Supano’s Prime Steakhouse

I would give zero stars if I could. DO NOT GO HERE, EVER. Upon arrival we were not greeted for 5 minutes, but given that it was recommended by 2 people we assumed the food was good and worth the wait.
The décor left everything to be desired. I enjoy Frank Sinatra but when every wall is covered in portraits of him and other Ratpack members something is amiss. Not to mention the wall projection of Sinatra performing at Caesar’s Palace in the 1970s on repeat, at an intolerable volume level. The lighting of the place was dim, which was probably better since I didn’t want to know how filthy the place was (there was dust on my table).
After 10 minutes of waiting after being seated we were asked if anyone had helped us. After answer no, the waiter walked away and wasn’t seen again for another 10 minutes. When they finally came to take our drink orders we ordered our appetizer and meal as well just guessing how long it would take.
Our meals arrived about half an hour later, BEFORE OUR APPETIZER. What was slopped across our plate was clearly from a can, from the canned sauce, to the canned meat. A five year old could have prepared a fresher meal. Thankfully I didn’t order the steak which was between 60 and 80 dollars. I only choked down the food because I didn’t have time to go elsewhere at this point. We were finally finished with our meal and our appetizer came out. Little tip, if you’re going to serve garlic bread, it should have garlic flavoring to it. Not just Kraft sprinkled parmesan on a burnt piece of char that at one time was recognizable as a piece of Wonder Bread.
Exhorbitant prices, awful food, worse décor, and negligent cleaning practices. Nothing redeemable to this place whatsoever.

I had lunch today at Supano’s with Mid Atlantic Networking. Their lasagna has to be the best on the planet. We had a large group, but were very well taken care of. I would recommenced Supano’s to anyone who is looking for excellent food, service and atmosphere!

Great ambiance and location in the inner harbor area of Baltimore. A really cool sports themed, Italian dive throwback feel with games on TV and even a billiards area that doesn’t devalue the experience. Food is average and way overpriced. I had the veal parmesan which was decent but way over priced. Service was friendly.

The food was ok. Pretty pricy for what you get. The salad was the best fresh and the dressing was delightful. It is in a convent area. The crab seafood mix was kinda bland and the mash potatoes were even more disappointing. WE ENJOYED THE CREAM PUFF DESSERT THE MOST.

Quirky little place on Water Street. Seemed expensive at $ 57 for two people eating and one alcoholic beverage consumed, but then it’s in downtown and I’m generally broke. The chicken rolatini was certainly not a disappointment. I think my companion’s lasagna was also quite good.

Dysfunctional, overpriced, questionable food safety practices round out my experience. Went there for a business trip and should have avoided when I called and the hostess asked if we can push back our reservation because they had a larger group coming in. Regardless of the group, they do not brew their tea, our server was a mess and had no clue what types of pasta sauces they had.
Also, half their tap beer was discontinued, but had floaty material in the beer we got so you knew the lines were dirty. $ 10 side salad with a $ 32 crab cake. The crab cake was good, the only saving grace of the entire experience.
Pass over this place and go to little Italy or any chain place, avoid at all costs! Very unfortunate!

I had a better steak three days later at Texas Roadhouse for a third of the cost. The atmosphere is very nice. My waitress was horrible. She was jacked up on some kind of drugs. Music was good. I would go back for apps and drinks. Food is over way over priced.

Dropped in just before one am after a flight on a Wednesday night for a great meal and local ambiance and lore. Brat Pack posters, local regulars at the karaōke mic, linen napkins laid out for bar top dining, friendly service (a rarity that late in a server’s shift), and an inspirational conversation with the owner. Cute side street, walking distance from the Sheraton. We will return. Would readily rent out the downstairs for a large group — personable space.

