    Came here on a Wednesday afternoon and it had a lively vibe, but it wasn't very busy. My friend and I chose to sit outside where there were two tables available -- one smaller for two people and one slightly bigger. After being seated at the smaller table, I asked the host if we could sit at the larger one instead. The larger table only seated four, so it wasn't like we were asking for their biggest table. There were no other parties waiting and plenty of open seating inside, but the host still denied the request and said it was only for larger parties. That didn't sit right with me, especially since it wasn't busy, I'd definitely understand on the weekend but that wasn't the case. It felt unnecessary to prioritize a party that wasn't even there yet over guests who were already present. After that, we were seated and it did take a little while for someone to come over, but once our waiter arrived, they were very kind and service picked up quickly. Drinks and our appetizer came out fast. The appetizer was actually the highlight of the meal -- we enjoyed it more than our sandwiches. For our main meals, my friend and I both got sandwiches and they were just okay. Nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. My friend ordered the Philly cheesesteak and mentioned it was lacking in meat and felt like mostly bread in some bites. They did have a cool pizza special going on that sounded really good, and honestly we probably should've gone with that instead. Overall, the experience was just average. Not terrible, but not something I'd go out of my way for again. I would come back and try something else next time.

    Vodka Pasta ft. appetizer (bread rolls smothered in garlic butter and parmesan) pro tip cut open the roll and scoop the butter on top

    Located in midtown so find the nearest metered parking and walk. They were open on Easter Sunday and we were able to be seated right away for an early dinner (party of 5) Elevated pizza and pasta spot. I ordered the penne vodka pasta and at first the sauce was too acidic but as leftovers later that night it was perfect! If i had more of an appetite I would have added crispy chicken. The side garlic bread that comes with it is a big slice and perfectly buttered and seasoned. I would definitely come back to try the other options! However, the soda options are on the Pepsi/Starry variety which is not appealing to me.

    Rigatoni alla Vodka
    Lili M.

    I have been here numerous times with friends and family for dinner and I never get tired of their delicious food. My friend initially brought me here and introduced me to the amazing bocce balls. We get these every time we come here together, but the other appetizers are also worth trying! The fried ravioli was a hit with my family. Usually when I come I get the fettuccine arrostiti which is so delicious and filling, and recently I tried the rigatoni alla vodka which was amazing. They have staple items on their menu and specials too, the menu I believe may differ depending on the location you go to but won't only slightly. At this location I've never had to wait long to be seated and they have indoor and outdoor (covered) seating. The inside can get pretty busy and noisy, but the service is good.

    We came here for lunch on Sunday. The waitress seated us quickly and offered us water while we looked over the menu. They have a kids' menu, which is a plus, and the price is affordable; it comes with an ice cream bar. We had kid pasta with meat sauce, polenta fries, spaghetti Parmesano and lemon pistachio linguine. We're having a good time, enjoying our food. The fries were really crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The linguine was quite delicious and unique taste. My husband enjoyed his spaghetti very much. The staff was friendly, and parking is on the street.

    Bocce Balls

    Paseanos was a great experience. I went with a friend for dinner. We each got a delicious pasta dish. I got the campellini pomodoro and my friend got rigatoni allá vodka. I also got a nice Riesling to drink. We both enjoyed our meals and took some home for lunch the next day. We also shared the bocce balls, so delicious! Definitely recommend those. I would come back and dine again. The service was good. Our sever did seem a little overwhelmed but it was very busy. He forgot our drinks for a little while, but they eventually made it to our table.

    *Sicilian Pizza (Gluten Intolerant)
    Nirnaya L.

    Overall a good value for money! We got polenta fries - which was huge and really good. It is on the heavier side so order rest of your meals accordingly. The kids got kids pizza and pasta and they were happy with their food. We also ordered Sicilian pizza and it was a tad bit too salty. Staff were really nice and the best part is that they give play doh for the kids, and there's ice cream bar and milk included as part of their $8 meal. Can't beat it!

    Pork Fusilli
    Sophana P.

    The Pork Fusilli is consistently my preferred dish. The pork is remarkably moist and complements the pasta beautifully. The calamari is invariably prepared to perfection. These two dishes pair exceptionally well together.

    Daily special pasta
    Jetrina M.

    I went here for lunch with my cousin on a Thursday afternoon. No wait and we were seated quickly inside. We ordered the sopressata hot honey pizza along with the daily special pasta (linguine with shrimp in a spicy sauce) and two side salads to share. Salad came out quickly but the food took a bit of a long time to come out - not sure if they were just waiting for us to finish our salad. I enjoyed the flavor of the hot honey pizza and the thinness and crispiness of the crust. The pasta was ok but I would probably not get it again as I think their pizza was better. Total for 2 dishes and 2 side salads was ~$60 pre-tip, so a bit on the pricier side. Street parking only, we found free parking around the corner. They have both indoor seating and a front covered patio.

