    Massimo is one of our favorite places to eat in Federal Hill. The lunch special is delicious, has a good variety of choices, and a very economical choice for a lot of food. Food is hot and tasty. Their focaccia bread is SO good. My son and I go there whenever we have a special occasion to celebrate. Servers and other wait staff are always attentive, pleasant, and knowledgeable.

    We were there at lunchtime. The place was very clean, with a friendly and warm atmosphere. Our waitress had a good knowledge of the food and service. We ordered octopus, crab cutlet, tomato and burrata salad, Thai quinoa, and tuna tartare. Everything was very delicious. I would recommend it to friends.

    6:00 PM reservation. Arrived early and taken immediately. Seated in a nice booth and greeted immediately with water and bread. The waiter, exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, then greeted us and served us exceptionally prepared drinks and provided special options. We got the 8-ounce filet and the lamb chops both expertly prepared and sooooo tasty. The scallopped potatoes and cream corn were also excellent. Creme Broulee dessert for two with berries was fresh. The entire evening was so well done. This is our "go-to" place for all our celebrations and we are never disappointed.

    Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
