Rhonda’s PickDinnergirls attending: Ang., Carol, Marie, and Rhonda
If you are local to the Denver area, you know about Pasquini’s at 1310 South Broadway and Louisiana. Pasquini’s is a cute and funky little dive that features an upstairs and a downstairs. Guests can either sit upstairs near the bar or sit downstairs in the kitchen action. Pasquini’s tables are small but cozy and tiled with various mosaics. They also feature local artwork on the walls. The Dinnergirls were seated downstairs at a corner table for four. This was a small gathering, and we missed the other girls.
Luckily, the girls had already ordered a large pitcher of red sangria before being seated, and so began our wait. Our server was a bit on the nutty side, and asked us what we wanted to order before seeing a menu. Yes, the place was packed so we decided to be patient. Finally, the menus arrived as we continued to sip glasses of ice-cold sangria.
When we finally decided to order and the server came back, Ang and Carol shared a pizza with fresh basil and herbs (I think), I had STUFFED SHELLS, and Rhonda ordered a huge salad. Dinner prices at Pasquini’s vary from around $8 (small pizza) to $10-20(specialty pastas).
The pizza looked and smelled fabulous and is usually a sure hit at Pasquini’s. Ang and Carol finished their pizza so it must have been great! My stuffed shells were very good. I am somewhat of an Italian food snob, but these were the yummiest stuffed shells I have had at a restaurant. The cheese was bubbly and gooey just the way I like it. The sauce was a little tart for me, but good in my opinion and definitely not Prego. Rhonda’s salad looked crisp and refreshing, but I know that in the back of her mind she wanted my stuffed shells or a nibble of pizza. We were at an Italian restaurant after all.
The sangria was a flowing and the girls chattered away about mother-in-law hell. As we finished Ang decided to order a sub to go. During our long wait for the sub, another table kindly offered us their unfinished pitcher of sangria. Turn down Sangria? I think not. About 20-25 minutes went by and no sub. We think our server was hitting the crack pipe hard that night and neglected us. Alas, the sub arrived and we were on our merry way!
Overall, we still love Pasquini’s right girls? If nothing else, go there for the stuffed shells and a $5 pitcher of sangria! Try sitting upstairs and maybe you will not be in the nutty server section. Don’t worry Katie we still tipped her!
