    I had made a reservation far in advance for March 12, and even confirmed. Arrived at restaurant in advance, presented name, and we were seated. Our waiter (who saved the experince for us) came over dropped water and took drink orders, came back with drinks and took appitzer order. Then the hostess came over and TOLD us that we had to move, she explained that she made a mistake and had to move us. Asled for the manager and when she came over in stead of appoligizing and asking us to move politely, she demanded that we move. In the end we did not move. Our waiter was outstanding (Atlas? was his name), the appitizers were outstanding, the wine selection was good, and the portion size was large. The staff here is great, the management is horrible.

    The atmosphere was loud but not so much so that I couldn’t hear my husband talk to me. The staff were all fantastic and I was very happy to eat here. I have multiple food allergies and yet was able to eat an appetizer, main course and a dessert. I am allergic to gluten and lemons. Plus more but none that pertain to this restaurant. It is a bit on the pricey side but the portions make it worth it. I had enough to bring home and have a couple of meals after the fact. Great restaurant!

    We ordered a “meat lovers” style pizza which was tasty. Also ordered fettuccine Alfredo and added grilled chicken to it. It can out with a breaded breast. We didn’t return it and just went with it. It was a mistake. The entire dish lacked flavor. The pasta was dry and kind of hard; it def needed way more Alfredo sauce. The breaded chicken breast was ok. I would go back for pizza, if that’s what I wanted, but would not order the pasta again. Honestly, prob the worst fettuccine Alfredo w chicken that I’ve had in a very, very long time. On the bright side, our waitress LORI was outstanding and phenomenal. She delivered in all aspects and the restaurant should be proud to have waiters like her! Great job LORI!

    Paesanos Italian Restaurant – A Perfect Afternoon! 🍝🍕🍷 Had an amazing afternoon at Paeseanos Italian Restaurant with my girls squad! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. We started with the bruschetta, which was fresh and full of flavor, followed by a delicious salad that hit the spot. The pizzas and pasta were beyond amazing—so authentic and full of rich, hearty flavors! 🍕🍝 And let’s talk about dessert—absolutely heavenly! 🍰😍 Every bite was a sweet delight, the perfect way to end our meal. The service was top-notch, and our server Tiffany was beyond wonderful—attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better! Highly recommend this place for a cozy, delicious Italian meal! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨

    Got seated outside; very nice view of the river giving a nice ambiance. Our server made some nice wine recommendations, they have a unique wine selection. Service was alright, our server was pretty occupied with a lot of tables. Food is ok. For appetizers, get the sampler for two if you want to try different items (calamari, garlic shrimp, fried artichokes). Crab stuffed salmon is alright, pasta is tasty but the filling is more of a bread-stuffing with some crab. Lobster ravioli is large but I don’t think it’s made in-house fresh. Being on the Riverwalk, it’s a convenient dining option.
