Pasquale's - Gardiner

This is my Most Favorite Place to have very good Italian Food. I'm Italian and very picky I might add! I have to say Their Grandma's Pizza is The Best I've ever had!!! It's also my Favorite!!! I grew up on the Lower East side and I lived in the Hudson Valley for 32 years!! I've experienced pizza all around. They are Hands down the Best. The Chicken Quesadillas are out of this world too. The Shrimp Parmesan is very good baked stuffed Shells. Salads are fresh too. The Cobb Salad is huge. The Ingredients they use for their pizza are quality cheeses and sauce . The staff That Cooks it's all up are good at what they Do. Service is Very Good. They Do get very busy at times especially in the summer when the patio gets packed! you just have to be a little patient . It will be worth it. Prices are reasonable. I Highly recommend it , in the most Beautiful Town I think, in The Hudson Valley. This Restaurant, Trattoria is a Gem within it. I felt compelled to review it because I think it deserves more than 3 stars.

We had found a driving tour of the Hudson Valley and it said that Gardiner had cute shops and restaurants. When we got to Gardiner, we were hungry and we didn't see many restaurants. Pasquale's had a nice patio so we stopped. They have a large selection of pizzas by the slice. The pizza was good and the patio was pleasant.

We just picked up a large cheese pizza and it's even better than I remember! Perfectly charred crust, the right proportion of sauce to melty cheese. What more can you want from pizza?

Stopped in on the way home from New Paltz (we live about 20 mins from the restaurant), grabbed a few slices (margarita-soooo good, meatball and bbq chicken ranch with pepperoni-hubby said they were both ok, he thought they'd be more flavorful) and I also had the eggplant parm slider which was amazing. The service was quick and they were super friendly and helpful. We also got 2 sodas and the total bill was about $22, imo that's a bargain! I'd def stop in again.

No pictures because we hiked in Minnewaska and showed up RAVENOUS. This place is awesome! Quiet, outdoor seating, nice music, this was exactly what we needed after ignoring trail markers and needlessly adding 4 miles to our hike. The cheese and white-broccoli slices were perfectly cooked and delicious. Our group also downed some mini meatball sliders and a slice of BBQ chicken (which was pretty robust but flavored very well)
