Pasquales on Macleod

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.
