Service was absolutely terrible, but better than the food. It came out cold and looked like it has been sitting. Nothing was fresh. We also go the wrong food at first, and it took over 6 minutes to get the waiters' attention. We didn't even have an assigned waiter. Very unprofessional, they didn't ask how the food was, or if everything was okay. People who came after us got their food first. I seen this place on tik tok but I absolutely don't recommend.

This place has the best meatballs I've had since my Italian sister in law's!!!! Seriously they were the best thing I had during this meal. I dined alone and no one came back to ask how my meal was or if I needed anything else but besides that the service was prompt and the rest of the meal was good. I recommend giving this little gem a try.

We made early reservations for a Thursday evening, the food was made quickly and the ambiance was wonderful. The food was good, the bread and olive oil is the best I have had ever. We will continue to come to Paesano's.

Overall very mid .. was expecting better. Also all the servers were men. Not one women!? An not nice men... kinda creepy and judgmental. Bummed because I saw they had good reviews. Stale bread, good oil? Lasagna: just cheese and cut up meat balls with hard pieces in it.... 2/10 just because I love cheese Vodka rigatoni: also mid... 5/10. It was okay, noodles were not fresh and the sauce was def not made fresh. Seafood pasta: it was a red sauce with seafood... that's really all to be said. All in all kinda bummed because I was really looking forward to eating some good food.

We really enjoyed our time at the restaurant. It was delicious and lots of food for a great price. They also have the best bread and oil. I literally drank the oil it was so good.

Little Italy did not disappoint. Fantastic service and value for NYC. Very attentive and food was very good.
Nice atmosphere and service. Food was ok, pasta tasty, house wine was perfectly ok. Tiramisu was not how we know it and more like a cake (but maybe that’s the way here?)

Ordered the lasagna and three pasta dinner special. Lasagna was a little heavy but overall very good. The three pasta dinner special represented a good value, the highlight being the linguine Alfredo. The salad was good but the tomatoes were anything but close to being ripe. Atmosphere was good but very loud. Service was good overall other than the excessive amount of times the waiters tried to push us out to free up a table. Alone, this took away from the feel of sitting down and enjoying a good meal without being rushed. I would recommend for something quick and within a reasonable budget but if you’re looking for that old world authentic feel, you’re just not going to get it.

Fettuccine alfredo was great, slightly weak aperol spritz. But super cute, in a nice area. Good for dinner with friends

We visited Paesano on our very first NYC trip and our first time in Little Italy. Fantastic ambience. We sat outside along Mulberry people watching and enjoying the lights. We had a nice view of Empire State Building to the north of us. The service was excellent. We originally were seated inside but the staff offered to move us outside when a table opened up. At first, I thought they would just forget about us, but to my surprise, we were re-seated outdoors even drinks and appetizers had been brought to our table. The food? Incredible. I ordered the Osso Buco and, a day later, am still thinking about it. I'm tempted to go back tonight but won't. My girlfriend had the meat ravioli and it was very good as well. Excellent experience all around. Very happy that we found this place.

Went with a group of 50 with a reservation. Tables were ready. Salad and soda were prompt. Had about 6 meal choices. Food came out quickly and it was hot. No complaints from anyone in the group. And they were open for others also. Highly recommend.
