The Open View

For two star Italian, try Sabatino's in Baltimore. This mildly expensive restaurant is located in the Little Italy neighborhood. The menu is full of old favorites— ravioli and full of old favorites- ravioli. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a family atmosphere. This restaurant features private rooms, a full bar, and valet parking. This restaurant is open late and good for groups. People who have eaten here found the food solid and amazing.

Expert Reviews of Sabatinos Italian Restaurant

Citysearch | This late-night restaurant still feels like the little Italian place on the corner.

The mirrors that ring the comfortable dining rooms reflect soft lighting across cloth-covered tables. Although Sabatino's is large, the space is divided into several small rooms for an intimate feeling. Soft...

User Reviews of Sabatinos Italian Restaurant

Family Tradition

My daughter currently lives in NYC, but, whenever she comes to town, we make a bee-line from Penn Station to Sabatino's. It is everything that everyone says (even in an occasional bad review), but, that is part of its charm. Unpretentious, but, still fun and delicious. We always have a good time.

A Star Has Fallen

I went to Sab's a couple of nights ago. It had been about 23 years since I had eaten there. I remembered how wonderful the Bookmaker salad was and how I had to scrape up just enough money to afford that and a...

Who's doing the rating?

Their house salad dressing, garlic bread and the bookmaker salad, are the only items I would eat at this restaurant. The rest doesn't even compare to "good" italian food!
