The bread and parmesan are complimentary and GOOD. The freshness and lightness of both are fantastic. I ordered the Lobster Ravoli and the cream sauce was the STAR of the dish! It was so flavorful. My boyfriend got the Lobster Diavolo which he enjoyed but it was just okay to me. We shared a medium rare Cowboy Ribeye steak--YUMM. It was full of favor. We enjoyed a bottle of wine at the table as well. No dessert. Service was good and attentive.

So I have been coming to Amadeo's for years. We were sad to hear it was closing and then we got…read morenews that a couple was taking the restaurant over. We were excited but needed to try it for ourselves to see if it still had the Amadeo's service, great food, and ambiance! Let me tell you I want to gate keep. I really, really do. But this place is doing it right. The ambiance is the same but with a hip new twist. Same lovely old time bar but new artwork and table set up. The service was still top notch. Becca was still there and we were so happy to see her! The staff were so nice and all of this was before the food. They had experts in wines to help us pair with the meal. But we were blown away by the food! We got the tomato pie. Now stop there. That tomato pie is 100% perfection. I'm not over exaggerating! 100% perfect. I will die on that hill any day. The yellow tail crudo was light and freshing after that rich pie. But it was a perfect platelet cleanser before the mezza manichie. The pasta sauce was light while also savory. It was honestly the perfect meal. I know they switch up the menu but please keep that tomato pie! It's so damn good. I can't give Amadeo's higher than a 5 star, but I would if I could. It's a smaller place so plan ahead. But we will be back time and time again. Thanks for keeping this lovely Little Italy staple open and thriving.

This place was such a delight. We came here with our kids and they just loved this experience…read more The restaurant has a gigantic bocce ball court that takes up much of the first level. We were seated at a table that overlooked the court and a digital screen that flashed beautiful photos of Italy's top tourist spots. My kids were thrilled when they saw Venice, since they just learned about it in school. After ordering food, I took the kids to the bocce court while my partner could enjoy the wine and watch us from above. I know he appreciated having the break and a good glass of wine to go with it. Service was friendly and the food was fantastic. We ordered several dishes including several types of pasta, meatballs, cheesy bread and a caesar salad. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and a great vibe overall. I already have a reservation when we pass through Baltimore again in a few weeks.

There was about 8 of us and we were seated downstairs in the bar area at a high top. Despite there being a reservation, it felt like our party was a last minute thought. The table was cramped and the ambiance of the downstairs bar area was dingy and dimly-lit. Our server, who was also the only bartender, did his best to multi task all night, although his demeanor was not very warm or friendly. I ordered the gluten free version of the Samantha fettuccine. Despite this being the only noodle they don't make in house, I had to pay extra for it. Annoying, but not totally unexpected. What was disappointing was the total price for the dish. It came out to be almost $50.... I believe the pasta is marked as market price due to the inclusion of crab meat but when it arrived, there was barely any in the dish. The flavor of the sauce was good but definitely not worth the price tag. I won't be returning anytime soon.

The ambiance of the restaurant is absolutely stunning! The details and decor is carefully designed. Really gives an elegant and comfortable vibe with sophistication. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We all felt extremely welcomed. Their wine menu is extensive! I was really happy to have our server offer me a taste of a wine I was unsure of. The wine was amazing. We ordered two cocktails which were less impressive. If we were to go back, would definitely stick with wine. For our food the table ordered some salads to start. The beet salad was very fresh! Our main entrees were good. It was very pricey. You definitely need to order multiple courses to be full.

I had an incredible experience at Benny's this weekend. We had a party of 9 for a birthday dinner…read moreand my wife wanted to go to a Mexican restaurant nearby that didn't take reservations. I went an hour early before everyone else was supposed to be there to get on the waitlist, but the wait was until 10 pm!! So I quickly switched gears and called Benny's because I've heard great things about them. The gentlemen who answered the phone was so kind, and was able to squeeze us in on the fly on a Saturday night, and they weren't slow. Got there super early because I was already in the area, and my wife and I decided to have an old fashioned and an espresso martini at the bar while we waited and they were excellent. The ambiance was upscale but still managed to be relaxed and comfortable. We had a lovely dinner, the waiter was busy but was still attentive and patient. Our whole experience was awesome, so we were already going back in the future. Yesterday I realized a mistake on my bank account from the bar charge, so I called around 6 pm and spoke to the same gentlemen as before. He got all my info and promised he'd call back in 5 minutes. I didn't really expect 5 minutes because I know how crazy the dinner rush would be at an Italian restaurant with a Wednesday wine special. Not even 3 minutes later he called back, and explained what happened, fixed it and I got a follow up text immediately letting us know the refund was already in process. Now, I've been in the service industry and I was a bartender, so I understand that I'm going to be a little biased here but from beginning to end Benny's went above and beyond. They clearly appreciate their customers and love their work, it shows.

The place is quirky and fun with a bar at the front and dining room in the back. The owner Nancy was great! She is a culinary expert and just overall fun story teller. Now the food! My goodness the poutine was delicious. Seasoned perfectly and with the best combo of crab, sauce, and crispy beach style fries! Yum! We got the vegetarian Pho to even out the meal with Nancy's recommendation. She was not wrong. The Pho was one of the best I've ever had! The drink that Nancy made with watermelon and tequila was perfection at the end of the meal. I will come back for the events she offers, the fun, fantastic food, and wonderful conversations! Top notch place and we feel sad we just made our way here. But now we know we will be back many many many times.

Whether you're stopping by for cocktails or a full meal, the setting is beautiful, and the bar has an impressive variety of drinks. The bar staff was also super friendly and welcoming. One thing I noticed was the DJ booth above the bar. Unfortunately, on a Saturday night around 9:00 p.m., there wasn't much of an atmosphere. The music was so low and monotone that you could barely hear it, and the entire space felt a bit stuffy. With views like these, I expected a much livelier vibe. Someone who visits regularly told us this place used to be much more energetic when there was a DJ, but lately it's become pretty quiet. I can definitely see the potential because the venue itself is gorgeous--it just seemed to be missing the energy that would make people want to stay. We ended up leaving after one drink because the atmosphere felt like a bit of a yawn. That said, I'd still recommend stopping in for a cocktail and to enjoy the incredible views. Hopefully they'll bring back the DJ and revive the fun, vibrant atmosphere this place seems built for.
