Delicious food, fun, lively atmosphere. Delicious looking desserts and authentic Italian espresso. Very nice & attentive staff. We were pleased with the overall experience. read more

It's been a long time but the last two times we went, at the original and subsequent locations, we waited a full hour for our food with no communication or explanation. I used to love this place in the 90s and the early 2000s but it would take a lot of convincing to make me go there and spend money again. read more

Excellent gnocchi with sausage & tomato's Great staff - good wine! When I'm back in Auburn - I'll definitely come by for a terrific meal read more

Great italian food! Nice ambiance and good service. They also have amazing desserts.

Expensive and we finished our very small dinner for $71. It took us a half an hour to get the check. We probably should've stood up and started to walk out. read more

It was lit fam. The food was way better than Olive Garden. The waiter was cool and other staff also checked on us as they walked by.

Marinara was just ok, they were out of meat sauce. Asked for a meat ball to compensate. But no. They upcharge on everything. My mom ask for Xtra sauce. They charged us extra for it. They did give me a scoop of spamoni for my birthday (reluctantly) Slow service. Very sorry Strings closed up. You got whole meal including salad/soup, bread. Their Spamoni was 3 generous scoops. Sadly not a lot to choose from in Auburn so will probably be back. But not anytime soon. read more

This is the first time I have been to Old Town Auburn. My family wanted to try out Pasquale's and we are very glad we did. We had the pizza and the Rigatoni and prosciutto dish. Both were delicious. The pizza crust was similar to my home made crust and the sauce was really good. The pasta dish was one of the best I have ever eaten. The server was vey nice, and let me taste a few of the wines. They were both very delicious. They had a good wine selection also. We will definitely be returning. read more

After experiencing a few misses here early on in, the last 2 visits have been wonderful. Auburn doesn't have many great restaurant options, so Pasquale's is often very busy as one of the few offering an upscale experience- Friday and Saturday nights reservations are a very good idea. Last night I made a late reservation by calling the restaurant due to nothing available in the online system- after being delighted to see they've upgraded to an online res system. The hostess was able to fit in my party of two later in the evening. Arriving 15 mins early, we were offered a seat at the bar for a drink while we waited for our table. The wine and beer selection is great and the bartender was friendly and chatty despite it being a full house. The ambiance is casual and inviting, the tables spread nicely throughout an open space. I ordered salmon- which was fresh and perfect and cooked as I requested. Dining partner ordered the risotto with scallops- reported to be slightly over cooked (they're finicky little things) but still very good. The service was great. The whole experience was about 1.5 hours as we lingered a while after dinner, finishing drinks and enjoying the space. Now that the ease of reservation making has improved, I'm sure we'll be back here more often. read more

We make a trek over here from Cameron Park at least once a month. Food and service are both excellent. I could survive off their marinara alone. Highly recommend the eggplant parmigiana! read more

Great food great service. I just recommend getting there early for a table. Brought a pizza home after our lunch for dinner outstanding pizza. Best I've had in years. For lunch, I had the hot pastrami sandwich and my husband had the spaghetti and meatballs both were very delicious. Highly recommend read more

Our first visit. Party of four. Seated promptly. Water proffered immediately. We were served by Jason. Each of us had a different entree and requested small modifications which were accommodated without problem. Each of the dishes were served hot and at the same time. The portions are just right. We all shared calamari which was excellent - crisp and hot. Two of us had the beet salad which was enjoyed very much. Two of us had Caesar salads which were disappointing. The romaine lettuce was not crisp and the dressing was pretty nondescript. My wife had Chicken Picata which was over sauced. The garlic bread was also oily so not too enjoyable. On balance, although the service was a little slow, Jason was attentive and did a great job, and the food is generally good. The ambiance is pleasant but the acoustics need some work. This restaurant is worth a try if you are in the Old Town section of Auburn. read more

Great customer service, we had lunch, bruschetta, chicken Parmesan & a meatball sandwich, both were amazing, bartender was helpful with wine selection & on point, love the upscale Italian bistro style & the Italian music (Rat Pack etc) great ambiance! We will be back to sample dinner menu very soon! read more

My family and I had an incredible experience dining at Pasquale's last week! We are thrilled to have them back in Auburn! A+ to the ambiance, food, drinks, and service. We dined on the Bruschetta , Chicken Parm, Rigatoni with meat sauce, Garlic bread, Minestrone, Flourless chocolate cake, Wine + Beer (always nice to see Auburns local beers on tap!). Everything we ate was very flavorful and delicious! I highly recommend the Bruschetta! 10/10! read more

A little too noisy for my taste. Had a booth thinking it would be quieter. Could barely hear my friend across the table. There was a gregarious group of women directly behind our booth. Glad they were having a good time, unfortunately we suffered. Ordered a pizza expecting Pasquale T pizza I remembered...not so. Didn't care for the crust at all and it was way too salty...going back to Old Town Pizza in the future when we want pizza. My husband did enjoy his spaghetti with meat sauce. read more

loved the food, service and location. will be back. and. it's expensive. so we will take it easy on the number of visits

I got a pizza, it came out 10 minutes after everyone else's food and then the sausage was burnt to the crisp, the pizza was practically wet with oil. read more

We stopped in around 8pm on a Saturday night. The vibe was great! We were quickly greeted not only by the hostess but the amazing crew behind the bar. We opted to sit at the bar. Every single employe was hustling! The wine was great, the service was fantastic, and the food was SO good! I opted for the Barbera to drink. For dinner it was pesto cheese raviolis for my husband - I went for the lobster ravioli! Wow! The creamy tomato sauce was perfect! Not a single bite left! The company at the bar made the evening wonderful. Go have dinner, you'll enjoy it! read more

