    I have eaten here twice, once getting a pasta dish and once going for a salad and pizza. I liked both experiences and feel that the menu provides good diversity. The ambience is quite good and the bar seating for dinner is really nice.

    Had a 7:30 reservation for 4. Seated smack in front of electric piano player but asked to get moved to rear of restaurant. Service was slow but the kitchen was even slower. Finally got served dinner at 9:30. Manager never came over to apologize, our server simply shrugged his shoulders. Food as always was very good. It’ll be awhile before we go back.

    Excellent first time visit to Pascone's. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Overall great service, although it did take a bit of time to get drinks from the bar. Our server was very knowledgeable, very attentive, and very personable. Food was really terrific; probably the best lamb chops I have ever had. All of the pasta dishes were cooked perfectly and the kid's meals were top notch.

    After linking my dad to the online menu and piquing his interest, I reserved a table for 3 on a Friday evening. I liked the wide ranging choices so we could figure out if we wanted to eat lighter or heartier on the actual occasion. We started with the calarmari (so good!), then we each had a soup or a salad (the stracciatella and pasta figioli were so flavorful without being heavy). My son had a pizza, my father the pasta bolognese, and I added salmon to the house salad. Everything came out perfectly and tasted divine. Portions are large, so we did not have coffee or dessert this trip. I have already recommended Pascone's to so many of my friends; with so many different price points and choices, there is something for everyone, every occasion, every budget. That said, with the piano music in the background playing in the gorgeous dining room, my elderly father felt like he had been treated to an extra special meal. Don't hesitate, just go! It far surpassed our expectations in every way.

    Another great night at Pascone's. We brought some out-of-town friends and they thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Anthony and Marcus are our two favorite servers and Anthony made some exceptional wine recommendations which we all enjoyed. It's a great atmosphere and experience, and the live music brings it all together.

    We had a fabulous meal and outstanding, attentive service by Tracy. Kale and pear salad was exceptional, warm bread with olive oil was especially good, eggplant parmigiana and a flatbread, along with perfectly prepared dirty martini followed by a nice Chianti reserve. All perfection. Ample portions so we brought home leftovers.

    The food is always good and we enjoy having Marcus for our waiter. Service was extremely slow. We had a 7:15 reservation and didn't finish before 9:45. It was about 8:45 before we got our entrees. It seemed that the kitchen was very under staffed and there was a very large private party. Luckily we ordered a bottle of wine so it made the wait more bearable.

    I would rate our experience at 10 stars if it were an option. Everything was delicious. My wife and I were meeting friends for dinner. It was our first time dining at Pascone's. We had heard nothing but good things about it. She and I got there early to check out the happy hour. I had the 1919 Negroni. She, the Aperol Spritz. Both were delicious. We ordered the Antipasti. In my opinion, a great value for the price. A meal in itself. Our waiter Anthony was excellent, very professional and attentive. We are already planning our next visit.
