Delicious dinner spot in a lovely Italian strip. Felt like we were eating at a “mob spot” but in a fun kitschy way. Some of the main curses come with a side of pasta so we had far too many leftovers.

OLD SCHOOL IS BACK! Beautiful romantic decor and an excellent tripe dinner with the BEST homefries I’ve ever had. They’re the only place that does tripe dinners all the time. Accomidating waitstaff and Maître d’ as well.

Over the years, we have dined here at various times of the day, and it is always an amazing experience. A cut above the rest. They offer a huge variety of 5 – course meals that must be experienced by all. Generous portions and pours at this Federal Hill staple.

I had a wonderful dinner at The Old Canteen last weekend. Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived so we sat at the bar first and ordered drinks. Bar was cozy with a lot of people, so we had to wait a few minutes for barstools to be come available. Drinks were excellent and ample. Our food was lovingly prepared and excellent, and the servings were surprisingly large. Broccoli rabe was perfection. I definitely recommend the restaurant, however be prepared for a long leisurely meal and a fairly pricey meal tab if you include appetizers in your order. Valet parking available and recommended.

Restaurant was dated, but sometimes dated is good as it adds to the vibe. They did put a lot of tables in a small area. The food was good. Service was fine, but it was lacking after a large group came in that was demanding. Will go again to try more menu items.

Absolutely fantastic experience. There is nothing better than a traditional Italian meal in a truly fabulous restaurant like the Old Canteen. Founded in 1956, it’s a step back in time when a leisurely meal was a staple.

An Italian fine dining resturant at a regular restaurant prices. The 5 course meals are well worth the value. They have traditional old school Italian entries you won’t find any where else.
