of us. Gave good recommendations and food was great. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. Definitely recommend this place.

JP Gautreaux

The food was absolutely perfect! Only thing better than the food was the outstanding customer service. Also the restaurant dining area was immaculately clean. The customer restrooms were spotless. If you want to take someone out on a date, celebrate an event with family or simply grab a quick bite for lunch Dalesio's is the place to be. I am a NYer and Italian food aficionado. This place is VERY GOOD! I have been to little Italy in NY, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Wilmington DE, and Baltimore. Dalesio's makes my list of top places to get great Italian food, customer service and ambience.

Charity Anastasio

I had meat lasagna and calamari. Both good, but not "unique." Very traditional sauce, flavors. Bread was stale and butter tasted like old refrigerator. But I like it. Atmosphere is pretty good, they accommodate large groups well, and they are pleasant.

Donald Henry

Excellent food and service. Alejandro, our waiter, was attentive without being intrusive. He gave us excellent advice for wine and entres and made us feel welcome and important. The food was outstanding.

Sharon D

Had the most delicious dinner with my family. From the Garlic Bread, Umbria Salad, Veal Franchese, Bolognese, Eggplant Parmesan, and let’s not forget the Tiramisu & Limoncello Cake. Dalesios does it right & won’t disappoint! We will be back!

Antoinette Levon

I'm from Little Italy and half Italian. The food here is quality. The pasta vodka was amazing! They also make their own desserts. Try the pistachio cake. So light and airy, yet delicious.

Grace Flores

Great service! Food was fabulous! We got in without reservations, but they were so busy!! Hope everyone that was there enjoyed their food as much as we did.

Samuel Moessner

They stayed open longer after I arrived in town later for a conference at the Marriott. My hotel suggested this place and it did not disappoint. It was delicious and the lasagna was a large portion. Very reasonable in price. If i am ever in this part of Baltimore again, I would highly recommend this wonderful Italian Restaurant.

Kiona Williams

The server for John's Hopkins HITEC dinner was Excellent very accommodating and very polite. I was very pleased with the top notch service that was given. Great food great atmosphere.

Marla Booth

Food was outstanding. Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious and served piping hot. Service was equally impressive. David helped us and he was clearly quite experienced. Five stars!

Darrien Ross

The penne alla vodka was mind blowing. The atmosphere was calming and the decor was classic and charming. The service was excellent and the meal did not feel rushed at all. Our waiter, David, was personable and took an interest in us as people instead of just patrons. If you're looking for an Italian restaurant with an inviting atmosphere and authentic, extraordinary cuisine, Dalesio's is the place to go. I would highly recommend this restaurant to show someone the beautiful things that Baltimore has to offer.

Michael Smith

Great service, great meal, great atmosphere. Someone in our group accidentally left her ear muffs behind, and our waiter booked it in order to catch up to us and get them to her! We tried appetizers, entrees, and desserts from all over the menu, and everyone was very impressed with our meal! The next time I am in Baltimore I will be coming back!

JeLani Walker

I have been to this location a few times. This time I was just like the rest. Treated like royalty. Like one of the family. Hands-down the best food in Little Italy. Alejandro will treat you like a king! Love this place!

Harry Melton

Went in for an early dinner, service was very welcoming and sat us immediately. We had stopped by the night before to look at a menu, chose to go somewhere else, however we were remembered the next night. Ordered a appetizer, the vegetable soup with Maryland crab, very large portion size and quite delicious. Had three different entrees, one seafood, one vegetarian, and one veal - all very delicious. Had a great dessert (panacotta) with wonderful espresso. Would return and recommend to friends!

Ron Johnsen

Excellent food and David J was an awesome waiter.

Reza Djalal

Excellent place, the gnocchi was delicate and delicious. Very great service and pleasant atmosphere. Also the prices were surprisingly affordable.

Maria Mullins

Me and my husband went over the weekend and it was absolutely amazing. The food was incredible and the service was great! Can’t wait to return!

Ken Fitzgerald

Pretty good food in a beautiful setting. The pesto gnocchi I had were good but didn't have enough flour, making them super soft (nearly mashed potato consistency). It's kid friendly.

Sunny R

The food is delicious. The ambiance is lovely. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. However, the pricing is a bit high for what you get in my opinion.

andrae bailey

Very nice Cozy Restaurant tucked away in a corner of the Inner harbor, want to get away from the hustle and bustle this is the place to go visit sit quietly and eat some amazing food. The service was great the patrons are extremely friendly, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and did I mention the food was amazing. Great place for a date or just to go with family or by yourself for some great dining, I will definitely be back.

Lauren Miller

We visited Dalesio’s on Thanksgiving and had an amazing experience. Alejandro was our server and he was very friendly, outgoing and had a great sense of humor. There was also a great wine selection. My husband said he had the best veal Parmesan he’s ever had in his life. Definitely try the Frutti Di Mare. Highly recommended for a nice dinner or special occasion.

