    We love Paesanos but this last trip was terrible. The food was noticeably bad, and we eat at the other Paesanos restaurants in SA very often. We will not be going back to the river walk location.

    We had a great experience at this location. Definitely recommend getting a reservation ahead of time due to how many people were wanting a table.  the service and food were phenomenal and we will definitely be returning. We had the chicken Parmesan lobster, ravioli, and a side of mozzarella sticks. Very yummy!

    I had the shrimp Paesanos and it was very greasy. I also asked for light sauce and my pasta was greasy as well. I barely finished my meal. My husband had the chicken Marsala and his was burnt. I would not go back.

    This was not the Paesanos I remember; It has not aged well. I did read reviews before we went, and while concerned at the number of negative reviews, thought it just could not be that bad as I had enjoyed it so much in prior years. Very wrong. Previous experiences were great with excellent service, delicious food and quality drinks. Upon entering the restaurant I was shocked to see how run down everything appeared. It was loud and tight…unlike previous times. On this occasion we started by ordering some rose wine by the glass (on the menu) but were informed it would only be sold by the bottle…? Is it dry or sweet? Server didn’t know (and did not offer to find out). After trying our mediocre gin and tonics we approached the bar tender to inquire about other wine options. Turns out rose was available by the glass after all…? I ordered the grilled artichokes which was the highlight of a dismal meal followed by the shrimp Paesanos which was a mess of overly battered shrimp, with a bland butter and lemon sauce, and a pile of sticky pasta in the middle. I would urge folks to read the online reviews before considering going. It really is that bad. Other than its convenient location on the Riverwalk and the great company I was enjoying, I am struggling to come up with much about the experience that was positive. On top of that, it cost us over $200 for meal for three people which, if the experience had been as I remember, would not have been an issue.
