Paisano's On Broadway Italian Steakhouse

For a Friday night we took a chance as we did not have a reservation. To our surprise it was empty. After being seated we ordered some wine from a fairly robust wine menu. The bread was awesome however the second batch was burned on the bottom. I ordered a Ribeye and my wife ordered the spicy diablo pasta. I felt the salad was lacking and very plan especially considering it was an upcharge. My wife loved her main dish and my steak was cooked perfect. Service was second to none and to our surprise the desert menu had several choices. We enjoyed our meal and the excellent service made up for the salad and over cooked bread. By the time we left the restaurant was full with a live band about to start playing.

As always Karen a pleasure to Make reservations with Food was outstanding— rack of lamb,pasta dishes all excellent Lobster bisque the best I ever had

Great Italian restaurant in a setting that feels like southern Italian al fresco dining. I had a stuffed eggplant with what seemed like an amazing sun-dried tomato and meat sausage sauce topped with melted cheese. Every dish at the table evoked a southern Italian twist of flavor. Definitely a place worth visiting and putting on your go-to list, and every bit worth the few extra minutes to get there. There's also a fun bar for solo/2-3 diners.

The veal piccata is a children’s portion. Cut corners on food quality everywhere else. I was there with a large part on a Tuesday so maybe it was just an off day. I remember this place being incredible. Unfortunately, I didn’t get that experience this last time

You ever go to a restaurant and immediately think, “Ah, finally, someone gets it”? That’s Paisano’s. Great ambiance — lively but not ear-splitting, which meant I could actually hear the couple my wife and I were with and every word from the young couple next to us. Let’s just say… I now know a lot more about their relationship than I probably should.

The place was packed on a Tuesday night — a Tuesday! Do people in Richmond even have weeknights, or is every night a weekend here?

Anyway, the veal… tender, perfect. Exactly how veal should be. Not chewy, not tough — just melt-in-your-mouth good.

And dessert? Forget about it. Some ice cream and chocolate chip cookie creation that had to be at least 2,000 calories. I did the math in my head, then ignored it. Worth every single one.

Five stars. If every Tuesday night meal were like this, I might actually start looking forward to Tuesdays.

The dinner started off great the bread and lobster bisque were tremendous. The food was lack luster I had the chicken marsala and the wife had the chicken vesuvio both dishes lacked flavor and pasta side dish was plain and cold. I would go back and see how the steaks are.

Drove about an hour away and it was worth the drive from the menu having steak to pasta to fish to chicken there is something on the menu for almost anybody (but nothing for the Karen's or Kevins). The service was spot on adult servers that know what there doing and do it well. And the decor very Italian. It's a must to dine in your lifetime. Will be calling very soon for another reservation very soon.

Surprisingly large inside -- smaller rooms make for an intimate setting. Good wine, great chicken parmigiana, and delicious meatballs. The pasta was a bit overcooked. Despite that, I'd go back.
