Paesanos - River Walk - San Andreas

Great service great food great atmosphere would recommend family and friends

My wife and I shared a little house salad that was fantastic. The house dressing made the salad.

Location and staff were great. Bread okay. Clam linguine good but veal Marsala was roasted and boiled.

I booked this because of the excellent reviews. Big mistake. We just had an amazing lunch in the Pearl, and this was not even close to quality or ambience. The clientele was loud, obnox, some drunk, sweatshirts, gold chains that felt it like a drunk friat house. The aubergine starter was full of herbal pieces that were not even cut into something justifiable they were massive, but not in a good way, it was the way that you cut everything back to put it on the bread. The server seemed inappropriate to literally pour our wine into the edge as if it were a soft drink. The bathrooms were quite dirty and had not been visited in some time. I have no idea how it gets these reviews. Perhaps the rest of the Riverwalk is worse, but for someone who has traveled a bit, this was a really surprisingly bad experience for one of the top rated restaurants in this city.

Great food, the staff was outstanding, and the manager visited our table twice. The experience was outstanding! We ordered the meatball appetizer (amazing), shrimp Paesano (outstanding) and wine. Would definitely recommend.
