BEST PLACE EVER! We just moved to the Woodruff area and have been here for three months and haven’t found a restaurant we liked until today. The waitress was the sweetest lady and she had perfect timing the entire evening. The food is freshly made in the kitchen (even the cheese) and our meals were perfectly cooked and flavorful! We are definitely going to be regulars here! My fiancee even said that he hasn’t had a salad like theirs in years! Definitely make the trip here, you won’t be disappointed!
From the moment we stepped into this charming Italian gem, we knew we were in for something special. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy and elegant, with warm lighting and soft music that instantly transports you to a trattoria in the heart of Italy. For our mains, the homemade pasta stole the show. The fettuccine alfredo was creamy without being heavy, and the lasagna had layers of rich flavor that clearly came from hours of loving preparation. Every bite tasted like it was made from scratch with high-quality ingredients. The service was just as impressive. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and had great wine pairing suggestions that complemented our meal beautifully. And to finish it all off, the tiramisu was light, luscious, and easily one of the best we've ever had. This restaurant is a true culinary treasure, and we’ll absolutely be returning. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic, heartfelt Italian cuisine!
We've been eating at Paisano's for several years. Their house pizza is our all-time favorite. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. The food arrives quickly and is always delicious. This restaurant is one where you can arrive shortly before closing and still receive gracious service and quality food.
Great food and polite staff. Our Pizza was awesome and really enjoyed the Greek beverages!
Food was very good. I had the special which was short rib ravioli my wife had a Greek salad. Service was adequate. The dining room could use some TLC but it's not bad.
I ordered takeout, the girls and service was top notch . I would say inside is somewhat generic but nice.
You won't go wrong stopping in at Paisano's! My only problem with going there is I can't stop ordering pizza. It is so good that I basically tell myself the same lie almost every time I go. It kinda goes like this: "Hmm, I'm gonna try the...this time." And somehow, when it's time to order, I'm ordering pizza. Well, at least I can say that I've never gone wrong with that decision. As far as the other offerings, others in my party have always been satisfied. The pizza ingredients are fresh and tasty, and the cheese is great. The crust is a cross between a hand toss and pan (if it is such a thing). They are very filling and satisfying, but be careful because you will eat an entire small alone. But I don't recommend it. Share a slice if you can bring yourself to so. If you don't, that's fine also, Mr. Greedy person. I've done it, too, and was down for a nap. But I had to back to work...
Traveling for work, read the reviews, and was intrigued. It did not disappoint! I couldn’t decide between Italian or Greek so went with both manicotti and baklava. It was delicious, fresh, and the best I’ve had in a while. My compliments to the chef. Great atmosphere, fun decor, friendly staff (Kaitlyn), and delicious food. Highly recommend.
