Reviews Pasqualino

FOOD:
We had come here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon at around 12:15 pm. I had settled on the Veal Sandwich & Garden Salad Meal (although I was told I could have the Caesar Salad instead; $18.00), while my mother had settled on the Margharita Pizza ($19.00). We were first served a small plate of fresh bread, which tasted marvellous, very fresh, with just the perfect texture, alongside a plate of oil and vinegar mixed together. When I had dipped the bread into the oil and vinegar mixture, it was pure heaven, absolutely delicious!

In terms of my Veal Sandwich & Caesar Salad, I was beyond impressed with how delicious everything tasted. I had asked for no peppers on my sandwich however, I was disappointed to note that there were olives on there (which I didn’t like however, wasn’t told they would be on there). I took the olives off, and bit into the sandwich, which tasted wonderful! The veal was very tender, with melted cheese, and a pesto-type of paste spread on both sides of the bread. The bread was crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside, with just the perfect flavouring with the veal and cheese. I loved every bite of this sandwich, with my mother agreeing on how delicious it tasted.

When I had noticed my Caesar Salad, I was confused as to why there was a waffle-like item on the top of it. Then, when I took a piece of it, I realized it was crunchy cheese, which was meant to be broken-up and sprinkled on the top of the salad. Also, the salad was presented on the plate rolled-up, but when I had used my fork to smooth it down, it was a large portion-size, and tasted absolutely divine! It had a wonderful dressing on it, which wasn’t too creamy, and very tasty. One thing I noticed though was that there were no bacon bits, which was not too much of a problem as the salad was delicious without it.

My mother’s Margharita Pizza was also very delicious, with it being made very thin, with just the perfect amount of cheese and sauce, not too overpowering. It was also a very large pizza, with extra to take home. Overall, we were very impressed with how amazing everything tasted, and loved all of the food that we were given. I was able to tell that this food was homemade, with a lot of effort put into making it taste, and look perfect.

ATMOSPHERE:
When we had walked-into this restaurant, we were amazed at how beautiful it looked; from the pictures on the walls, to the light-fixtures, to the couches at the tables. Everything about this restaurant resembled elegance, and we felt as though we were royalty. Even the couch that I was sitting on at our table was diamond-studded, making me feel important! All of the decor was chic and modern, with a lot of room in-between all tables and chairs. The only thing was that it was very cold, with the temperature being a bit too low for the cold weather that we were experiencing outside at that time.

SERVICE:
We were greeted promptly once we had arrived at this restaurant, which made us happy to see such good service. However, the one thing that really disappointed us throughout our entire stay was the lack of prompt service as we dined. We were given our menus, and had to wait at least ten minutes before we were approached for our orders to be taken. The individual that came to take our orders didn’t apologize for the wait, and seemed to be rushed. We noticed that there was a large party taking place in the basement of the restaurant however, that shouldn’t have deterred from the rest of the restaurant being served promptly. It then took us a long time to get our bill once we were finished, something that shouldn’t have happened at a restaurant of this calibre. Overall, the service was definitely lacking during our stay, with no apology whatsoever.

COST:
1 Veal Sandwich & Caesar Salad Meal: $18.00 + 1 Margharita Pizza: $19.00: $37.00 + Tax = $41.81

WOULD YOU RETURN?
We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of this restaurant. However, we found the service to be horrible, and the food was a bit too expensive for just a weekday lunch.

Food is amazing, so is the ambience. All the servers are friendly and professional. I had the spicy linguine pasta which was delicious. Would go again!

This place is GORGEOUS. If you haven't seen it post-renovation I highly recommend checking it out. The food, wine and dessert are all top notch.

Fantastic Italian. This place will be expanding I've heard post Bahound House moving (was next door). Great seafood and pasta experience.

My husband and I went there on a Friday night and though service was slow, the food was absolutely incredible and well worth the wait! Everything was so fresh and tasty that I can't wait to go again and try something different.

Rather nice. The atmosphere was good, music was light jazz at good conversational volume. My wife got a chicken sandwich, I got a vegetable sanwich. We liked both sandwiches. Service was quick and polite. Price was a bit high but not unreasonable.

Enjoyed my time here. Overall food was great and staff very friendly. locals are known by first name here. which is nice.

i had the app platter, which was pretty expensive, but tasted great.

our mains were delicious.

loved it, not a cheap place for a weeknight out, but i would go back.

Great. I've had the opportunity of eating here several times and the food has always been very fresh and well prepared. Even when it gets busy, the chef still takes the time to make everything look and taste great.

Such good food. This is our favourite restaurant in town. My wife and I go here for all of our special occasions and just celebrated our 14th anniversary here last month. They take very good care of you here, and the food is second to none with some very unusual items on the menu. Cannot say enough about this place.

Yowza - Excellent food!. Our group celebrated our 1st anniversary here last night, and it was sublime! The food was phenomenal! One of the guys had the Elk, and it was truly excellent. I had a pasta dish with porcini mushrooms and scallops that was to DIE for. Seriously, it made my eyes roll back in my head. We had no complaints whatsoever about the food or the service. The portions were perfect - I was quite full but managed to eat it all (it was all I could do not to lick the plate... but that's probably too much information) and two of our group even had dessert, which looked wonderful (they said it was) but I couldn't manage another bite. Our waiter, Frank, was very nice, and even took our picture for us.

The four of us would definitely recommend Pasqualino's to anyone wanting a fantastic meal, and we will definitely come here again. YUM.

Hosted an engagement dinner which was a success. The staff was very accommodating to my requests. Reserved the wine cellar to host my event. I was able to bring in my own decor. The team worked with me every step of the way. The day of the event the server was amazing. He was communicative with me and attentive throughout the event. Would definitely recommend. The food was amazing. All my guest were thrilled with the menu options, food and service. Their set menu begins at $55 and goes to over $100 per person. They also have a great holiday setup outside if you want to capture a special holiday moment to share on social.

I went on a summer day for lunch and sat on their patio. It was a nice, Good experience. Delicious food. A bit pricey but worth it. They pizza and the salmon were unforgettable.

Omg, this place is fantastic, it's like a fairytale land. They have a very nice setup great for friends gathering or romantic dinner. We had delicious meals as well, and the main course is very decent size however salads are a bit small. The service was good as well. We had so much fun. We were celebrating a birthday there and they had a unique way of singing happy birthday. We enjoyed every moment in this restaurant and we would love to come back many more times to try all the dishes on the menu.

A place that not only makes you feel like family, but feeds you like family. An incredible menu, Chef Dominic , Maria and family have been nothing but hospitable and genuine. Hands down, best Italian restaurant in Milton.
