Around the Kettle
A look at the kitchen, the tables and the food that makes Federal Hill smell so good.
Hands down the best carbonara outside of Rome. The pasta is silky, the room is loud in the best way and the service is warm.

We celebrated our wedding rehearsal dinner here and the team made it effortless. Every guest asked for the recipe for the ragu.

My go-to for date night on Federal Hill. Try the Margherita and a glass of the house Montepulciano.
