(Restaurants - Italian)
248 Albemarle St, Baltimore  21202 • 410-685-1859
Description: LITTLE ITALY. Most Little Italy restaurants have been around for years, so this one is a relative newcomer, but it has perfected its menu of modern Italian favorites and has earned praise for its simple, contemporary decor. Pastas and seafood are the specialties of the house, and patrons should make sure they sample both during a meal here. Try the heaping, homemade pasta topped with a unique sauce made with raisins, pine nuts, and spinach, combined in nutmeg-infused cream sauce. The crab-stuffed ravioli, fresh grilled salmon, and veal scallopini all get rave reviews, as does the flawless service.

Enjoyed a delightful meal and excellent service. We started with the Antipasto Italian, a delightful combination of meats and cheeses (sweet buffalo mozzarella and a smooth, tasty romano) and calamari fritti (fritti perfectly). I had the Linguine allo Scoglio (Shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams tossed with linguini in a spicy tomato sauce) and my wife had the Rosette di Vitello Alla Parmigiana (thinly sliced veal topped with eggplant and mozzarella cheese in a tomato sauce), both the best we have ever tasted. We topped the evening off with a capuccino and Tiramisu. The Tiramisu was perfect and still mouthwatering the next morning. My wife, who always adds two scoops of sugar to her capuccino almost asked them to take it back because her habit of adding sugar actually hurt the flavor. Yes, the value is only "average" because the overall price for everything was about equal to other great Italian restaurants I know and visit frequently. I will definitely stop in again the next time I am in Baltimore.
