Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Fells Point

I highly, highly recommend giving Oleum a visit! Had a wonderful time and greatly enjoyed their pizza (we ordered the 1/2 Gabriel and 1/2 Toum Raider pizza), their pasta (we ordered the miso mushroom bucatini), their matcha latte, and their tiramisu. All their food is unbelievably vegan and DELICIOUS. The tiramisu + lattes will absolutely blow your mind away. My only feedback is I thought the sauce that went over the ravioli appetizer was slightly too acidic for my tastes, but the filling was delightful. Oleum is a very intimate dining experience and I definitely recommend visiting during earlier hours to avoid crowds. Service was great and I cannot wait to visit again. I hope that Oleum can stay in Baltimore for a long time.

We did happy hour at the bar. Very well priced and my cocktail was delicious, not at all watered down like in other happy hours. It was also very quiet which was nice. The bartender Darwin is the best! He is very attentive, very friendly and mixes great drinks!

This was my first experience at Carmine’s and it was amazing!!

From start to finish, our dinner at Tagliata was exceptional. We began with the charcuterie board, letting our server surprise us with the meat selection, and they did not disappoint. The prosciutto was especially good—not too salty or fatty/stringy—while the darker cured meat was equally delicious. The Fontina and Pecorino paired beautifully with everything. For our second course, my boyfriend had the Caesar salad, which featured fresh anchovies in the dressing, adding a great depth of flavor. I had the Brussels sprout salad, which was fresh, well-balanced, and a great choice before the main course. For entrées, I ordered the Australian Wagyu steak special with bone marrow sauce. It was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and complemented by roasted veggies and mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had the rigatoni alla vodka, which he said was seasoned perfectly. To top it all off, we shared the tiramisu, and it was hands-down the best I’ve ever had—light, creamy, and full of rich espresso flavor. I didn’t get their names, but the service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the ambiance made for a perfect dining experience. Highly recommend
