Di Pasquale's Marketplace
Best Italian Market in Baltimore · MD
Highlandtown's Italian grocer since 1914
Di Pasquale's has been Baltimore's Italian market and deli since 1914, when Luigi Di Pasquale opened in Highlandtown. Still family-run, it stocks imported groceries, house-made mozzarella, and prepared foods, and its deli counter turns out the 'Real Italian' cold-cut sub that regulars line up for.
Part grocery, part lunch counter, part neighborhood clubhouse, Di Pasquale's — and its Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives fame — has made it a genuine East Baltimore institution for over a century.
