Great all around!
Born & raised in Brooklyn, I know good Italian food & this place has it. Maybe not as good as Mama's but a great place for a date & to get the Little Italy experience without getting "hit over the head" (price reference - not something else. Even my fussy mother loves this place.

Wonderful & Economical Dinner
I've been to Paesano a few times over the years and always think it's great food at fantastic prices. Just went to San Gennaro and had a wonderful experience. We ordered the fried ravioli (I'm from StL and just had to have it) and they were great - even a little spicy. We also ordered the Shrimp fra Diavolo which was delicious. I'm even eating some leftovers for lunch! The service was attentive and was always prompt when we asked for something. I highly recommend this place if you're in Little Italy.

good experience
good value for money. Will visit again when in NYC. Relaxed and inviting atmosphere coupled with charming decor. Delicious hot antipasto, with decent house wine.

Do Not Recommend
The food is comparable to an elementary school cafeteria. Very bland...no flavor...over-sized portions....I could go on. About the only enjoyable part of the meal was the bread which was at least delivered warm. Amazed that these places survive.

Good Italian Meal
My sister and I were just in NYC and I ordered the Manicotti and a house salad. We split the salad...loved the Italian bread. My manicotti was delicious, so I was very happy! Drank water for my beverage. My sister ordered pasta with olive oil and garlic. She was disappointed because there was soooo much garlic. Value was great....$10 for pasta. I would go back. My sister would order something different! No line and service was fine.

Mediocre in Little Italy
I went to Paesano recently with a friend for dinner and had an okay experience at best. There was a long wait at the door and no host anywhere to be seen and no waiting list either. The staff kept saying 5-10 minutes but it was more 20-30. We didn't have a set waiter and the best way to get food or drink was to grab anyone walking by or you'd be waiting a while for anything. Also, my chair was kicked and bumped at least every few minutes so pick a seat out of the way. The house wine was actually quite good and is a great bargain. The stuffed mushroom were not very good and tasted a bit freezer burned. I ordered the linguine with red clam sauce, which was okay but not very flavorful.
