Reviews of Trattoria Pasquale
Scott Lawrence
This place is surprising.
Unassuming and situated close to a busy road, once inside the pleasant staff and excellent food will make you forget the location and very casual atmosphere. Although we are on the balcony, it felt like we were in Italy at a sidewalk diner.
The cocktails were great; we had a Local Nectar and Sicilian Hemingway. The bread and olive oil had meaty pieces of soft garlic and just the right herbs. The food was delicious and appropriately priced for the serving size (also very Italian,) allowing room for an appetizer and desert. The only thing we would add is our pasta puttanesca didn’t have capers.
Highly recommend.

This restaurant is my all time favorite for Italian. I could eat the sauce (gravy) all by itself. It is an hour away from where I live and worth going through downtown traffic. The food is outstanding. The restaurant itself is so cool. Bartenders are fantastic. I just love this place. The only negative is the parking situation, but we always manage to get a spot.

I'm a bit at a loss for words about this place so I'm only going to use one - Perfection!! The only picture I was able to take is of the meatball appetizer because once the rest of the food started coming, there was just no time for photography. We dug right in. The meatballs themselves were tender, the sauce was just right. The rest of everything else that we ordered was just excellent. Service is also above and beyond. You can tell the staff is well trained and actually care. I would recommend this place many times over for anyone that appreciated fine Italian food. Give them a try.

I LOVE this spot. So cozy and feels like a neighborhood Italian favorite! Okay now onto the food! They brought out bread and olive oil with some garlic and it was the perfect starter! Then we ordered the burrata because our waitress highly recommended it! OH MY GOODNESS it was HUGE! It was just my boyfriend and I and it was so much food for just us but delicious nonetheless! Then, onto our main courses. I had the gnocchi dish which was sooo creamy and delicious. The gnocchi was super fresh. I did have to add some red paper flakes to the dish but I love spice in all my dishes. My boyfriend ordered the Padellino Kampill. I tried some of his and MAN every bite was full of flavor! We could not finish our meals so we asked for to-go boxes. Even though we were STUFFED we HAD to try the Tiramisu. I mean, what is an Italian meal without a bit of dessert? Now, Tiramisu is my boyfriend's FAVORITE dessert so he's tried many in his time. He LOVED this Tiramisu. You MUST get it. It was so creamy and chocolatey and had a nice strong espresso flavor. We will definitely be returning here and I understand why people have voted Trattoria Pasquale the BEST Italian Restaurant in Tampa!
Kaitlyn Bertic
My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner and it was an amazing experience. I believe our server's name was Julio and he did and amazing job making us feel so welcome. When we got there our table was ready for us with a chalk board sign that said "Happy Anniversary" and a card on our table! We are already impressed and it only got better. Our server came over to congratulate us and make sure we were well informed about the menu options. I have been to restaurant where they are so personal and informational. While waiting for our appetizer they brought us a glass of complementary prosecco since we were celebrating! To start, we ordered the Calamari Fritti and it did not disappoint. It was crispy and very flavorful. I ordered the Padellino Kampill and my husband ordered the Gnocchi Italiana. Both dishes were delicious. The best Italian food we have experienced. For dessert we had Cannoli and again they we some of the best we've ever had. We will definitely be coming back!!!

Don’t ever confuse the outside setup of this place
The important things happen inside.
Great service, better food and ambiance.
The whole experience is great.
We had and amazing waiter and waitress all of them inviting to enjoy.
Service and Italian cuisine are the #1 priority.
I had the Melanesia e parmigiana and was absolutely incredible
The Burrata amazing
Great wine and the best friends around were helpful to enjoy a great Italian in Tampa.
Michelle Ortiz
I've now been here twice in the last 7 days and cannot say enough about the fantastic service. I highly recommend Gina, but all of the wait staff are friendly and go above and beyond to take care of you while you're there. The atmosphere shows pride of ownership and is comfy and simplistically elegant. The food is so good, as is the white sangria! Ihighly recommend their eggplant parmesan.The cannolis make me feel like I'm home in NY! This has become my favorite place to dine in South Tampa. Please get the bruschetta! Excellent! Anthony is such a gracious owner and host!

We had a really nice dinner here celebrating our anniversary. Our server Luigi was very attentive and friendly, the seafood was fresh and perfectly prepared. Pasta was delicious. We would return.
Tony Annenos
Dinner and service we're superb. We started with the Burata board and mussels. Both delicious. Than we ordered the ravioli with mushrooms and gnocchi. Some of the best food we've had in a while. Also huge shout-out to our waitress Kaitlyn G. Shes the besttt. Knowledgeable, sweet and made sure we had a great dinner.
Gracie Galan
This restaurant is so beautiful and has such an amazing atmosphere. I enjoyed eating here. My only complaint would be that the menu isn’t very vast, but the food was amazing! I ordered the ravioli and was so impressed. Their drinks are also great. We ordered the burrata appetizer which did not disappoint. The owner also came out at the end to check on us. Very sweet and family oriented!
Jennifer Vasile
Service was amazing. Justin helped us & made us feel so welcome. We had great conversations & AMAZING food. I would recommend if you’re a local, just passing through, or love Italian. 10/10 YES YES YES

