Maison Pasquale Brings Charm Of European Markets To Roscoe Village

Maison Pasquale recently opened in Roscoe Village, inspired by the vibrant markets of France and Italy. Co-founders Julia Casale and Patrick Walsh envisioned a specialty food and wine shop that serves as a neighborhood gathering spot. The shop features imported pantry staples, a deli counter with local cheeses and charcuterie, and a curated selection of wines and spirits. Casale, a former luxury hotel food and beverage manager, drew on her family history and European travels to shape the store's offerings. She and Walsh spent three months across Europe sourcing items, many of which are new to the Chicago market.

The location, chosen for its foot traffic and community feel, aims to engage a diverse clientele of families and individuals. Casale envisions the shop as a place for locals to enjoy a quick lunch or discover new products. Maison Pasquale is open Tuesday through Sunday, promoting a vibrant neighborhood atmosphere.
