    I took a very large group of customers to Paesanos. They were very accommodating and flexible with our large group at late notice. Everything was great!

    Our service Spencer was excellent! As for the food … We had the bruschetta which we didn’t enjoy. The meatballs appetizer and Caesar salad were good. 3 of us had their signature shrimp paezano and it was flavorless. 2 had the ahi tuna and the reviews were poor at best and one had the Veal Marsala and didn’t enjoy it. Overall we ate about 1/3 of our food. Good thing we ordered a couple bottles of excellent wine or the dinner would have been a total bust.

    Our first and last visit to the Riverwalk location. Huge disappointment. It’s been a couple of years since visiting any location, and tonight’s experience means we won’t be back. Specific issues—an unreasonable wait for any contact at the table, no plates with appetizers, no glass with a bottled San pelegrino, dirty utensils, glasses with food fingerprints… The final straw was the server hovering over the payment terminal to make it difficult to leave less than 20% rent. We managed to do so, under staring eyes. Overall, terrible experience.

    My wife and I have been to Paesanos many times but never to the River Walk location. The service was great and the food was good but not as good as the other locations. Since it is on the River Walk, it is very noisy and crowded.
