Chiapperelli's in Baltimore

Treasa and I met her mother, aunt, uncle, cousins, boyfriend and cousin’s coworker at Chipparelli’s in Baltimore’s Little Italy Saturday night to celebrate the aunt’s and ‘baby cousin’s’ birthdays. From the menu, I ordered the Pescatore Christopher, with Shrimp, clams, mussels, & calamari, marinara, linguine for $25. Treasa had the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken for $19. I’d tell you exactly what wines we had to accompany, but Chipparelli’s website doesn’t list their featured wines, and neither of us took notes. Our fault.

My taste in Italian food tends to incorporate a few spices, i.e. flavors into the food. Both of our meals did not feature much of either. Both of the wines were above average for the price, maybe. It should be noted that the Calamari Fritti appetizer, however, was pretty good. I added a little crushed red pepper to the marinara gravy, Treasa did not. The guys working the valet parking definitely deserved their gratuity.
