I had an amazing experience here with my boyfriend. We’re so glad we decided to come—everything from the food to the drinks was enjoyable. If you’re in Little Italy in downtown Manhattan, I highly recommend stopping by. You won’t regret it. The portions were great too—I couldn’t even finish my meal at the restaurant, but I definitely enjoyed the rest later! The place was wonderful and the server was absolutely great.

Almost as if this could only happen in #NY ☺️ This is a great restaurant to check out; especially, with so many options in close proximity. If you can't decide, just go to Paesano's, you won't regret it - you can pick another place some other time. Go
