Throughout the eighties, life was very busy for Pasquale Barile – he had a wife, three children, four restaurants and 140 employees. But he had just one regret: none of the restaurants bore his name. That changed in 1993. He split amicably with his business partners and kept one of the four locations – the one on Macleod Trail.
He did a complete renovation of the space, working day and night alongside his contractors. He was out to create, “A new era, a new thing, a new face on Macleod Trail. I never looked back." Twelve days later, he put up the sign he had wanted to put up his whole life. It read Pasquales on Macleod.
This was not my first time but for my Mom's 60th Birthday I thought it would be a great place to take the family. Everyone loved the food and we all had a great time.
