   Excellent food, friendly service. We were upstairs where it wasn’t very loud. We had eggplant parm, chicken parm, chicken Marsala and cheesecake. All delicious.

   The assistant servers need more training but the food was awesome.

   We should not have gone for our first visit for New Year’s Eve dinner. Wasn’t entirely happy with the limited specific menu that they had but was willing to give it a try. I had heard great things about this restaurant. We had 7:30 reservations, waited an extra 25 minutes to be seated. They said they were waiting on our table to be cleared upstairs, instead we were seated downstairs between two very large and noisy groups. Appetizers weren’t good at all. I did enjoy the creamy basil tomato soup & the ravioli I had. My husband had the salmon tartare & the lobster entrée. Both were very bland. We waited approximately 15 minutes between each course. Waiter only came to the table to deliver the food, he only asked once if we wanted another drink. We spent around $250 for the dinner & drinks. Definitely not worth it. The bathrooms were two plain white doors with no signs at all, I had to ask a worker where the bathrooms were even located.  Just extremely disappointing for our first visit. This was also our wedding anniversary dinner. Not sure if we will return or not.

   The GM Anthony came over and said Hi! That was great. We had a great experience. The food was very good.

   Have been wanting to try Trattoria Pasquale for some time and decided to go for NYE. After booking they announced that there would be a set menu for the night. No problem. Menu looked good. We requested a standard table but were seated upstairs at a high top table in the bar area. Still no problem. Our server was also one of the bartenders so he was doing double duty. Most, if not all, of the food was delivered by various staff and we had to ask for cutlery and salt & pepper. Food was pretty basic. The beef short ribs were bland but the Lobster Risotto had tons of lobster meat. Starters and dessert were also just OK. Dinner with a bottle of wine totaled $200 before tip! We will look forward to another visit on a night without a fixed menu.

   Menu didn’t match what was online. Food was very salty. We were supposed to be seated downstairs instead we were placed upstairs which was more like a bar atmosphere. I had confirmed this 3 times with the restaurant. Once via phone and twice via email.

   The gnocchi was good, but $10 extra for 4 pieces of shrimp is absolutely wild. The service was fine.They got my order wrong, took it away when I told them, and never clarified why or gave any compensation. Wasn't expecting any, but service wasn't really up to par for the experience

    We had a party of 4 for their "Big Night Event" where chef Luigi prepares a 7 course meal from a particular region in Italy. He explains the dish of origin as well as what you just ate after you eat it, so it was a bit adventurous! It was a fun and beautiful dinner and fun to go with family or friends.
