    A charming old school Italian restaurant in Little Italy. The neighborhood and the restaurant take you back to an earlier time. The food is outstanding traditional Italian. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations. We had a lovely evening!

    Has not dined at Sabatino’s in many years and sold the restaurant to my guests as such a great spot. We were all very disappointed. We had to send back the salad because lettuce was slimy and then the pasta was undercooked. Previously the portions were large and this time they were small - was unable to share a pasta dish. Then add the waitress was unpleasant boardering on rude and inattentive. Needless to say this will no longer be a place we go in Little Italy.

    Table bread was bland, “award winning” garlic bread was nothing like it used to be, pasta was drowned in sauce that also had little flavor, service was inattentive and slow.

    I had the usual house salad with house dressing, which is very good. Had the usual garlic bread which definitely tasted different. I did not like it very much. A lot of people at the table had shrimp fra Diavlo, which we all love and it was very good. I’ve never liked the white Italian bread they put on the table. The service wasn’t that great. I think our waitress had too many tables. It was a very nice night. We will eat here again.

    If I could give less then 1 star I would! I came to have a nice dinner with my friends while visiting from out of town. Service was Meh, and food was average. The worst part was not once but twice , cockroaches were at our table. Which we killed and placed in A napkin. The table next to us noticed our reaction to the bugs, and did nothing. Just continued eating !!!!! We could wait to get out of there!

    FABULOUS!!!! If we lived near by we would be regulars. First accommodated a party of 16 with same day reservation. We were in a room to ourselves, traveling with Navy Veterans/Vietnam. We had a variety of different entree’s. Everything was incredible. Our waiter, Eric was the best, the young woman who waited on the far end of the table was excellent as well. Best meal of our visit. Loved the area too.

    Going down memory lane for lunch before the Orioles game. Husband hasn't been in a long time, so it was nice to see picture of his Aunt Mary who worked there for so many years. The food was great. Sampler was perfect for trying a little of everything. Husband's Gnocchi were soft and there was plenty to share. Alex our server was attentive and nice. A great time was had.

    Very disappointing. Have not been here in many years. The food quality is very poor. This place used to be great but we learned it was sold recently and not the same as it used to be. Meal was brought out in five minutes after ordering meaning it was heated up.
