Pasta Blitz..Il Basilico
Italy Has Arrived... in Timonium!
410-453-6603
49 W. Aylesbury Road
(in the Superfresh Shopping Center)
Anna Di Pierno, Owner/Manager, prepares homemade pasta, bread and desserts daily in her restaurant that will leave you with the comfortable feeling as if you have dined in her home. Anna moved to Baltimore from Italy 7 years ago and her food will take you away to Italy without flying there. The comfortable surroundings and friendly service add to the ambiance. Her homemade pasta is incredible, not to mention the many pizzas and the homemade bread (baked every morning) that will have you thinking you were in Napoli, Italy, Anna's homeland. The calamari was light and tasty, dipped in marinara and it's Italian heaven! My homemade Pappardelle pasta with fresh broccoli and artichokes in a marinara sauce was one of the best pasta dishes I have had in this area. There are many styles of Veal, Chicken, Fish and other assorted pastas, including several Gnocchi dishes on the menu and all the dishes that our party sampled were incredible. In the mood for Fettuccine? Penne or Tortellini? The creative dishes at Pasta Blitz will not only satisfy but will have you craving more.
Along with Anna Di Pierno are Salvatore Di Pierno and partners Luigi Coppola and Rosaria Coppola; they all assist in making Pasta Blitz somewhere you will want to return to again and again. Authentic Italian cuisine, the way it was meant to be. Don't miss Anna's homemade desserts including Pastiera Napoletana, Tiramisu or Strudel, the perfect ending to your lunch or dinner. Buon appetito! (BYOB!)

Roy's Restaurant: Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine
410-659-0099
Roy's, located at 720 B Aliceanna Street in Downtown Baltimore, is one of my favorites. Chef Roy Yamaguchi founded Roy's Restaurants: there are now 30 throughout the United States, Japan and Guam. In addition, Yamaguchi hosted six seasons of a PBS Cooking Show shown on 300 stations across the United States. Roy's latest cookbook, "Roy's Fish and Seafood," is a perfect gift for any seafood lover. Yamaguchi's Hawaiian Fusion cuisine has won him the prestigious James Beard "Best Pacific Northwest Chef" award.
Bryson Keens, Managing Partner, runs the Baltimore operations and Rey Eugenio, Executive Chef Partner, works his magic in the kitchen, creating amazing, memorable dishes. When you visit Roy's you can't go wrong ordering any of the fresh seafood entrees that combine bold Asian spices and European sauces.
Begin your meal with the Crisped Lobster Potstickers, you may need two orders to share, as they are incredibly delicious. My son declared Roy's Wood Grilled Szechuan Spiced Baby Back Pork Ribs the "best he has ever had." My Blackened Ahi Tuna was fresh and so beautufully presented it was a masterpiece on the plate. The signature Hawaiian Martini, featuring SKYY Vodka, Stoli Vanil and Malibu Coconut Rum infused with fresh pineapple, makes every visit to Roy's
worthwhile. Don't forget to order the Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle' when you order your dinner as it takes time to create something that is that close to chocolate heaven. Make your reservations, treat someone special to an evening in "the islands"... right in Downtown Baltimore. |