Upon arriving to Baltimore, my boyfriend and I were extremely hungry so we looked up steak restaurants in the area. I went on groupon and found that this place had a deal.
When I got to the restaurant and looked through the menu, I was extremely shocked at the prices. I originally wanted steak but immediately changed my mind when I saw that they were priced on average $ 50– $ 60.
I decided instead to get a fettuccine Alfredo pasta and my boyfriend ordered the Maryland crab cake. The pasta was really creamy but overall good. The crab cake was fresh and good but not worth $ 30.
Lastly, when I presented my groupon to my waitress, she responded by saying that I had to buy two entrees in order to use the groupon. She did let me get away with it but I thought this was a little odd as it wasn’t mentioned in the groupon.
All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant especially for people that are looking for decent priced food.

OMG! Ok. where do. I start.this place. I love the nostalgia of the rat pack and all of the old hollywood stars in this place. The prices… off the chain. I ordered the filet mignon 6oz… I thought it would have filled me up.NOT.they do have REAL crabcakes. with REAL crabmeat. thats they only good thing I have to say about this place. $ 90.00 later. NOT IMPRESSED
–0 stars

Waiter was terrible, had no idea what sauce came with the lobster ravioli, asked me how to make an old fashioned, and neglected to ask me if I’d prefer vegetable or pasta with the seafood trio.
But, the food was pretty god damn tasty even for the price and presentation. Good crab cakes.

An excellent place found by accident. Amazing live piano by Bob Stout playing 50’s, 60’s, Sinatra, etc. This place is a whole experience – not just a restaurant. Food is great too, as is the management. Glad we found it. Very polite wait staff.
Good homemade pasta. Nice garlic bread and bruschetta too. Good drinks from a full bar. Ambiance is excellent!

This place is hands down the worst restaurant I’ve dined at in the past 5 years.
I had a feeling the moment we walked in last night that we should turn around and leave but my fiancé was starving so we sat down against our better judgement. The tablecloth was a cheap vinyl and sticky… I didn’t even dare place my silverware on it as I could tell it was filthy. The place became noticeably more dirty & disgusting as the night wore on. We both had to shower when we got home because we felt so dirty from dining there! The restaurant is supposedly a «steakhouse» but the steak is on par with Applebee’s not Ruth’s Chris! Also, what steakhouse has karaōke at it??? I am so disappointed and appalled from the evening that I am still reeling from the shock of our dining experience.
Based upon the restaurant week menu we saw online we decided to dine there rather than a chain steakhouse despite the quality you are guaranteed to get at a chain. We figured any place that offers «USDA prime 28 day dry aged NY strip and filet» will at least have high quality meat and cooks who knows how to properly prepare a steak. We couldn’t have been more wrong!
I don’t know if we got second rate food simply because we ordered off the restaurant week menu or if the food quality we received is indicative of the true nature of food served at the restaurant on a normal basis. Regardless, we should have been served what the menu purports to offer. Instead we were given a bait & switch. That is false advertising, illegal, and quite frankly shows a complete lack of integrity by the owners, management, and workers of the restaurant.
First, when ordering we asked our served for a recommendation between the strip vs filet for the house specialty cut. Our server lacked even the most basic of steak knowledge that even Outback Steakhouse servers have! He stated the only difference between the steaks was how soft the meat is. He was not aware that they are completely different cuts from different parts of the cow which account for differences in texture, fat, flavor, etc! When we asked for the sizes of the steaks he didn’t know that either!!! The only information he could offer is that the filet is smaller (but softer). What kind of steakhouse has a server who does not know the size of the steak served? That’s the most basic information a server should know. Incompetent!
My fiancé ordered the Caesar salad and the NY strip medium rare. His tiny side salad had WARM Caesar dressing which is extremely concerning considering most homemade Caesar dressings are made with raw egg. We are just hoping bottled dressing was used so he doesn’t get sick as after dinner I went on Unilocal and read multiple reviews online of people getting food poisoning after eating there. My biggest regret is not having looked at Unilocal before dining there!
His NY strip came out at less than ½″ thick, no more than 8 oz, cooked medium well, NOT medium rare. I was upset and wanted him to show our server but he did not come over to check on us for more than 20 minutes. So my fiancé ate because he was starving. As soon as he cut into the steak it was tough and there were no juices at all. The center was grey with a touch of pink. It was beyond overdone. We both didn’t have to taste the steak to know it was not USDA prime, choice or even select for that matter! I was infuriated at the false advertisement. When I pointed out to the server from the center of the steak that it was not medium rare he said «well I can’t really SEE SEE to tell, but let me bring the menu over to you to show you the descriptions.» First off, the menu will not give him a better idea of how overcooked this steak is. Second, we both know the definition of a medium rare steak is a warm red center and anyone who’s ever had a steak at a restaurant knows this. Wtf!!! After showing us the menu and me pointing out the differences in the description and how this steak matched the one for medium well, the server had the audacity to say there’s nothing that could be done and walked away with no concern for our dissatisfaction. I was incredulous!
Per my fiancé the mashed potatoes that came with his steak had too much garlic, and this is a man who eats garlic with everything! I felt so bad for him for his shitty meal I couldn’t even enjoy mine despite it being palatable.
I had the mozzarella carrosso and the crab cake. Nothing special. The appetizer was 3 small bites of grilled cheese made of Texas toast & mozzarella with a creamy tomato sauce. The crab cake was standard. Faidley’s is cheaper, larger and better tasting in my opinion.
We were so upset we didn’t even touch the tiny sliver of tiramisu we received as our 3^rd course. And mine had teeth marks on an edge! We’ve had an amuse-​bouche larger than the «dessert» served to us last night!
We left the restaurant completely disappointed and dissatisfied, feeling ripped off. I wrote an email to management but doubt they even care enough to respond. Avoid this place!