Wonderful experience. The food was out of this world and service was great as well. Came in for a date night with my boyfriend and it was so awesome. We ordered the calamari for appetizer, boyfriend got the Linguine alle Vongole and the special seafood soup that they had (tomato base with a bunch of fish according to our waiter), and I got the Medaglioni Gigetto. We wanted to order the meatballs appetizer but they ran out, sadly.
The calamari was one of the best I’ve ever had my entire life. It was so crispy and tasty. Usually, whenever I ordered calamari at a restaurant, I don’t really care for the marinara sauce because the sauce is too sour for me; but, that’s not the case here. Their marinara sauce was so good I wanted to drink it. The sauce had a perfect balance of sour and sweet! Boyfriend liked both of his main dishes. As for the Medaglioni Gigetto, I highly recommend that dish. It was so good I had to order another one for my mom to try. The risotto in it was so flavorful, I originally thought it was a little salty at first but it got better after 2 bites. The steak was super tender, too.
Our waiter was very attentive and had a dry sense of humor.
Overall, would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.
Donka
THIS PLACE WAS INCREDIBLE! We came 30 minutes before the closing time, and they still served us with no hurry. The food was delicious, the attention and service was on point, and the restaurant itself was amazing.
Steve Kennedy
I don’t know what else you could ask for! The wait staff was very knowledgeable, service was attentive and the food was outstanding! A definite must go.
Katie Jones
This was amazing! My husband and I just ate here on our honeymoon, and I made the comment to him that it’s a good thing we don’t live here because the food is too good! Our server Nate was great too.
Karen Oyola
Made a reservation. First time dining here. Great food, atmosphere and staff. Celebrated our 21st anniversary. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
Dave C
Nice place to eat on West Shore. It’s an unassuming exterior with way too little parking… but once you walk inside you’ll be surprised at how busy it is.
The clientele can certainly have an air about them, but there’s typically a nice mix of people inside and the restaurant doesn’t necessarily go out of its way to present itself as fine dining.
We have gone 3 different times and have enjoyed the food all 3 times. Drinks are nice as well. The only reason it received 4 stars instead of 5 is the most recent experience was really dampened by a hostess that seemed to be upset over a miscommunication between her and a coworker.
Otherwise, nothing I can say except try this place out. Great food. Good service. It’s a very enjoyable date night spot.

