ZaVino Italian Marketplace

4 stars for the market, 5 stars for the sandwich I ordered! The market is nice, a decent selection, but smaller than other Italian markets in the area. I thought the prices were a little high on some of the things I perused while waiting for my sandwich. But, this is not really a review about the market, it is about that sandwich! The Italian Combo (mortadella, capicola, salami, pepperoni, lettuce, tomatoes, shaved onion, hoagie spread, vinaigrette, hoagie roll). It was really amazing. I thought it might be impossible to beat diPasquale's Italian sammie, but this might just do it. The bread was amazing, firm and chewy without being tough enough to tear up your mouth by the time you are done eating. Really tasty bread too. The meats and dressing on the sandwich were fresh, bold and so flavorful. I don't know what is in the dressing on the sandwich, but it was so freaking good! I am really impressed by this sandwich. I ate the sandwich in the store at their counter space. My only complaint about that is that it is February and it is COLD in that store, plus the marble top was freezing to the touch AND metal chairs. I was dying by the time I left. I wish they could do something to warm up the store in general.

Zavino is an awesome addition to the area. Amazing sandwiches, one of the best mozz sticks we’ve ever had, great pizzas and a fantastic selection of Italian groceries. Great little wine/beer/liquor store as well which means you can get a bottle of wine for the cost of a glass at most nicer restaurants and they will provide glasses. Not a ton of indoor seating but when the weather is nice they have outdoor tables. The Hail Ceasar and the Italian Combo were both top tier sammies, highly recommend both and looking forward to trying all the rest of the menu.

Definitely one of the best pizzas I've had in the area. So incredibly thin with a great balance of crisp and chewy that you'd expect from Neo-Neapolitan. Bonus points for the market selling cans of Jersey Fresh tomatoes!

Stopped by today based on a recommendation from my co-worker. I didn't expect this to be such a cool place with so many options! There's a cheese section, deli meat area, wine shop, grab and go, you name it! We ordered from the menu and picked up our food. The staff was very nice and answered all of my dietary restriction questions thoroughly. We enjoyed our meals and will definitely return!

They call it the Italian Combo. The sub was really good. I brought it home to eat because they didn't have any regular tables to sit at. I could smell the oil, vinegar, and seasonings the whole way home. The roll was great!

Thrilled for ZaVino to open in north Baltimore Cross Keys Shopping Center. Fantastic curated selection of wine, spirits and RTD beverages. The Nepolitan Pizza and hand made sandwiches to order are 5 star and worth every penny. Bravo to Gino, Andrew and the awesome ZaVino team on a great eatin/retail concept that I will be visiting for many years to come!

A Delightful Lunch Experience at Zavino Italian Marketplace! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Today, I visited Zavino Italian Marketplace, located in the Village of Cross Keys at 58 Village Square, Baltimore, MD. Drawn in by their recent ad on CBS, I decided to stop by around noon, and I’m so glad I did! This place is a unique blend of a delicatessen, grocery, brick-oven pizzeria, and liquor store—a one-stop Italian culinary delight! I ordered the Funghi White Pizza for $20, and it was absolutely fantastic! The pizza featured a delightful mix of flavors: creamy besciamella, roasted mushrooms, onion agrodolce, aged mozzarella, and fontina. It was topped off with just the right touch of truffle oil, all resting on a perfectly crispy crust, cooked to absolute perfection. Each bite was rich and flavorful, leaving me craving more! If you’re in the mood for a delicious pizza, I highly recommend giving the Funghi a try—it's a must-have for pizza lovers. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of what Zavino has to offer. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, some specialty Italian groceries, or a quality bottle of wine, Zavino is a delightful addition to Baltimore’s food scene!

We needed this so badly in this area. High quality food at a good price, and there’s plenty of parking!! The pizza is some of the best I’ve had in Baltimore and the sandwiches are by far the best I’ve had in the state. My favorites have been the Calabrian Hot Chicken and Ninth Street Special. I think what makes them stand out is the meat is high quality. And the hot honey they use is amazing. It’s our new go to

Wow!! Fairly new Italian Deli in Cross Keys. My sister in law brought over an assortment of subs and a pizza for Sunday Football. We had the cold Italian cold cut combo, chicken Parm, meatball, and the pork sandwich which was all warm sandwiches. Good quality meat, the sub buns were soft, seasonings were spot on. Def a new favorite when we visit the Baltimore area!!!

