AlexC Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Baltimore-loving DR faithful, Through a strange twist of participant availability and geographic convenience, my entire extended family is meeting in Baltimore this May, to celebrate the 90th birthday of my grandfather. He's on old Jew from Southern Jersey and loves basic Italian cuisine -- lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, etc. So, I'm looking for the best spot for 15 of us to reserve a big table and give Grandpa a plate (or two) of what he loves. Thanks for the suggestions! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDawgBBall9 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Amicci's (website), Chiapparelli's and Sabatino's (website) in Little Italy would all be decent bets I'm guessing. Doesn't seem like Aldo's goes a more classic route with their menu. There's other restaurants in the area too that are easily able to be located but at a quick glance I didn't see any basic lasagnas/spaghettis etc on the menu but I very well could have missed them. Then if there's room- Vaccaro's for dessert. I haven't been to any of those restaurants in years or at all, but its a starting point to hold you over and see if anybody else pops in with anything within the next four months. (For extremely less formal occasions if this topic ever comes up again I might suggest Tutti Gusti in Canton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rieux Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've always liked amiccis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1000yregg Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 You could try Sammy's Trattoria near Hopkins as well. Della Notte is a big place that looks "fancy" but is pretty good. A few weeks ago, I went to Cafe Troia in Towson. It's pricey but good food, and great service by guys in tuxedos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 He's an old Jew from Southern Jersey and loves basic Italian cuisine -- lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, etc. Not sure why this made me chuckle, but it did. You *have* to go somewhere in Little Italy, and make sure (in advance) that the owner is there to fawn over him. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those meals you'll always remember. Get party hats! My parents would have been 90 this May, and damn I wish I had the chance to do this for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
