The food was horrible. My chicken was dry and rubbery at the same time. My boyfriend's ravioli was under cooked and bland. We were excited to try a new restaurant and expected great food from the reviews. Sadly, we were extremely disappointed and willnot be returning.
Absolutely delicious homemade and authentic Sardinian food! Pastas were simply divine. Cozy indoor decor with plenty of outdoor seating available. Personable and quick service, too. Highly recommend!
Phenomenal Sardinian comfort food. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and delicious. Not like other Italian restaurants and has a very different and diverse foods
AMAZING! I never knew this gem existed until I saw someone post about their homemade gluten free pastas. We tried it tonight and it was phenomenal! We had the grilled eggplant appetizer, then we all got different pasta dishes. I had the ravioli that wasfilled with potato and it was made gluten free and it was immaculate! Everyone else who had non GF items loved theirs as well.The service was also very good, they were knowledgeable and gave us some history on Sardinia Italy which made the experiencemore authentic!
Food is very tasty and authentic (I am not an Italian but my Italian friend vouches for it). We got the lasagna with bechamel/ mushroom and flounder. The ambience is very mellow and family like. The hostess was very professional and quick . Portion sizeswere definitely small . Will visit again !

I have dined at Daniellas for the second time and once again, I was impressed. The menu offers a great variety of tasty choices. We began with the bruschetta, which had a delicious flavor and perfectly baked bread. I opted for the Involtini DiPollo with Risotto, and it was hands down the best risotto I have ever had. My wife enjoyed the veal scaloppini. For dessert, I savored the Sicilian cannolli, which had a beautifully fresh and crispy crust with a delightful mascarpone cheese and chocolate chip filling. I am eagerly looking forward to my next visit.
Located in northern Baltimore this restaurant pays attention to detail. We started with outstanding eggplant with cheese, mozzarella, a simple tomato on bruschetta and bread. I had the chicken mushroom and risotto that was amazing. The wine was an excellent Multipulcianno that was so flavorful for $36/ bottle.
We always love dining at Ristorante Daniela! It's our favorite spot for family celebrations, and last night we celebrated our daughter's birthday there. I called ahead to ask if I could bring a dairy-free dessert for my child, and Chef Daniela graciously accommodated. Our server Chris was already informed and even heated up the dessert and added candles. Thank you to the staff at Ristorante Daniela for always making us feel special!
The food was delicious with all fresh ingredients! Food rating: 4 out of 5.
I love Daniela's and it's been my anniversary go- to restaurant for years. I'm a true Italian (born and raised) and this is the only Italian restaurant I go to. I only get the original Sardinia dishes because that's not only unique but 100% authentic since Daniela is from there. Always a wonderful experience.

Food was very good, decor was uniquely good, dishes and wine reasonably appreciated. Unfortunately, the service is ready to order from a counter and bring someone with food to your table. I wouldn't say we had a server, but more like a food runner. I am not sure if I would recommend it on the basis of the service, at least I would have to warn against it if I recommend the food.
Nice menu with great choices, including many with homemade pasta. Service was just as good
Laughingly horrible. Valentines Day 7:15 reservation. Absolute chaos. Sat at only open table for 20 minutes and NO ONE from restaurant spoke to me. Couple next to us had been sitting for 40 minutes with same inattention. Man joked: “I guess it’s a contest to see who gets water first.” Patron on other side of me had been waiting 30 minutes to pay for their meal (already eaten, presumably a 4:30 reservation). Steady stream of new hopefuls given purgatory of an empty table in other corners of this tiny-table eatery. We abandoned ship, drove to Capitol Grille downtown and had our meal ordered and a drink in hand within 5 minutes. Highly inconsiderate to patrons to treat them so badly.
Wonderful meal at the family-run Italian restaurant. I love the food. Attentativ service snd Totalambiance
Service is extremely slow, like 3 hours of dinner slow. I was twice, thought the first time was a fuke- it wasn't. The servers do not come by to offer refills. The food takes inacceptably long to cook, and good luck will get your check at the end. Both times I had to fly a bus boy to ask for 45 minutes after my check. Some of the dishes are delicious, but some of them are so-so, or salted. Not worth it.
