Paisano's Brings Italian to Paulding

Paisano’s offers a variety of classic Italian dishes and a full plethora of pizzas. With a rustic Tuscan village charm but a contemporary design, Paisano’s Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria serves classic Italian pastas and salads. Plenty of booths and tables could fit most any size party. In a causal dining atmosphere, families and couples would enjoy the openness of the restaurant. 

Being my second visit, I tried the meat-lover’s pizza this time. Topped with huge pieces of sausage, large slices of pepperoni and sizable beef meatballs, the $14 pizza was much better than any fast food delivery service could bring me. Cheesy, hot and delicious, I would recommend the pizza over any entrée at Paisano’s. However, be patient. Our party was rather large and service was very slow. Our appetizer, fried mozzarella frite, was brought cold and very bland. The pizza definitely saved the day!

With a full-service large bar and specialty cocktails, Paisano’s is a great place to have an after-dinner drink and mingle with friends. On the weekends, entertainment is provided; karaoke and dance music are the typical repertoire.

Most entrees cost $11 to $18 and the pizza is served in two sizes. Various calzones and strombolis were also very popular with other patrons. A small dessert menu is available. Chef Dallas Prezzano is making a valiant attempt of serving authentic Italian meals “with an abundance of imagination.” I was not impressed with the traditional baked pasta dishes—they lack richness and hardiness that you expect in an Italian eatery; however, for a late night, appetizing pub-like mood, a pizza from Paisano’s will do just fine.
