Pasqualino's Italian Restaurant

My husband and I both had the stuffed shells with a meatball. It was excellent! The best shells I ever had. I love their sauce and they give you a huge roll to enjoy all that lovely, tasty sauce. The waitress was very attentive and sweet. We will be back....

Where do I start? We’re from Ohio—so we obviously can’t come here every weekend (gas prices, am I right?). But this is the second time we’ve made it a point to stop here when we were in the area.

The Yinziano pizza—chef’s kiss.

The gnocchi? Fresh, soft and flavorful.

The meatballs? I could eat a dozen (I will never be a skinny man).

The sauce is also top-notch.

Listen: if you’re nearby, just go. I can’t wait until the next time we’re in the area. Or, they can relocate to my neck of the woods. I would go once a week minimum

Tourist here looking for family owned. Not very busy although they had a steady stream of to go orders. I had chicken parm over rigatoni. Not a big fan of rigatoni but since it was stated in the menu title I didn't want to change it. Excellent piece of chicken and a very tangy red sauce. Yes, the Sicilian in me added a little sugar. Prices are cheap! Service was great. Atmosphere is more casual, but that works for me.

What a great find! In the area for work, read the great reviews and I was not disappointed! The Arancini were crisp outside and creamy and delicious inside. The sauce tastes like a celebration of the best tomatoes and the eggplant in my Pasta Melanzana were bite sized and crispy outside and perfectly cooked inside. Neither the Arancini or the eggplant had even a hint of greasiness! Wow this place is a treasure!! Spotless as well!
Bonus: they offer small plates as well!

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.

We had a delicious lunch date today! Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the half size eggplant parmesan sandwich and a side of fries, my husband had the half steak sandwich and a side of fries. The pictures don't do justice of how large the sandwiches were! The bread was fresh and perfectly toasted. Very affordable, less than $20 for both meals.
We would love to come back for a pasta dinner sometime. 😊

Food was good. Nice size place with fast and friendly service. Definitely wanna go back and try the Yinziano crust for the pizza next time.

The best pasta sauce I’ve ever eaten. I had spinach stuffed shells with meatballs. My mom had cheese ravioli with meatballs. Took a pizza home for later. Very, very good.

Excellent meatball sandwich...1st time there... people were nice and the service was fast... that's what I like!
I'ma spread the word to those who don't know!

This IS the BEST homemade Italian food in Pittsburgh and surrounding region! No doubt.
Call ahead and order for pick up, or get here and eat quick then! Absolutely Delicioso!!! 😍

Does not get any better if you are craving Italian food. Excellent every time. My fave is the stuffed shells. Very filling. Rich sauce. Quality meatballs without a lot of filler. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend for sit down or take out. Bonus……..they have Turners Iced Tea! EAT LOCAL!

Everything you want in a red sauce Italian joint. Incredibly friendly service, huge portions and super low prices. Wonderful pizza, great eggplant pasta, delicious sauce.

This the best kept secret in penn hills. The food and service are really good. I go in to buy their chocolate chip cookies 2x/wk

The food is good with reasonable price. I gave 5 stars purely because of the service and how fast it is considering how busy they were on friday night.

Excellent pizza, especially the square pizza. Almost always get takeout, but eat-in is good.

By far some of the best Italian food my family has ever had. The service was friendly and very prompt I would highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

I almost didn't come because of the one star review left two weeks ago by Alisia but I'm glad I decided to ignore that idiot who leaves nothing but negative reviews and go on the other reviews instead

When we visit Pittsburgh we make sure to eat there every time. There meatballs are to die for.

Best down to earth restaurant in Penn Hills!!
Great food and a place where the owner still says "Hi!" Even when it's a full house. Frank, Natalie, and the crew are always there for all your comfort food needs in 2024!!

Had lunch there today...small stuffed shells dinner with one meatball....excellent food. They were shortstaffed and handled it well. Shells were large enough for leftovers and they were excellent also.

Pizza to go. Had a meatball sandwich there last week that was fantastic. Best kept secret around 😉
