What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Pascolo Ristorante is praised for its delicious, house-made pasta and inviting atmosphere, with many highlighting the attentive service and appealing ambiance. However, some diners have noted inconsistencies in food preparation, with occasional issues like overcooked dishes. Despite this, the fresh pasta remains a significant draw.
"Our meals were were hands down phenomenal in terms of being delicious, the presentation, being very savory, along with the texture and the immediate timing after prep. The interior design of the restaurant and decor is gorgeous with very high ceiling and awesome appointments throughout. We were right at the 4 sides bar with plentiful seating. The bar tender was exceptional. She was not only very attentive but also quite welcoming, professional, and very friendly throughout our drinks and dinner experience there."

"Our first visit to Burlington and we picked this restaurant based on other reviews. The atmosphere/ vibe of Pascolo Ristorante matches Church Street, the service was excellent as was the food. We had gnocchi and shared a salad."
Maureen Goodrich
"We stopped in Burlington on the way home from a long driving trip to Canada. We drove into town from our hotel and walked to city center to look around.
We found the pedestrian only Church street where there are lots of restaurants and bars. We researched Pascolo from home before we left and it was a good choice. We arrived without a reservation and had to sit outside under the umbrellas. Our waiter was very nice and responsive. We ordered two dishes, one chicken and one pasta, to share. A bottle f sparkling water and a nice glass of Italian red wine made it a nice relaxing dinner."