We went for Friday night dinner at Trattoria Pasquale. We made the prior reservation for the restaurant so we got seated as soon as we informed the receptionist about our reservation. The ambience was amazing and it is a modern restaurant with modern design. We were greeted by our server Taylor. She came with the water and menu. Since this was our first time we asked her about the popular dishes in the restaurant. From the recommendations we ordered Pollo Nonno Pasquale, Gnocchi Italiana, Caesar Salad. Our server came around five minutes later with Salad, bread and oil. We ordered butter too. We received our order in around 15 minutes. The food was freshly made and it was delicious in taste. We liked Nonno Pasquale and it was an amazing dish. Loved each and every bite of it. It is really an amazing restaurant.
Kayla Bush
Hidden gem for sure. Staff was lovely, atmosphere was cozy and food was delicious! Will absolutely return.
Update: have returned multiple times!
Julie Webb
After driving by this restaurant, several times, my boyfriend and I decided to try it. It was the best decision we made for the night. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic, the servers were so kind, and considerate with a smile on their faces. We met the GM and he was so glad to have us there. It really was a family atmosphere! There is nothing negative I can say about our evening. We will definitely be back, and I will definitely be recommending Pasquales!! 10+/10
Mike Spielberger
Excellent place in South Tampa. We ate upstairs in the lounge area, which was very nice. Great liquor selection with many great cocktails. Food was great. The waiter makes sure to get the entire order first to ensure proper timing which is nice. Loved the veal Parm.
Dale Saville
Interesting Special Dinner - Italy’s Basilicata region was the featured region for the chef’s menu with optional wine pairings. This southern region is not familiar to most people, so the menu from this region was an interesting change of pace from the usual “northern” versus “southern” Italian fare. Candidly no single dish stood out, but the overall experience was very good. The chef’s enthusiasm and passion for cooking make this an event that is worthwhile repeating.
Scott Hodson
Ate at restaurant last Friday night. Wonderful experience. Our server, Julio, was attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the restaurant, making the experience the best we've ever had. The food was the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy. Would highly recommend Pasquale to any friends and family and want to thank them for a wonderful evening.
Charlie
Fantastic customer service and food! One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The owner was in a Santa suit and they gave our 1.5 year old a couple of stuffed animals to play with which he loved. Highly recommend!
Dana King
The Beloved Spouse™ and I were introduced to Pasquale’s while visiting our daughter and son-in-law over the holidays. They live up the street from there and told us it was their favorite restaurant in South Tampa. Our one visit showed why. The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was informal. We’ll be back.
Krasimira Bazeva
My boyfriend and I visited this amazing restaurant for the first time tonight and we left so impressed with the food, people, and atmosphere. The owner is the head chef and I can say the food is to die for. Our waitress Gina was amazing and the place felt so authentic and cozy. We can’t wait to come back. We recommend to all 10/10
Amy Brown
Our first time here and it did not disappoint. The meatballs were fantastic (and I'm not usually a meatball person), parmesan risotto was done perfectly. My husband had the Nonno Pasquale and I had chicken parm. Both were delicious. Staff was friendly. It was our anniversary and they even surprised us with dessert. We will definitely be back.
Marie Mirabito
Authentic home-made Italian cuisine with generous portions at affordable price point. Our party of 4 sat in a cozy booth with high back seats for privacy along with our reservation name inscribed in chalk on wall made for a unique presence.
Live music, fine dining with friendly and attentive service will definitely keep us as local regulars.
Gregory Burns
Amazing dining experience. Faralle Nicole was amazing. Caesar salad fresh and plenty. Bar tender was very polite and pleasant.
I recommend this for great Italian food. Nice job! I'm definitely coming back.
Jennifer Whiskeyman
It was our first time dining here. Overall it was a good experience. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Luigi stopped by for a chat as did the manager. Parking can be difficult though.
We started at the upstairs’ bar with a cocktail while we waited for our table. The bartender was alone and seemed much more interested in attending to his regulars than taking our order. Eventually he got around to us. I had the beaches drink and it was very good.
Downstairs we started with the fried calamari and caprese salad. The calamari was cooked wonderfully, but the breading was a tad salty. The marina sauce was perfect. We ate most of it before I remembered a pic. I was underwhelmed by the caprese salad. The tomatoes were hard and flavorless. I’d skip this next time. We had the gnocchi and eggplant parmigiana for our entrees. I forgot to take pictures because we were enjoying both. And lastly were the cannolis for dessert. Yum! We enjoyed them with a cappuccino. I’m happy we took the time to dine here, but I’m not sure I’d be back. The food was tasty, but there are plenty of restaurants that serve tasty dinners and tad less pricey.
Michelle Davenport
This was the second Big Night event that I attended and I wasn't disappointed. It's a seven course meal based on different regions of Italy. You have no idea what you are eating until after you've ate it. The chef comes out after every 2 plates and tells you what it was and where it originated. Every course was delicious and opens your palate to new flavors and dishes to try.
randal varry
My wife and I dined at this nice little North Italian trattoria over a Thanksgiving weekend getaway to Tampa. Good, simple dishes; ;prefect size portions; and an attentive staff.
Cassandra Duff
Dying to go to Pasquale’s on Westshore. The Owner is a true Italian chef, been to his former restaurant many times and he loves to share his specialties with his guests! Anyone want to go? I’m sure the food is GREAT! Cassandra Duff
Julia Apostol
Absolutely wonderful experience at Pasquale!! The food was so delicious and the owner is great! He is so personable and passionate about his food; it shows! I can’t rave enough about this place. Definitely found my new favorite Italian joint in Tampa. I highly recommend this place! It is relatively small and only open for dinner, so I would make a reservation.
Liliane Mason
Extremely kind staff. We were here for a rehearsal dinner and the staff was extremely accommodating to my dairy allergy. Greatly appreciate them!
Christopher Meyer
Kaitlyn (sp?) treated us well, knew her stuff, and consulted with the cook for my pre-diabetic companion. Then, excellent food. We'll be back.
Sunshine Zenko
Really enjoyed our experience at the new location. Had been to the old location a few times. Def enjoyed this night so much more. The lounge is amazing with great service and delicious cocktails! Downstairs the restaurant is so spacious and nice. Our food was pretty good it seemed like the food has taken a step up. We will def be back!
Kathleen Gallagher
Fantastic experience from start to finish! The food was delicious especially the muscles, the meatballs & the padellino pasta! Our server Diego was the best!!
lorraine garofano
First time visiting Trattoria Pasquale, Totally Fabulous!!!!! Each of us had a different dish. We all had a taste of each.... Deliziosa!!
Rebecca Rodriguez
I made a reservation for four the night before and was able to secure a table on the outside balcony. The service was five stars all the way from the front door to all of the people that contributed to providing a wonderful experience. Besides our main waiter we had several people that brought dishes to the table and they were all very personable and professional. The atmosphere outside was nice included with twinkly lights, I would suggest tablecloths like they had inside just to elevate a little bit more. But this did not take away from how delicious the food was or how great the service was. They had a gentleman inside playing live music it was nice we could hear it outside very clearly and it wasn’t overly loud so we could still enjoy our conversation. It was our first time there and will definitely return.
