And I'm back! And you know it wouldn't be a full service trip to Baltimore without a trip to Chaps!…read moreMy husband and I made our usual stop and got our pit beef sandwich's and I swear every time it's better than we remember. This time we were also notably impressed by the fry's too; nice and crispy and didn't get soggy with a hefty amount of malt vinegar. The servings are big and a regular to a large is usually only a $1 difference... get the large! They were having a special on jerk chicken and my husband got a whole chicken which we took to go and snacked on the rest of the weekend; it was amazing! The lobby and dining space were also nice and clean, fully stocked, and had lots of seating. I love the indoor picnic tables and the condiment choices (I'm a sauce boss!). We then had our flight delayed... by a whole day! And after our general annoyance we realized we would get to squeeze in one more trip to Chaps, blessing in disguise. See you guys again sooner than later, we'll be thinking about you till then!

Yum! Glad we saw that this was a place to try in Baltimore!…read more Food: Loved the sauce bar with all the sauce options for your sandwiches, and my favorite sauce for my Pitt beef sandwich was the house sauce! So good! The Pitt beef was cooked medium rare (my request) and was very good! Loved the baked beans (have meat in them and green peppers and just had a good flavor! The fresh cut fries were also good! They also have pickles available too! Hubby enjoyed the triple d sandwich! Service: Service was excellent! The woman who took our order was great at answering questions and made sure we knew what we were ordering! They also have help staff in the dining room refilling condiments and wiping down tables. Also didn't take long for the food to be ready. Ambiance: Picnic tables, table and chairs as well as booth seating available. Not too large of a place but we found seats at noon on a Sunday!

The French toast's texture was good (not wet and soggy) and I'm glad they separated the walnuts into the syrup. Overall good food and there are seats to eat there.

First seeing the restaurant from the outside, it seems like nothing extraordinary, but once you…read morestep in you're hit with nothing but great smells & smiles on everyone in the restaurant. I had ordered ahead via Toast, grabbing a cheesesteak on a seeded roll with extra meat, onions and a light spread of mayo--assuming the seeded roll would be very crusty & rigid and need the spread to moisten it a bit. I was wrong! The roll housing the fillings was perfectly soft and able to contain all of the meat juices and cheese throughout the sandwich. I got a 9" small with extra meat assuming that's how they're presented on their social media page, and it's more than enough for one person. I'd recommend NOT getting extra meat unless you're coming with a huge appetite! I've never had a proper cheesesteak in my life until today. Truly deserving of the awards they've received. Will be back whenever in the area as a treat; gotta walk this current one off by the waterfront lol Thank you all at Frank's Pizza & Pasta for a great first experience!

I ordered the small cheesesteak, and even though the initial hype has died down a bit, it's still pretty popular because there was still a bit of a wait after ordering. The sub was a nice size, so I have no complaints about the portion. However, I felt like it was missing something when it came to flavor. It wasn't bad, but it just didn't have that extra seasoning or taste I was expecting. For $18 for a small cheesesteak, I was hoping to be wowed but it was just ok. Overall, it's worth trying if you're curious. I look forward to going back and trying their pizza and other menu items.

I finally got to try Pastore's, and I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu items!…read more On this visit, I ordered the chicken salad sub, which was one of the daily specials. When I say the sub was massive, I mean it--it easily made two meals. The chicken salad was chunky, meaty, and fresh. I personally would have liked just a little more seasoning, but it was still very good. The restaurant was clean, and they have tables if you want to dine in. The staff was professional, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. They also stocked with Italian specialties, including pastas, frozen food items, tomato sauces, and other authentic Italian goodies. Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

Great options for an authentic Italian market! In fact, I brought my in-law here for a sandwich a few years back, they were visiting from Italy, and thought the sandwich was very authentic to their markets in Italy. I love all of their holiday foods as well. We picked up a bunch of chocolate eggs and ingredients to make tiramisu for Easter. They even offer wine tastings on Saturdays! The people who work here are so kind and helpful!

I have been a longtime fan of the DiPasquales family businesses, from their classic Italian markets in Baltimore to their new speakeasy style restaurant, Forno. Living in the county, I have always known about Mastellone's but somehow forget that it delivers the same amazing quality as the more modern DiPasquales locations. I finally made the trip to grab a weekday lunch and could not have been happier with my subs. The shop sits along a busy stretch of Harford Road, so be ready to parallel park quickly or find a nearby side street and walk over. Inside, it is everything you want in a true old school Italian deli. No frills, just shelves full of authentic Italian groceries, a big cold case with sauces, side dishes, desserts, and even a solid wine selection to take home. I ordered the Old World Italian sub, made with sopressata, capicola, prosciutto, fontinella cheese, olive tapenade, tomato, and a drizzle of EVOO on a toasted fresh baked roll. It was absolute perfection. The meats were thinly sliced and perfectly layered so that every bite had the full mix of flavor and texture. Salty, a touch spicy, and incredibly satisfying. At twelve dollars, it is the ideal price point for a weekday lunch that feels like a treat. The staff could not have been nicer. They were friendly, efficient, and you can tell they take real pride in what they do. Overall, Mastellone's is everything you want in a neighborhood Italian deli and absolutely worth the trip for anyone chasing elite level hoagies.
