Paesanos Riverwalk

Because it is on the river walk this place could have been a tourist trap but nothing could be further from the truth. Very good food which was hot and fresh. The appetizer of artichoke hearts was delicious. Only missed the 5th star due to the bread not being flavorful, warm or brown. The other miss was the $15 Old Fashion ordered with Buffalo Trace. Very poorly done and watery. Even with these two items we fully would go back for food. Service was also good, it was very busy yet hour waiter consistently stop by to check on us. Also the pricing was great for the food.

We came in here where everywhere on the river walk had over an hour wait. Paesanos didn’t have any wait for our family of 6 at 9:30pm. Our waiter Julian was really polite and on top of everything. We got cheese manicotti, cheese tortellini and Mediterranean salad. They were all great. Inside also looks cozy and elegant.

Holy moly, this was delicious! So delicious that we ate here TWICE. The food is bursting with flavor, the staff is beyond incredibly nice, the atmosphere is breathtaking. Highly recommend reservations for the busier supper times (after 6:30). You can’t go wrong!

Lovely place. The parmesan crusted snapper was delicious. I didn't like the tomato sauce with meatballs and sausage quite as much hence the 4 stars but lovely atmosphere.

The food was pretty good. The veal parm was one of the favorites. The artichoke balls were great too. Everything else was just ok. Took 8 other people out and we all had a good time. Only downside was the waiter would not bring us drinks or refill the water for the last hour we were there. For how much we spent, I expected better service. Overall a decent place to eat on the Riverwalk.

I personally didn’t liked the pizza I ordered. It was almost $20 and the flavor was very mediocre. Also, the sodas are in the menu but don’t have a price, after asking I realized they’re $5 each. The eggplant Parmesan was okay but it wasn’t worth the $22. The atmosphere at the riverwalk was really pretty though. For one time it was okay but I wouldn’t come back again.

Wow! Located on the Riverwalk next door to Hard Rock Cafe. You can choose to dine outside and have a perfect view of the Riverwalk. Your waiter will deliver fresh warm bread right out of the oven and quality olive oil, spices, and optional balsamic. My wife chose a Vincenzo’s Pizza (pizzas are all 12-inch and very flat or 10-inch for gluten free crust). The toppings mushrooms, NY strip steak, red onions, and a drizzle of honey-sriracha sauce). I chose a grilled Tomahawk Pork-chop topped with a wine-poached pair with grilled vegetables and spicy potato wedges. We finished our meals by sharing a Chocolate Moose Cake. This was a fantastic meal and our waiter was perfect, friendly, and willing to talk about life. You have to give this place a try. It’s not cheap, but nothing is these days. By the way, this place is only open for dinner (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM and 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM Fridays & Saturdays). *** Update *** DO NOT take a table inside the restaurant, take a table at one of the two exterior sections. On our 2nd dinner, we were stuck at an interior table and the noise was absolutely deafening. Could not even try to hold a conversation with my wife sitting next to me. The hard rock-like walls, floor, ceiling bounce the sound around making it absolutely deafening. I’m deducting one star.

This my honest experience. We (3 women) arrived around 7pm with no reservations and was seated inside. The host wasn't welcoming and didn't speak to us only when I asked to sit at a different table. Our waiter was friendly but would leave us for long periods of time and didn't take our order until an hour after seated. Once he did, it was about another hour before we got our meal and my lobster ravioli was cold. My friend told me that the girl sitting next to us had ordered the same and they took her plate back and she got a hot plate so she thinks I got hers. Which could be true since my friend's food was hot. We were full off the bread since we've been sitting there for so long that we didn't finish our food and just wanted to leave. It was a lot of flagging down the waiter to get his attention that night. I understand he was busy so we didn't make a scene, just paid our bill and left. It's a nice location, lovely atmosphere, great wine, but the service and food was not worth a second visit.
