Pasqualone's Ristorante

A personal, phenomenal, authentic Italian experience. Walking through the door I was greeted warmly by the head chef and then was shown to my table. After being recited the specials by our water we order a few drinks and begin to make the impossible decision between the options, they all sound phenomenal! In the end I settle on the unsexy "veal loaf," but damn if it wasn't absolutely delicious! The blend of the stuffed veal was rich but delicious and the mushroom marsala sauce was decidant. Absolutely will return here, had an amazing first experience! Highly recommend!

The most intimate dining experience I've had in Columbus. Every single dish was incredible down to the very simple pre dinner salad. The menu includes much more than what is listed on the website. Reservation only is for a reason. We were greeted by the head chef when we walked in and the service was outstanding. There are about 10 tables in the dining room and we honestly forgot where we were for 2 hours. There is no Italian food quite like this in Columbus.

Don't judge a restaurant by its external appearance. The restaurant is in an odd little strip mall but once you enter the second door, it is a well decorated and updated, small restaurant. There are only about eight tables total in the place and about two staff members on the floor, so don't expect a big chain experience. This restaurant has delicious, homemade entrees, with a wonderfully personalized experience. Be prepared for a relaxed evening of deliciousness!

Columbus, this is Italian. Atmosphere is authentic… the music, liquor sitting out, decor, wine, etc. Food was excellent. The owner is genuine and service was great. We put our fate in Chris’s hands and he selected our entire meal from wine to dessert. Did not disappoint.

This is a truly remarkable restaurant with fantastic food and excellent service! I reserved a table for 4 by calling their phone and leaving a voicemail. I also sent a message via their web site. Later the same day the owner/chef, David, called me back and also replied to my mail confirming the reservation. Very nice personal touch! I immediately liked the place even before eating there. When I arrived with my family, David personally met and greeted us, stepping out from his kitchen. We then were seated in a cozy room, and got introduced to a vast variety of day's special meals by a gentleman who knew all these dishes by hart. By the time he finished describing all the dishes, we already forgot half of them! Then we were given menus and after consultations with the server we chose to order an antipasto (mixed meats, cheeses, tomatoes and olives), a lasagna, a veal loaf, and a fettuchini alfredo. Everything was superb: fresh and delicious! We tried each others' dishes and could not decide what was best - they all were fantastic! We also had a sorbet, a tiramisu, a cannoli and cappuccino for desert. In the end we were absolutely happy that we chose to visit Pasqualone's. We'll definitely come back soon!
