Pasquale's Ristorante

Had dinner here the other night with my wife. We have driven by Pasquale's numerous times and never thought to stop in. We will now add it to our "Date Nights". The Tuscan pork was excellent and my wife loved her clam Zupa. They had some great signature drinks and the service was good. Overall it is a good night out and a great atmosphere.

I was very impressed with Pasquale's. I was there with a group who were in the bar for HH. There was some confusion about the kitchen and how long it would take to get food. The nice manager (the lady with really pretty hair) clarified the confusion and made sure not only that we got our order in, I think they put a rush on the food order because it came out fairly quickly.
Our server, Eric, was pretty awesome. Very attentive. The one thing I will always subtract a star for is if they don't keep my water glass full. I had to ask multiple times for a refill on the water.
Overall, the food was really good. A friend ordered the scallop entree: big, fat, succulent, golden-seared scallops over a bed of creamy mushroom risotto. I tried a bit. Very good. I ordered the large garden salad and the Zuppa di Mussels in a red sauce (you have a choice of red or white sauce in the mussels). The salad was huge. I just wish they'd eliminate the iceberg lettuce because it's a cheap filler. The mussels dish was huge, and I couldn't finish them so good to have friends who will eat the leftovers.
We had the Mark West Pinot Noir. It was very tasty. It retails for $11 and here they charged much more. I know, I know, sometimes I can't even bring myself to order wine in restaurants anymore knowing about the insane markup. But, sometimes you just got to splurge.
The other bartenders/servers were constantly checking in on us to see how we were doing. The cook came out and asked us how the food was. Nice attention to service and details, Team Pasquale's!
As the night wore on, the bar became quite the little social scene. There was a DJ later on in the night who took our requests and the bar filled up with some pretty cute eye candy. I made a note that I need to hang out in East Longmeadow with my girls real soon.
Nice evening, nice food, and nice service staff.

Great alternative to heading downtown to meet up with friends. The food was  good. I thought the wine was over priced. A glass of Relax Reisling was I think $8.
