Gunther & Co. is great for brunch or dinner. With a local/farm sourced menu that is always changing, you can’t go wrong. And it’s not uncommon for you to see the owners in behind the bar or in the kitchen.

Great Italian food and grocery. I love the pizza and the sandwiches. While it’s no longer located at its previous historic Highlandtown location, DiPasquale’s continues to live up to it 100 plus year reputation.
