In 1914, an 18-year-old Luigi Di Pasquale Sr. opened a corner grocer in Highlandtown, Baltimore. Highlandtown at the time was a hotbed for Italian culture and Luigi Sr. strived to provide for his homesick paesano. Four generations later and the Di Pasquale family is still servicing the greater Baltimore area with the same mission; to feed and teach others about our Italian heritage. We have come a long way since the corner grocer and have now expanded to 4 locations, started a catering business, a restaurant and ship our specialty items throughout the country. We have been featured on the Food Network show “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” with Guy Fieri, The Travel Channel show “The Zimmern’s List” with Andrew Zimmern and were also given a section in Lidia Bastianich’s cookbook called “Lidia’s Italy in America: A Cookbook”.
Please come, bring your family, and enjoy what our family has been proud to share for over a century — the food, traditions, and spirit of Italy that started with Luigi Sr. in 1914. Every meal we serve is a reflection of our heritage and our love for bringing people together. From our family to yours, thank you for being part of our story — and welcome to the Di Pasquale’s family. Grazie for being part of our journey — we’re honored to serve you like family.