Went in on the 4^th for dinner with 8 people. The host was great and we were seated promptly. Cool old school atmosphere in an old brick building on a little side street/​alley. Service was great. We were attended to without a wait and all our questions were answered. Food was nothing special. We opted for Italian instead of steak. We got the house salad which was fresh and simple. The Caesar salad was fresh, but was on par with a bagged grocery store Caesar kit, but a little less flavorful. Chicken Parm was subpar. I had 5 – 6 bites before I found chicken. I thought maybe they gave me a thin piece of eggplant or veal, but I guess I was just eating fried breading for the first few bites. It came with a small side of boxed spaghetti and sauce. We also had lasagna which was tasty but soupy and small. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo was tasty but nothing special. We had a couple of kids meals that were also average.
Overall, food was average but tasty and portions were on the small side. Prices for food and drinks were slightly on the high side. We got no bread — it was needed for the saucy stuff. We weren’t offered cracked pepper or grated cheese.
Bathrooms were dirty and appeared to have some plumbing problems.
I’ll still give it 3 stars for charm and service, and the food wasn’t bad. Downstairs has the Man Cave with pool tables, darts, a bar, etc. It had a great vibe.
Hit it up for a happy hour special or if you’re a huge Sinatra/​Rat Pack fan.

Overall my experience was great on Friday evening 7÷3÷15! The hosts were friendly and pleasant; our server, Nicole was very nice, attentive, and made excellent meal suggestions: the Mozzarella Carrosso and Lasagna, which were fantastic; and the wine menu was fabulous. I ordered the Burgess Cabernet, which is a recommended item by the owner, and it was such an exquisite red, worth every penny.
I was visiting from Charlotte, and I can’t wait to come back to visit my Maryland friends just so I can visit Supano’s again!

I was disappointed that room service wasn’t available at my hotel the night that I arrived. So I knew dinner in my pajamas with HBO wasn’t an option. But they quickly referred me to Supano’s which really made up for it. The maître d’, Kevin, and my server, Howard, were the most attentive, friendly, and professional think I’ve ever seen. The seafood Trio was amazing and the cheesecake for dessert was fantastic. They even offered a 20% discount because I was a guest at a nearby hotel. I’ll be in Baltimore again in a few weeks and I’ll definitely be stopping by Supano’s for dinner.
UPDATE: It’s about five hours after I left the restaurant and I’m awake with an upset stomach. I don’t know what caused it but I won’t be going back to Supano’s for fear of a repeat. The food tasted good but it wasn’t worth this.

