Best Italian Market in Baltimore · Baltimore, MD
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.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Di Pasquale's Marketplace cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
