Pasqualino's is a cute little, super-clean spot serving big portions of delicious Italian food. Don't let the small dining room fool you....nobody leaves hungry! We walked in at 8:15 p.m., completely unaware they closed at 9:00 p.m. There were only two tables occupied, so I immediately had that "uh-oh, we're those people" feeling. Thankfully, the staff couldn't have been nicer. We never felt rushed, and the service was wonderful from start to finish. This is a BYOB spot, and trust me....you should come hungry. We started with the stuffed peppers. One was spicy, one wasn't. Was it a culinary surprise? A pepper lottery? I'll never know, but both were delicious. I ordered the chicken Parmesan with rigatoni, and my husband got the spinach-stuffed shells with meatballs. When the plates arrived, I briefly wondered if they had mistaken us for a family of four. The portions were huge. We ate until surrender and still had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. On our way out, we couldn't resist grabbing dessert from the cooler: limoncello cake and tiramisu. Because after consuming enough pasta to fuel a small village, dessert seemed like the responsible thing to do. We made it out by 9:00 p.m., and the staff remained friendly right up until closing time. Great food, generous portions, excellent service, and prices that won't make you cry into your cannoli. We'll definitely be back--just next time we'll arrive a little earlier and wear our stretchy pants. read more

The food here is amazing! My favorite is the Augustino Salad. The blueberries and dressing accent the flavor of the salad incredibly well. I've also had their pizza and the portions are huge!! The taste is just fantastic!! read more

This small little slice of Italy is amazing. Generous portions. Worth the stop! Wait was a little long, due to it being very busy. however staff was attentive. read more

We had a great dinner at Pasqualino's. The food and service (thanks Danielle) were excellent! I had the raviolis. Everyone in our party of nine enjoyed the dinner. It's good to note that it is BYOB and they were happy to provide a corkscrew. We'll be going back soon. read more

We got a really undercooked pizza but did not have time to order a new one Whe I called to complain the girl said sorry, but hung up on me before I finished talking. read more

This family owned Italian restaurant was wonderful! We had three dishes that were delicious! The owner and staff were welcoming and gave us great service. We came at midday so it was not busy. The atmosphere was delightful. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will return if I am in Pittsburgh area again. read more

The pizza was really good, I liked the Italian Hiagie, but I wasn't crazy about the baked fries. The fries had that burnt oven taste I didn't like. The service was great ! The guys were polite and friendly. The restaurant itself was clean and organized. I highly recommend this location. read more

I'd give it a 5 if the ambiance was better. The Food was fabulous with generous serving size. We had pizza for an appetizer and it was delicious--just the right seasoning in the sauce. We each had a pasta dish and a salad. I like that the salad was not iceberg and few other veggies. It was mixed greens with lots of veggies. The decaf coffee at the end of the meal was delicious and fresh. Our server was polite and efficient. I wish I had known it is a BYOB restaurant. I'll know next time. When we arrived they had classical music playing at just the right volume. For some reason they switched to rock. Not what I want while eating dinner. Keep the classical music! Or music from Italy. It is a casual restaurant, but could add a few touches to make it a more homey feel. In losing changing the pea green paint. It is in an old house, so I was hoping to have more of a home style feel. I understand they do a lot of take out so that section that has a take out feel will be there. We will certainly go back and bring our bottle of wine. read more

This is some of the best Italian food you can get in the Pittsburgh area. Their pizza, pasta, and sandwiches never disappoint. The service is good too. read more

This was the worst meal I've had here. The stuffed shells (2) were soggy, flat noodles drowning in acidic, no seasoning tomato sauce (not pasta sauce) and the "cheese stuffing" were 1/8" of a cheese stick that was hard. The dish was sad looking and tasted even worse. The wedding soup was over peppered and was unpleasantly spicy. This evening's visit decided this establishment is now blacklisted. read more

The Italian hoagie had more lettuce and tomato, onion. The meat and cheese were on the light side. My shell dinner may of had enough sauce to cover. The eatery has changed dramatically over the past several years. I was eating there when it was Pizza palace across from Arby's. read more

Absolutely love this place. Very very busy all the time. But you were waited on in a timely manner. The spinach stuffed shells are to die for. And they actually sell jars of their sauce. It's a small little place but it's just amazing. give it a try read more

Been going here for years and the quality has never disappointed. The food is amazing, the staff is great! Can't recommend it more!

