    The famous espresso martini
    Corinne B.

    Sisu is a must visit spot in Baltimore. In the charming neighborhood of little Italy, this mom and pop wine shop is everything but that. Kate creates probably the best cheese plate I've ever had. She visits the local farmers markets to source her ingredients and the way she pairs certain cheeses with jellies/fruits/mustards is impeccable. The meat plate too. You can't go wrong. Chris, makes a killer gin and tonic and is always a joy to chat with. Both Chris and Kate know what an espresso martini should taste like... dare I say one of the best, if not the best in the city. Sisu is extremely welcoming, both Chris & Kate (the owners) will help you navigate their extensive wine menu either to enjoy in or to-go. I could not recommend Sisu enough, love this place!

    Such a quaint wine and cocktail bar with a lively atmosphere. I met a friend over the weekend and it was packed with customers coming and going. It's a converted row home so it's narrow and long with a good sized bar up front and some tables in the back. Staff were busy but friendly. I enjoyed they served us a bowl of popcorn to enjoy with the wine and beer we ordered. Cool spot in Little Italy.

    We stopped into Sisu while looking for a spot to grab a drink and snack before we headed to a movie. We saw Sisu's front and immediately popped in. The bar had a few people inside who seemed to be regulars, which was really nice to see! The inside has such cute vibes, I loved the sea foam green wall behind the bar and all the art on the walls. The service was great, as well. We tried the mystery charcuterie plate where they choose a tinned fish, a cheese, and some other treats to go with bread. We were super happy with it, we had fun eating something new. We will absolutely be back for a wine and app!

    Sisu Bar and Bottles is such a cute, new, neighborhood wine bar. Located in Little Italy, it was the perfect way to end my night after having dinner in Little Italy. The espresso martinis were foamy yet delicious and the white wine was crisp and refreshing. The chocolate pieces on top of the espresso martinis were a sweet touch. We were able to get a table in the back and the service was quick, welcoming, and memorable. The owner was hilarious!! He truly made us feel like we had known him for years. If you want to take a bottle of wine home from the wine wall, it is half off. Overall, the prices for the drinks were fair. I can't wait to make Sisu Bar and Bottles my new favorite wine bar.

    The newest wine bar to open in little Italy, this is a bar that feels like something you would find in a bigger city. From the most stunning aesthetics and the most beautiful wall of glassware, the owners Chris and Kate are the best humans. After moving from Philadelphia, the couple now live in little Italy and have created something super super special. It's a wine bar with bottles to go, but they also serve up the best cheese and meats. This could've been done so average but that's not their style. They do everything so well. Even cocktails - the strawberry Negroni was stupid delicious with macerated strawberries that had been soaked in Campari! They've been open for seven weeks and it's already an industry and neighborhood favorite. The menu is hyper rotational so don't expect to see anything twice. Be sure to get to know the couple and prepare the most unexpected amazing service. They know the story about all the wines they carry. They also do half pours of wines which is really special. The wine here is a natural to highlight the farming and the land the wine comes from. We are so glad to have this spot in Balitmore.

    Sisu is the newest addition to Little Italy. The place is super charming and eclectic with a killer wine selection. They have cocktails too although I've yet to try any. My favorite thing though is the complimentary popcorn - such a cute touch. On a recent visit, my friend ordered charcuterie for the table and it was really lovely! They sliced the jamon right there and provided some yummy cornichons, jam, and other fixings. I'm sure I'll return very soon!

    I've been to Sisu twice now and have loved it both times! The space itself is really welcoming. It feels homey but elevated as well. The owners are always behind the bar and are incredibly friendly and ready to help and provide any advice. This is a great spot for a pre or post dinner drink or even a late night bite. They have a great selection of wine, especially if you're a fan of natural wines, and I loved trying out the meat, cheese, fish plate! I will definitely be returning in the future and taking all my friends here!

    What a cute wine/cocktail bar in Little Italy! It's so chill and laid back but the drinks are top notch and elegant! I loved the strawberry gin and tonic- it felt like Spain with being given different options for tonics and gins. The popcorn as a little munchie is such a sweet little touch. It was packed on a Saturday evening, perfect for a pre or post dinner drink or even a nightcap!

    Friday night and this place is hopping. We ate dinner in little Italy walked around and found this place. Craft made cocktails, they had tequila, and a non alcoholic nomona, so i ordered a paloma, my sisters ordered a Tommy Margarita and a pomegranate ginger fizz. Kate and Chris took great care of us! They just opened 9 weeks ago, hive them a try, you wont be disappointed!

We had a party of 7 and we pretty much had our pick of where to sit. The waitress was talking really fast and low and we kept having to ask her to repeat herself. She never slowed down OR spoke louder. Once she had our drink orders, they didn't take long to come out. I ordered the "AKA" it was tequila based and was pretty good. Everyone was pretty happy with their drinks. This is when the night turned. 4 of the 7 of us wanted to leave and head elsewhere, the waitress made ALL 7 of us pay even though the others wanted to stay and order more. She would not budge on this and seemed pretty nonchalant about it. .. all in all. Glad we found it but won't be back.

The service was courteous, attentive, extremely professional & our server was very astute concerning every aspect of our dining experience, from assisting us with menu choices to making sure we had appropriate take out containers for our leftovers. Our server was prepared for any & all questions & concerns we voiced. The food was delightful. Every dish we tried was absolutely bursting with flavor. The whole fried fish I ordered was cooked perfectly. It was crunchy on the outside with tender, flaky flesh on the inside. The spices that encapsulated the fish enhanced the overall flavor of the dish. It was some of the best fish I have had the pleasure of eating. My husband had the crab cakes & he stated that they were full of actual crab meat & not filler. I was very impressed that the restaurant offered a free calamari appetizer if you sign up for emails. The calamari was also very light & tasted great. We ordered the Parmesan Truffle fries as an appetizer also & they were crunchy and cooked perfectly & also very flavorful. We ended our meal sharing a Mexican coffee. It was yummy & the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Finally, the view, decor & ambiance of the restaurant were all breathtaking. The restaurant is situated at a quiet part of the Inner Harbor. So we were able to enjoy our meal with a beautiful view of the harbor away from the usual hustle & bustle of the harbor. Rusty Scupper is definitely a restaurant I recommend trying if you are in Baltimore. You definitely will not be disappointed.

We order the turkey club, hush puppies, cream of crab soup, the charcuterie board, fries, and fried oysters to share. The turkey club was the star of the show. It had nice layers of avocado, the chicken was cooked well, and the bacon added a nice touch. For drinks we stuck to the margaritas and they were perfect! I would say you can skip the fries, the seasoning was great the batch of fries we had seemed like they might not have been fresh. The rest of the menu was so good I would still say you could skip the fries and order a double serving of hush puppies.

    Although the food and waitstaff were excellent, the overall experience was disappointing…read more We arrived early for our reservation and were promptly seated at the worst table in the restaurant: the only table with no view, the waitstaff work area directly behind the table, and constant foot traffic behind us as well. We immediately asked the hostess for a different table. She told as that the three booths and the six other two-tops were all reserved. She left us with no attempt at an apology and promptly put reserved signs on all the open tables. When we left an hour later, one booth and 4 two-tops had never been used. Much to our dismay, we saw people seated outside even though we had received a text before arriving saying the patio was closed for the evening. To add insult to injury, even half empty, the noise level was so uncomfortable since everything was tile, marble, or wood that the alarm sensor on my smart watch sounded because of the decibel level. We will not be back.