With Cross Keys expanding so rapidly, I wanted to try one of the newer food options in Cross Keys. ZaVino was today's pick. The establishment is beautiful with an array of Italian food and wine for purchase. They also have food for carryout as well. You can eat in ZaVino's but they do not have an expansive eating area inside the store. You can either order at the counter or they have one self-kiosk for ordering. That said in the midst of me placing my order at the kiosk, a cashier stopped me and stated she would take me at the register. Why, I'm not sure but it felt it weird and made me slightly uncomfortable. I asked her if they sold slices of pizza and she shook her head no, while barely speaking up to answer my question. She also didn't offer the selection of single sliced focaccia pizza they have for purchase-also odd. I feel like a good cashier/salesperson would be able to identify what you need, by what you're asking for, then offer a comparable (if available) option to meet the customer's needs. Again, this was not the case and I did not see the pizza slices until I was exploring the store while waiting for my food to be prepared. Again, so very odd. Also, my personal experience with the customer service overall in ZaVino's wasn't engaging or welcoming. Nobody really made eye contact, smiled, offered to assist-nothing. I was excited about getting the pizza due to the pictures and reviews, yet I opted for a chicken Caesar instead given my experience noted above. Definitely regretted the salad decision upon receiving, but wanted to be open about the experience. The chicken was moist but for some reason just seemed warmed versus grilled. The dressing-was not a fan. It was that thick dip like dressing, with not a great Caesar taste. The homemade croutons weren't even a hit for me as I'd expected them to be. I love homemade croutons, bummer. Needless to say, I'd like to return just for the pizza but given my experience with the customer service, I'm skeptical and it's not happening. I probably shouldn't have spent my money here, I get it, but y'all I was STARVING and I wanted to try some place new convenient to my next meeting destination. I've learned my lesson and next time I'll just starve. Cheers to a great time!

Cute little market! My friend and I got coffee at Kneads and grabbed sandwiches here for lunch. The sandwiches are a bit steep in price. I ordered the chicken parm sub ($16). The sub was in one word, fine. It is on the larger side, so could be shared. That is how my friend described her caprese sub (fine and big). Not the best, not the worst. Her husband did love his italian sub tho! I also grabbed a bag of pesto potato chips that were by the register, I did not like them at all (lol). I also grabbed a small block of interesting cheese, which I loved and thought was reasonably priced. Overall, I would definitely return to try out some of the other subs. The menu is quite extensive and the ingredients seem to be high quality. Service was friendly and the place was very clean!

Nestled in the Cross Keys shopping center, sits the fairly new Italian restaurant and market, ZaVinos. A quaint restaurant where you can pop in for a quick bite to eat, grab some carry out, pick out a delicious bottle of wine, or shop for those rare Italian items you can't find in your local grocer. The smell of wood-fire pizza wafts in the air as you walk inside ZaVinos, which you can see the pizzas being made in front of you in their open kitchen. You can parous around the market and gawk over all that the market has to offer and think about what you can make at home with the specialty items, while waiting for your Italian fare to be prepared. And the staff are all helpful, with an associate to assist you in picking out the perfect bottle of wine as well. I opted for the Pesto Pizza, which was quite tasty. A decently sized pizza for one person or enough to share with another person if you choose. A bright pesto on top of a red sauce with chicken and sprinkled with a crispy breadcrumb topping, yum! I popped a squat at their counter to enjoy my dinner. They also have outside seating for the warmer months to enjoy your food. ZaVino's offers a variety of pizzas, pasta, sandwiches, and salads. They also have a section where you can purchase some of their prepared food items to take home and reheat. With so many items on ZaVino's menu that interest me, I'm looking forward to my next visit.

At least 3 staff literally standing idle looking at us while we stood at the counter to order food for at least 5 minutes, no one helped. The store owner finally came around and had the nerve to tell me to be patient. There are a dozen niche Italian marketplaces in the city, go to one that appreciates your business and makes your satisfaction a priority.

