Paesano Ristorante Italiano

Boiled shrimp and boiled scallops just taste like water and nothing. Pasta has no flavor. Please use a grill one time to cook food. If your not from Hawaii avoid this place like the plague. I had the chef seafood special

The seafood pasta special was the best. Good amount of clams, scallops, shrimp and pasta. The server was very attentive and polite. The cost was higher than most but you definitely get what you pay for. Our party was very satisfied.

The food has gone down since the last time I ate at Paesano. I don't think I will be back.
They moved out of Manoa, too.

Alway god food

The service was exceptional, but the food lacked taste. This restaurant is run by Asians who probably are italians..

We went for lunch on Good Friday and it was not so crowded. Service is great. Food is nice. The setting was not formal and it may pass as a casual setting but not as a casual diner setting thing.

We ordered mozarella in carroza, linguine chicken anchovy olio and chicken portobello. The mozarella and its dip is perfect. The linguine chicken anchovy oil is not salty. The chicken portobello is somewhat on the oily side. But all in all, it was a great food and experience.

I would love to try the other dishes.

Ohh and btw, they did not inform the last call to order. We were planning to order a take out but the kitchen was already closed.

Tried to book a private dinner here for 20. Beautiful private room with a large TV on the wall. The room was available but if we wanted to use the TV there was an additional $475 room fee. I mentioned I could bring my own cables but they said no. So I left.
Still can’t believe they turned away a Tuesday night dining check of~$2,000 over a $475 ‘room fee’ to use a TV.

Food was great, ambiance was perfect. Good place for a first date.

I have been a loyal patron of Paesano Italian Restaurant in Waimalu for many years, and they never fail to impress. I’m updating my review once again to express my continued appreciation for their presence in Pearl City.

Every visit—whether with friends or for a church gathering—has been a success. Their extensive menu, beautiful presentation, and excellent service make each dining experience enjoyable. The owners, manager, and staff always serve with a warm smile, adding to the welcoming atmosphere.

Looking forward to our next visit!

A great place for Italian food for luncheon extensive menu to choose from.

The service was perfect, atmosphere clean and classy. But the food was sub par to what proper Italian dishes should have, which is flavor. I had the seafood combination and my partner the Rigatoni Arrabiata. Both were lacking anything to talk about. Oh, and I would not suggest the fried calamari. It's imitation and has no flavor to it, very disappointed!
