Although you'll find a small seating area, Di Pasquale is not truly a restaurant. At heart, it's a gourmet grocery store and deli that specializes in Italian fare. Tempt your taste buds with a slice of Vegetarian Lasagna or the Stuffed Shells. For an extra treat, consider buying a bottle of red wine. A long wine list and wide selection of specialty liquors are offered here. Prices at this Highlandtown favorite are reasonable.
