    The food was creative and very good. We were not disappointed. You have the options to eat inside or out and there is valet parking. It was very quiet we we first got there but as it started to fill up it did get a little more noisy but not so much that it impeded our conversation. Our waiter was attentive. We met for lunch and lunch menu is the same as dinner so you may find it on the pricy side but I always say are you dining or eating? If you are dining it is worth every penny. Also I have to call out the inventive cocktails which hit the spot on a hot day! I would definitely do it again.

    When I go out to dine I don't want to use any electronic devices. I had to scan a code with my phone to view the menu. There was no other option. I use electronic devices when I am at work and don't expect to use them when I am out to enjoy a meal. After ordering a bottle of wine it took over 20 minutes for them to bring it to my table. Over 20 minutes ... really

    Worst dinning experience I have ever had! We have been here a many times and always recommend it to people. We won’t be doing that again. Nobody came to the table after we had been sitting for 30 minutes so my sister went to let someone know. 45 minutes still no drinks. So I went to the manager and kindly asked him for help. I never received my food until I said something and then the 5 other people in my party were done with theirs by the time it arrived. The waiter rolled his eyes at us for complaining. I have never written a bad review before. This was just so horrendous . We know they were busy so we’re trying to be patient . The table next to us had no problem. Maybe the waiter was new but no one else checked on the table after we spoke up three different times. We will not be retuning.

    Enjoy the restaurant, the food was very good. The problem was they bought the appetizers and the main course within five minutes of each other. Had us out of there in 35 minutes. Not the leisurely meal I was looking for…

    The Last Supper at DePasquale Square is the name of my story, which I wrote on Medium. Check it out. From the start, the host and manager were not accommodating to my husband and me because I had to wait for the arrival of my six other guests. We saw our table of 8, a couple of rows in, waiting for us, but because of an outdated seating policy, I had to wait curbside for all guests to arrive, even though I confirmed with a credit card. The restarant is a cheeseball of tackineess. Plastic green lawn chairs are everywhere, and faded orange umbrellas are scattered throughout the entire restaurant. Even at night, they keep them up, which is best because the exterior is as bright as a parking lot for cars. The Italian food was overpriced and lacked the Italian flair of taste that I've become accustomed to when eating good Italian food. DePasquale Square used to be a public space for everybody, but somehow Costanino's has taken over the entire vibe, creating a frenzy of poor design taste and dismal ambiance. First time and last time, and I don't recommend this place.

    It started with the hostess being rude. Then two glasses were dirty, including a lot of lipstick on the rim of one glass. The bread was stale. Service was slow and they brought my child lobster ravioli instead of cheese ravioli. This would have been ok if they promptly brought the correct dish. Over a half hour later, when everyone else was not only done eating, but already had leftovers packaged up, the ravioli still hadn’t come out. I had to ask for the manager and we finally got it to go. Also, the salmon dish was room temperature when served.
