I like the restaurant. The food is always good. Several of the servers are great. Kim and Abner are particularly good. The only thing I don’t like is that you have to take the sides they choose whether you like them or not.

Excellent service, the best in the Baltimore area, and very flavorful food. The margaritas are perfection - made from quality ingredients and strike the perfect balance between sweet and savory. Loved the carne asada tacos, they were chef’s kiss. The ambiance was upscale but relaxing. Quiet enough to hold a conversation and continue the conversation once the band started playing. We will definitely be back!

My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary and the Tagliata staff were so celebratory by writing us a personalized card and bringing out complimentary Prosecco. The service was outstanding—genuinely one of the best experiences we’ve had at a restaurant. The food was delicious and some of the best, most authentic Italian we’ve tasted.

Great atmosphere, cool repurposed rustic architecture. One warning, you may need a flashlight for the menu as the font was difficult to read with the lighting. Food was very good, only issue was the menu could have been more descriptive. Overall, everyone in our group enjoyed the meal and service.
