Auburn Pasquale’s Ristorante

"We tried Auburn Pasquale’s for the first time. We had a party of six, and expected service to probably be slow, but our server proved us wrong. She was attentive, friendly and efficient. The appetizers were great. Four out of the six of us really enjoyed our main dishes, they were delicious. Two of us thought their pasta dishes were just OK. All in all, Auburn Pasquale’s is a great place for dinner. Conveniently located, friendly staff and clean establishment. Will definitely be back."

"I was greeted with a warm smile and seated right away for a table of one! There was a small cut of fresh flowers on the table which I looooove and ice cold water was brought out right away. My server came over shortly after that, grabbed me a soda (Mr. Pibb) and took my order within 4-6 minutes of me being seated. I ordered a small Caesar salad and seafood fettuccine. My salad was delicious! Fresh, crisp romaine and a healthy amount of Parmesan. It came with a gorgeous crostini but it was a bit too hard for my liking. The atmosphere is bright and open with wait staff that make eye contact and smile as they walk by helping others. I didn’t order any alcohol but they’ve got a gorgeous full bar with something for everyone I’m sure. Beer, wine and liquor. My empty plate was cleared from my table quickly. My waitress Samantha was very cool. Came to chat for a minute and told me a little history about the restaurant, which I loved. (Bit of a history nerd). She was attentive without making me feel smothered. She was knowledgable about the menu too which was lovely. My pasta was DELICIOUS! It is a healthy portion with 4 large prawns and 3 scallops cooked to buttery perfection. The pasta was Al dente just how I like it and there was plenty of sauce to soak up with my garlic bread. The sauce is creamy and well seasoned. It paired perfectly with the scallops and prawns. Overall, a great experience. They were very busy rightfully so yet I was still well taken care of. Will definitely be back :)"

"Did the double date night with some friends, one of which grew up in this area and remembers it from his childhood. Now, as I understand, this place was around for a very long time, but the owners retired. It closed, but has since been reopened by the owners daughter, did some renovation, but kept the recipes. The atmosphere is quite nice and gives a rustic feel, but is also open and inviting. There is a really nice outdoor eating area as well. Be forewarned, parking is a bit of a challenge as this is a busy area with other eateries and retail establishments. I had the gnocchi with Alfredo sauce. The flavor was really good and the gnocchi itself was perfectly cooked. It had a bite and wasn’t mushy at all. My better half ordered the the beef raviolis which he enjoyed every bit of. My buddy got his favorite shells and shrimp, which (according to him), is so good he gets it every time. His wife ordered a margarita pizza and enjoyed it as well… but I didn’t get to try it as I was devouring my own gnocchi. Lastly, you can add a salad to your entree (I didn’t as I can only eat small portions), but I had to add a photo because they are pretty good sized salads and are loaded with goodies. Overall, we’ll be back to this place and I recommend it for anyone who is looking for a good Italian place!"

"Let me premise this review with the fact that I've worked in the hospitality industry for eighteen years (the entirety of my working career). I have a significant understanding/appreciation of, and a deep love for restaurants; as well as the people who work in them. Pasquale's, the spiritual and literal successor of Pasquale T's, holds a profound place in my heart. I remember being excited whenever my parents asked if my sister and I wanted to eat out at Pasquale T's when we were growing up. The food reminds me of being a kid again. That is not to say the dishes lack elegance, far from it actually; everything I taste here is absolutely amazing, and brings me great joy. With that wordy mouthful out of my system, I would just like anyone and everyone to know this is a special place. The food is excellent. The people are courteous and kind, and I am so happy to be able to enjoy such a wonderful place. (The pictures are of the Seafood Fettucine and the Shredded Beef Raviolis. Both were out of this world and come with garlic bread. Sorry there isn't a picture of the garlic bread, I ate it all too fast)"

"We had a delightful evening at Pasquale’s Ristorante! Our group of 4 enjoyed a feast of flavors, with chicken fettuccine, succulent meatballs, a generously-sized salad (though the lettuce could be improved beyond iceberg), flavorful pesto fettuccine, mouthwatering lasagna, and the divine rigatoni alfredo ala prosciutto. Gina, our server, was exceptional, catering to every little request and ensuring our experience was top-notch. While we savored the food, there are some areas for improvement. We recommend swift greetings at the front door and prompt seating, as we had a bit of a wait. Pricing seemed a tad steep for the portion sizes, and some cooling adjustments indoors would be great. The kids' high chair design could be enhanced to prevent leaning, unlike the standard ones we're accustomed to. Also, keeping drinks refilled consistently would enhance the overall experience. Despite these minor notes, we had a fantastic time, thanks in large part to Gina's attentiveness. With a few tweaks, this place could be a true gem!"
