When you walk in it's like stepping back in time in the best way. The food is delicious, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is cozy. 10/10 will come back again and again.

If you’re looking for some affordable Italian food that will hit the spot, make sure to try this place out. The staff is really nice and accommodating. My favorite is Catherine because she always goes above and beyond my expectations. I have tried many different meals here over the years, and never have had a bad experience. The owner is a super genuine guy. It’s a local spot you cannot miss

So glad we stopped in! It felt like going back in time to our childhood, with the big, heavy menus and the chairs on rollers. The food was not gourmet; rather it tasted perfectly homemade. The meatball and sausage were very tasty, the ravioli was full and soft, and the lasagna texture was on point, but the chicken penne Alfredo took the cake - expertly seasoned but not too heavy. Great desserts, too. Quaint, vintage, and delicious - we can't wait to come back and try the pizza!

The food and the people who serve you at Paisano’s can’t be beat. My favorite it the Eggplant Parmesan with a glas of Pinot Grigio served by Liz

First time here and Food was GREAT !!! Real Italian food.. We had the Chicken Parm and the Chicken Roma with white sauce. Felt like we were back home in NY eating in Little Italy... The gravy (Sauce) was delicious. Our waitress was awesome and from Los Angeles California.......We will be back.....

I am not sure why this place is not full every night. The food was very good, I had veal Marsala and the flavor was great but the meat was a little tough or I would have given 5 stars for the food. the price is reasonable and the service was excellent i came on a Tuesday and there was no one in the restaurant. I am baffled. Maybe it was the day of the week. I would recommend this place.
