Solid, traditional Italian dining. Dessert was terrific. Overall, it was decent and we were happy with our visit and plan on going back again.

We visited in on a Friday night in September 2023. While we didn’t have a reservation, we were seated quickly, and the service was very friendly and prompt.Unfortunately, the food of Pasquales is at a price point that demands a higher quality than what is being delivered. We left the meal feeling disappointed with the dishes we ordered, due to a lack of flavour. Had the price point been less, then meal would have been tolerable. However, at over $100+ for two individuals (before tip), I cannot recommend dining here.

Food and wine were amazing. Busy place so don't expect to be seated right away even with a reservation. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Took 45 minutes to get our dinner after our appetizers and the rack of lamb was definitely sitting under a heat lamp for a while as the 2 outside pieces were overcooked. Other than the wait for our dinner and the overcooked lamb, it was enjoyable. Parking was terrible as I think patrons from other restaurants were using Pasquales parking.

Took a friend to Pasqualies for her birthday and it may turn out to be her new favourite restaurant. It was our first time back to Pasquale's in quite a while and were pleased to find it just as good as we remembered. That's rare! We'll be back!

Not great and overrated, the quality of the food was mediocre at best (I'm trying to be kind..) Redesign the menu and start over would be my advice, your competitors aren't much better but is that an excuse to keep doing the bare minimum?

Nina was an outstanding server, the ambiance was wonderful. Best escargot we have had in Calgary, amazing food - 7 in our party & rave reviews all around. We will definitely be back... our new Italian favourite

Overall was a good dining experience. The only issue was the fact that other customers who were seated after us were being served their main coarse well before us and by the time we received ours they were already done. when i did receive my lamb dish it was over cooked and the sauce on the vegetables seemed to have hardened which would leave me to believe it had sat awhile before being brought out to us, My wife's dish on the other hand was enjoyed by her and I must say the appetizer was amazing.

Very busy on Valentine's Day. But service was still excellent. Caesar salad was good. Veal dish and Penne pasta dish were both excellent. House wine was good. Tiramisu and mud pie for dessert were also excellent. We really like that place. We go back frequently.
Just wanted to mention the excellent lunch my friend and I enjoyed today (February 9th). When I phoned to make reservations, I also inquired about a plugin for my portable oxygen machine. They were able to accommodate my request. As soon as we walked in Nina took us to our table and she plugged my charger in. She was also our server and was so friendly. Wonderful place to have lunch or dinner. Many thanks for being so helpful.
