  • My parents used to go to the original location on dates, and brought us to the University Square location as kids. We mainly got pizza, but what made an impression even as a child was the Garibaldi. I'd only been to the current location once before, shortly after it opened, and my date and I made the mistake of ordering pasta. The other reviews arent joking: steer clear from pasta and traditional (American) Italian classics. This is not the place. I vowed not to go back after that experience. I understand and respect keeping the menu the same after so many decades, and I bet people that grew up on these dishes are overjoyed that they can still get them. Since I grew up on the pizza and sandwiches . . . didnt work for me. If you havent had Paisan's pasta before, dont start now. Recently I got the strongest craving for a Garibaldi. I used to be able to get them from Delitalia, a long closed sister restaurant, and Deli Roma, an unaffiliated restaurant that ripped off their trademarked sandwich and made a FAR better version of it. But alas they are also closed, so I decided to give Paisan's another shot. Garibaldi is still a Garibaldi and as far as I can tell, this is the only remaining place you can get one by any name. Gino's, Fraboni's, you cant introduce a Gandolfini or something? I also tried the renowned Porta salad. For the price, I expected a more substantial sandwich, either in size or quality. It was excellent but did not seem like an almost $10 sandwich. The same with the $10.50 portion of the Porta. I will continue to go back unless we start making Garibaldi's at home or some place more convenient starts offering them. 3 stars for the food quality, the 4th is for being the only place to have the Garibaldi. Have I said Garibaldi enough? Garibaldi Garibaldi Garibaldi Garibaldi. Man I wish when there were multiple places all over Madison you could get them. Garibaldi Garibaldi Garibaldi. If you're not from here you might not understand. Oh, I want to add, I only got takeout, but the service was excellent. They had gotten part of my order wrong and charged me for something less, and they corrected it without upcharging me. The woman who appeared to be the manager was very friendly and helpful. My food was ready quicker than expected. Garibaldi Garibaldi Garibaldi Garibaldi. Garibaldi Garibaldi Garibaldi Garibaldi.