Zak Persing

Paul made our anniversary special even though we had to eat at home during the quarantine. The food was incredible and I can’t recommend it enough. If you are looking for Italian food in Little Italy, you need to eat here! Thank you Paul for making our day so special!

Herb Wong

We accidently found this restaurant and ate there for three nights out of five. It was truly delicious. Kids loved the food and Shrimp Scampi... we had the daily fish and tried other different dishes. Service was friendly... atmosphere is cozy. Definitely will be a landmark for us whenever we return back to Baltimore.

Ashley E

Where do I even begin! First of all - our waiter was David and he was the best! He was seriously one of the best waiters I've ever had! It is in such a cute neighborhood and we went at noon and it was so quiet in there. The food was OUTSTANDING! The whole experience was one of a kind!

Brian Conlon

A little out of the way, but well worth it, they quickly sat our party of eight. Fantastic waiter, the table was beautifully set, the food was fresh and perfectly prepared. I would highly recommend you give them a try.

Joseph Mulvaney

Took my daughter out in recent visit. Waiter was terrific. Food was terrific. Cooked to perfection. Portions were just right. All at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend on any visit to Baltimore.

Carol Lewin

Great food. We had veal & clams/ mussels. Alexandro our waiter was beyond great. Atmosphere ver pleasant. Will dine there again

Ric Rini

There are plenty of Italian restaurants to choose from in little Italy so you better be good. Dalesio's was a solid good and I would return. I started with their gorgonzola dressed salad. It was just okay and lacked much visual presentation. The dressing was decent but overwhelmed the salad. My entree was the highlight. Calamari in marinating with spaghetti. The sauce was delicious and the squid cooked acceptably. The service was friendly, courteous, professional and attentive. A very nice experience.

Scott Schelp

A very odd dinning experience. My dish was very tasty however the mushroom ravioli that a person in my group ordered was just doused in oil. The wait staff was very awkward and a little dismissive. This isn't a bad place however it definitely did not live up to the hype.

Kelvin Stansberry

The atmosphere is intimate and ellegant, a nice place to treat yourself, a date, or a small group of friends. I ordered the crab meat linguine with Alfredo sauce. It was fantastic and reasonably priced. Ask for David. He is an excellent waiter.

Vanessa

Must try this great Italian restaurant 😊 not only is the food amazing the services is great. The waiter Alejandro was very funny and very attentive. Best place for Italian food for any tourist like myself visiting Baltimore to try. …

D Rich

We gave my mother a surprise 70th birthday dinner at Dalesio's and it was an exceptional experience. The decor and ambiance of the private room we dined in were perfect for the occasion. Our guests raved about how good the Chicken Tortellini, Chicken Parmesan and Lasagna were. The Limoncello Cake and Tiramisu were light and delicious! The owner Paul was very acommodating in providing details and amenities that were needed for planning and making it an evening to remember. There is a decorative chair in the second floor hallway that was a perfect prop for our photographer to take photos of my mother and our guests. The restrooms were conveniently located down the hall from the room and were very clean and serviceable. The waitstaff were very attentive and detailed in helping us progress through the planned activities of the evening. Pay parking is located across the street from the resturant which was a plus. I highly recommend Dalesio's for your future dining needs and hosting private events!

Marianne Duddy-Burke

Excellent food. Helpful, warm staff, a great group dinner! Everyone in our party spoke highly of the experience.

Matthew Danowski

Dalesio's is a Little Italy stalwart which is beginning to show its age. While you can still find dependable Italian-American food here, the interior is beginning to show its age and the elegance of days past is being slowly lost. Prices are still reasonable, which makes it an enjoyable spot for a casual dinner, but if you are looking for a fancy night out there are now a lot more options. They have a refined wine selection and nice prices. The bread left a bit to be desired.

Pat wheway

I ordered take out and had car trouble. The restaurant went out of the way to find someone to deliver the food to our hotel, even during this tough times. On top of that, the food was great. Turned what could have been a real bummer in to a real great night. Thanks and will be back on way through again. People could not have been nicer

David Wymer

First time at Dalesio's but will be back on return trips to Baltimore. The bruschetta was very lite and very fresh toppings. The chicken Bolognese was extremely tasty with rich flavors. Service was friendly and responsive to menu inquiries. This is the real Italian restaurant.

Mary Lou Hamilton

a special request of Bruscetta which was not on the menu was no problem and was fabulous. Everything was great We had Grouper with lump crab and lemon caper sauce and Chicken masala which, both were exceptional. Desserts outstanding. Service is also impeccable.

