Sabatino's Italian Restaurant

A true staple of Baltimore's Little Italy, Sabatino's has been around for as long as you can remember. It's the kind of place everyone has heard of and tried and -- judging by returning guests -- if you try it once you'll most likely decide to make it a major part of your Baltimore dining experience. <br> "Sab's, " as it's fondly nicknamed by locals and employees, is a comfortable place where the whole family can enjoy an Italian-style experience; it's also a haven for those craving a late-night snack or fine, full course meal.

Sab's is a little Italy and Baltimore staple. I have not ever run into anyone who has not been to or did not like it there. The atmosphere is fairly old-fashioned and the somewhat cramped. If you do not like being close to people, do not go there! Get past this though, and it is quite an enjoyable experience. The waitresses are mostly older women who have been there for a long time.
