It came with a choice of potato and I went with baked potato. Great combo. I did also order the side salad to start and loved the dressing. I didn't have a drink here but they looked fantastic.

Paisano's on Broadway occupies a unique--and important--place in Richmond's dining landscape…read more Credit where it's due: Phil and Karen Gilardi were instrumental in elevating the town beyond pure fast-food dependence. They recognized early that Richmond sits on a corridor of movement--Chicago flowing north toward Lake Geneva, that Midwestern analogue to the Riviera--and made a legitimate attempt to create a stop where people could sit down, slow down, and share a meal. I still remember my first visit, back when Paisano's had maybe five tables. I was seated next to none other than Dan Rostenkowski, then Speaker of the House. That moment captured something about the place: it aspired to be part of a broader, more connected world than Richmond typically experiences. The concept has always been clear--family-style, approachable Italian, positioned as a step above casual dining. And to their credit, they've maintained consistency over the years. That said, the food itself lands squarely in the "acceptable" category. Not offensive, not memorable--reliably mediocre. It satisfies the requirement of a meal without ever quite justifying a detour. Yet here's the reality: within a five-mile radius, Paisano's remains the only place where you can reasonably take someone on a sit-down date without apology. That alone gives it staying power. Paisano's isn't trying to be extraordinary--and it doesn't quite get there. But it filled a vacuum when it arrived, and in many ways, it still does.

Absolutely nothing to rave about. The food is barely even mid. The marinara sauce is horrendous…read more Tastes like it's straight out of a jar but our server claimed everything was made in house. I got the chicken parmigiana with marinara and bowtie noodles and the breading was falling off the entire piece of chicken. It was poorly coated. The chicken was also tough and dry, and severely overcooked. The noodles were well over cooked and so saggy I couldn't even get them on my fork. I gave up on the pasta part of my meal. Their wine list, given that they're an Italian restaurant, is sad. Only 1 option for basically each type of wine. Our server was not very friendly and seemed to have an attitude. He never checked in. Our glasses had been empty and he never bothered to ask if we wanted another round or even more water. We had to chase down other servers to ask. And it was not busy at all. The hostess even seemed to have an attitude when we arrived. I don't recommend and I will not be returning.

But then, who doesn't love restaurants that serve delicious food, at reasonable prices, in a clean, quaint setting, with friendly service? My wife and I have been here many times and have never left disappointed. I highly recommend starting out with the Bruschetta. It is very good. Some of our favorite entrees include: Ravioli Rosa, Chicken Parmigiana (the breading on the chicken is wonderful), Lasagna, and Shrimp alla Diavolo. The soup of the day is always homemade and delicious! They also have great pizza! This is one of the best Italian Restaurants in Lake County. But don't take my word for it...go see for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

The brisket was better than the pork. The only thing I wished was that I wanted it to be more smoky. The barbecue pork was decent, but I would definitely want to try the ribs during the weekend. He was very nice and very accommodating and added in some sweet pickled jalapeños, which were phenomenal. The brisket sandwich was definitely a good hit. Had the coleslaw and mac & cheese...and that was not bad at all!Had a little bit more mayo than expected with a tad of vinegar, which was OK. Overall, it was a very good lunch/dinner. (by the way, I liked the Kansas City better than the Texas but Texas sauce was also very good! They make their own homemade sauce by the way ) Nick was a great conversational piece and they are going to be starting with a food truck pretty soon which is gonna be pretty neat. He does take a lot of pride in his work, and it shows! So I guess keep an eye open for that. Nice job, Nick. I'll give you the next star an update this review once I have your ribs. Is that a Deal?

Everyone enjoyed their meals quite a bit, although no one was happy with the poppers as the jalapeños were inedible (far too rubbery to get your teeth through).