Eydie Johnson

We were in Baltimore for a wedding. Discovered Dalesio's of Italy as it was close to our hotel. OMG! It was the most amazing Italian food. As if you were actually in Italy. Service was excellent! We basically had Valentine's night on 21 March and did not plan this. Dalesio's of Italy gave us a romantic evening😁 …

Google User

Still remember the near-magical experience one perfect-weather weekday evening during the 2001/2 Volvo Ocean Race. Dalesio's owner picked up a client and me from the Hyatt Inner Harbor in a big clean van. We enjoyed his commentary on the history, scenery and, especially, the enthusiastic Italian greetings and waves exchanged between him and residents of Little Italy as we drove slowly to the restaurant. Perfect service. Wonderful food. Forever smiles!

Thomas Moore

Best food this side of Italy! The gnocchi was light and delicious and my veal was tender and flavorful. The service was perfectly timed so we didn't feel rushed.

Chuck Ross

Celebrated my niece's high school graduation last night at D'Alesio's. The meal was delicious and the service was excellent as always. Thanks for a great evening!

Andrew Fischer

The atmosphere is really top notch. Service could have been a bit quicker, but the waiter was very knowledgeable. If you are visiting the inner harbor it is a great place for Italian food within walking distance.

DAR

Meal was excellent, they have Gluten free pasta. Waiter's are friendly and sociable. Reasonable prices. Relaxing atmosphere.

Michael Pahl

Have been wanting to come here for years, but wifey always says no. Today, no wifey. Today, me go. It is slightly off the beaten path, and today at lunch time it was empty. Classic, simple italian-like interior - almost as if you are dining in someone's home. Perfect lunch menu - - not too much, not too little. Classic dishes, nothing trendy. We ordered gnocchi, linguini, Mediterranean seafood and ravioli - staples, that if you can't get right, you can't make Italian food. Everything tasted homemade - I'm certain the pasta is made on the promises. The gnocchi was great, and the marinara sauce is the real deal. The linguini was exceptional pasta, but slightly over-cooked- not al dente. All ingredients tasted fresh. I didn't try the seafood because I'm allergic to shrimp, but that diner said it was exceptional. The real treat was the ravioli - never had ravioli like that! For classic, simple northern Italian food, I think you will find Dalesio's a real treat.

Tricia Blount

Absolutely amazing! The server was very nice, the place is beautiful, and the food is divine!!! The frutti di mare was so good. Please do yourself a favor and go.

sjones171

Delesio’s was outstanding in every way! Our table was ready when we arrived, the suggested appetizer was delicious, and the food and wine was wonderful! Eric, our waiter, was attentive and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Ben King

Atmosphere is quite and subdued, no loud fellow dinners or groups of twenty people all trying to talk at once. White table clothes on the tables with lots of room between the tables, so I don't have to listen to the small talk at the adjoining table. Food and service are VERY good. BUT, was the meal and tip worth $94.00?

Steve Esposito

My wife and I had dinner on the balcony here last night.... As we were seated we heard a local couple tell the waiter they just had the best crab cakes in Baltimore. Good prompt service made a good first impression. We ordered the shrimp and crab meat ravioli app. before ordering our main courses to taste the quality of food. The fresh seafood wrapped in homemade pasta topped with an awesome creamy tomato and basil sauce was delicious. We decide to stay. My wife absolutely loved her lasagna and I really enjoyed the veal bolognese over linguini. We are usually disappointed dining out bc my wife honestly cooks better meals then most chefs but We were impressed. When you are wiping the sauces off your plate and the plate next too you with their homemade bread to savory every last bite: You will be happy you dined here!

Mark Casteel

The food was wonderful. If you get the chance make sure to ask for Alejandro, best server I have had in Baltimore since I moved here in August of 2020

Julia

Wonderful food! We asked for David as our waiter from some of the reviews & he did not disappoint...very good service. The mussels appetizer was so good & then order some buttery, garlicky bread & dip it in the sauce....mmmm. My hubby got Frutti Di Mare Alla Mediterranea & it was soooo good w/a creamy Marsala sauce. I got a flounder stuffed w/crabmeat special which was so good. The only negative was my side of pasta....was not a fan of that red sauce on the pasta but that was the only negative. Limoncello cake for desert.....yummy & they did have a lot of desert choices. Will come back when in Baltimore!

Christine Shirley

This is the BEST food I’ve ever had! Fresh salad, best garlic bread! I wanted to kidnap the chef!!! JK!

Wen Han

Wonderful, restaurant in the heart of Little Italy. With the decor, you feel like you are in someone's lovely Italian home. The cuisine is very fancy but you can still find the traditional spaghetti with meat sauce, eggplant parmesan and chicken parmesan. The best part is so many Seafood entrees! Great service & parking lot across the street, or on-street parking if you carefully read the signs.

