From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel like family. You can tell this team takes real pride in what they do, and it elevates the entire dining experience. Now let's talk about the star of the night: the veal carbonara with the freshly made bread in house, hands down the best I've ever had. The veal was incredibly tender, the sauce silky and rich without being heavy, and the balance of flavors was spot‑on. It's the kind of dish that stops conversation for a moment because you just need to appreciate how good it is. Between the exceptional service and a carbonara that sets a new standard, this place has earned a permanent spot on my favorites list. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Italian cooking done at the highest level. read more

Noli's - Veal Carbonara - Italian Near Me - Leonardtown, Maryland

Great New York/Italian restaurant. You get the vibes, food, and service. The pizza is typically a go-to here. It's not my all-time favorite, but it's still great. read more

We ordered the Margherita Pizza and it was delicious- the sauce, the dough, and just the right amount of cheese. I also ordered the Veal Piccata, but did not like it that much. The waitress was kind enough to send it back and have it remade (I asked just to add more lemon juice to my dish), but it still came out pretty much the same- hardly any lemon flavor, and the wine was overbearing and sweet. I get picatta from several places, but never got it where the wine was so strong - and sweet. I will definitely come back though for the pizza! I will also say- the manager/owner checked on me and said if you don't like it, you don't pay for it, but that's not me. I took it home and doctored it up. Next time I may try the lasagna- that also looked good! read more

Everything we have had there was excellent especially the Prime rib. We would recommend the food to everyone. The service is excellent along withe the desserts read more

I took my mom for Mother's Day lunch and the server said they couldn't give us an Aperol spritz because it wasn't on the menu. I ordered an espresso martini with chocolate, it took over an hour to get and was served with caramel. My chicken piccata was soggy and sweet. It took over 5 minutes to get water refilled. The restaurant was not busy, was crazy quiet with no atmosphere and no music. I'm very upset with the experience. We will never be going back. read more

Excellent Pasta & Pizza!! On a recommendation we drove down from the DC area to enjoy a day aware from the hustle. Our 1st time at Noli's was Pizza Day and since that visit we have enjoyed much of the fabulous menu. Using the FRESHEST ingredients is the key and Noli's always delivers exceptional food. The Staff are attentive and now Noli's is our FAV in Leonardtown. Bonus - a 5 minute walk and you are art the Leonardtown Winery? read more

Chicken parm, Caesar salad, calamari, service and layout of the restaurant was all fantastic! Great for a well deserved date night with the wife. We WILL be coming back :) read more

A perfect meal interrupted only by perfect service. You walk into Noli's in Leonardtown, MD to what can only be described as an avalanche of New York, New York kitsch (neon Yankees logos and a Daily News front page announcing the death of Marlon Brando.) "The Don May Be Gone" but he'll regret never having tasted a sublime Veal Marsala and Garlic Knots swimming in sauce and butter. This is a joint that my gold-tooth grandmother might have enjoyed, since I wouldn't have to deal with her constant complaining. Who knew that my new favorite Italian red sauce joint is a mere 250 miles away. To hell with my gun, I'll take the Cannoli. Five easy stars. read more

The food is good with the exception of the pasta served with every dish. It's the think noddle which I hate. i asked for angel hair pasta and they said this was the only kind they served. Other than that, each Mel was great as was the pizza. read more

Food wasn't as good as the previous owners. Ordering online is such a pain now. Went to pick up multiple items and they brought out one item at a time over a 10 minutes period after ordering 45 minutes prior to arrival. Don't get me started on the pay system complete disaster int store! Staff at the front were not knowledgeable and being in between them and other customers complaining was miserable. Will try again in the future but what an awful experience. read more

Sat at the bar as we didn't have a reservation. Apparently a must for weekend dinner time. The service there was satisfactory. The chicken parm was okay, some parts of the cutlets were burned. The cheesecake was good, but the fruit accompaniment was missing. Some raspberries were retrieved from the cooler when I requested something. read more

