LITTLE ITALY. Baltimore's Little Italy is lined with fabulous dining opportunities, but this one is continually heralded as the best of the best. The elegant, candlelit decor makes it a prime setting for romantic evenings, though you are just as likely to see business meetings and casual get-togethers occurring here. Every one loves the impeccable service, the beautiful presentation, and of course, the food. Sit next to the lovely marble fireplace and feast on one of numerous fresh pastas, a tender steak Florentine, and mouthwatering veal scaloppini. The daily specials take advantage of the bounty of each season.

LITTLE ITALY. A narrow two-story foyer, flanked with Italianate arches and elegant white columns, adjoins this attractive dining room. The menu emphasizes healthy, flavorful preparation techniques and fresh, seasonal ingredients. Start off with the shrimp St. Andrea with lobster saffron mashed potatoes and tomato garlic butter, and then select a lovely plate of steak, pasta, fish or veal for your main course. Excellent wine list.

This Little Italy kitchen serves up lovely Italian cuisine and delights guests with an impressive wine list and hip cocktails. The antipasto originale, an appetizer platter of olives, cheeses and prosciotto, will whet your appetite for a scrumptious meat or pasta dish. Splurge for the New Zealand lobster tail, simmered in spicy tomato sauce and served over angel hair pasta.

MT VERNON. For a memorable meal and contemporary atmosphere, this elegant Italian restaurant is a must. Flickering candles and minimalist decor create a uniquely romantic environment, and the terrific menu never fails to disappoint. Sample unique creations such as veal in tuna and anchovy sauce, thin pappardelle pasta with wild boar, or homemade duck ravioli with truffle oil. Amazing desserts include classic tiramisu and a rich vanilla crème brûlée. An extraordinary wine list and perfect service make an evening at Sotto Sopro an extravagant treat. Reservations recommended.

LITTLE ITALY. Most Little Italy restaurants have been around for years, so this one is a relative newcomer, but it has perfected its menu of modern Italian favorites and has earned praise for its simple, contemporary decor. Pastas and seafood are the specialties of the house, and patrons should make sure they sample both during a meal here. Try the heaping, homemade pasta topped with a unique sauce made with raisins, pine nuts, and spinach, combined in nutmeg-infused cream sauce. The crab-stuffed ravioli, fresh grilled salmon, and veal scallopini all get rave reviews, as does the flawless service.

LITTLE ITALY. Little Italy is full of excellent, authentic dining options, but this one has carved out a niche for its friendly hospitality and its simple but flavorful cuisine. Ample portions of pastas, meats and seafood are generously ladled with the excellent, robust tomato sauce and plenty of melting cheese. Sample ziti la rosa, full of tasty sautéed shrimp, or the sweet, hearty sausage Marsala. The restaurant has several small dining rooms divided by hallways, giving an intimate feel to the space. If you have any room left after all that feasting – most don't – the cannoli is a worthwhile indulgence.

LITTLE ITALY. This glitzy Little Italy outpost steps up the elegance without sacrificing authentic charm. Perfect for romantic occasions or impressive business meals, this candlelit favorite has been pleasing patrons for more than 20 years. The pastas are hearty and innovative, with options like lobster tertrazzinia and seafood-stuffed tortellini, but it's the massive veal chop that makes patrons gasp when it's delivered to the table. It's as flavorful as it is massive. NB They also offer complimentary limo to and from the restaurant.

MT VERNON. What's not to like about this charming corner dining room? Mustard walls, large windows, dark wood floors and a stunning bar adorn the interior, and the kitchen delivers artfully presented plates of pasta, veal, fish and more. Start off with shrimp bruschetta, then for your main course try the duck ravioli or veal tenderloin with a bottle of imported wine.
