Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Paesan is that cute little Italian spot that serves up nostalgia in a bowl, but it’s also a bit of a mixed bag. The calamari is a crowd favorite, and if you're into carbs, the pasta is pretty stellar; al dente and fresh, just like you’d hope. However, their doughnuts? Not so much. Some customers have reported them tasting like they’ve been sitting around a bit too long, which is a shame for a place that’s trying so hard to impress.
Service seems hit or miss—Kate's been praised for her attentiveness, but others felt the atmosphere could use a little more life. If you swing by, stick to the pasta and dessert, and you might just leave with a happy tummy. It's decent, but not the stuff of legends. 🍝
"The highlights were definitely the pasta and dessert"
"Starters were excellent. The calamari is a must!"
