Paesano in Little Italy was excellent from start to finish. We ordered the calamari and the bruschetta, which was fresh and phenomenal. Then for the entrees we ordered fra diavolo, chicken parmesan, gnocchi, and linguini pescatore—and every dish was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The fra diavolo had great heat, the chicken parm was crispy and classic, the gnocchi were soft and pillowy, and the seafood pasta was fresh and well-balanced. Consistent, well-executed Italian food done right. We’ve gone twice and we’d return again and again! Thank you <3.

We came to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Since we arrived without a reservation, we expected to wait in line, but the wait wasn’t long, about 15 minutes. They immediately brought us bread, filled our glasses with fresh water, and gave us the menus. They very attentively explained the dishes we were going to order and which wine would best complement them. The place was completely full, yet the bottle of wine and food arrived in 20 minutes. My sister ordered pasta quattro Formaggi, and I was given a bistec primavera. The pasta was perfectly cooked and smelled wonderful. The flavor was well-balanced; for my bistec primavera, the vegetables were perfectly cooked, and the sauce was good. Unfortunately, my steak wasn’t good. I ordered it medium-well, and they gave me a well-done steak, which I have no problem with, but the meat itself was tough. I only ate the vegetables and a little bit of steak. To finish our meal, we ordered a slice of tiramisu with a candle to celebrate the occasion. When the waitstaff brought it out, they sang “Happy Birthday” to my sister, which was a lovely touch, and they do it regularly for everyone celebrating their birthday (don’t forget to ask!). The bill didn’t exceed $150, and we were very satisfied.

We had a really good time here. We were looking for the classic little Italy experience and nailed it. The food was good. We got the spaghetti and meatballs, chicken alfredo, carbonara, and rigatoni alla vodka. All were good. We looked on reddit and it recommended this place as the best Italian food in Little Italy. We were pleased. The way the decorate the restaurant is great as well. All in all we were happy with the experience. Grazie Paesano.

Solid Italian spot in Little Italy ✨
Food hits the mark and surprisingly not heavy — rare for Italian places here.
Started with Fried Calamari Marinara — super fresh, nice bounce, not greasy
Risotto Pescatore had plenty of seafood, flavors were clean and not overwhelming
Osso Buco with risotto was great too — big portion, meat was fall-apart tender, still light
Service was friendly and efficient
Two pastas are more than enough for two people ✌️
Perfect spot if you’re wandering around Little Italy, definitely worth a return ❤️

i came here with a friend and i’ve heard all good things about this place so i went to go try it! my friend and i got the lunch special house salad and fried chicken alfredo and both were good and filled us up rlly fast! their soft drinks are $3.50 but they do refills so it may be worth it to get it if you’d like. they gave us free bread and the only thing i didn’t like was that the chairs were a little wobbly and the bathroom wasn’t the cleanest, but besides that i liked this place and would return again, especially for their lunch deals!

I absolutely love this place, Ive been here 4 times and have always had the best service and food. The service is excellent, they treat you so well. My favorite is the rigatoni alla vodka. This past time I went I got the Combo deal (ask for it, its not on the menu) where you get 3 pastas and a salad for $25. I also had a Hugo Spritz that was amazing. Highly recommend. PS: if you do a birthday here, my mom called ahead and they did a nice dessert with personalized writing.

I enjoyed a warm welcome! This is the first time I had an amazing seafood pasta with vodka sauce. I gave up on ordering seafood pasta at resturants because I usually get more pasta then the seafood. This meal could feed 2 people as our server suggested.

Picked this place out of all the Italian restaurants in the area and glad we did. Service was great and we elected to eat outside, even in March. Started out with the fresh bread and garlic sauce and it was delicious. Our server was very informative and helped us decide on our meals. I had the steak pizzeria and it was delicious, but the steak was tough. The pasta dishes were some of the best I have ever tasted. Overall we were well pleased with our meal.
