As part of being a transplant from Boston, I like to go out and try different eating venues. High up on the list is finding a quality pizza place with a tell tale crisp, yet foldable slice. Pasquini's had rave revues so I decided to explore. Driving up, the neighborhood was nice and walking in, it was warm and welcoming. That is, until I dealt with the staff. Upon entering, I was just going to order a pizza for take out. Simple enough. Well, there was no hostess to greet me and after 5 mins of standing in front, I had to flag down one of the, count em, SIX waiters just standing around. He told me I would have to order at the bar. Sure thing. Most places, I'd be handled at the bar or up front with a hostess. Sure enough, I walk over to the bar area and am shocked to see only one bartender is manning it. This is around 6:30 on a Sunday so I'm not sure if that's normal for them, but it strikes me odd considering the bar was pretty packed. Anyways, I'm a really relaxed and have an easy-going personality, and I understood the bartender was busy, but after standing at the bar for another 10 mins on top of the previous five minutes waiting to be assisted, I decided Pasquini's did not deserve my money. Of all those waiters just standing around, no one decided to help and the bartender was just as clueless to my intentions. As far as the food, I did see their cheese bread sticks and they looked real tasty but that is as far as I can comment on Pasquini's. Take this for what it's worth, but I would say their service standards did not earn my patronage and I would not go back to try another pointless evening of being overlooked.
Pros: Cheese bread
Cons: Service

Although I have not been to the 17th Ave location, which by reading the reviews is a good thing, I have been to the Broadway location, once. Why only once? It was by far the worst restaraunt experience I have ever had. The service was horrible, it took probably 15-20 minutes before even seeing a server after being seated. After ordering we again waited forever for our food. When we got our food my calzone order was completely wrong. Not the biggest deal in the world, but when it took another 25 minutes to get the right one that was cold by the time it got to me, this was a problem. After waiting 25 minutes for the right calzone no silverware was brought with it, so I patiently waited to see our server to get some. Patiently turned to angrily after about another 15 minutes. Once I had my silverware to eat my cold calzone no attempt to "make good" was made by our server. Needless to say this restaraunt has been forever black-listed by me and I will make every effort to advise others to STAY AWAY! Expensive, mediocre food with HORRIBLE service. I come from Chicago, so I know a good, or even decent pizza/calzone when I have one, I would hesitate to even call my calzone at Pasquini's decent. Looking for an AWESOME pizza? Try Aurelios at Hampden Ave and Happy Canyon, in the Happy Canyon Shopping Center (same parking lot as Safeway). No, I don't work for Aurelios, but it is by far the best thin crust Chicago-esque pizza I have had in Denver. I also highly recommend Famous Pizza (Broadway and Evans AND Broadway and 3rd or so) for a New York style pie.
Pros: Cold water
Cons: Everything else, especially food and service
