Reviews
1st visit to Paisano's on Broadway. Was not disappointed. I made reservations on a Saturday night. My wife and I were seated immediately. Nice large restaurant spread out in three rooms. Our waitress took our drink orders shortly after we sat down in our booth. We had the pasta fritta appetizer with my wife picking the Steak Siciliano and I the Prime Rib for our main course. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and pratically melted in your mouth. My wife said her meal was delicious. We had an excellent bottle of Italian Red blend wine along with our dinner. The tiramusu and 7 layer chocolate cake were the perfect finish to the night. We will definitely be back again soon!
Fresh warm bread with EVOO and Parmesan right when we sat down, my daughteryummy lasagna! I had their special Chiliean Seabass with mushroom wild rice--such a great crust on the seabass! Cooked to perfection, lobster bisque with the puff pastry, my husband had the chopped salad with CHICKEN TORTELLACHI ALFREDO, ended with Reese's chocolate peanut butter pie. Everything was De-darn-liscious!! Love coming here! Service was fab!
Make sure that you make reservations as soon as you can. Even reserving 3 days prior can be difficult to get in at 5:30-8:30PM. This was my second visit. The ambiance is romantic & charming. The service has been perfect both times and always with a great attitude and smiles. They offer fantastic drinks such as delicious wines, martinis, & mules. The seasonal drink specials are fun too. They have an extensive menu with consistent food offerings. The EVOO & parmesan cheese at the table with fresh bread is such a delight to start the meal. They have the best steaks you'll find in Northern Illinois. The filet mignon was super tender, perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, a balanced grilled char on the outside, a thick cut of meat, and so very juicy. It's difficult to decide on the baked potato or pasta side with the steak because both are great accompaniments. The alfredo sauce was perfectly creamy & cheesy and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The Mediterranean sea bass filets were rich, delicious, and hearty. I highly recommend that you add at least a meatball or Italian sausage or two to share at the table. Don't forget to save room for dessert too. It truly finishes the experience, sweetly. So far, the peanut butter pie & tiramisu were a delight to share. You won't be disappointed. I truly can't wait to return!
che figata! This place is the best. It an an enormous Italian restaurant in a small Illinois town. If you blink, you might just miss Richmond, IL when driving on US 12. The food is fresh and the highest in quality. Seafood pasta diablo with shrimp and scallops, served over a bed of linguini was incredible. Drinks are well done and the service is professional, prompt and polite. Do yourself a favor next time you are in the neighborhood, make a resi and have the best meal that you have had in a while. Caio!
Always is an outstanding dining experience! Food is delicious. Gluten free options are on the menu; taste is fabulous - you'd never know it's GF. The house dressing is outstanding! We've been going here for years. The owner is extremely cordial and makes customers feel like family. Staff is friendly and attentive. High on the ambiance scale.
