Everything was great with one exception. We were sitting at the bar and were told that we had to leave by a certain time because the owner had reserved those spots. In addition, we were reminded on three occasions that they had another party coming in behind us and we had to leave by 5 PM Not happy about that.

Cassarino’s is our “go to” for delicious Italian food in Federal Hill. Our server, Sara, was top notch. We enjoyed mussels, eggplant parm, Frutti de Mare and the apple tart. Plan to valet park (complimentary) and enjoy the experience!

Excellent service . The wait staff was terrific! Food was great. A little noisy in the restaurant but we had a table in the corner that was private and enjoyable. Really nice night out.

We arrived earlier than our reservation and were lucky enough to find seats at the bar. We had the sweetest bartender, she gave us great recommendations and made incredible drinks. My husband said it was the best dirty martini he’s had in a while. Amazing food, drinks and overall vibe.

Beautiful cozy place, nicely decorated. Can't believe how busy it was on a Saturday at 2 pm! The food was great: chicken saltimbocca to die for! The portions were huge and yummy. The bar was packed, so it was a bit loud. Our wonderful server Travis was manning the bar and some tables, so his colleague Mike stepped in to help out! And Jazleen was just adorable as she backed them both up. Everyone chipped in and helped each other, and everything was timed perfectly. First time there and will be back!
