    Everything was absolutely wonderful. We were looking forward to the escargot, but apparently since Covid, it has been taken off the menu. Truly, an authentic Italian restaurant. Our waitress, Kitty was absolutely fantastic. I recommend that you request her if possible.

    What a fantastic time! It had been YEARS since we had visited Sabatino's and chose it for a 75th birthday dinner with some surprise guests flown in. I had called the restaurant a few days prior to our reservation as I wanted to make certain they were aware I had flown my grandchildren in to surprise their Pop-Pop so they would be arriving earlier than the reservation and I hoped they could be seated and not standing in the lobby. She was very accommodating and assured me they would be seated and ready. Our server was an absolute hoot - so friendly, so quick to point out how best to order and regulate the arrival of our various dishes and truly became part of the great experience we had at Sabatino's! LOVED HER!! We started with the famous Bookmaker Salad - still a great starter after all these years (And yes, we did purchase take home containers of their famous salad dressing!); fried calamari, short rib ravioli, garlic bread and mussels rounded out the appetizers. Every dish was really good! On to entrees of chicken lynn, baked gnocchi, tortellini and shrimp fre diavalo - every dish well seasoned, presented beautifully and more food than we could possibly finish. Side note: my grandson had debated between the shrimp renato and the shrimp fre diavalo - the server claimed the shrimp are diavalo was her favorite and he would now agree! A complimentary slice of cake and ice cream and a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday sung by our server, fellow guests and staff made this special birthday celebration even more special! Highly recommend a visit back to one of the tried and true Baltimore restaurants - your tastebuds will thank you!

    I had a great time. I shared the fried short rib ravioli, caprese salad, and lasagna with my girlfriend. The restaurant split the lasagna into 2 plates. We were not expecting that. That is attention to detail that not every restaurant has these days. We will be returning to explore more of the menu in the future.