The food at Supanos was very good. I had the crab cake– large size with lump crab. The atmosphere is friendly– with «rat pack» décor (see photo) and music. Live piano. The service was five star. There is a cellar bar with a pool table– after dinner we stopped for a beer. Overall a very good experience. I would go again.

We made a reservation and came here with some friends to finish off a wonderful weekend. With a party of 7 we expected things to take a little more time, but 20 minutes after ordering, our server told us that they were out of the 10 oz fillet. When we asked what they were suggesting as an alternative, they didn’t have one. We could either get the 6 oz fillet or a different cut. I was fairly hungry and excited to have my favorite type of steak, and was disappointed when the management couldn’t accommodate us by providing any suggestions or possibly just giving two 6 oz steaks at the cost of the 10 since it was not made clear to us on ordering that this product was unavailable.
We decided it was better for our party to leave when we found out that they still hadn’t begun preparing our other meals. They offered no suggestions and seemed that they would rather not try to accommodate after their error. We chose to go to Ruth’s Chris up the street and had a much better experience (and got the steak I had ordered.)
I am still disappointed in the management and their decision to choose the cost of two ounces of steak over our party’s business. We won’t be coming back and I will be telling this story again.
This occurred 12÷14÷14 at 7pm.

I went here with 7 friends on Sunday 12/​14/​2014 around 7:30PM.
Il buono:
The place has tons of Sinatra posters and pictures on the wall. They play tons of Sinatra music. Love the vibe.
il brutto:
I asked the waiter if the eggplant parmesan was served family style and he had no idea what I was asking. He explained to me that it was eggplant with parmesan cheese on top. I then asked him if it came with pasta or if I needed to order a side of pasta and he didn’t understand that question either. I’m sure the man deserves to work and this place likely pays well, but maybe he would be better suited to a restaurant such as Texas Roadhouse.
il cattivo:
Around when we were expecting our food to arrive, the waiter returned and told us they were out of the 10 ounce filet. He offered no alternatives and simple handed the two people who ordered it the menu. It’s completely unacceptable to be out of steak at a steakhouse and then to let us order it is even worse. We suggested they give us 2 six-​ounce filets as the same price, but the manager wouldn’t compromise. We threatened to leave and eventually did.
Really terrible experience and a big waste of time. If you are stupid enough to go here, you deserve to eat their food and be treated in such a manner.

A friend recently raved to me about how much she loved Supano’s Steakhouse. If you’re unfamiliar, Supano’s is an Italian steakhouse located in Downtown Baltimore. It has a very old school /​rat pack feel and a Frank Sinatra theme.
A friend and I recently had some good news to celebrate and were craving Italian food so we decided to head over to Supano’s Steakhouse for dinner. My friend and I decided to order a few different Italian options rather than steak because Supano’s is an Italian Steakhouse and we were ready to be blown away by Italian food. There are plenty of steakhouses in the city where you can get a great steak.
My friend started her meal with the Caesar Salad. She said it was good, but nothing particularly remarkable.
I started my meal with the Mozzarella Carrosso that our waitress recommended (she was wonderful, her name was Erin.) The dish was fresh mozzarella cheese on on a slice of bread, fried and then in a creamy pink sauce. This was hands down one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, packed with flavor and stuffed with delicious mozzarella cheese. It was basically mozzarella sticks on steroids.
My friend ordered the Baked Ziti which was good, but again not particularly noteworthy. For the prices Supano’s is charging, we both anticipated homemade pasta instead of something we can make at home.
Again, a major mistake in our ordering was that I decided to also try an Italian dish and went with the Chicken Parmigiana. The pasta that came with the dish was definitely not home made, the chicken was fried more than I would have liked it to be and greasy and the dish was very light on the cheese.
Overall, my friend and I were not particularly satisfied with our experience at Supano’s and probably should have ordered a steak like my friend suggested.
