It was very busy and they took exceptional care of every table. They worked so hard to make sure everyone had amazing dining experience. Every single table around us as they laughed mentioned how great of an experience they had. We didn't know exactly what we wanted an AJ recommended the Zeus platter. It was phenomenal. It had everything you could imagine plus more. There was an amazing succulent pork souvlaki, a nice spice grilled sausage, fall off the bone but not mushy in anyway braised ribs, meatballs that were packed full of flavor, Greek rice and possibly the most fresh Greek salad I have ever had. We were treated to a nice table side flaming souvlaki show! Even though we are super stuffed we made room for dessert. We had the vanilla bean gelato and a pistachio cheesecake. We were not disappointed on either front. Come here this place is great.

So we were in a pasta mood and ordered the lasagna and the cannelloni. Sad news for the cannelloni: we felt they were flavorful, but too dry inside. Cannot recommend. The lasagna was very tasty, but for my liking it had very little cheese. We did eat all the portion though ;) it was flavorful. Italian cuisine varies from region to region, we were expecting a plate covered in bechamel for the cannelloni and there was none. So it did not meet expectations... but the pasta was good, home made, thin, and the sauces were flavorful... so a solid 3 stars for good quality. I do have to say that our waiter approached us to ask if all was to our liking, and only at the end did I disclose our disappointment... I didn't know what they could do to make it better...and we were so hungry we had already eaten half anyways... well in this they excelled as they comped our cannelloni and gave us a very good tiramisu to top it off! Definitely 5 star customer service! This is a local family owned restaurant that prides itself in having happy customers, and we are just passing by... nonetheless they really tried, and succeeded, in having us leave with a happy face. And that gives them a solid 4 star overall! Enjoy.

This was my second time going to Pasquales. Went for lunch and ordered:…read moreFrench Onion Soup Caesar Salad Bruschetta The bruschetta was great. Big chunks of bread covered in bruschetta. Really satisfying. French onion soup was the reason we returned (we don't live in Calgary). As good as I remember - broth is perfect, good amount of bread in the bowl, toasted cheese on top. Highly recommend. Caesar salad was meh. Lettuce/dressing tasted really watery. Skip it if you have high caesar salad expectations. **Edit to add pictures.

Though it's on the pricey side for lunch. My friend had the tiger rose pasta and it was amazing! The prawns are gigantic! I think she got at least 6. Not bad for $ 23(?). I got the flatbread she recommended. BBQ chicken. I would never had ordered this as I am not a huge fan of chicken on my pizza. We both finished our entire meals. Definitely would come back

The sauces that came with Arancini and Spring Rolls were really good and made both the items taste so good. The Spring Rolls weren't fried I believe so don't have that much crunch but still very good and appreciate the healthy unfried version of one of my favorite dishes. The linguine was very well cooked and with a lot of Mediterranean flavors and comes with a bread, which was alright (wish it was toasted and fresher)

We waited 25 minutes from receiving our drink before he took our food order, and we had to catch his attention for that. Then nothing. He didn't ask if our food was okay, didn't ask if we needed anything else, no offer of more wine, nothing. The menu said that all bread orders come with butter. We had to specially request the butter, again after working to get his attention, which he then told us we really didn't need. We also had to remind him to bring out the rest of our meal, which he had forgotten. He was completely indifferent, no token apology, nothing. And because of where we were seated, he had to walk past us to every other table, yet he still managed to forget we were there. We requested a new server, but by then we were almost finished our meal. I've been to France. The servers there are the best in the world. "F" was the worst. He really soured our experience. Would not go back.

We were greeted by a group of bartenders (who all happened to be wearing toques) when we walked in, and I felt both welcomed and slightly out of place (no toque). The cocktails were meticulously crafted--priced at $15-20 a drink, it's on par with bigger cities like Vancouver and Toronto, but they also live up to the standard. Honestly, the highlight of our visit to Missy's was the Missy's This That charcuterie board. Each piece of cured meat was sliced impossibly thin, the olives were meaty and delicious, and the cheeses were carefully selected to complement everything. I loved that it also came with a side of thick cut bread and pickled vegetables. One of the best charcuterie boards I've had at a restaurant for sure. Not cheap but worth the pretty penny on a slightly fancy night out.
