Built For Baltimore.
Viale has been years in the making.
Our story started on Key Highway in South Baltimore, where we transformed an old gas station into our first restaurant. For three and a half years, we served Neapolitan pizza and Hawaiian-style shave ice to neighborhood families, friends — and even a few Orioles along the way.
For us, it's always been pretty simple: make really good food, take care of people, and make sure everyone has a good time.
Now, we're bringing everything we loved about that first chapter to Viale — our new year-round home in Hampden.
Why Viale?
Viale means "avenue" in Italian - a little nod to exactly where you'll find us.
Just off Chestnut Avenue in Hampden, which is one of Baltimore's best dining destinations.
Come hungry. Bring your people.
We’ll see you on the Avenue.
Meet the owners
KATE & MACK
Kate and Mack met back in 2017 at The Ottobar and quickly realized their mutual love of food. Mack, a Baltimore native, studied culinary arts in San Francisco before building a career in fine dining and traveling as a private chef in many locations around the world. Kate grew up in Virginia, just outside of D.C. and worked as a Dental Hygienist, but always wanted to step outside the norm and pursue a career in food. In 2023 they opened their first passion projects: Key Neapolitan by Verde and Crushed Velvet. Viale is their next chapter and continuation of everything they loved about both businesses.