Good food, but I didn't get a feel for the other important aspects. I was waited on at the counter by a young girl who would most likely rather be doing anything other than dealing with a crippled old man on her Saturday afternoon. read more

I was legitimately shocked by how delicious the food from Pasqualinos is. I order the stuffed shells (no spinach), mac n cheese, and chocolate chip cookies. Let me just say if you come to Pasqualinos, you have to get the cookies! They are truly fantastic and extremely affordable, at less than $1/cookie or 6/$5. Nice and chewy, lots of chocolate, and really sweet. The shells are also incredible! The portion is huge. A large dinner came with 4 shells and 2 meatballs. I did not expect to enjoy the meatballs as much as I did, they were cooked quite well and the texture was great. The shells are homemade, humongous, and stuffed with multiple types of cheeses, all of which tasted incredible and blended perfectly. Also, there was a lot of sauce. It was a bit sweet and went really well with the pasta. Now, I did not really like the Mac n cheese that much. I hear the provolone sticks are better but I can't confirm yet, will try those next times. Mac n cheese simply did not have a lot of flavor, came in clumps, and also was a tad too oily. It did not satisfy the Mac craving, but overall, this place is still awesome! Highly recommend for great portions, quality America-Italian food, and some of the best homemade cookies ever. Edit- I checked this place out again last week. It is consistently fantastic, and now one of my favorite Italian places. I crave it quite often. It's worth the 5 stars, even though the Mac wasn't the best! read more

This place is okay. My family loves it here and I don't quite know why. The staff are delightful, I will give them that. Great, attentive service. It's not too stuffy and has nice vibes. But. The food. Is. Bland. I got the diablo pasta and it tasted like canned tomato sauce. Everything was cooked okay but there were no spices or seasonings that I could tell. I'll go again if my family wants, but I wouldn't suggest it. To each their own. read more

My nephew and I went today December 8 2024 to pasqulinos we walked in they greeted us with a smile and we sat down they were very busy all food was delicious thank you hats off to them and our server we give them 5 stars read more

Always good food! Tried the yinzano pizza last round and was not disappointed! I will get that again for sure!!

Jussst wondeerrfuullll!!!! This would be your classic example of a local mom & pop Italian restaurant that has been around forever, and there is a specific reason why. These are the type of spots you need to seek out, you need to create that adventure! they are well known to the locals in a 10 mile radius but need that additional exposure, an exposure that apps like this can provide! The pasta is fresh and homemade, the prices are cheap and affordable, the service is quick and consistent... what more can you ask for? Between the stuffed shells, the eggplant & rigatoni's or the Pasta Siderno, I cant describe which is more incredible. Stop being lazy, stop making excuses... start ordering from here! Trust me, I promise you'll come back again and again... read more

Pasqualino's Pizza & Pasta - Pasta Siderno - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We recently tried Pasqualino's for date night and we were not disappointed! The service was quick and friendly, and helpful with making a decision (there were too many delicious things on the menu!). We had mozzarella sticks and friend zucchini for appetizers which were clearly freshly made and so good! For entrees we had the basic spaghetti and meatballs and the cheese tortellini. Both were phenomenal, as was the huge fluffy roll that is included with each meal. We also shared a delicious piece of tiramisu. The restaurant is BYOB, which we didn't know about ahead of time or we would have brought a bottle of wine. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. Can't wait to go again! read more

Great food and good service. It is a good family atmosphere. Good value with many choices on menu. Sometimes some items run out and that can be disappointing. For example, they ran out of soup. I like that you can sit wherever you want. They constantly are cleaning so it really adds to the atmosphere. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a whim. The staff was pleasant, attentive, and the food came out pretty quick. Of course, I forgot to take pictures of the food. However, I will say this... The half size of the hoagie was plenty big enough for a lunch portion and the small size spaghetti was plenty as well. The hoagie and stuffed shells were great. The spaghetti was just okay but mostly because it didn't have enough flavor. It was just bland. Which is interesting because the stuffed shells had plenty of flavor. Overall, it was a good place to have a little lunch but nothing is making me want to go there again. read more

Been eating here since I was a teenager and I've never been disappointed! Best stuffed shells, meatballs and rolls in the world! We buy the family meals often for get togethers. Everyone treats you nice. Can't say enough good things! Even our picky eaters love Pasqualinos! And the chocolate chip cookies my kids love too. read more

Excellent food made from scratch so is highly recommended opens everyday my favorite is the soups and salads you will never be disappointed

My wife and I stopped in on a whim for dinner. Great decision! She had the rigatoni diablo and I had spaghetti and meatballs. Our dishes were delicious, and the portions were generous. The service was friendly and fast. The decor was not fancy but the restaurant was clean and neat. All in all a great place to go for a satisfying Italian meal! read more

The staff member I spoke to was the most unpleasant I have ever spoken to at a pizza shop in my entire life. We have been going here for decades and I will never be back. So disappointed and upset. read more

Got the large shells dinner as a takeout...NOT made in-house, store bought for sure, small size (4 'jumbo' shells LOL not very large at all), sauce mediocre at best, little cup of parm cheese included. Comes with a tiny store bought roll. Quick greeting at counter and she was polite. But it was pricy! 17 bucks for 4 shells and 2 meatballs!? Will not be returning. Make the drive ANYWHERE else, thank me later! read more

