TLDR:
Amazing
Italian
eats
with
a
well
stocked
Italian
market.
Come
for
the
italian
hoagies
and
pizza.
Vibe:
5/5.
Di
Pasquale's
latest
location
in
Brewers
Hill
is
definitely
an
upgrade
from
their
humble
Highlandtown
location.
The
market
is
broken
up
into
2
sections,
the
grocery
market
on
the
left
and
the
sit
down
full
service
restaurant
on
the
right.
The
market
is
sprawling
and
has
everything
you
could
ever
want
from
an
Italian
market.
From
pasta,
to
frozen
house
made
sauces,
to
cold
deli
salads
to
alcohol,
it's
a
foodie
destination!
For
the
restaurant
portion,
the
dining
area
sits
off
to
the
side
of
the
market,
giving
it
a
bistro
vibe.
There
are
several
4
top
tables
that
can
be
pushed
together
to
accommodate
larger
groups.
Simple
yet
clean
decor,
nothing
to
complain
about!
Service:
5\5.
The
staff
at
Di
Pasquale's
were
fantastic.
We
went
for
a
weekday
night
dinner
and
were
seated
immediately.
Our
waitress
did
a
fantastic
job
explaining
the
menu
and
helping
us
make
a
few
hard
choices
(the
menu
is
huge!).
Bonus
points
for
our
waitress
bringing
us
a
whole
carafe
of
iced
tea,
as
it
was
a
hot
day
outside
and
several
rounds
of
fresh
brewed
iced
tea
was
exactly
what
we
needed.
Overall,
the
service
was
super
friendly,
quick
and
very
helpful.
Food:
5/5.
Hands
down,
some
of
the
best
Italian
eats
in
Baltimore.
On
our
visit,
we
went
with
the
Old
World
and
Tuna
Diavolo
hoagies
and
a
Briella
Piccante
pizza.
Both
subs
were
well
made,
stacked
moderately
high
of
meats
and
cheese.
The
flavor
combos
of
both
subs
worked
amazingly
well,
both
having
fresh
pickled
hots
from
the
deli
that
just
make
the
sandwich.
Bread
is
also
made
in
house,
having
a
nice
chew
and
structure
to
hold
up
against
and
sort
of
toppings.
The
pizza
was
also
very
tasty.
The
Briella
Piccante
was
a
Neapolitan
red
sauce
pizza
that
had
spicy
soppresseta,
mozzarella
cheese
curds
and
green
olives
as
the
toppings.
The
combo
of
spicy
meat,
creamy
cheese
curds
and
briney
olives
worked
wonderfully.
The
pizza
dough
is
very
thin,
with
a
nice
solid
crunch
with
every
bite
(no
flop).
Pizza
size
is
approximately
10",
so
the
perfect
size
to
share
if
ordering
other
items
or
for
1
person.
Since
no
Italian
meal
is
complete
without
dessert,
we
opted
to
order
some
of
their
fresh
made
pistachio
gelato,
chocolate
dipped
cannoli
and
the
fried
dough
with
Nutella.
Di
Pasquale's
cannoli
game
was
on
point.
Generous
cream
filling
with
a
crunchy
outer
shell
that
was
dipped
in
chocolate.
The
pistachio
gelato
was
also
a
winner,
including
huge
pieces
of
pistachio
in
every
bite.
The
fried
dough
was
reminiscent
of
a
funnel
cake,
but
without
the
crunch
which
is
my
favorite
part.
However,
the
Nutella
sauce
was
a
nice
touch
for
dipping.
Overall,
our
entire
meal
cost
around
$65
which
is
more
than
reasonable
considering
the
amount
of
food
we
ordered.
If
you
are
looking
for
a
casual
Italian
meal
for
both
lunch
and
dinner,
I
highly
suggest
stopping
by
Di
Pasquale's
for
a
bite!
