Experience Authentic Italian Dining in Baltimore
At Cinghiale, we celebrate the richness and style of the Italian table through two distinct dining experiences. Our Enoteca embodies the cosmopolitan energy of 1960s Milan and Bologna, offering a lively wine bar with artisanal charcuterie and Abruzzese-style pizza. The Osteria provides an elegant setting with Northern Italian classics and white-tablecloth service. Since 2007, weve combined authentic cuisine with an award-winning wine program curated through immersive trips to Italian vineyards.The restaurants design, featuring a 40-foot Roman marble bar and a rustic Farm Table, reflects our dedication to creating meaningful connections through food and wine. Our team, led by owner Tony Foreman and Wine Director Lindsay Willey, prioritizes guest-driven hospitality rooted in decades of experience in Italian culinary traditions.