Went here pretty late to grab a quick meal with friends. Honestly, we heard the food was just okay and after a year of living just down the road we decided to try them. I'm glad we did. The food was INCREDIBLE. Huge portions and just absolutely perfect. The fried eggplant is thin, perfectly crisp, and not greasy. The sauces were vibrant and plentiful. The pizza was an absolute home run - get something with ricotta! The servers were friendly and quite funny. The inside is pretty simple, nothing fancy, and most certainly not big. We will absolutely be back. read more

We were seated immediately, which was a great start to our visit. My husband ordered the chicken Parmesan, but unfortunately the chicken was overcooked. I had the Nonna's combo, and it was very good. Both meals came with garlic bread. We also got cannolis for dessert, and they were very good! It did take almost 20 minutes before we saw our waitress. She was a nice girl, but she didn't seem very knowledgeable about the menu, and the follow-up during our meal was limited. The service definitely needs some improvement. Overall, the Nonna's combo and cannolis were good but the chicken Parmesan could use some improvement. read more

New owners since the first of the year and the food is fantastic! Pasta perfectly cooked and nice garlic flavor, I had the pasta with red sauce and meatballs and sausage. My hubby had The Bronx Bomber pizza with ricotta cheese and sliced meatballs. The calamari was delicious and so was the Caesar salad (dressing tasted authentic). We ended with tiramisu and took home a canoli kit. Can't wait to go back! read more

We experienced exceptional customer service and delicious food perfectly prepared. Our waitress was highly knowledgeable about the menu, inquired if we were visiting for the first time, asked what we might be in the mood for then made suggestions. We took one of her suggestions and it was delicious. Our waitress followed back with us multiple times but was not intrusive. Our pizza was made with "48-hour cold fermented dough made in-house and topped with the finest sauce made from imported San Marzano tomatoes from the hills of Mount Vesuvius" (Noli Menu). We chose mozzarella, pepperoni and Mike's hot honey. We also ordered buffalo wings that were equally tasty and prepared perfectly. Great service is lacking in so many places nowadays but our waitress was outstanding. (I apologize for not remembering her name). We will definitely return to try other entrees. Highly recommend. read more

Noli's - The Don - Italian Near Me - Leonardtown, Maryland

Probably the most authentic Italian restaurant in the area, but you will definitely pay for it. Cocktails and wine selection is great, and they have perfect pairings for some of their pasta meals. It can get a bit crowded inside, but it's worth it for the food. If prices went down 10%, it would be a weekly venture for sure -- even so, it's a worthwhile treat once in a while when craving Italian. read more

We were excited to get an afternoon lunch, and decided on Noli's since we were in Leonardtown. We ordered calamari first, and could not eat it. It was mushy, but also dried out, and smelled fishy. We told them it was not good, and were told that they just changed the fry oil, they haven't found the sweet spot yet. Next the pizza, apparently they had just changed the heating, because it was mushy in the middle, watery, and I could have sworn it was luke warm at best. I've heard such great things about this place. We paid the full bill, but won't be back. Our server was very nice, though. read more

I can't say enough about our experience last week. The additional space is impressive. Great food. Great service. Great people.

My husband and I had an outstanding dinner at noli's last night. They are under new ownership and have expanded the restaurant significantly with much more customer seating. Our service was excellent and our food was outstanding! We will definitely be eating there again! We highly recommend Noli's! read more

Awesome garlic knots, super pizzas-thin crispy crust cooked perfectly give it a try!

