Paesano’s did not acknowledge our Open Table reservation; confirmed email to prove it. The manager said basically too bad, if you want you can come back in an hour and a half. No apology no let me see what I can do, nothing but too bad. So we won’t be going back.

It was a great evening. The service was fantastic and the food delicious. The only downside was having to have our family sit at two separate tables because they fo not reserve tables for parties over 6 people. There was 9 of us.

We shared the Fuji apple and Gorgonzola pizza and the Paesano’s salad which were both delicious. The pickled onions on the salad were the bomb. The reason for 4 stars is though the server was great, we had to ask for salt and pepper, which it was hard to do to catch someone to ask. Our food was almost gone before we did. Also did not love having to use the online menu because it took forever to load.

It was a special night as my son and his girlfriend were celebrating her Senior Ball, the first event of her entire senior year! They were running late for their reservation but the staff was gracious enough to hold their table when my son called to explain their tardiness. That was so appreciated. The food was good and the service was great but his chicken fettuccine Alfredo had no chicken. That was really disappointing. Other than that disappointment, his girlfriend’s pesto tortellini was delicious, they ate their meals and were on their way. Their server was very friendly and helped make the evening seem special.

Our server, believe his name was Nick, was fabulous. Friendly, attentative, knowledgeable and personable. Having to sit on outdoor patio (although heaters) with jackets on to eat under cloudy weather in the evening...definitely took away what would have been a 5-star experience.

Food was great & enjoyed the ambience in outdoor patio. We had a wonderful waitress who I’ve also had other times I’ve recently dined there (she stated that like other restaurants they’re short staffed so she is there a lot!). This time I had the Farmer’s Market salad which is definitely a complete meal. They don’t serve bread however the cornbread croutons were better than bread & were quite large. Would recommend this restaurant for lunch, dinner or take out...pizzas are the best in the area!

Not a pleasant experience. We were put at a table right inside the tent entrance (lots of foot traffic) and sat across the aisle from a woman and her dog. The waitress promptly forgot about us; after 20 minutes of waiting we had to wave her down. Food was excellent, which was the only saving grace. This restaurant would be great if they would hire people with something other than "TikTok Influencer" on their resumes.

Hostess was very accommodating:) Waiter was attentive as well and food came out quickly and fresh. Only complaint is that there were no menus given to us besides the drink menu and we didn’t see the QR code for it at the opposite end of the table as no direction was given to us.

The service was slow and yet somehow still rushed? It took at least 10 minutes for the waiter to come by to take our order with no menus. Another 10 minutes to bring menus. Then 15 minutes to take our order. The food came out very fast and then no one checked in with us until we were finished and that was to bring the check. My husband and I both got sick that night as well. The gluten free menu is not gluten free, so beware. They won't even use fresh water for gluten free pasta unless you specifically request it and everything is fried in the same fryer. We used to love this place, but it's just not the same, since even before the pandemic.

Two of us went and we shred each our dishes. Scrimp scampi was fantastic. The fresh pasta is so excellent. .Italian cheese steak sandwich was excellent. High quality ingredients. The flavors meld together. Tiramisu is so light and flavorful. There was too much chocolate powder this time but easy to knock a bit off. I’ve had the tiramisu several times and I am never disappointed. The only big disappointment was finding out the side salad was changed. They no longer have the garbanzo beans or bread crumbs on top. Now the salad is the same you could fins anywhere else. I really hope they bring back the original!

We ordered the fried ravioli and spaghetti carbonara. Both were really yummy but the bacon in the carbonara was a little too salty! Also we dined outdoors and it was pretty windy that night. Thankfully one of the employees turned on the heaters on the patio. Overall service was okay and the food was decent for the price and portions! Rate: 7.5/10
