The food is delicious, creative. The decor is lovely. The staff are so very welcoming and just lovely. They are there to ask if there are questions, offer help. The place is just amazing. I cannot recommend it enough. if I could give more than 5 stars I would
Very nice little Italian restaurant and gourmet store with Italian products. The tables are distributed between the main dining room (and gourmet store) and a cozy room with a very diverse selection of wines, plus a front room with large windows . All the dishes we tried were truly amazing!! You select your own bottle of wine from the bodega for it to be served with your meal. Service was fantastic too...
grazie mille per un pasto così meraviglioso, non vedo l'ora di tornare presto!

Actually super authentic and very reminiscent of the last time I ate in Europe. Very homey right there in the middle of the store. Excellent service. She even held her baby for a while while we ate.

Trusting nice reviews about the restaurant we went there for lunch.It was a disaster!First of all there was noone other than us,hostess/ waiter were kind of nasty and not welcoming,eggplant Parmigiana that i ordered came in a tupperware, probable frozen and heated in microwave!The place was dark with no air-conditioning ... Did not leave a tip because everything was bad.I usually am truthful and write good reviews but this time i am just warning everyone think twice before going to this restaurant;although i gave them 1 star they don't even deserve that.
I recently tried the osso buco pappardelle at IL Paesano, and it was absolutely delicious! The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the osso buco was incredibly tender and flavorful. I would highly recommend this dish to anyone visiting the restaurant.

This place would get 6 stars if that were possible. Osso bucco ravioli? YumBread is pre-oiled and delicious. If they ask “sparkling” or “still” and you don’t answer “tap,” you will be charged. Wine list is a room filled with wine, to where you take a field trip. Buy the bottle at the best price ever.Food was amazing. Good portion sizes. Service was perfect. Place is very clean, including the restrooms.There are many choices in the area for Italian but this is authentic and the best in the area.

Our first time eating here, and we will be definitely coming back! Everything in this place is amazing, the atmosphere is very cozy and private, no loud annoying music so you can have a normal conversation. The service is great, and the food... let me tell you it's the best in the area for sure! Nothing to complain about, owners did a great job and it feels like they really care about their place. I would highly recommend!

Nice people. Good food. Service a little slow and noisy at times. We enjoyed it nevertheless. It's small. They sell Italian food items and wine.