The food is excellent. While the service is slow the taste of the food makes it worth the wait. We have yet to receive a bad meal, sun, or pizza from this restaurant. The pasta sauce is homemade with a taste that dances on your palate while the fresh subs play a tune that's classical playing loud to your taste buds. The pricing is reasonable and they had to raise prices to coincide with the price adjustments of supplies and food itself hadn't increased to unaffordability. I just can't say enough except if you haven't tried it, you owe yourself a treat to go but expect to wait and remember it's very much worth your wait as the food will rectify any wait anxieties you may have. read more

Here I am... back in the Burg after 40 years away bragging the whole time about how good the pizza is here. Enter Pasqualinis.. Read the reviews which were mixed in 2020. What the hell, pizza can't be all bad in the Burg!! WRONG!! This pizza is shit. Do yourself a favor and buy a DiGiorno at the grocery store. This pizza makes Digiorno look like 5 star. To top it off the service was also shit. One rude young girl who rated 0. Listen to the guy who said the crust is like cardboard... he was right. I'll add that the sausage was a funny color and the pepperoni was straight off the Giant Eagle shelf. Just shit...all of it. read more

A quaint little family run restaurant with some of the best Italian food we've ever had. The sauce is unbelievable. Talked with Frank, the owner, and it's his mother's recipe made in house! We started with the Aracini, crispy on outside, fluffy and delicious on inside. Wife had spinach stuffed shells with a meatball and I had chicken Parmesan over rigatoni. Again, we can't stop raving about the SAUCE!! The restaurant is BYOB (know for next time), affordable and very friendly. We will be back! read more

Without a doubt the cream of the crop in terms of restaurants in Penn Hills. Nice little Italian place that has a full service menu. The wedding soup and subs are very good, but they have the best stuffed shells I've ever had. Maybe it's the cheese, maybe it's the sauce, or perhaps a little bit of both. If you go definitely get the shells with a side of bread to dip. You won't regret it. read more

I like the food however I was very disappointed in the service. I asked for a meat lovers pizza and the woman asked me "are you calling the right place, we don't sell meat lovers pizza".... Uuummmm, yes im calling the right place. While I'm sitting in the Parking lot waiting for my pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon, a kid was throwing rocks from behind the restaurant. my windshield was cracked in two places. i go inside and ask if they had a problem with kids to throwing rocks and they said yes... wth.... Inform people. My expensive vehicle was damaged. I had to go straight to Safelite Auto Glass. There was no sympathy from the management at this restaurant. if your customers vehicle gets damaged, at least offer them a glass of soda... so $40 for pizza and a new windshield... Thanks! I was too upset to even eat the pizza...... read more

Had to order party trays last minute for a funeral wake. Then had to add to my order a few hours later as more guests were coming. Accommodated my needs so politely. Food was outstanding. So fresh. Melt in your mouth stuffed shells. Delicious meatballs and sweet sausage. Fresh salad with nice greens (no iceberg lettuce). All packaged very conveniently/safely for easy pickup and transport. Plenty of sauce. My only complaint? My guests ate it all and none was leftover for the next day! read more

YUM YUM YUM. I had the Pasta Diablo, and it was great. Pizza is phenomenal but I am glad I tried the Pasta. YUM YUM YUM!!!

The crab cake Medusa and the chicken bacon salad are awesome! I have not dined inside but I imagine the food is even more amazing.

You know ever since Covid hit. Restaurants have made up their own little version of cdc rules. Well last night this was a first, no fountain drinks while we were inside. That's a new thing read more

Absolutely the best little Italian spot in penn hills hands down. There is no competition for miles. The prices can't be beat along with the hospitality. I enjoy the crab cake medusa which has an Alfredo based sauce with a delicious crab cake on top of linguine noodles... The meat is so soft and tender that it leaves you begging for more. I've been here twice in the last week and would love to dine here every day. We ordered the lasagna which was amazing..the meat is so soft and their red sauce works with every dish..the flavor is by far very exciting. I'm wrinting this as I eat.,I just had a bite of the gnocchi and man are you missing out if you've never eaten here...please try this place it is amazing!!! read more

Pizza is as good as it gets. Delicious crust. Dynamite sauce. Generous toppings. Zucchini strips also excellent. I'm not a big fan of their pasta, but I'm pretty picky about pasta. Their pasta is also not the point of this review. The point of this review is that their pizza is nails - go get yinz some. read more

Great food and atmosphere. It is so clean which is so important to me. They have a small size and large size for their entrées. The small size was perfect for my wife and I. The staff was friendly and the service was great. Being Italian, they have excellent sauce. Will definitely go back there. Kudos to Frank and his staff. read more

Love this neighborhood restaurant. Always good food and BYOB, no problem. Great for take out too !
