Paesano Ristorante Italiano

The meal was great and not as expensive as the other fancy Italian restaurants around here.

Awesome pepper steak!

My favorite is the portobello mushrooms with vegetable shrimp linguine. They are very generous on the shrimp and asparagus as well as their house salad which we shared. My wife had the vegetable shrimp linguine with pesto sauce for a more robust flavor, but she admitted mine was the best! Their freshly baked bread with melted butter was so, so good. Their chocolate gelato and mango sorbet was just enough to finish our meal. The ambience, decor and service are excellent!

Excellent gave us time to enjoy a leisurely dinner..no rush food was great, hot and satisfying will be back MAHALO

Came here with an Italian friend. Both of us are impressed with their food and great service. Highly recommended.

Little gem in an unexpected place. Service was great, large menu with plentiful variations on Italian favorites. Clean and classic layout, with fully dressed tables and everything tidy, as you'd expect at a slightly higher end Italian location. Odd location in a strip mall, but you'd never guess it once inside.

It's not easy to find good Italian food on the Island, but when you do find Paesano in the Manoa area, you're in for a delicious meal. The small restaurant sits in a strip mall currently (12/2022) under construction. Once you enter you're transported to a completely different place, with a hospitable host, clean tables, comfortable lighting, and a bustling small crowd. If you can, make reservations, we tried but the phones can go unattended when the restaurant is busy, didn't find an online system. We enjoyed our meals here so much that we came back a second time on our trip to Oahu. The chicken parm (small portion size) was delicious and in a good portion size for this full grown adult, especially after enjoying the several pieces of the freshly baked bread. While I wished for a little better selection of wines, the offerings were fine. Make the room to try the tiramisu, because after all, you're likely on vacation and the scales can wait. I will miss Paesano, now that's not easy for me to say, considering Italian is not always my first choice in cuisine.

Nice atmosphere. Delicious food. Good service. My go to place for all occasions!

To bad after a long time serving the community it is closed

Pretty impressive Italian for being in a corner Moana Valley. Very good service and experience.

Consistently excellent food and service!

First time trying this establishment. I ordered the chicken Parmigiano, which I'm normally a big fan of everywhere I order it. To me, this was simultaneously the most expensive one I've ordered and the worst tasting. The cheese ravioli was decent, and the chocolate mouse cake was good.

Great food, excellent service.

Amazing Italian dishes, would definitely recommend trying out Paesano!

It's fricken good. The best. I only eat Italian from here and nowhere else unless I cook it at home.