Waited over 10 minutes until someone asked if we were waited on. Finally the bartender/waiter came to take order. Never got water! Never asked if we wanted fresh cheese on our pasta! Never got fresh bread...what italian restaurant doesn't serve fresh bread. The pasta was so drenched in sauce you couldn't find the noodles. The eggplant tasted like it was burned or freezer burnt on bottom (did not taste fresh at all and I had it before and it was good). Its a shame because we really talked this restaurant up with friends and was very disappointed. read more

We chose Noli's for our "day late" Valentine's dinner tonight and it did not disappoint. Staff was excellent, food was delicious and well portioned, we love leftovers! Two of the new owners introduced themselves and gave us a tour of the new space - Grateful Noli's will continue serving Leonardtown! read more

The best restaurant around. Here's why....we tried a little of everything and loved it all! Mixed drinks were accurately made and tasted great. Caprese were well proportioned with soft mozzarella and tomatoes. The Shrimp Milan was fantastic with large shrimp in an equally large portion. Egg plant Parmesan was thinly cut and stacked separate from the pasta and allowed for large leftover. The red sauce was thick, sweet and had a little zest. We also got a bronx bomber pizza togo for tomorrow and it was amazing with ricotta florets spread across the top. Thin crust with a crunch. Loved everything. Give it a try! read more

i went here on a trip to maryland. we went with the whole family! everyone loved it, and i thought the food was pretty good as a vegetarian. the service was really good, i remember i think the owner or manager came out and talked to us, he was very nice. the place was very clean and cozy. read more

18 went to Noli's for 80th birthday celebration on 28, December 2025,and spent a lot of money in food and drinks. The food was at best, mediocre . 10 of the 18 were dissatisfied with their meal. Those who got pizza were satisfied. Service was not a problem. Not a good place for a birthday celebration read more

Went for the first time, and unfortunately service was slow (due to our waitress having to be server & bar tender) and it was so very loud in there. I get that it's a small area but it was impossible to have any type of conversation with our small party of 3. Thankfully food was pretty good & tastey, once we received it, but we wouldn't go again simply because of the volume of noise. It's a small space and all the voices are amplified as if there were 3 times the amount of people in there. Maybe they can look at sound absorbing options so guests can actually hold a conversation without having to yell at each other. read more

The food is good, but it's pricey. It's a very tight setting. The wait can be lengthy.

We had a wonderful meal at Nolis, I'm upset we waited this long to try it. The veal and chicken parm were crunchy and delicious. We also had the tiramisu and cannoli which were also wonderful. For the cannoli I wish there were chocolate chips in the cream itself but on the ends did just fine! Service was great and food came out fast and hot. Thanks again! read more

First time at this little restaurant a bit north of Leonardtown. We got there at 5pm on a Saturday evening. We didn't have a reservation as we thought it was early enough (make one for a weekend night). We accepted bar seating and were sat and greeted promptly. The bartender was very friendly. We ordered the appetizer mini bread loaf (served warm with oil) and we shared a meat pizza. Both were very good. We ended up taking 1/2 the pizza home as well as a cannoli. Very good place for southern Maryland. Highly recommended. read more

had dinner here tonight - first time guests. One of the best chicken dishes I've ever had - the lemon butter sauce was outstanding. Generous portions, friendly and efficient service. Excellent value. Plan to return soon. read more

Me, my Fiancé, her best friend and her boyfriend went here last week, since we enjoyed the food the first time, since at the time they were going out of business. We got seated and waited 15 minutes for our server to come. She was a nice young lady and was trying her best. We placed our drink order and food order. We waited roughly 45 minutes before the first half of our order came out. Another 10 minutes waited until the 3rd item came to the table. I still had not received my order. My Fiance' got the chicken picatta and it was basically chicken and pasta in a white wine soup. It was SOOOO much liquid and watery it was almost like soup. She sent the item back to be remade. Finally my order came out and it was fine. My Fiance's best fri3nd got thr chicken marsala and said thr chicken tastes like it was bad. She sent this order back asking for it to be redone just with a change in the protein. The waitress was very apologetic and spoke to the manager, who the waitress stated was cooking. My Fiancé food came back out and it was steaming hot but looking at it, appeared it had just been heated back up and the sauce poured out. Her best friend was received her remake and upon starting to eat it, found pieces of thr chicken from her order she sent back still on the plate. She requested to speak with the manager. After 5 minutes the manager emerged and when we stated our complaints, the manager proceeded to state that just because the chicken tasted funny he wasn't going to remake the entire order again and just made the sausage and tossed it with her existing dish. He also advised he was out of the Masala sauce so he reused what she sent back and wasn't going to remake a new pot for one order. She advised she no longer wanted the dish and the MANAGER stated he wasn't taking it back. As he walked away The best friend of my fiance's boyfriend her the manager mumbled "if you dont like it why dont you come back there and make it yourself". We had eaten there once before and the food was amazing. I worked in the food industry when I was you ger both as a cook and server. I was appalled by this managers response as well as REUSING AN ORDER THAT GOT SENT BACK FOR HAVING BAD FOOD! Its in my experience that if a dish gets sent back you remake the order fresh or if out of the components you 86 it and ask the customer if they would like an alternative to the dish. How this gentleman got the role as manager is way beyond me. To top it all off, he had longer hair and was not wearing a hair net l, bandana or hat. How no one found hair in their food is beyond me. The waitress was kind l, apologetic and tried her best to improve the situation. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE while behavior like this continues. If I could rate lower I would. read more

