The menu is filled with rich, bold flavors that make it a standout spot for both locals and visitors alike.

The spaghetti with clams, tossed with garlic, white wine, and a touch of chili flakes, is a perfect example of the fresh, vibrant flavors Tagliata is known for. The seafood is always fresh, and the pasta is cooked just right - al dente with a delightful chew.

Whether it's the ripe tomatoes in their salads or the hand-picked herbs used to garnish each plate, the quality is unmatched. For those who prefer lighter fare, the salads here are fantastic, featuring an assortment of greens and perfectly balanced dressings. If you're feeling adventurous, the burrata, served with roasted beets and a touch of honey, offers a unique blend of sweet and savory that’s bound to surprise your palate.

Phenomenal salads! We ordered and shared multiple appetizers every salad was great, Autumn Greens and roasted Squash were particularly tasty, Burrata was good as well. Hamachi crudo on the other side was completely off, too fishy, I wouldn't recommend it. The main dishes were all good, I got Squid ink Campanelle full portion, it is very generous, and there is a good amount of crab. All other entries were good as well. Service is good and ambiance is pleasant and cozy,, there are 2 main seating areas as well as outdoor area, which can be really nice with warm weather.

The food was outstanding, each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. You can tell that a lot of care and quality ingredients go into every plate. Whether it was the appetizers, mains, or dessert, I truly enjoyed every bite. Tagliata delivers not just a meal, but a full dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable night out.

We tried the brazole and lobster fra diavolo. Absolutely delicious! The pasta was flavorful and the braciole had theost tender short rib I've had in a long time. The service was excellent. Our server made excellent recommendations during every part of our stay. I highly recommend this restaurant!

My only concern was being unable to make a reservation for 1, but on a Thurs evening I can understand. The bar area was very busy & people were saving seats which was a bit frustrating. The cocktails and food made it all worthwhile. The bar is self seat, but this would be a great place of date night or family dinner as well.

Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. Our server, Marlo, was exceptional—attentive and personable. We started with fresh bread served with olive oil, a rich truffle butter, and 18-month aged Parmesan—absolutely delicious. The drinks were excellent, and the chicken parm was perfectly prepared. The homemade pasta was incredible. We were also treated to a complimentary appetizer and limoncello shots after dinner, which was a wonderful touch. Easily one of the best restaurants I’ve visited in Baltimore. Highly recommend!

What can you say but Magnificent. From the service to the food and relaxing atmosphere. The service was impeccable, very professional and informative on every item drinks and food. The food was top notch the pasta dishes we perfect and each one had its own flavorful taste . The swordfish was done to perfection. Very tasteful ambiance that set a nice relaxing and peaceful night. Was not loud and we were able to converse easily throughout dinner. Would highly recommend this to anyone that loves Italian food but also outside of Italian, such as steaks and some seafood.

Wow! What a fantastic restaurant! The food was absolutely the best I've ever had. The steak just melted in your mouth. It was absolutely perfect. We also had the bruschetta bread bread. It was delicious and covered with fresh peas. I'm serious, it was amazing!

A friend and I went for an early dinner. They got a steak and I got a duck pasta. Both were very good and good portions. The area we dined in music was loud and made it hard to hear each other. The
