A "go to" for many in the community, Paesanos has established itself as both a neighborhood standby and a special occasion spot. The bustling energy of the busy dining room and aromas of garlic and pizza baking in the brick oven are reminiscent of the urban dining spots in San Francisco's North Beach.

The food here is so good! We stopped in before heading to see the nutcracker and they timed everything perfectly for us to get to the show on time. The food was outstanding, the drinks were also very good (they even offered to make a mock tail for a family member). We sat next to a larger party but it wasn’t loud for us. Our waiter was incredible, super attentive and answered all our questions. I know some of the reviews on here say that the service can be “questionable” but our experience with everyone working at the restaurant was great! Will definitely be back.

Casual environment with great selection of beers and a menu with many comfort food options. They offer generous flights of beers and let you choose those you wish to try. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was very good. Would recommend the veggie burger and the fish and chips.
