Paisano Ristorante Italiano & Bar

Paisano Ristorante Italiano & Bar Restaurant Review:

This large, bustling restaurant caters to moviegoers and shoppers on the prowl for cocktails and familiar red-sauced pasta dishes and pizzas. A mural-clad dining room sets the scene for southern Italian family recipes like linguine with mussels and clams, spaghetti and meatballs, carbonara, and scampi. We enjoyed the gnocchi in a pink sauce and the thin-crusted pizzas, but found the overall quality irregular and service well-intended yet erratic at best. The wine list is unremarkable but fairly priced, and the best way to finish is with the respectable cannoli, made on the premises.
