Baltimore may be one of the best cities for Italian cuisine. With their own Little Italy neighborhood, the district has been home to award-winning restaurants featuring quality ingredients and impeccable service. Whether you're in the mood for fine dining fare or a delicious slice of pizza, these Baltimore joints will have you covered.

If you're looking for something authentic, look no further than La Tavola. As a Venice native, Chef Carlo Vignotto knows a thing or two about traditional Italian cooking, and his expertise makes for an exciting dining experience. For the main course, we recommend the Fettucini alla Romana, a hearty fettucini dish featuring prosciutto, Shiitake mushrooms, and sweet peas suspended in a homemade cream sauce. Make sure to leave room for dessert -- a slice of tiramisu cake for two (or one!) is the perfect send-off to a lovely meal. Take a look at their dinner menu, or scan their extensive wine list for a bottle to share.
