Excellent vibe and service! Something told me to get in this 30-year old masterpiece. I met a well-dressed waiter whom I knew since Catholic school! He and his staff gave me the best food and service in all of Bronx Little Italy! From the seafood pasta to the ice cream toffee, I loved everything Pasquale’s Rigoletto had to offer: food and an elegant atmosphere.

Me and my wife arrived ahead of our scheduled valentine’s day reservation time we was seated in a timely manner. The hostowner was very pleasant and courteous. The service was not as good as I read in the other reviews. There was one of the wait staff a guy named frankco who definitely knew how to show me & my wife exceptional customer service if wasn’t for him checking on us a few times and making sure our glasses stayed full we might have died from being thirsty a few time valentine’s night lol . The food was amazing overall going to give em a try agai. let’s see how the wait service does next go around.

It’s been a few years but PR has been on our mind since we dined there on a Saturday night. The atmosphere and live entertainment was legendary. The families welcomed my family as their own. if you are looking for classic Italian food with old world charm this is your place. The food was great!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had in New York! Excellent food and service, wine and desert. Atmosphere is wonderful. We ate here with a large group of more than 50 people and the staff did a great job of keeping up with great service. Eight course meal including breads, cheese, pasta, greens, ravioli, chicken and more. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks!

Pasquale’s Rigoletto – An Authentic Italian Gem in the Bronx
Pasquale’s Rigoletto is hands down one of my absolute favorite Italian restaurants. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported straight to Italy. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with pristine white linen tablecloths, elegantly contrasted by dark napkins, and a beautifully designed bar area that sets the perfect mood for a memorable dining experience. The staff is incredibly polite and attentive, making you feel right at home. Nicki, in particular, is the epitome of hospitality—welcoming, engaging, and ensuring that every guest feels special.
Let’s talk about the food—because that’s where Pasquale’s Rigoletto truly shines.
As soon as you’re seated, you’re presented with an authentic Italian dish that immediately sets the tone for the evening—roasted red peppers paired with sharp provolone cheese, all drizzled with high-quality olive oil. Enjoying this with a glass of perfectly paired Cabernet Sauvignon is the ideal way to begin your Italian culinary adventure.
Mozzarella in Carrozza – I couldn’t resist this classic dish, and I’m so glad I didn’t! This perfectly fried mozzarella sandwich was golden and crispy, reminiscent of an Italian sunset. The mozzarella stretched for miles, and the marinara sauce was fresh, aromatic, and bursting with balanced flavors. It was so delicious that I devoured it before I could even take a picture—a true testament to how amazing it was.
Ravioli with Pesto and Shrimp – This dish was pure perfection. The ravioli was fresh and delicate, enveloped in a creamy, nutty pesto sauce that was vibrant and packed with flavor. The generous portion of shrimp was cooked to perfection, adding a delightful seafood touch. My husband couldn’t resist scraping the plate to get every last drop of the pesto—it was that good!
Pollo e Gamberoni Alla Francese – The balance of lemon and white wine in this dish was flawless. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, while the shrimp added a delightful twist. The portion was so generous that I had enough for a late-night snack—always a win! Served with perfectly cooked penne, al dente and seasoned just right, it was a dish that left me completely satisfied.
To end the evening on a sweet note, the homemade Tiramisu was the perfect conclusion. Creamy, with the perfect balance of ladyfingers, mascarpone, and espresso, it was a true dolce delizioso. Not overly sweet, just the right finish to an exceptional meal.
Pasquale’s Rigoletto captures the essence of authentic Italian cuisine, delivering a dining experience that feels like a journey through Italy. Whether you’re a local or visiting from out of town, this restaurant is a must-visit. If you’re looking for top-notch Italian dishes, attentive service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, look no further. I can’t recommend Pasquale’s Rigoletto highly enough—you’ll leave with a full heart and an even fuller stomach.
Buon Appetito

Just absolutely the best Italian food and experience I’ve ever had. We came to visit NYC from Memphis and we wanted an authentic Italian experience. We were definitely steered in the right direction here. It was about a 15-20 minute walk from the nearest subway stop but well worth it. Save room in your stomachs because everything here is awesome. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to us even though we were quite obvious tourists.

The owner has clearly lost all passion for this business and it is unclear why they are still operating.
I first went in 2023 and my dater order a pasta dish with prosciutto and it had a terrible dog drool after taste, as if it had been sliced long ago and oxidized.
More recently December 2025 we went back because a family friend insisted that we eat there because they have parking (terrible reason to pick a restaurant) despite my warning. Nonetheless I hoped that they had improved or that our last visit was a mishap.
Nope. The waitstaff was friendly and responsive but the food was ghastly and so expensive despite the terrible quality. The caprese salad featured three gmo grocery store unripe tomatoes slices and three slices of mozzarella with dried oregano tossed on top—no olive oil, no balsamic, no salt, just huge cold chunks of unripe tomatoes and mozzarella for $14
The main course was even worse. Chicken roletini featured chicken that was clearly defrosted in the microwave and chewy topped with a vinegar based sauce that truly did taste like vomit for $28.
Also, in terms of the facilities, they have no right to pretend that this is a fine dinning establishment considering the obvious disrepair. For example the women’s bathroom is missing a handle for the faucet.
Please retire or sell or find someone passionate about food to take over.

My wife and I have not been to the restaurant due to health challenges in a while. But now that we are well and back this is the best place to have a great meal. It was so nice to see Vinnie and he was the greatest host as usual! If you have never been to this restaurant you are missing this jewel!
