If you ever wanted to be Italian, then stop by DiPasquales for your baptism! Leave your diet home though!

Just visited Di Pasquale’s again yesterday with my wife, and we just love the atmosphere. We shopped and picked up a large super italian sandwich. We had good conversation with Joe about NFL Football. It was busy inside, but worth the trip from Frederick. A favorite destination for us when we are in Baltimore.

Di Pasquale’s, hands down, is the best market and deli in baltimore. Their only mistake was not marketing that amazing and cute staff member named Marcella. That would have gotten them more recognition and notoriety. But I’m sure you know the food speaks for itself

DiPasquales all the way!

There is no better sandwich to be had in Baltimore than DiPasquale’s Santino…Wonderful smells, food, deli. The bread, crusty, warm and fragrant…straight from the oven!

DiPasquale’s reminds me of the authentic Italian markets in places like Rome, Venice or Florence. They make the best foods, so fresh and worth the trip. I always try to take any visiting friends or relatives there to show my proud Italian heritage, right here in Baltimore.

best Tratoria style Italian deli and grocery in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Brick oven pizza, At least 5 different homemade soups daily and a variety of daily specials to go along with their homemade everything. All with an excellent variety of wines. The Italian soft drink beverage selections are unique. Then take the groceries home for your own creation.

Try the pizza constantino (named after my son). Quality ingredients + love for food = real Italian.

DiPasquale’s has grown by leaps and bounds with their unbeatable menu but still has that wonderful, local, neighborhood feel where everyone knows your name!! Fresh, authentic Italian delicacies.

DiPasquale’s has THE BEST brick oven pizza in Baltimore. Fresh real ingredients, proper thickness of the crust, and a savory sauce all fired perfectly leading to the sublime description–Palatable daily! You will never get tired of this pizza. Bonus–the Italian market has anything homemade of memory and breads to die for. Sit down dining in a friendly neighborhood atmosphere–go ahead and try to find a better experience!

Di Pasquale’s has been in my family since 1914, there is a reason we are still around!

DiPasquale’s is the best Italian restaurant and market in Baltimore! I’m there every Saturday either for lunch or to pick up a few groceries. Everything is made fresh, just like my grandma used to make.

Supanos is awesome in so many aspects. The meals are top notch and delectable. The ambiance is quaint yet progressive. The service is made personal. And Terry! What can be said about someone who is more than an owner. He is a consummate host, who makes everyone feel as though they are attending a “friends only” dining affair at him home. Supanos is an affair made special.