Mallory Highstein

I'm not a huge fan of Italian food, but I like Dalesio's. My major complaint was that they didnt really have many non pasta courses. Usually at an Italian places I find that there are numerous meal salads to chose from, but I dont think there were any at Dalesios. The food was very good but I wasnt too pleased with the breadth of the menu overall.

Jay Yarborough

The meal started off well; the garlic bread and bruschetta were fantastic. However, I ordered the pesto gnocchi and the pesto sauce was lacking flavor. The gnocchi itself was cooked well, but the dish just missed the mark.

Izabela Zima

My husband and I had dinner at this restaurant for our anniversary. Gorgeous location, amazing food and great service. David from Australia was our server and he was extremely kind and accommodating. I highly recommend this place.

Stephen Manuel

I had the linguine and clams, my wife had the view and both were fantastic. We were there on a Tuesday night and it was easy to make reservations and the place was not crowded at all. Great service great meal

David C

Great service, great atmosphere, and yummy food. While we all enjoyed the food and it was delicious, nothing really stood out to me. I would go there again, but it is not a must go to spot for me. Hence, why I gave it a 4.

Tammy Saul

Would give 6 stars if I could. We chose Dalesio's to host a 60+ attendee event this week. Went off without a hitch. Professional service, great ambience and delicious food at a very reasonable price. Will go back here every time. Thank you Dalesio's.

Laeun Sung

The Insalata Umbria with the Gorgonzola dressing is swoon-worthy and makes the visit worthwhile. We went in the middle of summer so it was definitely a bit hot, and service a bit slow but! It was a fantastic meal and Daesio's is worth a visit every time we're in Baltimore.

Charm'tastic Mile

Dalesio's is one of those must go-to Italian restaurants that have true authentic flare. The Veal and Lasagna were amazing. I'm coming back to celebrate "Octoberghetti" with a nice plate of spaghetti with home made sauce.

UnspokenBMP

Great service and delicious pasta. Best penne alla vodka I've ever had

Kelly Campbell

Cora Bosse

Alejandro was a great waiter and attentive server. He was knowledgeable about the menu and wine list and recommended great pairings.

Vivek Babaria

Several vegetarian dishes including a gnocchi, eggplant parm, penne a la vodka, and a ravioli. The food was delicious. I usually judge an italian place on the quality of their house marinara. There's was superb.

Resa Kierstein

Alejandro was wonderful with our large party this evening. The food was wonderful, portions were plentiful and the service was great.

Nicholas Happel

So fortunate to have this place just a few minute walk away from hotel in downtown Baltimore. Food was awesome! Service was great! Love this place and plan to visit again.

Bonnie Estes

Excellent food and service. Ask for Server Daniel. He's very friendly and professional. Everyone is welcoming and the food is exceptionally good.

Charles Cosner

I think that this spot in Little Italy in Baltimore is some of the best Italian food anywhere. Lasagna is a tired old I talian staple, right ? Not here ! It is sublime. And their quality remains constant over the years. I will go to Baltimore just to eat here again.

Suzy G.

Love love love this place!! The food is always amazing and the staff is just so friendly and such a part of the awesome experience. We will be back!

Samuel Mason

Motto Bene!!!! Excellent food, service, staff. Just perfect. It was my birthday as well. Alejandro is the secret ingredient of Dalesio’s!

Kristi France Gibbs

My family enjoyed the service, food and experience at Dalesio’s on Mother’s Day. Alejandro was great with his humor, attention and service. Thank you for a great Day!

Shaun Kuffel

Reading the menu on the street, Isaac came out and greeted us, made jokes, told us our table was ready. Came in and spent the next 2.5 hours enjoying great food, great service and wonderful ambience. Everything was perfect - the creme brulee was to DIE FOR! Then took a selfie on the street with Isaac again! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Kelly R

Awesome mom and pop place and the food was excellent!

This is a quite and small italian restaurant. The restaurant has a warm ambiance with welcoming staff. The restaurant serves typical tasty italian food. I recommend ravioli con tre funghi.

Concore

The best Italian food I have had by far! The service was great. You must try the limoncello.cake and chocolate martini .. It is phenomenal! !

Patrick Gilliland

I spent a week in Baltimore and tried to experience as many restaurants as I could. Without a doubt, this place had the best food of the week for me and my coworkers. It was also the least crowded. I would def go back.

Kareem El

Amazing food and even friendlier owners. If you’re in the mood for some amazing Italian food I recommend trying them out!

Herb Myers

The Calimari was slightly under cooked, a little bit chewy. The Eggplant Parmesan more than compensated for the Calimari, fantastico. We finished up the meal with canolis all around😋manga …

Becky Thomas

Had dinner last night with friends. Nice looking, clean restaurant and all 4 of us loved our meal. We will return on our next visit to Baltimore.
