though we are by no means strangers to little italy,and the restaurant and shopping there, we never ate at Pasquales. it came recommended by a dear friend. this was my son's 19th b'day and he's in love with his italian heritage and the whole ambience of Little Italy. The meal was ""o.k."" the service was good and the attention the same. The attitude of the waiter when the wrong appetiser was brought to the table was uncomparably the worstattitude that could be delivered to a customer and his/her guests. This to the point of the waiter being reprimanded by the captain and still the attitude continueduntil the time of the check. then came the smile. The restaurant accepts amex and all other cards but when i gave my amex platinum, it was returned by another attendant as ""no good"". i looked for the m/c i wished to use and was graced with a 4 letter word half under his breath. I didn't hear it but my 23 yr old son did and only told me when we left. As I said, the food was good,the main service the same...attitude can destroy any good time and they succeeded here. Roberto's!!! here we come!!
Pros: ambience is typical ""italian"" flare
Cons: negative vibes in attitude of the waiter