Wallace Clark
What a pleasant surprise. Upon arriving in the parking lot of Trattoria Pasquale, I thought I had made a mistake. The inside was so different from the outside.. But once seated, & hearing the menu, I knew we had discovered a jewel. Julio, the waiter was fantastic. The Northern Italian menu was fabulous. One of the two best Italian restaurants that I've visited in USA. Since I've visited Italy many, many times, I think I have a good palate for Italian cuisine. I would highly recommend this restaurant. FABULOUS!!
Steve Rutherford
Best hidden gem in S Tampa. Food is awesome. Make sure to reserve a seat.
Shirley Steele
We so enjoyed the evening we spent at this location! The service was exceptional! Everyone working together as a team to make sure we had the best experience ever. The food was delicious and the old fashioned drink was so good! The atmosphere is wonderful and the little touches around the building added to the ambience! We enjoyed viewing the photographs along the stairwell, each a precious memory to the owner, making us feel as if we were a part of the family. The upstairs bar was super cool and the live music a nice touch! We can’t wait to visit again.
B. Necole
Sat at the upstairs bar and was blown away. Awesome atmosphere. Delicious drinks. Can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the outside seating.
Shane Vanderson
I came with a group of friends this evening. Arrived a little early and grabbed a drink at the bar, and the bartender was top notch. We got seated and the food was quick and tasted amazing. Above and beyond that, the service was some of the best I've seen around town, and I dine out in South Tampa often. I will be back soon!
Chelsea Panin
One of my favorite restaurants. I have loved everything I’ve tried here! Every dish becomes a new favorite. The service is always excellent. Big Night is an absolute blast. Give it a try, you won’t regret it.
Joe Piteo
Superb. Now, this is Italian food. The tood is NOT the usual American version of Italian food, this is Italian cuisine prepared by a master chef. Trust me, if you were walking down a street in Bologna, and you were lured into a trattoria by the aromas, you would find yourself eating in a place like this. Prices are more than reasonable, service is 5-star. Eat, enjoy. The specials are ALWAYS special.
Theodore Foster
This place has a nice ambiance. The staff were nice and answered all questions. I had the seafood stew and it was absolutely delicious! We even dipped the bread in the stew, that's how flavorful it was! Would definitely recommend and return. From the bread to desserts, it was great a great experience that me and my partner had on our date.
James Demetroulis
First time going to big night. Thought the food was ok but extremely overpriced. Menu was $85 per person but we were not told wine was additional $35 per person. For the food served thought the price was excessive. $350.00 for 2 with3 glasses of wine each was overpriced without having expensive or extraordinary items
on the menu.
Kim Curry
We had our wedding reception at Trattoria Pasquale July 15, 2022. Heartfelt thanks to Chole and the staff who treated us like family. It goes without saying the food, drinks and service were amazing!!!! Thank you for helping us celebrate our special day.
Lawrence Thompson
One of my favorite Italian Restaurants. Great food, atmosphere and service. Wait staff is very friendly and give good advice on selections.
Richard Doyon
Stumbled upon this place accidentally and it was great. Food and service were both great, the chef also came by to see how we were doing.
Alessandra Vergara
Chef Luigi is amazing! He accommodated our birthday party of 25 and held a special Big Night for us in a private room. Everything was delicious and the wine was flowing. It was a great party and I can’t wait to go back and have another delicious meal there.
Zeke Crall
Best Italian food in west Tampa 100% always a new Fresh catch every week, and creative specials. Lovely staff very welcoming.
Mirco Falcone
If you say it’s Parma Prosciutto, bring me Parma Prosciutto. The appetizer was orrible, olives, artichokes, prosciutto.
The main feature of the Parma Prosciutto, it’s to be sweet, the prosciutto in the appetizer was extremely salty, why? The linguini whith claims, was not perfect, but absolutely no bad and the pasta was perfectly cooked. The Nonno Pasquale veal was pretty good. Desserts. The chocolate cake, most likely wasn’t home made, the panna cotta was really tasteless. On the other hand the service was excellent, for first time the server was very, very professional and helpful and the the hostess very pleasant
Marcelino Velez
For impeccable service, ask for Johhny! He's attentive and provides excellent dinner recommendations!
Christopher Oneill
loved it, really authentic italian. the veal in white wine was delicious and the gniochi gorgonsola was even better. yes there is no wine but that does not take away from the italian cuisine and you can bring your own wine with no charge. I recommend this place for all italian cuisine lovers
Jeff Nowicki
Very good Italian food. Favorites:. Lentil soup, spaghetti, mushroom orzo, calamari
Deb Jata
Was absolutely amazing from food to our server....we had the best of time and will definitely return . We came all the way from Weeki Wachee and will be back again.thank you all so much...your entire staff was A+.
Michael Morin
From the start an outstanding experience. Reserved through open table and my name was on the table when we arrived. The waiter Nick took extra time to explain the menu, the background of the chef and could answer any question related to the menu. We started with drinks, the Italian Margarita was very refreshing. We ordered appetizers and salad to share. Dressings are all homemade and delicious. For the main course we got the special which was cioppino and just fantastic. We also ordered the mushroom ravioli and the lasagna to share at the table. All were fantastic and authentic northern Italian. I highly recommended you give this restaurant a try.
Daniel Grskovic
Outstanding experience. Extremely hard working staff, God Bless them they work so hard to please. Best chicken marsala I ever had & very fresh mussels marinara. Good cocktails & love the added touch of live music. 5 ⭐️ experience. The staff works so hard & whoever is in the chicken hats off to you!!!!
Jay Dempsey
We had Taylor as our server, fantastic experience. Very knowledgeable and took time to answer questions and seemed really genuine. Heard the other servers explaining questions in depth as well. Highly impressed with food we had. I really liked the different sauces we had on meatballs and pasta. (they do NOT do Alfredo, honestly was scared to ask why.) sausage was on point, and the cheesecake with balsamic was an eye opener. really glad we found this place and will come again, had been looking for a local place to come to and support.
Susan Jenkins
What an amazing experience! Our server, Michael, was incredible…don’t let his youth fool you! Michael was very attentive, made great recommendations but was not overbearing. This is a must do again and again. Food was over the top, great wines and desserts that will make you scream.
Ana Kowalczuk
Trattoria Pasquale is something else! The service was amazing, our server Nick was incredibly nice and kind, we loved it! The hostess were very nice as well in finding us a table. The food is delicious, super tasty and we can tell it was made with love. We will definitely come back! Thank you thank you for this great experience! Bravissimo!
Ashley Morganti
Food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. Everything we had was delicious- the Caesar salad, eggplant parm, lasagna, mushroom ravioli, bread pudding, and tiramisu. Very friendly and attentive waiter too. Really cute lounge area upstairs. I highly recommend!!

