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.

It was our first time at 10 and we could not have had a better experience. The service was IMPECCABLE! Johnny made our night and treated us like royalty. The drinks were so complex and innovative. The food was delicious. The best steak I've had in a LONG time. Get the brandy-cream sauce, you won't regret it. We have to come back to try the sushi!
