Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Sabatino's in Baltimore's Little Italy is a beloved Italian staple known for its "excellent food and service." Guests rave about the "Bookmaker salad" and classic Italian dishes like veal parm and eggplant parm. While the decor could use an update, the "historic and cozy" atmosphere and welcoming staff make for a memorable dining experience.

    Best marinara my family ever had and we have been to Italy twice. Air conditioner could have worked better. It was warm for 90 degree day. Indoor temp was high 70s.

    Food and service is always excellent! The restaurant is always clean and has a nice ambiance. I always feel "if the walls could talk!" Lots of stories could be told over many generations of families who have gone here. I highly recommend!

    I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Italian food. The vodka sauce and spaghetti sauce were both delicious. The bookmaker salad was a meal in itself. MANGIA!!!!

    We visited on a holiday weekend after being at Johns Hopkins Hospital all day. We were tired and hungry. The place was pretty empty but the staff was enthusiastic for us to be there. The restaurant could use a refresh - very dated and worn inside. The food is good and nothing fancy -just good Italian. The garlic bread is to die for and the eggplant parm is exactly what we like in this dish-thin layers of eggplant fried crisp with a fresh tomato sauce. The service was excellent. Linda welcomed us and made us feel at home. Thank you Sabatino’s!

    Our mussels appetizer was very poor in quality. Salad was fine, but both of our entrees were tasteless My ravioli was obviously previously frozen. Individual ravioli were stuck together. Sauce may have been Ragu! Penne with shrimp was overdone. The sauce was the same as the sauce on the muscles -tasteless. Our waitress Diane, on the other hand was the only highlight of the evening

    We had a wonderful dinner. The Italian sausage and peppers appetizer was excellent. Also the garlic bread with olive oil and cheese was very good. Highly recommend.
