Visiting NYC for the very first time

Great food and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is beautiful tucked away in Little Italy

Girl’s weekend

This place was mediocre in every way. I wish we had chosen the restaurant that was offering the free sangria instead.

Visiting from Texas. Excellent tasting food, friendly service and classic Italian decor. Perfectly made lemon drop martini, crisp calamari, delicious lasagna, tender veal piccata and homemade linguini. Wanted tiramisu, but didn’t have room!

The wait staff was not attentive at all. You best

I don’t think I would be able to recommend this place t9 anyone I cares about. Unfortunately, it just didn’t do it for me. Coming to little Italy, I was expecting homemade pasta and quality food. This place did not deliver. If you are on a budget, looking for a just ok meal, this restaurant might do it for you. No comparison to other places I have tried… overall, pretty disappointed.

Average to below average food terrible bread and overpriced food! So many better Italian restaurants in Little Italy!

buen lugar, muy buena pasta y precios accesibles

amazing food! recommended by a friend and i loved the gnocchi bolognese. the service was also good, i'll definitely be back

Touristy, ordered an appetizer that never came…. And poor wine list by the glass.

We all enjoyed, just not upper par. A basic good meal at a great value

Amazing Rigatoni a la Vodka!

The staff was very attentive but this is a tourist attraction

Everything was delicious - we had calamari and fried ravioli appetizers- baked ziti with sausage and gnocchi with meat sauce and all 6 of us were full and happy!

Very beautiful dinner with my fiancé last night, I proposed to her at the restaurant, the waiter was the best waiter I’ve ever had, the restaurant made all my requests come true, 10/10 highly recommended going here. The food was out of this world amazing, best Italian food I’ve had in years.

Amazing spot. Good food, awesome ambience inside and good decorations/vibe. Very inexpensive and great value for NYC Italian restaurant. Would go again!

We celebrated my sons birthday and ordered the Tortellini Bolognese and chicken Frandsche’s. Both dishes came in delicious sauce. I ordered a marinated house salad wasn’t really anything special. The linguine with substituted for sautéed spinach which was a nice choice. I ordered a glass of Chianti. And for dessert we ate tiramisu which was delicious. Though waiting staff was hospitable and very friendly. There’s definitely a comfortable place to go out and have a meal

Absolutely the best! My first time in Little Italy and I can’t wait to come back! The food was outstanding! The service was excellent. Loved the ambience and the decor!

The Shrimp Scampi was amazing, I will be coming back soon 😍

The staff were so attentive. The food was excellent. The atmosphere is great and wine by the bottle for $28.

Enjoying lunch was never better. All six, different meals, were made to perfection. Atmosphere was heavenly. Service was polite and very pleasant. Our visit was just as good the second time as the first.

Food great, service outstanding, ambiance crowded and campy in a pleasing way

Very good food, excellent wait staff.

We loved it! Great place to eat delicious Italian meal!

The pasta dishes at Paesano were amazing. We were a party of four and our order included pesto, alfredo, and traditional sauces. Each one was delicious. The wait staff was helpful and attentive. This place is a neighborhood gem!

Comfortable and good food - reasonably priced.

Cozy little Italian restaurant with delicious food.

Best Italian you can find in all of NYC!

My wife and I dined at Paesano's on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, and took a table outside. Easting in the outside section was a great choice here because there is much to see in Little Italy with people always passing by but it also allowed for a quieter dining experience and we could easily hear each other speak. We had an excellent dinner and the service was exceptional. I ordered the capellini pasta dish with shrimp special and my wife ordered the pasta combo with salad special. The meals were delicious. We were both very pleased with our selections. Our server Gent was very attentive to our needs and made it a nice dining experience. The pricing was very reasonable. I would definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great Italian restaurant in NYC's Little Italy.

perfecto! waiter was wonderful and so was the food.

Amazing establishment

This is my go to restaurant every time I visit NYC! Try their limoncello, it’s superb!

it was wonderful to return to Paesano's - after a long hiatus - being there, reminded me of why we were here so often and look forward to many meals there again - food wonderful, staff fantastic, atmosphere - delightful. location - so easy. thank you. thank you!

We came from New jersey. We had fried calamari for starter, 10”margarita pizza , spaghetti with garlic and oli,traditon lasagne. Food was exceptional! Service was good. Waiter was friendly and attentive. Restaurant seemed old, but it was reasonable price in the heart of city. My daughter loved this place! We will definitely come back

Never disappointed at Paesano's. Wonderful food, great service, fantastic atmosphere. A slice of heaven in Little Italy.

Our go-to for romantic dinners and out of town visitors. Never disappoints!

We’ve been coming here every time we visit NYC for the past 20 years. The food never disappoints. The lobster ravioli is delicious! I get it every time. My family had the pesto gnocchi and the bolognese which they both loved. Our table was inside which is a little warm for July since the AC doesn’t work as well in the older building, but wasn’t unbearable.

Best italian food I’ve ever had in my life!!! We’re definitely coming back before going back to Boston

Amazing food, quick service, and great staff!!!!!!!
