    Seated promptly for reservation time, server was helpful and food was good. Paesano Shrimp was great, baked ravioli was okay. The house salad is great and the grasshopper cocktail was really good.

    Was very disappointed. Some people in our party did not get there meal and the steaks that were expensive were terrible. The one that did not receive their meal was told after we had to go up and ask that they ran out of steaks but did mot say anything. Overall not good

    Our soups arrived cold, and although I very rarely send back food, we had to say something. Sadly however the lobster bisque came back with rubbery lobster that was in eatable. The server cleared the full bowl and never asked if everything was ok. The Special Salad was a large plate of bitter lettuce with a little mediocre dressing. The menu description said it would have hearts of palm, but it had none. It was again, not something we could even eat. Again the server cleared the full plate and didn’t ask if we liked it or if everything was ok. The check came and we paid for a bill of food we hardly ate. I would not go back.

    I took a very large group of customers to Paesanos. They were very accommodating and flexible with our large group at late notice. Everything was great!

    Our service Spencer was excellent! As for the food … We had the bruschetta which we didn’t enjoy. The meatballs appetizer and Caesar salad were good. 3 of us had their signature shrimp paezano and it was flavorless. 2 had the ahi tuna and the reviews were poor at best and one had the Veal Marsala and didn’t enjoy it. Overall we ate about 1/3 of our food. Good thing we ordered a couple bottles of excellent wine or the dinner would have been a total bust.