So happy to have a really good restaurant in Auburn! The atmosphere is great! I love the old brick! We had a genuine happy friendly server that made our experience even better. The food is top of the top Italian food around! Highly rated here! Must try! read more

I will try again, but this is not the old Pasquale's. Very slow service, food is ok. Love the atmosphere. We will return once they get the kinks out. read more

So glad Pasquale's has returned to Auburn. Having been there three times, we have not been disappointed. Best eggplant parmesan - covered in a terrific Marinara sauce and just the right amount of cheese. I asked for a substitution and they gladly accommodated. Some of the best garlic bread - if you like garlic!!! And the small Caesar salad was more than enough for my husband and me to share - and dressed just the way we like it - generously, but not swimming! read more

Welcome back to Auburn, it's been far too long!! We decided to try the 'new' Pasquale's returning to old Auburn in the once famous Bootlegger's Restaurant. We got there early and loved the changes that had been made, very upscale with great staff members and wonderful food items, some of which were from the original menu. Prices were right in line with all the nice restaurants in Auburn and portion sizes were adequate. We enjoyed our meal outside on the patio with nice background music playing both inside and outside. This is going to be such a big hit in Auburn and we will be going quite often. Congrads and looking forward to many good meals in the future. read more

I recently dined at Pasquale's and unfortunately, the customer service left much to be desired. The waiter's rudeness was disappointing and significantly impacted the overall experience. read more

Wish I had taken photos, everything was delicious. Party of 10 on a Friday night and reservations afforded us seating in a very few minutes. We all ordered different items and a few appetizers to start our meal. Everyone raved about their food and would definitely order it again. Our server was delightful and accommodating, the room was full and people were enjoying themselves. This was our third visit to this downtown Auburn gem and look forward to eating here again. read more

Had a wonderful time. The gelato specialist/ hostess Giorgia was amazing. Truly made me feel like I was in Italy. Her Italian charm was like no other. A true authentic. Will be coming back along as she's working 10/10. read more

Checked out this place to support a local Auburn restaurant, as Auburn struggles to bring in real good food. Total disappointment (giving 2 stars instead of 1 because our waitress was nice). First of all, we waited 10 mins for the hostess to finish her call. No acknowledgement whatsoever - completely clueless. Ordered meatballs, caesar salad and spaghetti with meat sauce. Sauce for meatballs and meat sauce were the same and so blah - definitely came from a can or jar. The ceesar salad was fine, but nothing special. Meatballs came, but no plates or silverware (we had to ask our clueless hostess for some!). We were not offered fresh cracked pepper or freshly grated parmesan cheese. Not really sure anything is fresh from this joint. We were hoping/ praying that a good restaurant would finally arrive in Auburn. No such luck. Our hands down favorite places for Italian are: Newcastle Pizza for meatballs and pizza. Vaiano in Granite Bay for true authentic Italian. Every dish, every red sauce tastes different and made fresh from scratch at Vaiano. No jars, no canned anything. And, the service at both Vaiano and Newcastle Pizza are hard to beat. Will I try this place again - NOPE. Not even worth wasting any more time, effort and money. read more

We had dinner with our adult children here last night , it was completely delightful. Our food was delicious! Service was friendly and very attentive. The portions were large we had four boxes to take home with us for leftovers. All in all it was a wonderful experience and a great meal, we will be back. Thanks Pasquale's!! read more

Last night we went to Pasquale's in Auburn. The older blonde bartender that served us was completely unfriendly and unwelcoming. As soon as another couple was seated she took our menus for them. The rest of the experience was excellent. The food and table service was outstanding! It would be a five star review if not for the initial bartender. read more

Pasquale's is back!! Location is awesome in old town Auburn, the food is good and the portions are huge. The antipasto salad is legendary and the blue cheese dressing on point. I love the hot garlic bread dipped in the meatballs with tomato sauce. Solid Italian fare and a really great evening! read more

Food was fabulous! I had the lobster ravioli! Hubby had Salmon. Delicious! Friendly staff. Can't wait to go back! read more

Service was wonderful, food was fantastic, and the ambiance was perfect! Can't wait to go back again.. and again!

We picked up a To Go order today. First time in, and we tried a little sampling. The pasta, Rigatoni Alfredo Ala Prosciutto, a Meatball sandwich, and a super salad with meat and cheeses. EVERY item was GREAT! When I went to pick up the order, I could not leave without a dessert from the glass cabinet! A classic cheesecake and Taramisu. Wish I had taken pic's before diving in. But we couldn't have asked for a better meal, even to go! read more

New Year's Eve Eve - there was a 1/2 hour wait, which we gladly took and strolled around the favorite spots of Old Town Auburn. We got to sit outside under the heaters and that was fully enjoyable. Service was good. (aside from the bit over rushed buser who practically threw down my husbands salad on the table) - oops! Food - tasty. NOT all that great of portions. Especially when you consider the cost. Our family will usually eat out and be stuffed at $100. This bill came closer to $200 and we had to re-feed the kids when we got home. Beautiful ambiance. Overall fine, but definitely won't be taking the whole family back any time soon. (unfortunately) read more

Food is excellent. Be patient with the new staff. They are working hard and a lot of people are coming.
