Carlo's Italian Bistro - Cockeysville

We arrived on Saturday evening and were quickly seated, we ordered a bottle of banfi chianti , very good wine for the evening, we had the antipasti for the qpp and it was delicious, we then received our salads which had the house dressing also delicious. and for the entrée I had the pasta fresca, very good, and my wife had the mahi mahi fish special, also very good. so we had to try the cappacino another good choice very good along with a cannoli , one of the best we had, t[it was freshly filled and the shell was crunchy, not a lot of places serve the cannoli properly, they fill it to early and the shell becomes soggy, not here its done right. highly recommend this place for good quality Italian food. the server we had was spot on and did a great job.

Everything about our experience was great except for one thing. We made reservations for 2 and on arrival had to wait for 30 minutes for our table while walk-ins were seated ahead of us. We were not the only ones either. Our server Bella was fantastic even though they were short serving staff that night. Food was excellent.

One of our favorite casual dining spots. Our server, Deborah, was outstanding!!

Excellent food, veal you can cut with your fork, linguini with clams is fantastic enough for two. We love this place.

Overall the food was poor to mediocre. Don’t waste your calories on the garlic bread as it takes like garlic powder and to much tasteless cheese. My friends had the chicken Marsala and both said it hardly had any Marsala flavor. The house salad had way to much bottled dressing and the Cesar didn’t taste like Cesar, more like mayo. Over all it was not worth the money spend. Good luck, there are so many choices in Timonium cockesville area you need to do better Carlos