I'm going five stars. I was visiting (no surprise) Alway Ice Cream at Crosskeys and saw a patron with a pizza box from ZaVino. I was curious! Went home and looked them up. The location is on the upper level of the complex. If you park in the lower lot you can walk around back of the ice cream shop and take the stairs up. Or, park in the upper deck. The shop has a large selection of wines for sale and does sell by the glass. There's a cold counter with items to purchase including tiramisu. They have a proper pizza oven, which was great to see. The pies are personal size and the menu is extensive for a quick sit down spot. We ordered two pies. I had the eggplant with hot honey pie, awesome. Highly recommend. I'm told the pepperoni was great as well. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Super casual. For a quick bite to eat, I recommend trying them out!

ZaVino is a new Italian market in the cross keys shopping center! The food is absolutely delicious!! They have an awesome assortment of cheeses, meats, wine, and spreads for all of your charcuterie needs! The owner, Gino and his team are so welcoming and kind.

I stayed at the hotel next door so I ate here 4 nights in a row. My favorite was definitely the Hail Caesar Sandwich. The soup is delicious and I would order the pizza again. You can order online or order at the counter...they get the food out quickly. There are so many good wines and Italian drinks to choose from. This is the perfect place to come to if you want to make a good charcuterie board.

Delicious sandwiches, nice wine selection! I've gotten the roast pork sandwich twice. Would love more broccoli rabe on there but otherwise it hits the spot every dang time.

Yes finally! So happy the Roland Park area has an awesome new Italian hotspot. ZaVino has a great selection of sandwiches, mouthwatering pizzas and desserts such as tiramisu. They have a grab and go refrigerated section or you can place an order for fresh hot food. They also have an extensive wine selection. I am afraid this may be my new go to for quality take out during the week!

I ordered the Italian Combo sandwich for myself and the Cabrese for my wife. Both excellent. When my wife says something was really good, that is saying something.

Very good mozzarella sticks. Comes with four of them but I ate one. Cheesy and crispy

Today was our first time here and it was / is fantastic! The food is incredible. Looks like our family has a new Friday night steady for dinner.

Love this Italian market. Great atmosphere, service & food! You can shop the market area while your fresh pizza is being baked. Easy parking!

What a great addition to our area!! My wife and I stopped in to check it out and ordered probably the best pizza in the area and a bottle of wine. We opened it while we waited. The place is bright and the staff is very welcoming and helpful. The pizza was fantastic and the meatballs were the best we have had in a long time. There are a few places similar in the area and this place is the best. I strongly recommend ZaVino and we will definitely be regulars.

Ordered the mortadella and burrata sandwich and it changed me life. The customer service was splendid and the sandwich was superb, 10/10!

The short is, the food and staff were great, and I highly recommend this place. We got the americano pizza, fried mozzarella, and Italian sub and each was amazing. Not to mention the staff was supper friendly and helpful for food and wine selection and we were able to get a half bottle of wine to enjoy at the tables outside. Everyone should give this place a try.

I would like to give this place ZERO stars! I went to this place on my birthday to have a glass of wine with my mother today and to look at the wine and cheese, fig jams, and chutney selections. Unfortunately upon our arrival not ONE person at ZaVino spoke to us, greeted, or asked us if we have any questions. Not a way to do business or customer service. At the time there were more (visible) employees in the store than customers. We saw a total of 2 employees at the sandwich making section and at the register, who did not greet us when we walked in, this is including 4 gentleman: one behind the wine tasting bar and 2 outside of it with 5-6 bottles of wine that appeared to be rose's and white wines. They were each talking to each other as we browsed each of the wine isle's. Still not a peep. We browsed for a minute, and after deciding not to order a glass wine or buy the cheese or chutneys on display we left. This was at 2:30 pm on a Thursday afternoon. I called the restaurant to address this to their manager, who was incredibly rude, talking over me when I explained that was our experience. He proceeded to tell me that they had just opened 3 days ago (today is 10/3), however my mother was at this establishment with a friend the previous Saturday, 9/28. I'm not sure why the manager was defending that terrible service after praising their training for their employees. Wow! Lastly, he said that he hopes that his employee behavior won't deter us from coming back. If your staff doesn't know how to greet customers as a part of their job, I won't be coming back. Word to the wise: you never know who is coming into your establishment, and for a new place opening I would expect better!
