    Amazing as always. So nice to be able to go into a restaurant with someone who can’t handle gluten and NOT worry about them being able to order something tasty. Perfection - will always consider this for amazing dinners.

    We had high hopes but the food wasn’t what we expected. The caprese was mini tomatoes and mini mozzarella balls with dried Basil. The pesto wasn’t “green” pesto but red and the gnocchi was MASSIVE - we’d never seen gnocchi that big. The crab ravioli was either burning hot or freezing cold like it was microwaved. Not worth the $90 bill

    Loved every minute. We went at a quiet Friday lunchtime and were able to ask lots of questions about the source of the sausage and olive oil etc, as well as sharing memories of our experiences in Sardinia and hearing about the owners’ life there. Needless to say, the service was great. The food was tasty and filling and really fresh, with carefully selected ingredients. This is as close to a Sardinian meal in Sardinia as you’re going to get without actually traveling there.

    We really enjoyed our first visit at Daniela. Food was exceptional and the people were very friendly. We live in the other side of town but will visit again for sure!

    The food was fair. Not good enough where we feel the need to go back. We thought it would be much better. Great ambiance and low noise level. Super cute in the front porch.

    Best Italian food in Baltimore. Try the delicious fregula or malloreddus, Sardinian specialties. Salmon also delicious
