Business Summary what's this?
For four star Italian, try Vaccaro's in Baltimore. This is a great place. Try this spot for cheap eats in the Little Italy neighborhood. It's known for its dessert. This place features outdoor dining. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic atmosphere. This restaurant features private rooms. This place is good for groups.
Sparkling glass cases filled with tempting pastries, cheesecakes and cookies line the front of this corner shop which also has windows to spare. Every other inch is filled with small tables, which seat the...

Totally skating on past reputation. The cannoli I had was overly sweet with a gritty texture. Unexceptable...and my cappuccino came topped w/ whipped cream??? Anyway, I tried Sabatino's Restaurant…

Not great. The cannolis and cookies are okay. However, even if you order a couple of big boxes of mixed pastries as we did, don't make the mistake of thinking you can sit down and sip the drink you…

Dear chewy, nutty and sweet Pignoli: I want you. Not in an innocent food crush kind of way. In a gooey, warm, nibble-first-then-devour-you kind of way. For a fleeting moment, all my troubles dissolve…

I've gone to Vaccaros for years; the food is great, but recently the service has been repeatedly bad at both the Little Italy location in Baltimore and at the Union station location in DC. I was at the Little Italy location this weekend, and saw several groups of people waiting in line to order take-out; even though there were more than six workers behind the counter, only one worker was waiting on customers. When I finally got to order, the worker started to take my order, then stopped to talk with her co-(non)-workers behind counter for about five minutes, then went off to do something else completely unrelated totally blowing-off all the customers. The line of customers were looking around at each other in disbelief that there was such a lack of concern for customer service. When the worker didn't return after another five minutes, I walked out. The customer service here is horrible. They have way too many people standing around doing nothing but chatting to each other. These are mostly young teenagers with no adult supervision. Vaccaros could operate more efficiently and provide much better customers service if they got rid of this mass of careless and disrespectful teenagers and replaced them with a couple of responsible adults. Sadly, the quality of the food and the quality of the service are at opposite extremes.
