Had heard many great things about this restaurant but it did not live up to the hype/ The service was so so - the staff did not seem like they wanted to be there. The food was was overpriced for the quality of what was...served. There are much better Italian restaurants in the areaMore

Went with the family of 9 for a celebration. Food was good but the service left a lot to be desired. Our waiter seems to be annoyed when we asked questions, had to look for him during the meal, all the waiters seemed to be...hassled and stressed--maybe not enough staff for a full restaurant? I expect more for these prices.More

We had stopped going to Pasquale's a few years ago mainly because the restaurant had no "personality". Waitstaff never smiled or greeted diners pleasantly if at all. We were there recently when friends chose the location and our experience was absolutely awful. Our waiter was...brusque to the point of being rude. We were a group of 8, so that shouldn't have been too overwhelming. When my veal piccata entree was served, the 3 pieces of meat were slightly larger than 1 1/2' in diameter (they were not veal medallions) and no attempt was made to place them so that they overlapped or looked appetizing. The waiter told me that's just a result of pounding the veal. Funny, it isn't served like that in better restaurants in our area. We will NOT visit Pasquale's Osteria again.More

Our friends took us to Pasquale’s since this was their favorite restaurant in the area. I could understand why they liked it so well! The owner gave us a warm welcome. The salad had large pieces of Parmesan cheese. I had the Vodka Penne which...was so tasty and a very large portion. Service was excellent.More

Pasquale’s has been a go-to staple for our family for as long as I can remember. From special events to just a classic night out for dinner, you can’t go wrong. Food is top notch and the wait staff is beyond friendly. Highly recommend!!

One of my go to Italian Restaurants in the Stamford/Norwalk area. Pasquale's menu items are always delicious and he and his staff's willingness to allow for off menu choices is a great asset. His pasta is always fresh and cooked to perfection. Some of my...favorites are the Roasted Beet Salad for starters and the Chicken Martini. Although I have never chosen anything that I did not enjoy. The wait staff are always friendly and polite and don't be surprised when you get to say hello to Pasquale when he has a chance to come out from the kitchen and greet his guests. Nice selections of wines as well. I always look forward to visiting!More

Pasquale's Osteria offers great food and great service. Not only one of the best restaurants in Norwalk, but in Fairfield County. One of my favorite dishes is the Veal Sicilian. There is always a friendly welcome. Wonderful for a "date night" or business meeting.

Nice people. Decent food. They even made an eggplant parm for me, which was not on the menu. Service was quick. I would have liked the caesar salad with fewer slices of cheese on top but all the food was good. To me, that's 3...1/2 stars but you have to choose 3 or 4.More

The food and service in this restaurant is excellent. I ate the cavatelli aurora to start, which was followed by the veal piccata. My wife had the veal pizzaiola. The veal was outstanding. For dessert we had the tartufo, which was also excellent. The service...was excellent and the wine prices reasonable. There is ample parking in the rear. Pasquale, the owner and chef, was very personable. We will return again.More
