One thing Pittsburgh has a lot of is Italian restaurants. There are at least five within 15 minutes of my house. That being said, Pasqualino's is one of my "go tos" when it comes to Italian.
I have to say, I preferred their old location's decor to the new location. It seems sort of industrial and cold in the new place. Especially in the "patio" room which gets cold in the winter. They also changed their menu. There are more appetizer and pizza options but seem to be less dinner/pasta combination options.
Overall, I enjoy my dining experiences here. After eating pasta in Italy, I have found it is hard to find anything in the US that compares. Especially when it comes to bolognese. That being said, one of my favorite dishes here is the bolognese (although I swap out the linguini for angel hair). It has just the right amount of meat and spice. My husband has tried various pastas and his favorite has been the vodka sauce. We have also tried the wood fired pizzas and been happy with the food. They have two portion sizes for their pastas (and some are even available family size/style), but it is almost double the pasta for the larger size so it is very worth it.
The down sides to eating in are the inconsistent service. There are times when it has been really attentive and other times where we had to track down a server for things like water refills or asking for something.
Food is good, service mixed bag and decor just strange. But overall, a great place for an Italian meal.
