    The experience at Daniela was incredible!! The service was exceptional and the food (especially the gluten-free options) were out of this world. Can’t wait to come back and eat everything on the menu!

    Best lasagna in Baltimore and possibly best tomato soup in USA, worth ordering even on a hot day!

    The gnocchi was the worst I have ever had. Tasted like a mushy meatball. Would not recommend

    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.

    A nice family restaurant that has gotten a bit off track. The potato gnocchi were floppy pads of potatoes. The seafood pasta looked like ketchup and wasn’t much better. The fruit tart was hard as a rock.

    Everything was incredible. I haven’t tasted gluten free Italian food that good in a long time. I will be back to work my way through the menu. The gluten free dessert options were also amazing.
