We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant and will return. Only went there because we had to attend something in the area but are very happy we found this place. The staff were alway smiling and friendly and my server Itzel was top notch. Food was excellent and my margaritas were some of the best I've had and I order them everywhere! Looking forward to returning all the way from Parsippany again. Great job Paisanos! You guys proved yourself on every level.

Everything here was beyond wonderful!

We ordered the Spaghetti (housemade) Carbonara (the real way - no cream), stuffed Pork Chop, and Espresso Short Ribs!

Decor was beautiful. The service was top-notch (great job Gio!)!

Run, don't walk, to Paisano's!

​If you visit Paisano’s, ask for Jack. His service was so professional and prideful that I genuinely assumed he was part of the family or related to the owner.

​Beyond the great food, Jack took the time to share the restaurant’s history, explaining how they successfully expanded from a small local kitchen into the staple they are today. It’s rare to find a server so invested in a business's story.
