The only thing more authentic than the food were the servers. Super genuine, friendly, professional. Every dish was a hit.

Pasquale's is an intimate Italian gem on Main Street in Norwalk. It's a place where the regulars go, and the wait staff knows your name and your favorite order. I had the pear and gorgonzola salad and Italian bread with dipping oil to start. We tried the eggplant rollatini, which was delicious and cheesy. The red sauce is well balanced. I had the chicken parmesan, it was perfectly prepared with thinly sliced chicken cutlets served with penne pasta and red sauce. We shared the ricotta cheesecake, tiramisu, and chocolate Mousse cake. The chocolate cake was creamy and decadent, one of the best I've ever eaten. Service is attentive and accommodating. Restaurant is small, not crowded or noisy. I love Pasquale's and can't wait to return.

Loved this place. Originally from Canada but my grandfather and I were staying in Norwalk for an event. We decided to try this place for dinner. Excellent service, excellent food, and it felt like we were stepping into Nonna's house. I had gnocchi bolognese, my grandfather had salmon and we both practically licked our plates clean. Excellent portion sizes, and the oil they serve with the bread is to die for! They let me buy some to take home because I'm officially obsessed. 10/10 highly recommend.

This gem of a restaurant in Norwalk can easily holds its own compared to most four star Manhattan Italian restaurants. Notably, their prices are half of those in Manhattan.
Their veal is superb. Pasta dishes are outstanding. Very fresh seafood. A highly experienced staff, most of whom have worked there for 20+ years.
This is as good as it gets.

Rocked up after 12 hours on a boat fishing for tuna. Restaurant staff was super friendly and gave us a great table. Food was absolutely delicious, stand out being the steak with pepper sauce. Great Negroni as well.

Top notch food and outstanding service( shout out to Manny)! Everything we had was delicious.
Greeted with kindness from the hosts and owner the moment we walked in, great service from our server Stephanie during our meal, and a great dinner where everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Look forward to visiting again soon.

We drove by this restaurant for many years but finally decided to try it. It’s a small restaurant that reminds you of family. The waiters provided excellent service. We had fresh bread to start. I ordered the shrimp appetizer and y husband ordered a salad to start both were very good. I asked them to make me chicken Sorrentina (they have veal sorrentina on the menu) and my husband had the squid ink linguine.the dishes were both very good. We had the tartufo and cappuccino for dessert both were excellent. We will definitely return. The restaurant was busy so I believe they have customers that are returning loyal customers.

I really wanted to love this place. My son and I were seeing a show. I wanted Italian. Went here based on reviews. Walking in we were ignored by multiple staff members before being seated. It was not busy yet. Took forever to take our order. Calamari was soggy and a very small portion. Chicken dishes had a tablespoon of sauce over the edge of a cutlet. We received one brocolli piece. One carrot slice. One slice of a potato like a steak cut French fry and 6 green beans. And we were definitely treated differently than other customers... I'm assuming based on the fact that we didn't have reservations and my son went in with a hat. Tables are very close together and wait staff bumped into tables. I don't mind close tables, but I do mind the service and quality of dishes I order. I will not go back.
