I had heard of Di Pasquale's, but figured an Italian joint in Highlandtown (not in Little Italy) couldn't be that good. I was wrong.

I've only been there once and can't wait to go back again. I ended up getting the full size meatball sub. It was less a sub, and more a bread cave filled with meat. It has since been dubbed the meat cave. I'm not normally a fan a meatballs as they're usually bland hunk'o'meat, and the sauce usually served in a sub is a boring marinara from a can. These meatballs had a great flavor and the sauce was to die for. I know I should try something else when I go back, but I'm not sure I can make myself do it.

The other folks in the party got some sandwich with pastrami and cole slaw on it. I can't remember the name of it, but they raved about it for the rest of the weekend.

As an aside, they also have Absinthe. I thought it was illeagal, but apparently not anymore. I can't wait to try it...
