We were celebrating a birthday, made reservations a few weeks in advance for 13 people. We were seated immediately upon arrival. The seating location was amazing. Our server was filling in and she did an excellent job. She was friendly, accommodating and if anyone had a question she went and got the answer if she didn’t know it . Her suggestions on drinks and food were spot on. The food was delicious and prepared perfectly. When it was time for dessert, she let us know she was the baker and made all the cheesecakes. We had the pistachio cheese cake, it was heaven on a plate. I would highly recommend and would give more stars if available . We will definitely be back.

Veal Parmigana was superb! Honey mustard salad dressing was the best I've had in a long time. The seafood trio (scallops, shrimp, crab) was good but a disappointment as scallops were microscopic and crab invisible. Shrimp was a good size, but please remove more of the outer shells when cleaning them. He did immensely enjoy the bisque he ordered in place of a salad. Spaghetti with meat sauce was excellent. Salad was as specially ordered (allergies). Waiter (Clay) was the best. Plan to spend a little more time than usual at a restaurant. It's a relaxed evening so you can enjoy the foods you've chosen.

Had a party of ten, with no reservations on graduation day. Staff was nice and able to seat us within 30 minutes. Diana, our waitress, was superb! Very friendly, funny and provided great service. Food was very good, prices amazing! Thank you for accommodating us on a special night, when you were very busy!

We made reservations and it was a good thing because they filled up fast. The food was fantastic, the service was the same, fantastic. Our waiter did a excellent job, he was busy but you could not tell it because he was always checking on us. Did I mention the food was superb and plenty to take home.

This place saved our night this past Thursday. After a long day of hiking we had told our kids we would have sushi for dinner (everyone’s favorite). Sadly, the sushi joint only serves sushi Friday and Saturday (who knew). With hungry, tired kids I said “we could get Italian” trying to calm everyone. When we pulled up to Paesano’s I was worried as the parking lot was quite full and we were looking bedraggled and underdressed. I nervously approached the hostess and she was so sweet, she said we absolutely could eat there bedraggled or not. She showed us some enclosed outdoor seating which was perfect. She saved my sanity and I so appreciate it. Then the food, it was outstanding, appetizers came quickly, everything was fresh, portions were unreal (we ate our leftovers for dinner Friday which meant I didn’t have to cook two nights in a row!). To the hostess, I wish many blessings on you, you really saved us in our hungry (and somewhat desperate) state!

It was my second time visiting and the food was amazing! We started with the fried mozzarella and a wedge salad. My husband got the house salad with the peppercorn ranch and it was phenomenal. For our main dishes we got the black & blue with a filet and the trout piccata. Both were delicious. We took some cheesecake to go because the dinner portions are huge!! Chloe was our server and I will definitely be back because of her too!!