Gnocchi 😋 Tiramisu 😋 French75 😋
Yuya Burkhart
The food was delicious. Not overly seasoned and pulls out the flavor of the ingredients. Hidden gem of Tampa for sure. The most authentic Italian I’ve had in Tampa. Owner is also hilarious.
C. Lee
This was the best Italian food I've had in years. Services was fast, food was terrific. I highly recommend this place.
Desiree' Tufan
Delicious homemade ITALIAN food... loved it
Trey Remaley
Julio was awesome!!! Great recommendations and he was attentive and was almost as good as the food. 10/10 would come again.
Devoe Digital
So impressed by this s. tampa gem. We have been in love with Pasquales since we first moved to tampa, when they were in their humble original location. Thank you for an yet another unparalleled Italian experience 👍 …
Michele Barbato
Excellent service! Great food. We always celebrate special occasions by getting together here
Barbara munch
Excellent service . Delicious food. Staff friendly. Great upstairs bar!
Juan Vila Rodriguez, Tampa Realtor
Loved this place. We had meatballs for an appetizer and they we great. They tasted like homemade meatballs. So good. I had the spaghetti and my wife had the linguini, both were delicious. The house salad was great as well. I highly recommend this place. We were so hungry that I forgot to take pics but I'll be back. Dress is cocktail casual, prices are fair, and staff is friendly.
Robert-Linda Kirchubel
Everyone enjoyed their meal, Gina was great, Sicilian Hemingway start of new family tradition!
yudith lopez
Amazing!! Great service. We loved it.
Michael Graham
Neighborhood Italian Gem!
All the food is great !
I prefer music in the background, but I guess the neighbors don’t ! Lol
Melissa Agnew
Loved the food. Friendly staff and inviting atmosphere.
Laura Fareri
We love trying different Italian restaurants in the area and this is definitely our new favorite! Everything from appetizers to dessert was delicious and the friendly service was great. This was our first time here and it was so nice meeting Chef Luigi and seeing him go around to each table. We really enjoyed the warm atmosphere and the live music added to an already wonderful experience. We can’t wait to go back!
Vanesa Short
Great Italian restaurant. It's small, cozy, authentic. You need bring your own bottle of wine, if you want to have some.
Erika Faulk
We absolutely LOVED the Big Night experience. This event focused on Calabria which was seafood focused and surprisingly, there was no shellfish. If you are not aware, Luigi, the Chef, creates interesting bites to serve that will represent the geographic focus and will describe the dish after you have eaten. There are also curated wine choices for purchase to complement the dishes. The Big Night room is separate from the main dining area. The service staff was so attentive (thank you, Diego and Aisha). At the end, Luigi comes to sit to discuss your experience. Fabulous! These are available to those who are a part of their email list. But don't wait for only the Big Night, come to enjoy their regular menu. A Gem!!
Robert Steeg
So delicious!! Diego was our waiter and he was so attentive and bubbly that it made our night! Cannot recommend the Cauliflower and the Chicken Parm enough!
Amanda San Martin
The food and service here is excellent. My party was celebrating a birthday and our server, Julio was wonderful. I had the caesar salad, fettucine alla bolognese, and the tiramisu. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. We ordered cocktails and each one came out perfect. I'm so glad I picked this place. It was a memorable birthday celebration. I'm excited to come back and try out something else on the menu.
Katherine Stine
We went to Big Night for my 30th Birthday. My mother absolutely adores this place and is a very loyal patron. She was hell bent on coming to Big Night and I love a gastronomic event so of course I was on board. I loved how they greeted you with an aperol spritzer. That set an awesome tone. Some of the guests ran late and it delayed starting the evening which was slightly disappointing but that is on the guests, I was just really hungry haha. The food was awesome, I loved how there was an explantation every two dishes telling us what we’re eating and how exactly it was prepared. I thought that was really awesome. My favorite dish was actually a stuffed tomato, it was truly excellent. The gnocchi was also memorable and the creamy sauce was delicious.
The reason I give it four stars is because it felt like our table was forgotten part of the time. While we were waiting on guests to arrive the table ran out of water and no one came to check on us for at least 35 minutes. I would have ordered a glass of wine or two however no one came to ask if we needed anything. My aunt literally had to flag down a waitress to get us water. Also with one of the courses they forgot to serve us the wine pairing. I totally understand it’s a larger space than they are used to and working out the kinks however it was my golden birthday.. I turned 30 on the 30th and I wanted to feel a little more special and not be forgotten about. If it wasn’t my birthday I would not have be nearly as upset.
There’s a ton of potential here and I think it will be great once they get used to the larger space. I will definitely give this place another try. I really loved Chef’s enthusiasm and that he visited with each table. The food was yummy and the atmosphere is nice. Curious to see what is in store for future Big Nights!
Evelyn Sekajipo
Loved it!! Service, bread, food & atmosphere! Don’t think twice.. try this gem out.
Chris Murillo
Group of eight and EVERYONE loved their apps, main courses and desserts! Great ambiance with nice live entertainment (not overbearing so that we could still converse). Owner is present and personable. Great wait staff - Gina. Highly recommend.
azure warrenfeltz
Just had the most amazing dinner! Julio was amazing and walked us through the whole menu. We will definitely be back!
Bill Waller
Delicious Italian food with the a lovely interior and atmosphere!
Christine O
My favorite Italian restaurant. Service and customer service is top notch. The food is amazing and cooked to perfection. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy another amazing meal.
Jeff Sterns
Ridiculously good food and staff from GM to chef!
Trish Cottrell (Trish)
Well, where do I start? We went the 1st time at Mother’s Day. Although the menu was limited and not many choices for my liking I must say I went out of my comfort zone and ordered something I’d normally not order. It was veal ravioli and when I tell you it was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING, there is no exaggeration! The caprese salad was so amazing & fresh! The sangria was so good and sweet! Not bitter one bit! My daughter had meatballs and ordered a second dish bc she loved it so much! My husband loved his as well!
We went back on a double date for the 2nd time and ate there with another couple who was head over heels in love w/the food as well! My only complaint is the bread would be much better in my opinion if it was hot and soft! I mean Who is not a sucker for hot bread and butter when they are starving? Other than that I have absolutely no complaints. Everybody is super nice and attentive and we loved our waitress.
We are going there this Friday with my family who is flying in from New Jersey and I can’t wait for them to try the food as well. We are actually celebrating a birthday and are super excited to be there while the live band is playing. If you guys are hesitant about making a reservation this is your sign to go ahead and book it because if you don’t you are missing the most authentic and fresh Italian food you will ever eat. Trattoria Pascual has our business as long as that building is still standing and serving! Bravo guys you are doing amazing!!

