    We have been many times and yet have never had the wild boar Bolognese. It has been on the menu since the beginning so I don’t know how we keep missing it. Anyway, it was delicious as was the grilled calamari which used to be on the regular menu, but now frequently appears as a special. The Somalia helped us pair an excellent wine with our main course and the service was friendly and prompt as always. Birroteca is one of our favorites.

    Great Italian restaurant - the best in Baltimore! I took my wife here for our anniversary. I had the Fettuccine Bolognese and my wife had the Fettuccine Toscana...both were top notch dishes and the homemade pasta makes all the difference. Service was great too. Ristorante fantastico!

    LOVED all of the gluten-free options. The culurgiones need a rose sauce; they were a little bland. Also, it was a little treacherous getting in the building. Please put up some more sturdy railings, at least. Very difficult for people with mobility/balance issues.
