This restaurant has great pasta with some unique menu items. I was delighted to see that they've also created a menu for those of us watching calories. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Two employees were too busy gossiping at the hostess counter than to greet us when we entered. Our waitress was sweet, but so incredibly...

This is a lovely little restaurant set back in a shopping area. Inside and outside dining are available. You can keep your car in line of sight although the neighborhood is a good one. The menu has a number of options. Martinis are excellent.

The food here is okay. Possibly better than average in Topeka, but that is not saying much as the options are limited. The restaurant has a good ambiance, and would be good place to take a date.

I quit going there because everythign I would try was awful. It was just bland pasta with lots of cheese and no flavor. Their pizza is the worst, no sauce on it, and the sauce is served on the side, and the sauce has no flavor. I had the lasagna last time i was there, and it was barely edible....

This used to be top of the line but has fallen off the charts. Their idea of "Italian" is weird. Their pizzas are absolutely horrendous and many of the major Italian dishes are subpar. The salad and breadsticks are pretty good however. Some of the seafood dishes are decent. Service is so-so also. Seems they have an "you owe me"...

The food in general is good. We go often while in town. We have learned over time that the dishes are only as good as the cook working that day or night. I have my favorite which I order each time we are there.. It's never prepared the same way twice. For the most part the food is good. The...

Went to Paisano's in hopes it would be as good as many family-owned Italian restaurants are. 1st trip was okay--it was on par with Olive Garden. Subsequent trips were unreliable. Went with group of co-workers and service was exceptionally slow at nearly 2 1/2 hours for lunch. Hubby surprised me for Valentine's Day; ordered chicken spiedini only to send it...

OK, so it was late on a Sunday, some kid had strewn a zillion crackers all over the dining room, sorority sisters were getting loudly tipsy on table wine, and our waitron couldn't remember three items in a row. Maybe I was a bit cranky, but I'll never rave over a place (an ITALIAN place) that serves iceberg-from-a-bag drowned in...