Best Italian restaurant in Tampa! We have been coming here for years, but it was so fun to check out their new location. So happy for Luigi and his team...the new space is beautiful and the food is delicious as always!
Big thanks to our server, Sharif, and our hostess, Savannah! We had a wonderful dinner and can’t wait to come back soon!
Frank Panzer
Every time I'm in town I like to stop by and have a meal here. It is an intimate little space with authentic Italian fare. Their mussels in marinara sauce is outstanding and I have it every time. As my main course, I ordered the mushroom ravioli. It was also nice, loaded with mushrooms. The waitress was attentive even though she was busy with multiple tables and very pleasant. Remember to bring your own bottle of wine because they do not sell alcohol; unlike me, who had the dash out real quick to a wine store on Clark Street and Gandy Boulevard to purchase a bottle.....
Mario Richardson
I seen a lot of posts that say that this place is a bring your own bottle type of establishment... It's not! Those are old. The new spot is on and popping! Phenomenal servers, excellent food, and even better drinks! If you ever have time, or looking for a great Italian experience please stop by this spot! I promise you you will not regret it!
Nicholas Bennett
Best Northern Italian in tampa bay! Hands down! Julio is an excellent server with loads of knowledge about the cuisine. I wanted to try something I've never had before and he had just the dish to serve me! I would rate 10/5 if I could. Bravo!
J. Kris Hardy
Fantastic food and amazing service. The Hanger Steak is unbelievably flavorful and the potatoes that it is served with was one of the best sides i have ever had. Don't know why I waited so long to go here...the best Italian restaurant in the Tampa Bay area.
Aleigh Delaporte
Diego was the best server I think I’ve ever had. Gina the hostess was also very nice and incredibly welcoming. The food is phenomenal but the staff makes the experience 5 stars. I will be returning.
William Ellison (Bill)
Wonderful dinner, appetizers and desserts. The cauliflower appetizer was fabulous. The daily specials are indeed special. The atmosphere is different since they moved to Westshore, but the food is wonderful as always. And the table service might be even better. We named Gina "Miss Adorable" only to find that the young man helping her out was also adorable. The musician playing upstairs tonight was absolutely fantastic. His rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" was simply amazing. That's the great reasons to visit Pasquale's. Also, eating outside on their upstairs porch was very pleasant.
Harold Moore
Everything about our dining experience was terrific. Service was spot on. Recommendations were excellent and everything from the bread to desert was fantastic.
Michelle Ellsworth
Loved my experience. Started with a house salad, my meal was the Farfalle Luigi, and ended with the Tiramisu and a cappuccino. All was very good.
Chad Fisher
You can pay more, you can ask for a more chiq atmosphere. But you will not find Italian food more authentic than Trattoria Pasquale. We had dinner there tonight and Luigi did not disappoint. Great waitstaff, service, appetizers, entrées, drinks, and dessert. I tell anyone who asks, this is my favorite restaurant in Tampa.
CJ’s Adventures
Once again a great evening at Trattoria Pasquale. The food was absolutely amazing! Our group chicken parmigiana, eggplant parmigiana, lasagne, beef tortellini in cream sauce, gnocchi, sirloin medallions with Risotto, meatballs, calamari, mussels and a veal special. And then there was dessert- the limoncello cake was the best!!! Then the bonus of the night- Luigi singing!!! Can’t wait to go back!!
Ines Perez
Authentic and Delicious Italian food! The restaurants layout is spacious and amazing. 2nd floor balcony like you are in Italy! Definitely going back!
Curt Holden
Amazing food, menu and atmosphere. One of the best dining experiences we have had in years. This place is the way dining out should be. Relaxed, fun and delicious. Chef Luigi’s passion for his craft was tasted in every bite. Can’t wait to experience the “Big Night” offering.
Bill S
I celebrated my birthday this year with a great meal at Trattoria Pasquale. I had the Tortellini Emilia. Heaven. For Northern Italian cuisine there is no place better in the Tampa Bay area. You will love Chef Luigi's entire menu. He hasn't failed me in 30 years.
Kathryn Perez
I am soooo happy I found this restaurant. This is true Italian food made with love, care, and fresh ingredients. It looks like a family business. When you sit in this restaurant you feel a sense of family & pride in their restaurant. The food was so amazing I think my husband and I will be back tomorrow! Don’t expect the food to be out super fast because you can tell your food is fresh made from scratch. It’s also bring your own wine. They don’t serve wine but you can bring your favorite s which is nice in my opinion. This is my new favorite place to eat! You would never guess from the outside.
Nathan Garcia
Simply put, this restaurant exceeds all expectations.
I reserved a table and arrived early waiting in the parking lot. An older man with a shirt that read "Needs more salt" gets out of a truck with an Italian flag as his front license plate. My girlfriend and I look at each other and I say "well he must really like Italy". I was about to find out how true this statement is.
Once we step inside we are immediately greeted and brought to our table. Our server (Diego?) is extremely pleasant. He was able to answer any questions about the menu, as well as recommend wine. He was attentive throughout the entire dinner, refilling drinks, making sure we were taken care of. The service here makes you feel like you're the president instead of just a customer.
The menu was surprisingly diverse for how complicated the flavors were. We tried something from each course (antipasti, primi, secondi, and dolce). The calimari was lightly breaded and seasoned. It was cooked perfectly which allowed it to be slightly chewy instead of mushy and overdone. The marinara was clearly made in house, was served hot, and was so good I had to scoop some with the bread.
For primi I shared tortellini emilia and secondi was medaglioni gigetto. The tortellini was perfect and the dish was well balanced and portioned. The sirloin with risotto, well there just aren't enough words to describe this. You eat it, and when you're done you realize you're back on earth after falling from heaven. This may have been the best dish I've ever eaten. Every single bite was perfection. We could not believe a meal this good was possible.
This is a casual restaurant with world class execution from every section of the house. Some restaurants hope to simply be successful. This restaurant seeks to recreate the magic of Italy here in Tampa and does so with ease.
Kate Burns
Diego was a fantastic server. There was live music. And all of the tables have your last name for a personal touch. One of the best dinner experiences we have ever had.
Terry
Fried cauliflower and eggplant parmesan! Delish!!
Kris M
The best authentic Italian food I have ever had! Everything is fresh and made daily, which I love! The veal Nonno Pasquale and broccolini is absolutely amazing!
al williams
Was disappointed. Staff was nice (no Covid masks on bartenders). Nice atmosphere. They were out of things on the menu - so couldn’t serve some items. Seemed expensive - $15 glass for an average Chianti. Maybe was just an off night, may try again sometime and update.
Cassie Chilton
Compliments to the chef because the food was incredible!!! We didn’t call ahead so the outside deck was full, but the upstairs bartender Tony made up for it! Great times and amazing Sangria with friends !
nancy buk
Small, limited menu, but good food. The manager was rude telling my friend and I we needed to go sit in the bar if we were just chatting because he needed the table when there were several other available tables. We spent a decent amount of money and I felt it unappreciated. He certainy could have handled the situation a bit more gracefully.
Marie Claire
Excellent Italian food. We really enjoyed everything we had there, very authentic. Reminded my boyfriend, who is Italian, of the food he had when he was growing up. We didn't realize that they did not serve wine but we quickly went home and got a bottle to bring back. The owner is very friendly as well. We will definitely be returning! Really really good!
Alyson Rome
Food is the emphasis and they do it exceptionally well. So well, it makes me want to edit any other five star reviews I've given to restaurants. The chef and staff are personable and genuine. I love that it's byob - and no corkage fee. Highly recommend a Big Night event. This is the best Italian food I've eaten outside of my dearly departed Aunt Yolanda's kitchen.
Elizabeth Budd
Loved it! Great food, wonderful waiter and service. Nice, casual ambiance. Would definitely go there again!
Ron Sjoblom
A lot of places use the phrase " family owned". You can meet the owner and their family while you are there, so it is really family owned and operated.
They started out in a small little store front and now they run a full size resturant which tells you a lot about their food. It is definitely Italian with a true homemade flavor. Ask them about their "big night" experience.
Luis Colon
By far one of the best Italian restaurants my wife and I have ever enjoyed. We have eaten here close to a dozen times and have yet to be disappointed. Thank you Chef Luigi for bringing the amazing flavor of Italy here to Tampa. If you ever get the chance to attend his Big Night dinner, do it. It's a great experience!
Lee Hedlund
I've been dining here for the last few years and absolutely love it! I've been here with large groups for parties as well as quiet dinners with my wife. The service is always spot on and I've never had a bad meal. Anyone that dines here MUST try the mussels! The menu is always fresh and updated daily with specials. The byob component helps the cost stay low while you still get to enjoy 5 star Italian cuisine! This is a hidden gem in south Tampa!
Steve Casey
A really good locally owned Italian restaurant. Our server was extremely good and attentive & the food very good! Yes, I recommend them.
Thoma U
Best Italian food I have ever had! Couldn't take a picture of the food because we ate it so fast!
Rande James
Had an amazing dinner! The best marinara I have tasted in years. St.Pete/Tampa has very little to choose from for Italian food. You must check them out. Try the calamari with "to die for" marinara. Mussels were awesome too. Arugula and Buffalo Mozzarella salad was amazing. Bring a bottle of wine and you are all set!
Kathrin Vickers
Great authentic italian food, live music and friendly personnel.
G Hoyt
Chef Luigi catered for the Italian Club second annual comedy and music revue and the food was spectacular so I decided to check out his restaurant. I was greeted cordially by the hostess and seated a half hour early from my reservation. My server Ed was very prompt and well versed on the menu selections. The lasagne was out of this world and my girlfriends chicken marsala had great flavor as well. I am always impressed when the owner comes out to chat with customers as Chef Luigi did with everyone in the restaurant. He's a really nice guy! I will go back again and again.
Amanda Piotrowski
Delicious food - I had farfalle nicola. Great people. Justin at the upstairs bar is fun and fast, and makes some excellent cocktails. Beautiful restaurant. Reasonable prices.
Jon VanNevel
My wife and I went here for the first time recently. It was on a Sunday for what they call their 'Big Night'- where they offer a 7 course menu which isn't revealed until you're presented each dish. Each Big Night is a different menu from a different region of Italy. The chef is obviously passionate about his food, and it shows on the plate and on the palate. A few things to note- they don't have a liquor license, but will cork wine that you bring in. Overall, a great experience and I would go back without hesitation.
Dan F
Fantastic tasting gnocchi in gorgonzola sauce and the chicken cannelloni was amazing. Luigi the owner took our orders and was very personable. We brought our own wine and the night was perfect! Thanks for the great evening Luigi and we will be back from Lakeland! Daniel Faviere and friends

