They moved from Pratt to waters st, and I enjoyed my food. It was done well and at a good price. Can't complain about that.
Pros: Price, food quality.
Cons: None apparent.

i went to Velleggia's last night. We waited 45 minutes for our food and it was only two other parties in the restaurant which both consisted of two. When the food came my mother's was burnt and not was what she asked for. Since when did Shrimp Alfredo come with fried shrimp. NEVER! The waiter insisted that "the food is not burnt just a little overcooked." Right! My mother said that she did not want the food and they took it back and brought her the same plate, now with sauteed shrimp which looked a whole lot better. She said that she didn't feel that she should have to pay full price for her meal because she waited over an hour for her food. The waiter agreed but when i came time for the check, no discount. We asked for the manager, in which we were told that he had to take his child home and was not there. Then was told that we could wait for the manager because he was on his way. He never made it and after waiting about a half an hour we finally left. While waiting we were told by the waiter that she was mad because she gave up a shower to wait on us because of party was supposed to be bigger. As if waiting is not her job anyway.I called and spoke to the owner today and he told me that he doubt that the food was burnt because his staff don't make mistakes and are voted, "Baltimore's Best" He also said that she ordered off the menu, but shrimp alfredo is italiana and that was not an issue when she mentioned it to the waiter. Then I asked what about the inconvenience of having to wait for more food? He said, "Inconvenience? They happens everyday, they are apart of life. I am NOT giving any money back because if i do than everyone would think that they can go to velleggia's and complain and get free food." Unprofessional and a lack of concern. I will NEVER eat there again, me or my family.
Pros: none
Cons: staff unfriendly and unwelcoming, food overpriced

The new ownership here is atrocious. The menu is overpriced for the quality of food you receive. They should stay out of business. I could not even talk to my friends because of the music being so loud. We also ended up hearing the same songs 3x over. Our server a middle aged women was smoking more than serving.
Pros: Close to the Harbor
Cons: Seafood was pretty bad

Everything we've had at Velleggia's has been good. (Maybe they're trying a little too hard with the new gelato bar and their application as a night club - which hasn't happened yet.) The service is pleasant and cares what you think. Definitely an affordable, nice meal out for family or romance in Little Italy. One of our favorites - hope they stay around!
Pros: Good service AND food
Cons: trying too hard

As I strongly suspected the Coffman clowns (the new owners of Velleggia?s) were going to be out of business soon and now they are. When you use deception to claim something you are not, karma will catch up with you. All these highly rated posts for this restaurant were obvious B.S. and an attempt by the new owners drum up business in a dishonest manner.
The old Velleggia?s was very good when the Velleggia family owned it and it?s a shame the name is now soiled. The new owners going out of business is a good thing for Little Italy and a great thing for any unsuspecting patrons.
This message is for the Coffman?s for being so dishonest and ripping me off. My middle finger is pointed in your direction.
Pros: They are out of business
Cons: None

I have never written a review on any restaurant before but after eating at Velleggias this last Saturday night and reading the signs all over Velleggias that they were voted the best Italian restaurant in Baltimore, I felt compelled to write my first. Velleggias is the worse Italian food I have ever had. My wife could not eat the Alfredo and they would be better off if they put Rago over the Lasagna. Our server was indifferent to us. I also noticed that the other rewiews by frequentdinerli and tmoliere sounds strange .I think the owners are possibly writing there own reviews.Both of the reviewers said the only "cons" were that there was only one location. I do not know if they really ate there Saturday night but thank goodness there is only one Velleggias! Do yourself a favor and stay away!!
Pros: good sports bar
Cons: alll the above

I been going to Velleggia's for the last five years since moving to Maryland the service has been great and though there have been a lot of changes they have always maintained the customer satisfaction side of their business we have had corporate affairs there and have never been turned away, even with last minute meetings the food has been nothing but the best I admit that we have used other restaurants and though they were good we have never had the same service as at Velleggia's. I personally go there every chance I get and even some of My co-workers do also. They have great food great music and The best servers than many of the local restaurants. I live near the harbour and have my choice of places to go but most nights I am there. Keep up the good job Terry.
Pros: best food
Cons: one location

Experienced Velleggia's first time at their Taste of Velleggia's that offers several dishes of en tree's, apps and desserts . The seafood was incredible and the pasta lived up to the reputation that we have heard. We now know what they mean when they say you will be lost in the sauce. We have been there many times since but this last time sets Velleggia's as City Search has stated, above the rest. They now have the best Gelato and many other scrumptious desserts. Our experiences are always what we want when we dine out.
Pros: Variety menu
Cons: Only one location

After reading all these reviews, i've come to this conclusion, it's a shame that the only good review was written by the owners themselves. It's obvious that the owners wrote this review, otherwise how would anyone know who was charged what at any point in time. Whoever this 'bob' person was, must have gotten some great deals from what the review said. Seems most are charged outrages prices so that others can get discounts. Doesn't seem fair to me. What happened to the good ole days when a meal there came with salad and bread. Now, you have to pay seperate for everything. As for waiting in line to get in. I can't remember the last time my wife and i waited to get in there. As it is now, we;ve stopped going all together.
When the original owners had the restaurant, we had no problem waiting in line. We knew we would be rewarded with great service and a great meal. From what i have read now, it's safer to brown paper bag it and just get a glass of water. That is if that hasn't been turned off yet. Guess my wife and i will remember the good times there and move on to bigger and better things. I just hope the new owners realize that without the customers, it doesn't matter what renovations are done, you'll never be able to pay for them without us. A little respect goes a long way.
Pros: Great parking finally.
Cons: Non english speaking wait staff, non caring waitstaff,Not into sports? Not welcome there.

Do not go to this place. My family and I decided to eat here because there was a 25 minute wait at Amici's. Little did we know that we would have gotten the food faster there and it would have tasted a whole lot better! When you first enter the restaurant, there is a a corridor that faces an empty room. It smells awful and we should have turned around right there. We were hungry and with the "best of citysearch 2007" sign, we chalked it up to rennovation. After we ordered it took over an hour for us to get our food (1 hour, 15 minutes). After about 45 minutes, we asked what was happening. They said there was only one cook. They could have told us this before and we wouldn't have ordered. With two little kids, it was so unprofessional that they kept us waiting for that long.
Pros: None
Cons: Long wait for food after ordering, medicre food. Awful smell when you first enter.
