Our group of 10 went for Summerlicious. We had reservations and were seated right away.Food was good and portions were a nice size. The staff checked on us regularly which was nice.

My kids and I went to Paisano for lunch. The older server, who acted like a manager, was rude to us. When we arrived and waited to be seated, he shouted "What?" at us, as if he thought we were there for something other than eating. After we handled that and sat down, the rest of the experience became memorable. The garlic cheese bread appetizer was a fantastic start to our delicious meal. My son said the cheese pizza was the best he's ever had.

Had a wonderful dining experience at Paisano. The food was excellent, and the meal options were well thought out. The shrimp risotto was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, while the Caesar salad was fresh and perfectly prepared. The wine paired beautifully with the meal, and the sorbet was a refreshing way to end dinner. Great food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely meal here at Cucina Di Paisano. The ambiance is welcoming and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing and authentically delicious. We went for their winterlicious event. We ordered wine on the side. The Location is accessible and lots of parking. Price was also reasonable. Definitely were coming back.

Parked across this restaurant by accident and decided to give it a try. Very traditonal Italian place, cooked like family style. Their pizza was magnificent, and the pesto base for pasta was delicious as well. Service was professional and friendly, very satisfying experience overall. Cappuccino tastes great too!
