About the restaurant
La Barrita features Argentinian style steak seasoned with mouth watering chimichurri, home made pastas, and empanadas. Nestled in the Butcher's Hill neighborhood, La Barrita provides intimate atmosphere with a Baltimore industrial feel. In the warmer months enjoy al fresco dining when we roll up the garage doors.

At La Barrita we treat our guests like family. An upscale casual restaurant, we suit a variety of dining needs, from special occasions to catching up with friends; you might even catch a soccer game on at the bar. Just don't get caught in a Boca jersey! La Barrita is a proud supporter of River Plate fc.

We had an amazing dinner at La Barrita. It was our first time, and I will definitely be back! We enjoyed the empanada trio. Our favorite was the beef empanada. We shared the parrillada entree, as well as the gnocchi Santa Fe. Everything was delicious with so much flavor.

About the restaurant
In May 2021, this 40year-old-neighborhood gem on a hill underwent a full renovation. Venetian Palace is now sporting new digs with crisp modern decor and an expanded wine list. The impetus for the revamp was new ownership. Yes, the rumors are true... Valentino’s Restaurant Group which began in NE Baltimore city has now come to Harford County!

The food is better than ever, with highlights being the seafood pasta, the jumbo lump crab cakes, the grilled lamb chops, artisan handhelds, and the breakfast choices served all day.  Whether you are dining in or picking up carry-out do not forget the dessert!

Come as you are, the staff is knowledgeable and ready to serve.  We also offer our entire menu for carryout.  For your convenience, The Venetian Italian Eatery has teamed with Doordash, GrubHub & Uber Eats.  

Buon appetito!

The food selection is incredibly extensive and suited for all types of preferences. Our waiter came to our table instantly and we were checked on by the owners during our meal to ensure that our experience was what was expected. The portion sizes are incredible and the food, itself, was absolutely outstanding. We will DEFINITELY be back here again.

Rehoboth Beach
About the restaurant
Simple home cooking at its best… served in a casual, bistro-style dining room or on our outdoor, garden patio. A year-round local favorite, since 2009, offering home-made food, that’s always fresh. A lively mix of locals and tourists, gathering for dinner in the dining room, or drinks at the bar. Just a 10 minute walk from the ocean, on Rehoboth Avenue. We also have some free parking behind our restaurant and free parking (after 5pm) on the street behind our building. Late night bar entertainment includes: live music or Karaoke with a late night menu available after 9pm. Owners John & John are regularly on the premise, making sure you have a pleasant experience. “We strive to make Rigby’s a comfortable place, for all to feel welcome!” “We encourage you to have some good food and relax… after all, you’re at the beach!”

About the restaurant
Welcome to Oleum Vegan Kitchen, where Chef Adibe brings a fresh, creative approach to vegan cuisine, inspired by her almost 30 years of experience in the service industry and a deep passion for plant-based cooking. Originally founded in Okinawa, Japan, Oleum is now a Baltimore gem, located just a short drive from the National Aquarium and very close to the Baltimore Visitor's Center.

Our cozy and inviting space offers a welcoming atmosphere for both vegans and non-vegans alike, blending Mediterranean, Spanish, and Middle Eastern flavors into unforgettable dishes. A standout on our menu is the Miso Mushroom Bucatini, a delightful fusion of Chef Adibe's time in Japan and her love of savory pastas, this dish has quickly become a fan favorite.

Whether you’re looking to enjoy an intimate dinner or a special celebration, our friendly staff and beautiful ambiance, complete with a charming outdoor seating area, will ensure a memorable dining experience.

Excellent food that you wouldn’t even know is vegan (though that’s why we went). Great atmosphere. Excellent service.