    Love Paesanos, great food, low key, good service, vibrant and noisy in a good way, they have always been accommodating, best of all, I've never had a mediocre meal here. When I crave comfort food, Paesanos is the first place that comes to mind. They also have a great bar, though, it's always crowded, I guess that speaks to the quality of service, customer experience is paramount, and Paesanos delivers!

    This please is one of the best Italian restaurants in town. The deep fried ravioli and meatballs are to die for. I also had the Alfredo which was AMAZING

    Had a wonderful time at Paesanos today for lunch. So many great options that it's hard to choose! We started with the meatballs for some protein. They were delicious. I love the bread her as well! We also order half a Greek pizza and half Sicilian -eight slice total. The Sicilian was ok, but the Greek was so good! Def would order that again. Overall a good time, appreciate our servers patience with us as we looked over the menu and had a few questions. It was nice and quiet for a Sunday afternoon. And of course, we will be back!

    Paesanos always has great quality pastas and pretty generous portions. I love getting their fried ravioli. It is so delicious, flavorful, and crispy. It was my first time trying their pizzas here, and it was pretty good! Thin crust pizza, and average size. The service was friendly. He got everything we needed and checked up on us a good amount of times. We sat in their extended room, which was cool, but there was no ambiance to it LOL it really is just an extra room for customers to eat in.

    Combo *Paesanos Combination
    Chef Will G.

    This place is in midtown and just has a chill vibe. Met my daughter for lunch, we love this place. Calamari Always good. Combo Pizza Pepperoni, Molinari Italian sausage and cremini mushrooms. Delicious, nice crust. Grilled Chicken Sandwich Provolone, toasted tomatoes, caramelized onions on artesian roll. Explosion of flavors, roll so fresh. It is a bit on the sweet side. Side Green Salad Fresh crisp produce very simple with heirloom tomatoes, I liked it alot. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Her name was 'D F' per the receipt.

    This place is still my favorite pizza place in the city. Just great pizza that you can get whole or…read moreby the slice. I usually get a half-pepperoni and half cheese pizza. The cheese pizza here is great; it's topped with dollops of ricotta and ribbons of fresh basil. They have a daily special: the Dino slice, which I'll often get as well. Sometimes the toppings are fun (e.g. pickles) and other times more run-of-the-mill (e.g. salami, bell peppers, etc) but I've never been disappointed even when I thought the flavors would be odd. They used to be pretty good about posting on Instagram what was on the Dino slice was, but I don't see it quite as often these days. If you're into saucing up your pizza, you can get ranch or hot honey or Dino sauce. It's been a while since I had the Dino sauce, but I recall it being tangy and cilantro-y with a bit of a spice kick. It sounds a bit different/odd, but I like getting it from time to time. The Dino eggs, from my recollection, are basically pizza dough balls. Mostly bread, which is fine since their bread/pizza crust is great, but I'd rather just stick to the pizza, so I only tried these once. The fries are good. Though, I probably wouldn't order them alongside the pizza unless you're looking for a carb bomb of a meal (which is what I had done the one time I ordered them). They're probably best if you're just looking for a snack to go with your beer & aren't planning on eating a whole bunch of pizza. They're quite good though. Nice and crispy. And it's a pretty big serving size. They have a dozen or so taps of various beers. Some local, some not. And they have a selection of cans and bottles as well. There isn't a ton of inside seating. A half dozen or so tables? And a few bar seats. There's probably more total seats in front and in the outside side patio. There's only street parking & there's lots of small shops nearby, so you might have to take a short walk from your car to get there.

    Pizzasaurus Rec is a small cozy spot that gets a lot of foot traffic. Service is good and our…read moreslices came out quick. I like that you can order by the slice or a whole pizza. My partner and I ordered the dino slice which was a chicken, artichoke, spinach, olive pizza was well as a pepperoni to share. My partner loved the dino slice and I'm more of a plain pizza girl so I preferred the pepperoni. I would like to try the potato pizza one day. Hoping it's offered as a dino slice when we go next!

I got the very last classic cheese square available that day and a slice of pepperoni & Hawaiian. I really like the thinner crust on the pizza and felt both slices were super fresh & not too oily (personal pet peeve). The cheese square was yummy and a pretty good size, so I can understand the hype!! I would want to try their other flavors of square. After our meal I saw they have offered soft serve on their menu and the staff told me the flavors are always changing!

This was a very interesting yet delicious pizza that I wouldn't mind getting again for a change in taste. I love carbs so that's the reason for my rating.
