We went to Cafe Paisano this week to eat. The service was spectacular... Summer, one of the kindest and most amazing servers I’ve ever had at a restaurant. She’s a top 5-star!! And the food??? Can I say it’s one of the best Italian places I’ve visited in years? Well, yes, it is!! But the MVP dish of the night, even though everything was delicious, was the CALZONE!!!! I was born and raised in a small town that had a pizzeria that made the best calzone in the world. Today, the owner of that pizzeria is recognized worldwide. Since I left my country, I’ve ordered calzones at different places, but none satisfied my craving, to the point that I ended up not liking calzones anymore. Over time, I stopped ordering them because no one made them like the pizzeria near my house. Today, after so many years, I decided to order a calzone, which took me a while to decide... Ladies and gentlemen!!! Wowww, what a delicious calzone!!!! I was reborn... LOL. The place itself is beautiful, cozy, and super clean. This place now has new fans, and on our next visit, we’ll be trying the pizza.

We were planning on going here for Mother's Day, but something came up,and we had to go for takeout instead. I placed the order online on the website, took me about 20 minutes to get there, and it was ready and waiting for me. The pasta was great and delicious, and every dish came with a salad. The best of all were the cannolis and the chocolate cake. We can't wait to go and have lunch or dinner there. Very good food, and the prices are good too. Easy access, easy parking. Nice service, good atmosphere. I recommend this place

Friendly service and tasty pizza. I tried the meat amante pizza and it was delicious. The meat, cheese and sauce were very flavorful and the dough/crust was cooked perfectly. The tiramisu and banana foster desserts were great as well. The only complaint I had was the restaurant was very very cold inside.

Honestly, this is the best pizza around and the dough is so good. I can't recommend the bruschetta enough, the tomatoes are some of the best I've ever had. They do a nice twist on the traditional bruschetta. The soups are pretty good and the garlic knots awesome as well. Overall very solid food and is very consistent.

This place never misses—truly my go-to spot when I want something delicious and satisfying. On my latest visit, I had the Greek salad, and wow... the tomatoes were a standout. I usually skip cherry tomatoes, but these were so flavorful I ate every last one. I also had the veggie roll and a slice of buffalo chicken pizza—both were incredible. The veggie roll was perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, and the buffalo chicken pizza hit that perfect balance of spicy and savory without being overwhelming. We’ve tried just about every local Italian spot, and this one stands out as our family’s favorite by far. The food is consistently delicious—fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and generous portions. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff always make us feel right at home, going above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine and a place you’ll want to return to again and again, this is it.

I've eaten here twice and it has been amazing both times. Their fettuccine Alfredo with chicken is fantastic and the garlic knots... perfection. It's exactly what I've been looking for in an Italian restaurant for years. Friendly staff too. Only downside is their sharing fee!
