Dalesio's Of Little Italy Restaurant

WOW, WOW, WOW! You would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't try this place. The food is scrumptious and so delicious! Even something as simple as the garlic bread was so flavorful. The waiter was so friendly and attentive. It's a wonderful place if you're craving some good Italian food.

Stopped in on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Bad weather with a morning marathon meant that I was the only one there. I had been looking for a chicken parmesan for quite some time (which is a whole different story), and so I stopped by after making a quick reservation. I was only in town for a conference, and I made this my 'last meal' before I began my drive back home. I ordered some garlic bread, the chicken parmesan, and a lava cake. All three were some of the best I ever had. I'm not exactly a food critic or gourmand (yet), but this place was genuinely impressive on just about every level that I can think of: the aesthetic, the number of tables per room, the food quality, the background music, and top-notch servers that pay close attention. Maybe this is par for the course at fancier restaurants, but of the servers I've had so far in my life, David J. was probably the best one I've had. I was already fairly impressed with my dining experience once I had finished my chicken parmesan (and before I had even contemplated dessert), but I didn't expect a literal tray of desserts to act as the dessert menu. It might seem like an insignificant thing (and one where you're not sure how much each actually costs), but it was the first one I had ever seen. Restaurants often don't even bother with this kind of display, even when their dessert menus are equally lacking in showing customers exactly what it is they're ordering. Sure, a cheesecake is probably still a cheesecake at two different restaurants, but actually being able to see it up close while the server explains what it comes with (and offer recommendations)? More should adopt this practice. This is the best restaurant I've ever been to, and it's a place I wholeheartedly recommend.

Excellent food. Really attentive servers. Great ambience. I had the special of the day, grouper franchise with a side of broccoli, and garlic bread. Glas of wine on the side (wine list is conservative, but decent). Finished off while a slice of Limoncello cake and an espresso. Will be back next time I'm in town.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was well prepared, the service was top notch, and the restaurant is beautiful. The parking was directly accross the street, which made it very easy for our large group of guests. I could not have picked a better place to have our Holiday Party. Thank you Paul for an amazing evening!

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!
