Squisito Pizza & Pasta – Annapolis

We have been going here for a few years now and the Italian food never disappoints. The flavor is authentic, the staff is great and you can’t beat the price of the seafood pastas. We love the linguini posillipo and the fettuccini mediterraneo.

I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal here since it opened. This is our regular go to Italian food restaurant in the Annapolis area. Their pizza is excellent and every entrée i have ever tried has been very good. Service is always top notch also.

Whenever in or passing through Annapolis, this was always the go to place for garlic knots. Yes, garlic knots — the ubiquitous doughy things you ca find at any pizza place. These however were never your usual garlic knots. I’d always take several orders in the car ride home to NJ with me to keep in the freezer — they were that good. However, something happened the last time I went in that everything seemed to be dry and warmed over. The Greek salad was good as always, but the consistency of the food seems to have diminished a bit. I’ll unfortunately not be making special trips there in the future, and I’m bummed.

Swim meet was over and we needed food! This place is really close to the Annapolis Swim Center and was spot on! The slices are large, perfect for kids. Excellent NY style. Not the thinnest crust ever — but for MD — really good with a nice little crunch to it. The menu is pretty big. They have a kids menu as well. We had pizza and the boneless buffalo bites. We’ll try more next time. Someone wrote a review that said that the food was brought out as it came up in the kitchen. It was true for us, but we didn’t care. Pizza came out first, then the Buffalo bites. We’ll be back again.

If you go with more than two people you had better order the same thing. We ordrred three different items and they all came out at different times. Never EVER again.
Greek salad was anything but…
Basic, disappointing strip mall food.

I was a bit leery about this place at first. I read other reviews, so we wanted to give it a try. It was the highest rating for Italian restaurants for the Annapolis area.
I ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce and my wife ordered the fettuccine carbonara for dinner. We also got an order of the garlic knots with marinara sauce.
My meal was fantastic — spaghetti was perfectly cooked and the meat sauce was as tasty as I have ever had. It was all easily sopped up with the garlic bread that came with it. My wife tried it too! She is very picky when it comes to sauces, but she said that she liked the taste very much.
The fettuccine carbonara was delicious too! My wife liked it very much and I gave it a whirl with a couple bites. Delicious!
The garlic knots were thick and tasty! We both liked them and the marinara sauce.
We didn’t try any desserts — because we were full. But we will be back!
Service was fast and we were satisfied with our choice for this evening!
Great job to the master of the kitchen tonight!

We LOVE SQUISITO in both Annapolis and Crofton! You cannot beat their prices and can always depend on the food being hot, fresh, and delicious and their service is prompt and very friendly!

A pleasant little place and obviously does some regular business. A man was picking up a to go order and conversed with the staff. «Been a while since lunch. How are you?»
While I have no particular qualms about recommending it, the restaurant is about half or better self-​service.
I had the chicken parmesan and you get a good amount for your money. It came with garlic toast and angel hair pasta. The entrée was pretty good but the bread was just ok.
I also had a chocolate chip cannoli that was decent, but a little unremarkable.
A good place for relatively cheap and a quick meal.

Was in town for the week, and thought I’d give this a shot. The chicken parmigiana was wonderful, and the chocolate mousse cake is probably the best that I have ever had.

This place is great. My favorite thing is they have two portions to offer, the lunch portion and the dinner portion. I love it! I just moved to Maryland and we do not have these in NJ but this Lunch was great. I will def be coming there often.
I would def. recommend to others.

Ordered a slice of pepperoni and a chocolate chip cannoli to go. Food was good, if you’re looking for New York style pizza, you can’t miss with this place!

No complaints. Mission:
to consistently serve perfectly priced high quality authentic Italian dishes with superior service in an upscale yet casual & inviting atmosphere.
Great service! Had the penne alla vodka and house Chianti. Buffet line of you want pizza by the slice. My garlic bread came out right away. Pasta quickly followed!

My new favorite pizza spot in annapolis! Great pizza and even faster more authentic pizza joint service you would expect at a spot in New York or Chicago. I loved the meat lovers pizza, great sausage and bacon and ham not the tasteless crap you get at papa johns and dominos and Pizza Hut. I saw gelato when I went in so that will be next on my list of things to try! Can’t wait to go back!

First time I tried Squisito was at Arundel Mills Blvd. Wasn’t that impressed with the pizza then. Glad I tried this location, the pizza was hot, fresh, oozing with cheese and grease as a NY style pizza should.
Pizza — 4 – 5 stars. Pizza was great and the closest thing to NY style pizza in the area. My other pizza spot has to be Potomac Pizza in Chevy Chase, MD. That’s a pizza worth driving for. This place was damn good also with respect to the pizza.
Calamari — 1 star. Tasted like rubber bands. The marinara sauce HORRIBLE!!!
Garlic Knots — 3 stars. The knots were good the marinara sauce HORRIBLE!!!
I called in my order for lunch at about 11am. Got there in 15 minutes food was ready. They just opened at 11 but they had a TON of staff hard at work.

Nice traditional Italian style place for a good meal. Friendly staff that is from Italy, so that made me feel better about the food being more authentic in a way. Only great experiences with their large variety of Italian dishes to pick from in addition to even a few beers and wines. You get the food fairly quickly. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is I prefer a wait staff as opposed to ordering at the window in line, but that’s just me. Other than that, you know what to expect, and they deliver. Great place.

Best Italian place in the area, food is always fresh and super tasty! Veal Chesapeake is delicious !

Nice pizza stop. I’ve ate in and taken out. Both were good experiences. The crust is NY style with a little more crisp than your typical greasy NY style. The garlic knots plus a salad made for a tasty reasonable lunch. I’d go back.

Some unique ready to pizzas. Pretty cheap. Reminds me of a pizza joint you Find in a mall but a tad higher quality. The garlic knots are pretty good.

My wife raved about this place so I decided to give it a try instead of Pei Wei.
Talk about efficiency and quality. We were worried that it might take too long considering the large selection of menu items they offered. It did not take long at all. As soon as we sat down the salad came out and before I could finish my beer the entrée was served. I had the chicken parm and it was perfect even better than some of your more popular chains. The portions are huge (but I am a skinny guy). I even had enough left over for lunch.
The restaurant is dine in or take out. Although not fancy, it is very warm and inviting. The customer service is excellent and they also serve Gelato. I had the strawberry gelato which was very good.
Can’t wait to try it again the next time I’m in Annapolis.

This is a nice quick Italian eatery that suits the purpose. We go here when we need a fast meal that is not «fast food».
I always get the Gnocchis covered in delicious pink sauce — but I must say it has to be a heavy cream based sauce because I always get a bit sick afterwards.
They give you bread with your meal and they also do some really delicious garlic knots. It’s good, quick, tasty Italian.
You order at the front counter, they give you a number, you find a table, and they bring you the rest.