August 2021
Edit: place is as great as ever. We came for our 5th anniversary. Food is as delicious as well as the service. They now serve their own alcohol and have an independent location (was in a plaza before). Be aware of corking fees.
August 2020
Great place for a romantic dinner. Make reservations. Small, family owned. It's bring your own bottle (byob) of alcohol. They have soda, water, coffee, etc. Entrees are from $14-$22. Side salads were surprisingly not interesting, but the eggplant parmesan and clam pasta were a dream. Felt like I was on clouds with the tiramisu. Light, airy, crispy calamari as an appetizer. Small menu, the way restaurants should have it. Many people in groups were there. Definitely will be back again.
Lindsey Mixer
Outstanding service and ridiculously good food. The best salmon I have ever had and fettuccine & meatballs were incredible. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Make a reservation ASAP!!
Natalia morino
Food was amazing. We had burrata salad, bolognese pasta, bongole pasta, and limoncello cake. Good portions, service was great (everything came super fast), good wine, and the place is really pretty. We would definetely come back!
Philippe Derathé
Luigi's restaurant is a great place to lunch or have dinner with friends.
The food is excellent. Everything is freshly made.
Luigi and his staff are welcoming you as family member the second time you enter the Trattoria. Due to the fact that Luigi does not have a license, you have to bring your own bottle, which is great because normally this is where the bill gets high! It also explains the very gentle bill at the end of the meal.
On regular basis, several times a month, Luigi organizes his famous "Big Night", a secret seven courses dinner, focusing on a different region of Italy each time. For $35, there is no excuse for not asking to be added to the invitation list.

