Chips never disappoints. Whether you are on a romantic date , having dinner with Friends or just stopping in for a drink with old friends this is your spot !
Chiapparellis is some of the finest Italian food I've ever had in my life. I spent a week staying down the street two years ago, which is when I first discovered them. This time it was a family vacation in Annapolis, but we could not come to the east Coast and not have chiapparellis. The detour 100% paid off. Easily some of the best lasagna of my life! Will visit anytime I'm within a 500 mile radius, I promise you that!Dietary restrictions: They do gf very well!

I wish I could say I was excited about the food. The salad with their special sauce was okay, just a lot of Parmesan and oil. Bolognese pasta was presentable but average in taste. Service was slow and hostess didn't seem too invested in her job for greeting guests not seating them. I like the neighborhood and the set up of the restaurant with the paintings on the wall.

The food was absolutely AMAZING! The service was spectacular. We had Helen as our waitress, and she makes you feel at home and gives the best food recommendations. This is definitely a must eat if you are in the area!

Enjoyed this Italian restaurant in the heart of Baltimores Little Italy district very much , food was delicious , service was pretty good , the atmosphere was wonderful , I loved the elegant set up and the vintage look of the restaurant, the food came out pretty quick and was very delicious again , I would recommend anyone to come and try , the parking can be tricky in the area around dinner time , there is tons of street parking around the neighborhood , just have to find a spot but because everything is so tight together and streets aren’t that big you can still park and be very close to any restaurant

The Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp was so bland! I was visiting from out of town and we stayed in Little Italy and had high hopes but were sadly disappointed. The Alfredo had absolutely no flavor at all. Staying at a hotel I couldn't even season it to not feel like I wasted $50 for nothing. The Chocolate Cheesecake with raspberry sauce did not have raspberry sauce and looked like someone took a couple of stabs at it. The Fried Mozzarella was good so at least my 2 year old was pleased.

This was probably the yummiest Italian food I have very had. The bread came out fresh, the salad had great flavor, and the cheese tortellini was amazing. Our waiter was great, we did wait a little for our check at the end but other than that, service was good. Prices aren’t that bad, considering it is an authentic Italian restaurant in the middle of Little Italy.
The only authentic Italian thing here is the name! Salad swimming in dressing, veal drowning in sauce, pasta was bland, sauce out of a jar, and everything else tasted like it came out of a can. Great atmosphere and good service though.
The food was authentic. The staff well versed in the menu. The room was quiet and decorated well. All in all it was a great experience. There was no valet parking and on a rainy night it was a wet walk from the parking garage.

I've eaten at Chiapparelli's a couple of times and the food has always been in the "OK, sometimes good, but not spectacular" range. Tonight we decided to order delivery. We got an order of calamari to split; I got the tour with eggplant parm and my wife got the penne pesto with shrimp, and then we got a tiramisu and a slice of cheesecake. The calamari was pretty much on point, but honestly the two options for calamari are "unforgivably rubbery" and "on point", so that was a 50-50 shot. The tour was, to be perfectly honest, inexcusably bad. The eggplant parm was objectively the worst I've ever had. It was too thick and undercooked; I felt like I was eating a boiled shoe smothered in marinara sauce. The lasagna was also too thick in every layer and was unreasonably chewy in a way that was somehow less appetizing than a frozen dinner. The fettuccine alfredo was bland and the sauce was broken. The penne pesto was OK but nothing spectacular. To top it off, we never got the salads with our entrees or either of the desserts. I complained and got a partial refund. I don't hold the missing items against them, but the food itself was just extremely bad, and their salads are good enough that maybe having them to balance out the firmly underwhelming entrees would have made the experience more enjoyable. It probably didn't help that everything was barely warm by the time it arrived, but I've made better eggplant parm from scratch on multiple occasions, and I've made better fettuccine alfredo using boxed pasta and sauce from a jar. Hell, I've had better meals for less at Olive Garden. We won't be eating here again.

Yikes! Terrible experience. The host is rude. The waitress needs to maybe just retire. Our food was wrong , no refills and never going again.
