    This Italian restaurant puts out fantastic food. I ordered their legendary Shrimp Paesano, and it was outrageously delicious. Excellent service, terrific location, and overall grand time!

    The food was good but not for the price. I was shocked when I got my $200 bill for just 3 of us. There are several places on the River Walk just as good and not as expensive! My children didn’t love what they got. For the price you need to love your food!

    Very nice meal and service. Plus a surprise dessert for our anniversary. The noise level is too loud. Otherwise no complaints.

    We always try to grab dinner here when we’re in town. It’s solid Italian that is consistently delicious. If you’re looking for a spot to eat on the River Walk, this is your place!

    We sat very quickly for dinner with our reservation however the service was very poor. We ordered drinks, then food. Our food came out cool as if it was sitting a while. We never received our drinks until we were almost done with dinner and asked the waiter about them. We were very disappointed. Not sure if they were short staffed but no apologies were offered. It was a disappointing dinner and we left as soon as we could.

    Food and service was excellent!  Gerald, our server, is one of the most cool, calm, and collected guys you’ll ever meet. The manager, who has been there for 20 years, is very involved with the business and does an excellent job too. We had a small problem with the way the handheld checkout device calculated the final total, but the manager is fixing the problem.

    I really felt welcomed & comfortable at Paesanos while I celebrated my birthday. I loved how most of the staff acknowledged my birthday, greeted themselves, engaged in conversation with me, & asked if I was enjoying myself. I had the Baked Ziti & my best friend had the Stuffed Shells while we also ordered a house salad which was more than what I imagined. I will definitely come back when I visit San Antonio again. Thank you Paesanos for a wonderful time.

    From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding! The hostess greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. Our server, Spencer, went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. The food was amazing. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
