Polpette di melanzane
Kelly T.

I came here for my birthday dinner, and I was absolutely impressed! The staff was professional, pleasant, and on point. Everyone we dealt with was wonderful! The food was amazing. I only got pictures of 1/2 the food. Pasta was perfectly al dente, the eggplant fritters were perfectly fried and not greasy, the meatballs were top notch, and the espresso is one of the bests in the entire Tampa Bay Area. I know this spot has been around for a long time, but that was my first visit. It was such a good visit with tasty food and friendly staff that I will be back again and again!

I guess it's not a good idea to get chocolate mousse cake to go?  LoL

We were a bit disappointed. This was a set menu for Valentine's Day so the food overall should have been better. We b0th had spinach artichoke dip and tomato bisque. My wife had the blackened Mahi for an entree and I had the chimchurri steak. The artichoke dip was good. But the tomato bisque was terrible. We weren't the only ones to complain about how salty it was. No replacement or alternative was provided to replace either. The blackened Mahi was seasoned well, bit the rice was really mushy.., like it had been sitting or been cooked with too much water. My steak didn't have a cooking temperature option and when it came out it was actually lukewarm/cold. The mashed potatoes on the side were hot and seasoned well as were the veggies that came on the side. We ended up boxing most of it up to go. For dessert, they offered a chocolate mousse cake, a sponge cake with berry compote, and cannollis. Wife got the mousse cake to go and I got the sponge cake. When we got home, the mousse cake looked like it just dried up and was a blob of chocolate? My sponge cake was ok, but not anything to necessarily rave about. Overall, service was decent and our server tried to address everything. At the end of the day, the meal was definitely not worth the $85 per person. I would have been better off buying and cooking it all myself. We wanted to try it out though since it did look interesting, but our experience was definitely not stellar.

If you are in the mood for a home-cooked meal made with live, but are not in the mood to cook said meal, I would suggest eating at Trattoria Pasquale. Trattoria Pasquale offers the classic Italian dishes we all grew up with, like Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna and Fettuccine Bolognese, along with creative Italian options, like their Padellino Kampill, which boasts penne pasta, sautéed chicken, sautéed mushrooms & prosciutto tossed in a savory brandy sauce finished with truffle oil. Our party was pleasantly surprised with the flavors and the generous portions. If you ordered this food as takeout, re-plated it, and told me you spent all of Sunday preparing this Italian comfort food feast... I would be none the wiser. One thing worth noting: they tack on a mandatory 3.26% fee, regardless of party size, to offset credit card processing fees. If you want to avoid this additional charge, bring cash.

First time to Trattoria Pasquale did not disappoint! Our server was super friendly and helpful, and everything we ate was delicious. They were also kind enough to bring over a complimentary prosecco pour and dessert for our birthday girl! I tried the meatballs appetizer, the tiramisu, and the padellino kampill. I thought the meatballs were good, the tiramisu was fantastic, and the kampill was great! I'm not a huge pasta gal, but I thought it was cooked perfectly. My only critique was that I prefer chicken cooked differently - it seems like it was just bland, steamed chicken in the sauce, but I understand that the chicken isn't supposed to be the focus of the dish. Overall, really awesome experience and would definitely recommend!

Came here for happy hour and it was amazing. By far one of the few places that actually has a decent selection of food and drink items that are half off its original prices. The server was great and we had a short conversation with the manager on future catering events. The seating is spaced out enough to provide some privacy, but the happy hour is only available from the bar. Food: most of the happy hour food was very photo friendly and tasty to boot. Highly recommend the charcuterie board, it had a nice diverse plate of meats, cheese, and sours. Drinks: drink em all, not too weak and not strong. Great vibes with friends after work or a date.

This is the frozen cake they serve for $12/ slice. You can purchase the whole in a grocery store for $15.

Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We came because we wanted to try a new restaurant and it had good reviews. The food was presented well but tasted average. The disappointment was when ordering my favorite dessert; lemoncello cake. I recognized it immediately because we purchased a whole one of these in a local grocery store. $12 for a slice of frozen cake is unacceptable in a restaurant that claims fresh food. It certainly makes you wonder if the meals were made in house.

Date night was awesome at Trattoria Pasquale! I made reservation for Friday evening and was immediately seated once I checked in. Our server was so nice, attentive to my allergies and was able to customize an entree for me that wasn't on the menu. We asked about popular dishes and drinks and she was so nice in sharing. Our calamari was salty and our server was quick in having it re cooked along with the manager coming over and apologizing. Our entrees were very good, seasoned and flavorful. Authentic Italian for sure!

Padellino Kampill

Made a reservation here for a party of 7 on a Friday night and it was absolutely fantastic! I'm not someone who usually LOVES Italian food, but this place exceeded my expectations! I split the Padellino Kampill, Gnocchi, and a pitcher of sangria. The waiter recommended the gnocchi and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly creamy, and lighter than most dishes. The padellino kampill was packed with sausage and tons of flavor. The sangria was good however it was more juice like than what I wanted. If I had to pick one dish to order again, it would definitely be the gnocchi. My favorite touch to the entire experience was the chalk board sign they placed on the table with our party's name on it. If you're looking for a local Italian place to support post hurricane flooding, Id highly recommends! Their rebuild inside looks wonderful :)

Been coming to this place ever since they opened. Not sure what happened but yesterday we sent food back for the first time. Twice. The calamari was burnt. We sent it back. Came back burnt again. We were told that we were not used to their batter. It was burnt. Tasted burnt. Looked burnt. Bar staff was super nice and friendly, but clearly did not know what to say. Never heard from manager or anyone. We understand they overhauled their staff. It was our go-to night spot. Will try it again, but probably not for a long while. Maybe they will change their oil by then - next year.

We went for the "Big Night". First of all they are still recovering from the hurricane, the downstairs is closed for renovations. The menu was from a specific part of Italy. It was a 7 course dinner. The chef and owner Luigi was friendly and table touched every table. Every server and the bartender were wonderful. It was a big event, and we are planning on going back for the regular menu. The Big Night is a great date night event. The ambiance, customer service were top notch. The gentleman that explained the wine choices, was animated and truly enjoyed his job. Can't wait to go back. It's a drive for us, but it's worth the drive.

Came here on a Friday night and I would say the ambiance is pretty casual and the food was good and liked our server. The two pasta dishes that we ordered were good but nothing special about them. I did enjoy the tiramisu for dessert though. What I ordered: - Bruschetta alla Nado - Calamari Fritti - Caesar Salad - Farfalle Luigi - Nonna Tina Lasagna

Farfalle Luigi
Caroline M.

Yet again, another great experience. We ordered the calamari and mussels to start and I did like the meatballs because they were very cheesy. I will say the muscles had more of a red sauce than white wine, garlic sauce, so that was different but if you prefer that, then they were very good For my entrée I got the for Luigi pasta and it is absolutely amazing. It is a white sauce which is not normally what I go with but it's a lighter white sauce and it has spicy sausage broccolini and it just taste amazing

