  I went there on my anniversary. The host was very friendly. My server was great but since I was in a restaurant business for ages, I could tell how he worked. He had lots of experiences but he was just a good server who brings and takes away dish. I have noticed quite a few times that he was distracted by other tables while we were talking to him. Possibly he forgot out dessert to put it in so he brought out two scoops instead of one scoop we ordered because we waited about 10 mins for that ice cream. The food I ordered was something about fish but it wasn't my flavor but garnishment was great. His wine recommendation was good. Do I go back or not? Probably I won't because the portion of the food wasn't enough and it's a bit expensive.

  Hope was the best server and Nicole did an amazing job choosing our wine. Took us out of our comfort zone and we LOVED IT! The meal was outstanding and atmosphere was easy, warm, classic but with a touch of style. If you want a place that has been in Baltimore for many, many years and survived… because they are that good come here! They made our anniversary feel more than we could have imagined.

  Christmas Eve dinner was reserved long ago and glad I did because the place was packed and for good reasons: their food is absolutely wonderful, and every time I visit I always leave satisfied. So why the 2 stars? First off they had one server for a fairly large section of the restaurant - I counted at least 9 tables she served with about 30 - 36 people during the time I was there. The server didn't show up for almost 10 minutes after initial seating. Not her fault but annoying. Food was of course the best part of this place, but I was seated right by the entrance. Inside was a warm 70 or so, but outside was a refreshing 12 degrees. Even with dual doors there were, let's say well mannered but completely oblivious gentlemen, who held the doors open on both ends while many, many people came in and out of the place. As everyone knows temperature variation causes airflow (wind), and large variation causes major airflow - a blast of 12 degree wind that rushes into the restaurant every time the door was held open. The cold air rushed in so often I was shivering for half of the meal, and what's really interesting is that my piping hot squid ink spaghetti became ice cold after only 5 minutes on the table, but somewhat still edible. Not wanting to waste a nice Christmas Eve dinner I ordered a hot coffee along with dessert, both were very good. The hot coffee helped but once again it chilled to iced coffee fairly quickly. Overall I'd recommend the restaurant for its excellent food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. I do not recommend sitting anywhere near the front door.

  We had an amazing time at Cinghiale during restaurant week. It is important to note that while the restaurant has a series of fresh pastas, it is way more than pasta. Cinghiale makes you familiar with a culinary tradition that includes home-style foods in a more elevated version. The space is open and bright and the service very good. Don't forget to try the focaccia and to explore parts of the vast wine menu. I have intentionally done a lot of Italian fine dining and Cinghiale has a special place in my heart.

  Belated New Year's Eve dinner review. The NY strip, mushroom tagliatelle, and banana Panna Cotta were my favorites of the evening. Really beautiful and romantic ambiance. Was not aware the surge in price for NYE as it was not on the website.
