Review of Paisano's Restaurant

Our dining experience was very disappointing. We made reservations at 8:15, but weren't seated until 8:40. We ordered apps and entres pretty soon after we sat down.

Our apps came out quickly and were Delicious - the barrata and stuffed eggplant. Our entres didn't come out until 9:45... at which time, the lights were turned on in the dining room because the restaurant has to close at 10pm. Tables around us that were seated after we were, had received their entres and were finished eating before ours came out. The waiter said he'd see if we could stay a few minutes after 10, since we just got our food, but they weren't allowed to.

No one came to check on us, ask how our food was, appologize for it coming so late. We had to rush through our food, no time for dessert or coffee and then were given boxes.

The dry rub ribeye I ordered medium rare, came out close to well done and rather than an herb butter sauce, had a thick, dark sauce. My boyfriend really enjoyed his pappardelle rustica though. The waiter asked if we wanted bread, we said no, he brought it anyways and also charged us.

The restaurant itself had a very nice atmosphere, which is why we were excited to try this place, but very disappointed at the service and our experience. 1:45 should have been plenty of time for a nice, relaxing dinner.
