We had a lovely meal here at Cucina Di Paisano. The ambiance is welcoming and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing and authentically delicious. We went for their winterlicious event. We ordered wine on the side. The Location is accessible and lots of parking. Price was also reasonable. Definitely were coming back.

Parked across this restaurant by accident and decided to give it a try. Very traditonal Italian place, cooked like family style. Their pizza was magnificent, and the pesto base for pasta was delicious as well. Service was professional and friendly, very satisfying experience overall. Cappuccino tastes great too!

Wanted to like it more but came out just okay. No bread to start, odd for an Italian place not to have bread. A small slice of bread came with pasta mains. Mains were decent but seemed pre-prepared and heated up upon ordering. Decent flavour on their pasta dishes but lacks depth and complexity. My tiramisu at the end was still frozen in the middle too.

Had a great experience at Paisano. We ordered the Veggie Lovers Pizza and the Paneer Cheese Parmigiana, and both were delicious.
The Veggie Lovers Pizza had tomatoes and cheese, together they were especially flavourful, creating a rich, well-balanced base with a perfectly baked crust and plenty of fresh veggies. The Paneer Cheese Parmigiana was equally impressive; the paneer was soft, well-seasoned, and delicious, pairing beautifully with the sauce and cheese.
Overall, the food was satisfying and well prepared. Definitely a good spot for vegetarian Italian dishes. Would happily order again.

We tried their brunch menu which are not bad! I like the rustic omelette. It’s full of everything ham,mushroom onion peppers and etc. The portion is big. I really like their green salad. The fruit is so sweet lol. My brother ordered the three and three. He likes it and satisfy his appetite very much.

had a great time here with my friends. I ordered the pepper steak Alfredo and the seafood risotto for my friend – both were delicious. The Biscoff cheesecake was excellent as well. Samira was especially kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend.

I had a wonderful Christmas Eve early dinner here! The pasta was delicious and the vegetable soup was incredibly comforting.By the way, the beverage is nice as well. What made the early evening truly special was the service. Despite it being an important Christmas Eve, the server from a lady was exceptionally warm and enthusiastic—every “thanks” was met with a heartfelt “you are welcome.” This demonstrates the waitress’s professional service attitude. It’s rare to see such dedicated service during the holidays. Merry Christmas to her! This was my third time to visit the restaurant. Highly recommend this place for their great and affordable food, also the even better hospitality!

My wife & I dropped by (1st time) randomly for lunch because doc’s office is around.
I’m a big Italian fan & always curious why people gave 1 star reviews, hopefully I see a wider picture from 5 stars. I do acknowledge different opinions & circumstances, plus food is a subjective thing.
First, we got there weekday 11:30am so no problem with hostess, table, seating, service etc.
Second, I dined at numerous Italian restaurants in GTA, in past 30+ yrs so I have an idea what is good or not, & honestly I loved my eggplant parmigiana. My wife got haddock+shrimp & she liked it too. Tiramisu was excellent as well (a bit on the sweet side). Prices are fair, especially when things have gone more expensive now. I don’t know if anything we ate were bought from Costco or Longo’s, like the 1 stars reviewers said but I’m just trying to be fair & honest : we got no complaints but glad we found another place to dine.
I don’t know what happened to the 1 star reviewers but we got no issues with our server & service at all. My wife & I sure will return, probably with friends too !

We had a wonderful experience! Staff were friendly and attentive. Our server Tony was lovely and extremely helpful in guiding us through the menu. The food was fresh, hot, prepared super fast and extremely delicious. We dine at a lot of “fine dining” Italian restaurants and we can honestly say the food and service here is top notch!