A nice, quiet dining experience for Leonardtown. The food was good and the staff were very attentive. Will visit again.

You pay for what you get? Big prices small quantity and mediocre taste.. the spaghetti sauce was dry and clumpy maybe that's a thing. Heard great things about this place and I just expected more, It didnt live up to the hype. read more

Noli's - Tomatoe to mozzarella ratio is awful...the tomato is twice as thick which is refreshing but disappointing there's no cheese. - Italian Near Me - Leonardtown, Maryland

My wife finally convinced me to create a yelp account to boast about how good of service we had tonight at Nolis. My wife and I decided to sit at the bar and our bartender Brooke was absolutely fantastic! Excellent knowledge of the menu and suggested the chicken piccata which did not disappoint. Being from Manhattan I loved the atmosphere which brought back some great memories. Our bartender Brooke also whipped up some amazing cocktails our favorite being her dirty martini. Would definitely recommend visiting if you live locally or are just passing through. read more

Noli's had an awesome menu selection. Fresh pizza with a delicious dough. The sauce was delicious. My Mom got Bucatini with clam sauce. "To die for"! Chock full of clam meat topped with clams in the shell and a delicious garlic sauce. The Caesar salad was fresh & crispy and delicious topped with Parmesan shavings. Our pizza was so delicious. Homemade sauce and pizza dough was so good. Such a good experience. Definitely will go back. read more

Noli's - Pepperoni pizza - Italian Near Me - Leonardtown, Maryland

Great service from Patty and delicious food! This was our first visit and we came on a Saturday night. We should have made reservations, so we didn't mind waiting about 20 minutes to be seated (we had a party of 5 and could have been seated sooner if we had a 2-4 party). The restaurant has an outdoor seating area, tables inside and a bar in the back. There are about 15-20 tables, so it's a small restaurant. My son got a pizza and loved it. The 12" pizza was enough to satisfy him, share 2 pieces and have 2 pieces to take home. He said the hot honey was better than his favorite pizza! It was a New York type style. I got the chicken piccata and it was delicious. The lemony sauce was perfect and the chicken was deliciously cooked. Another dish ordered was the Nona's dish and it was huge and really good. (The stringy mozzarella on top looked irresistible.) the dishes are a bit pricey, but worth the price considering the size and quality. There is a good choice of drinks and desserts too. read more

The first time I ate here I dined in and was underwhelmed by both the service and food. I had a house salad and pasta and they were both just ok. Our server seemed to be struggling a bit that day. However, they had recently opened so I decided I'd come back at a later time. Today I ordered carryout. I ordered two caesar salads a il formaggio pizza with bacon, hot peppers, and peppers on as well as a margherita pizza. When I walked in, it was abnormally dark inside and a little loud but I was greeted quickly. The food was ready at the time they said. So no issues with a wait. The Caesar salads were delicious. The dressing was one of the best I had. My husband had the formaggio pizza and he said it was very good. I felt my pizza needed a bit more sauce and a bit less cheese but overall it had pretty decent flavor. I would go back solely for the Caesar salad, it was that good. read more
