How did it take me so long to find you, Paolo?? Now that I know where you are, and I enjoyed your delicious Turkey-Fonatina sandwich, homemade soup and scrumptious choc chip cookie, I shall return for spaghetti and meatballs next week. Grazie

Was in Reno for work and was looking for a good sandwich. I didn't find it, what I found was a great sandwich! After ordering and finding a seat I saw a couple people eating the lasagne, looked fabulous. Highly recommend.

Craving a good ol' fashion toasted Italian sandwich, with fresh meat, olive oil and the usual fixin's, I decided to try the Italian Stallion at Paolo's during lunch time. The pictures looked so good on line. I ordered my sandwich at the counter, paid, started to turn to find a seat, and what do I Hear??? A dog barking inside the restaurant. I looked and didn't see one, and I turned to the server at the counter, and asked, "Is that a DOG I HEAR??? Where is it??""Ohh that's the owners dog hanging out in the kitchen.." Mind you I am not an animal hater by no means, but immediately I had a flash of fleas and dog hair in my Italian sandwich, and I know for a FACT! that the Reno Board of Health doesn't allow animals of any kind in a public food kitchen... Needless to say when my sandwich finally came out, after sitting there listening to the dog bark in the kitchen, I couldn't get through it.. it tasted decent, but at this point, I have no idea of the cleanliness of the kitchen.The owner got wind of my concern, and came out from the kitchen and walked over to me specifically, and there was others in the restaurant. He asked how the sandwich was.. I said truth be told, after hearing a dog barking in the kitchen , I honestly am not enjoying it, and asked if the Reno Board of Health allows live animals in restaurant kitchens. He ignored the question and went on to say, the dog is a "calming dog", and helps the staff chill out. I actually laughed, and asked if a barking dog truly calms him, because its making me a nervous wreck trying to relax and enjoy my sandwich. LOLI'm truly disappointed, I love hot toasted Italian sandwiches.. and I was so hoping this would be my go to place', as I live nearby. I had most of it wrapped to go, and dumped it in a nearby trash can outside. Unfortunately, I cant give this place a good rating. As a Life long foodie, I have never in my life witnessed a dog, let alone a BARKING dog, to be allowed in kitchen that serves food to the Public. My experience here was "Ruff!!"

The Italian Stallion Sandwich is the best sandwich I have had in years. The vegetable soup is phenomenal. I really look forward in returning to this restaurant.

Great reviews seemed like a good place to grab lunch. This was a one and done spot. All the plates customers had looked great with saucy heaping portions. After I ordered, I was refunded without my tax paid on my soup, the gal said we are out of soup. Well kitchen was putting out soups and gal said my order doesn’t get soup but other orders do. They charge more for take out however the quality is very poor. I basically got plain hot noodles not saucy goodness like I had seen at the tables. You get better food and service if you eat there maybe.
