Lew Gambino's - Baltimore

Fantastic food and great choices for adult drinks! We'll be back soon!

I'll say that almost everything was perfect. I loved my Caesar and Linguine with mussels. But what was strange was my wife's chicken parm both excellent and poor. The chicken stall? Phenomena. The chicken was crispy and not strongly baked, with a good amount of cheese and sauce. But the side of the pasta almost tasted like chlorine in it. So she held it by the side because the chicken was a lot big. We also have a cheesecake slice to finish the night. We loved it. Apparently, the cheesecake and the cherry sauce were homemade. So homemade that a cherry had another pit in it. I wasn't really important to myself, but I didn't want anyone to accidentally broke a tooth, so I needed to let the kitchen know. They seemed completely in agreement.

The other night on our trip. We've been here for years, but we haven't been there in a while and noticed that it had a new name. Original owners now have a partner, so they simply change the name. My wife stuck with what she knew she would (Chicken Marsala) and was not disappointed. I tried the cod special, which was really good. Service was good and prices are not bad. Well rewarding; glad we stopped again!

The restaurant is in a great location, with a menu full of delicious items and plenty of options for people with food allergies. Even with limited parking, it was very easy to find a spot. I will definitely be returning.

Though the ambiance was amazing, the food lacked the taste of authenticity I expected. Out of my party of 2 sent their food back completely and the others, including myself, decided to try and doctor it up with salt and pepper. It didnt help at all. The food was extremely bland. I was very disappointed because the media exposure this restaurant has been given and ambiance deserve 4-5 star cuisine.
