This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Pasquale DeSiervi 79 years old , born on October 29, 1939 and passed away on December 23, 2018. The love of his life Joanne Brooks was by his side.
Pat was a true New Yorker thru and thru. He moved to California in the 1960's to help his Aunt Elsie and Uncle Romeo Salto with Chianti's in Hollywood. There Pat developed the restaurant bug and love of the business. Pat was fortunate enough to meet Fred Astaire, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra and Johnny Carson to name a few of the starts that frequented Chianti's.
Pat's dream was to bring New York Italian table side cuisine and New York pizza to the west coast. He wanted to mimic the wonderful Iomio family Sunday dinners. He offered a place people can call home and feel like part of the family. He began with Pasquale's in Thousand Oaks, California and then opened Chianti's in Vancouver, Washington. Many remember him as "Pizza Pat" from New York, NY in Portland, Oregon. His last adventure was Napoli Restaurant in Milwaukie, Oregon.
Andrea and Jeremy gifted him a sign that said it all:
" Enter as strangers and leave as friends".
In Pat's younger years he enjoyed playing drums, swing dancing, gambling, and golfing. He felt blessed by his two children Joey and Dina.
Pat loved us all and will be missed. He is survived by his children Joey , Dina and Eddie DeSiervi. The love of his life,Joanne Brooks and their children Teresa Daggett, Steve Rau, Brian Brooks, Darin Brooks, 9 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.
We will remember him forever.
