"Stopped in here for a early Dinner, I think we where the 1st. customers this day, as we were sat by either the manager or the owner, not sure which, but our waitress came sliding in just after we where seated. Ambience was great, they had Christmas light hanging every which way all over the outdoor seating area with so many "cord and plugs" everywhere you looked, I'm surprised the fire chief hasn't shut them down for a fire hazard. But that was part of the charm of the place. Our waitress was Great and the food was Amazing!! We had a Ceasar salad and added the "anchovies$3$ and croutons$4$" extras, not included, but definitely added to the salad. We also got the "Caprese salad" to start off with, both very good and substantial salads. For our entrees, we had the homemade "Gnocchi Di Patata", interestingly larger then your typical sized gnocchi, almost the size of golf balls, really soft and pillowy, in a tomato meat sauce with walnuts and pinenuts which gave it some texture, different but really good! We also had the "Fregula Con Cocciulas" handmade fregula pasta with fresh clams, Italian parsley, sun dried tomatoes and garlic, absolutely Excellent to finish off our meal. We will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items for sure! Highly recommend for authentic Sardinian Italian cuisine!! FYI - No Iced tea / they only sell coke products!"

"My gf’s and I strolled in Daniela’s one Sunday funday and I was immediately hooked! I brought a date here another evening bc I couldn’t stop raving about how authentic and mouth watering the dishes are, the way the ambiance transported me to Italy, and how kind and generous the staff is. I’m so thankful for that fateful Sunday bc Daniela’s has become a staple for me in Hampden. The pasta truly is home made and the dishes are made to order. This is Nonna’s restaurant!!! I ordered pacheri ai funghu porchini. The first time I came here was post workout and I wanted extra protein so our server, Osakana, recommended to add a red meat sauce mixed with the white cream sauce. And it was absolutely delicious!! It’s the kind of meal that makes you involuntarily close your eyes and savor every flavor dancing on your tastebuds. My date ordered the spaghetti alla chitarra in salsa di carne with a side of veal. I tasted some of his spaghetti and the basil and garlic was what stood out the most. This sauce is the most authentic sauce I’ve ever had stateside. I was transported back to Italy with every bite!! Daniela’s is a family owned and run restaurant that brings the flavors of Sardinia to Baltimore and I am so so grateful and thrilled to have a place like this in my hometown!! I recommend Daniela’s to everyone who has the opportunity to visit Hampden!!!"

"Quaint local Italian (Sardinian) neighborhood restaurant. Tables were way too short for us, but we squeezed in to enjoy an authentic meal. We ordered a clam pasta, a fruiti di mare pasta, and a lobster mushroom ravioli. It was probably meant for family style eating with multiple courses, but we didn't pick up on that in time and ordered like Americans. We finished with cafe and dessert - panna cotta with a raspberry sauce, tiramisu, and a pastry filled with Nutella and banana."

"Came in for a birthday dinner with some friends. The atmosphere was nice and inviting. Our server was super friendly. However service was slow and it didn't seem very busy (we waited a long time for a chance to order even wine - by the time we ordered the wine we were already ready to order everything). The food was not great. My spaghetti was pretty flavorless and mushy, the sauce was very bland. One of the other guest's food looked like it was floating in butter, so greasy. The caprese salad was just cut up cherry tomatoes without a ton of flavor and some mozzarella balls - didn't really get much balsamic or fresh basil, though the olive oil used was quite tasty. Also for the price point, I was very surprised to not be offered fresh parmesan on any of our pasta dishes, (or any parmesan at all), fresh pepper for salad, etc. We sat for awhile with dirty plates on our table as well once we were finished eating. Dessert was very good and probably the highlight of the meal. Overall, I doubt I'll be going back."

"LOVE THIS PLACE. Family business. So friendly. Authentic. Great gluten free and vegan options. Can even do desert!"