"Oh My Land! The best of Fresh, Italian in Tampa"
My partner and I heard rave reviews about Trattoria Pasquale from friends. Our first visit was last night. Our friendly and knowledgeable and spunky server was "Sunny". If you can enjoy her service, it will add to the experience. Sunny recommended a couple specials of the night and we were not disappointed. We started with a freshly made, oooey, gooey mozzarella caprese salad - a must if you enjoy something new. Our beverages were attentively filled. We enjoyed fresh, warm bread and seasoned olive oil until our salads arrived. Then, the entrees. I enjoyed the freshly prepared Lobster Ravioli - absolutely delicious - so I tried to eat it slowly. My partner had the Parpadelle Tina and it was awesome. Both dishes were savory and delightful. We'll be back. NOTE: You'll need a reservation to be able to sit at one of the only dozen tables, unless you go during the middle of the week. Enjoy!
Savannah Stone
Wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere. Bring your own bottle of wine (without a corking fee) and have a fantastic evening! Enjoy a savory Italian dinner with your favorite bottle of wine without feeling rushed.
Erin Watts
Most authentic Italian restaurant I've ever been to. Friday was BYOW, which made my experience even more fun! Seriously, pick any dish and you will not be sorry! Taste and smells like your Italian grandmas cooking, but better! (Don't tell gran!)
Scott Wrenn
Fabulous Italian food.
I recommend the chalkboard specials you won't find them anywhere else also a great memorable experience Pasquale's Trattoria great vibes
Kirsten Blake
Excellent food and atmosphere. The service was outstanding, as well.
Jorge Rodriguez
Luigi, the owner, greeted us at the table. In fact he visited everyone this evening. We had the cioppino which was really never better. We also had penne bolognese which was very good. Couldn't order dessert this time but if you get a chance, the limoncello cake never disappoints.
Fred Fallman
We’ve been patrons of this fine restaurant for many years. I wanted to commend Luigi and his team for doing such a great job providing the delicious food for us during this time and look forward to dining in again soon!
Fritz Casper
Quaint. Keep in mind they do not have a liquor license, it is ok to bring your own. Interesting twist on traditional Italian food. I recommend the special, anytime. It is a good, small, tasty place!
Jessica Jordan
Food was outstanding. But the service was slow, they were out of three menu items we wanted, and for such a small, intimate place, it was strangely loud. Also, it's bring your own wine/beer, which is nice, except they don't advertise it on their website.
Rob Zedaker
Classic Italian. Great family experience
Mark M
First time here but definitely not my last. Food is so so good. Small place so make a reservation and enjoy the evening. BYOB so pick an excellent wine as it will pair well with the food.
Rob Pollard
Gnocchi and eggplant parm were great! Gnocchi sauce was fantastic. I had a drink, Sand & Bar (I think), that was really good. Definitely recommend it. Staff was very friendly and we were seated quickly. Place was busy the whole night.
Terri R
This was the special today. Pork shank with saffron risotto. Amazing!
Jay Weisbond

Enrique
Ravioli funghi was incredible. Great service and delicious food
Scott Derby
Big Night (Luigi's Hometown Region: Trentino-Alto Adige) reminded my wife and me of the cooking of my late mother, who was from a nearby location in northern Italy (minutes away). This restaurant is a must for anyone who wants to enjoy real Italian food, not Italian-American fare, but authentic Italian cuisine. I'm a first-generation Italian American on my maternal side, and in the words of my late mother, tutto bene!
Amy Capodilupo
Food was delicious! Very friendly staff and we really enjoyed the live music! So happy to have this in our neighborhood!
Arthur Lastra

Such an amazing experience! Luigi is personal and intuitively knows exactly how to meet the palate. A true renaissance man: Paratrooper, referee, culinary artist!

Very good food. Meat is fresh and delicious and so are the sauces. Potato cakes were very good. Better than fancy Italian chains. I would not go anywhere for Italian.

(Translation) I was not surprised, we ordered a pomodoro pasta, I wish it had more wine and we ordered another pasta with tortellini, the taste of both was regular, they gave us a small salad and that one was delicious, I give the restaurant an 8 of 10 in flavor.
