Northeast Baltimore Restaurants

I had a wonderful experience at The Barn and Lodge! The food, service and ambiance were outstanding!! We were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The only downside was that the fireplace made it too hot in the room. The manager did have the windows open, but it was very cold and windy outside. I and my guests had to navigate between being too hot and too cold. At one point, I had to put my coat around my shoulders and the men had to put their hats on. The manager did adjust the windows, but we never found a happy medium. The manager gave my husband a birthday card from the restaurant and corporate. That was a lovely gesture. I would definitely go back again!!

Service (Grita) was impeccable. Atmosphere was upbeat but very noisy. Food was excellent, especially if you like pasta.

Three friends treated a fourth friend for a special birthday lunch after spending a couple of hours viewing the Jerrell Gibbs Exhibit. We all thoroughly enjoy the meal! It's a beautiful setting, with attentive service, serving delicious food.

The entire dining experience was superb. We had the kale caesar salad, meatballs, fungi pizza, and olive oil cake. The kale particularly held up well to the dressing. The meatballs were so tender and the sauce was perfect for dipping the sourdough. The mushrooms on the pizza were an interesting mix and the crust of the pizza was chewy and light. One of the best I have had. We paired it with their ranch dressing which I need to have on a salad. Lastly, the olive cake is good but the orange compote was what made the cake. I need it in toast, a biscuit, and scone. I had the spritz which was excellent and very citrus forward and my friend had a mocktail. The staff pay extra attention to detail and to important events in your life. They were incredibly sweet and kind to me and recognizing an important event in my life. I cannot wait to go back and try other things on the menu. The folks next to us got the steak and it looked amazing. ❤️

My first time and Rocco’s and it was exceptionally wonderful. The ambience was perfect not bright and tables comfortably spaced out. Our waiter was very professional and attentive to our needs. We started out with the Octopus appetizer and it was fantastic. Very meaty and tender. I had the Bronzino fish, with spinach and roasted potato slices, it was outstanding. My wife had the veal marsala. The veal was thin and tender. The marsala sauce was perfect. We had a perfect bottle of Italian Red wine Masi Nectar Campofiorin and it was light, smooth, not too dry, and full of flavor. We will be back next time we visit the area. A must for all foodie’s.
