"We plan on incorporating everything we love about Italian cuisine from all areas of Italy including several traditional Portalli family dishes," Biars said. "The goal is to create an Italian dining destination that will have enough originality and creativity for foodies, but will also be approachable for the casual diner or families looking for a fun night out."
Open on Thanksgiving : So many restaurants stay open for Thanksgiving these days it won't be possible for me to list them all. I will try to let you know, though, about the ones that are going to be open for the first time this year.
Kali's Court will be serving Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in its history - with a charitable twist. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Maryland Food Bank. The Fells Point restaurant plans to be open from noon to 6 p.m. to the public, then the owners will throw a party for employees. The staff will be asked to bring a can of food to donate to the food bank.
Kali's Thanksgiving menu at this point consists of four courses for $49.95, starting with an amuse. There are lots of choices, including turkey, bronzino, braised veal, lamb shank, filet mignon, and mushroom risotto. You can also request a vegan menu.
The Prime Rib (the Baltimore location, that is) will be open for the first time this year. In addition to its regular menu, you can get a three-course holiday meal for $39.95: soup or salad; roast turkey with stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce, creamed spinach and sweet potatoes; and pumpkin, pecan or apple pie for dessert. Kids under 12 eat for $17.95.
Both restaurants are taking reservations now.
Petit Louis in Roland Park will be serving Thanksgiving dinner for the first time this year. The menu hasn't been decided yet, but the hours most likely will be 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.