Right off the bat, I want to go back and give it another shot... it's in a great location, it's got a lot of space and potential... Lots of parking (thank goodness they don't offer or require valet!), the ambiance and decor is appealing, the host, Anthony, was super nice, friendly... in fact I thought he came with one of our group's friends, but no, he was just friendly and talkative. Service overall was very good. However, for this price point, the food should have been spectacular, a little more inclusive (as in, provide a veggie or side) and the hot foods should have been hot. The table ordered an antipasti, it had meats, cheese, green things that appeared like olives but were they? I only ate a few pieces of things, the cheese and meat were very good. Nothing else appealing about it. I ordered a Caesar salad. It was very good and a decent size. But $10 as a pre-meal/side salad? For an entree, I ordered the special, it was spinach and ricotta filled ravioli and covered (I should say smothered) in wagyu meat sauce. Served luke warm. It was good..not fabulous at $28 for about 8 thin pieces. (actually I'm not sure how many, I couldn't see it under the sauce). It was not hot. The ravioli/pasta were not home-made and the taste of the pasta was bland. Interestingly, as heated up leftovers, the meat sauce tasted better than it did fresh out of the kitchen, it still took over the flavor of the spinach/ricotta filling and the pasta still tasted bland. I also wanted a vegetable so I ordered the broccolini, did not come with the meal. It was not hot either, but at least the taste was there. I didn't taste the meatballs, I heard they were decent.. but they were not raved about. Also, someone ordered the panna cotta and passed it around.. It was pretty good, had like a cranberry compote or something on top. Not sure if that was seasonal but I liked it... I might even order it next time. The upstairs bar on a Saturday evening was dead. I expected to see more people up there... we dined downstairs and by the time we were leaving, the small bar there looked to be livening up. I want to give this place another shot, but I'm just not sure...

The CAPPELLACCI ALL'ARAGOSTA was also really delicious and flavorful so you can't go wrong with those two pasta dishes. They do have a separate dessert menu though. Just a heads up though it's like you're getting an authentic Italian dinner experience so don't expect to get in and out fast.

Wow - this definitely rises to the top tier of restaurants in the area that we would love to go back to on a future trip! Absolutely everything that we ordered was top-notch quality and delicious! We started by sharing the Arancini al Burro (see picture) along with the Toasted Gnocchi (see picture). Both looked great on the plate and were even better once dipped heavily in the sauce and tasted! For our main courses, my wife ordered the Casarecce "Rinaldi" (see picture) and my son and I shared the Veal Scaloppine Milanesa (see picture) with 3 added Large Meatballs (see picture). Richard, our server, recommended the additional meatballs and it was a great call.

It felt comfortable, elevated, and easy to enjoy a full meal without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. Our server was training someone, but you couldn't even tell--it was so professional. One thing I noticed was how many people work there, and I really hope it stays that way. Each staff member had a specific role, and it made the entire service feel seamless. There was no rushing and no stress on the servers. You could tell they really enjoyed what they were doing. They also offer complimentary valet, and you can even Venmo a tip, which made arrival and departure super easy. At the end of our meal, someone even came to box up our food for us--we didn't have to do it ourselves. Very old school NY!!! Top-tier service. As for the food: the oysters we had were flavorful, and the garlic bread selection was soft and not overly heavy on the garlic. My friend ordered the scallops with risotto and crispy prosciutto, and I ordered the special chicken Parmesan with a side of spaghetti in a lemon sauce that they suggested. I was in the mood for a lemon-flavored pasta, and they absolutely delivered. Both plates were phenomenal. I wish they had a place like this in Orlando. I also wish the chicken parm would always be a special because that sauce was delicious. Growing up in Brooklyn, I've had some really good Italian food--and I would absolutely come back here. I'd give service five stars and food five stars. Thank you for a great meal--you did not disappoint.

They had some yummy sounding salads and pizzas on the menu, but I had my heart set on the Tartufo pasta tossed tableside in their cheese wheel. However, when I asked for this item, I learned that it wasn't available in the cheese wheel and the dish could only be made in the kitchen that evening (without the tableside presentation, it didn't feel worth the $40+ price tag), so I opted for a rigatoni in a creamy sauce and ricotta cheesecake as a treat afterward. Everything was tasty, though I would have preferred a homemade ricotta cheesecake. My friend tried the lasagna and the tiramisu and she was happy with the taste and presentation of both. I loved that our table was available promptly at our reservation time, the restaurant was clean and inviting, the service was friendly, and they had complimentary valet service. Overall, we had a lovely night and I appreciate the service and experience.
