Pasquale's Autentico Woodfired Pizza and Bistro — Restaurant in Crossville

Small restaurant that packs a flavor punch! With limited indoor seating and additional tables outside I expected a cramped experience having been in the building on previous occasions. But man was I wrong!

Large windows and a open floor plan where you can view your pizza being made in the wood fired oven (dont worry about the smoke though, they thought of everything!) gave it a cozy and comfortable vibe.

With the basic choices I ordered (just to get a baseline) I was expecting mid food, wrong again! Flavor may as well have smacked me in the face from the fresh basil and oregano to the handmade crust to the mozzarella so fresh and clean tasting I could almost hear the buffalos calling, and tomato (and normally I dislike marinara sauce) so bright I could feel the sunshine in it. Absolutely wonderful!...

What a great addition to the restaurant scene in Crossville! I agree with another reviewer who said that the staff was friendly and welcoming - we found that as well. The menu is creative and the food is delicious! I had the meatball pizza. It was tasty and not too salty which I find to be a frequent problem when I eat out as I try to keep my salt intake reasonable. We also avoid refined sugar (gives migraines to some in my family), and here, they sweeten the crust with honey! Not a big deal for most, but suggests "made in house," to me (I don't know that for sure). I also had an appetizer which included their "Italian Sushi" which was italian ingredients wrapped in prosciutto and drizzled with Balsamic glaze - so it looked like Sushi but was "all Italian." Creative and a treat if you...

First time visit. Supreme Pizza was okay...the olives really made the flavor pop. Nicely turned edges from the wood fired oven, but the bottom nit cooked enough. Maybe the oven was not hot enough. Service was just okay, as they do not have table service. You place your order and pay at the counter and grab a soda from the cooler. I'm not sure if they offer cups of ice...didn't see any with a cup. Super small tables with not enough chairs. Hated the small, cold steel chaies from a hilds school classroom. They need to offer better. There is no atmosphere there... just the pizza oven in the middle of the dining room. Oh, the large pizza was only about an inch larger than the small pizza. Next time, we'll just order a small to share. I had high expectations goibg in, but left a bit...
