I haven't done the sit-down yet, but I have done takeout twice. The takeout was "okay". Perhaps it's better with the proper ambiance.

We'll be going back...missus loves Italian and Noli's is closer than her favorite...Olive Garden. LOL. We'll be trying other menu items....see if our opinion holds up.

Noli’s is great…….real Italian……fresh prepared. Homemade sauces, homemade pizza dough. Italian owner and chef.

We went once and were not impressed, at all.

I'm not sure the ethnicity of the owner or chef matter. Plenty of crap chinese restaurants around here with chinese owners/chefs. I can promise you if I opened an authentic american food restarant and made the sauces it would suck, guaranteed.

And to be fair, as far as chain restaurants go olive garden is above average. It may not be "authentic", but it's every bit as good or better than a ruby tuesdays or applebees.

I did spend a couple months TAD in Long Island once upon a time, found a great mom and pop italian restaurant. Portions so ridiculously large I don't think I ever finished a meal there and I ate there 2-3 times a week. Best coffe I ever had too.

Hard to find one that is sub-par. If they are, they just don't last long and fold. The one-off mom and pop are just the best. I've got a few that I consistently go back to when I'm up there.

Try La Vela in Solomons located at 251 c street where the old Drydock Restuarant was. Damn fine Italian vittles! 410 326 4817 Place gets packed call ahead.

Il Piccolo Morso is pretty good.​

One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to was owned and operated by Middle Easterners. In low light they look Italian, though.

I don't know whether to laugh or be offended.


I think I'll laugh.

She had the chicken carbonara. I had the bucatini with clam sauce....and a nicely chilled 2022 cerveza mas fina that paired well.
