I live in the neighbourhood and drive past Paese all the time, and have always wanted to go-- but was a bit worried after reading the reviews here. I am So glad we checked it out, despite the picky ness of others!!
We went on a very busy Friday nite, made a reservations and at first we were seated by the front door, not a great location especially when we did make a reservations. We requested to be seated somewhere warmer, and the hostess seated us in a booth at the back. Very Cozy!
The waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menus and wine and extremely attentive during the evening, so i am really not sure what all the fuss was about with other reviews?? Maybe they are just crazy??
A warm rosemary bread basket and luscious lemon hummus was brought to out table to start. A nice touch...
We ordered a pizza to start as an appetizer to share. We had the Affumicata di Bufala pizza-- VERY yummy and the crust was thin as pizza should be.
For the main dishes we ordered the Pasta--Linguini di Pesce, Goat Cheese and Leek Ravioli and the Paese Special Lamb Chop dinner. Our meals were amazing! The Linguini had 2 giant shrimps and a scallop. Very fresh and sweet......
The lamb chop was incredible and if they had this on the main menu we would be at Paese all the time!
The evening was wonderful and Paese you did not disappoint! Looking forward to another great evening soon!
