We just came home from lunch at Johnny Paisano's. They have some new menu items and specials. I had the Prime center cut New York strip steak with caramelized onions and cheddar cheese. It was the best cheese steak sandwich I ever had. read more

Outstanding Dining Experience Review I recently ordered door dash at this place and the taste thoroughly impressed me. Here's my take: First impressions Food The food was delicious and served hot, exactly as it should be. It's clear there's a strong commitment to quality and timely execution. I forgot to snap a photo of my own dish, but I did photograph my son's meal--his sandwich looked delicious and was presented well. Highlights Consistently hot and flavorful dishes. A kitchen that clearly cares about the quality and timing of the plates. Would I recommend? Yes. If you're looking for reliably tasty, hot meals and delicious food. Quick note for future visits If you're like me and love snapping photos of your plates, try to capture your own dish next time--though the presentation on my son's plate was a great tease of what the kitchen can deliver. read more

Really good sandwiches. We're eager to try more of their menu. Finally tried Johnny Paisano's in their newish location near Staples. Had passed by their old one on Baltimore Pike previously but had never gone in. Boy, we missed a lot. We ordered two different sandwiches to split while watching bowl games and they were both great (the sandwiches, not the games). Grilled Chicken Italiano: With Provolone and Spinach. Perfectly melted cheese wrapped the chicken and spinach. Very tasty. Grilled Chicken Spezie: Grilled chicken pieces with a combination chili oil and pesto sauce, with asiago cheese to hold everything together. Really, really spicy. Really good. Both sandwiches came on seeded rolls, about 10 inches each. We didn't make much progress on either sandwich because they were so dense. More leftovers though! Waited a few minutes for our order upon arrival. Payment was easy (self service) with contactless payments and a separate screen for tip. They have a refrigerator section at the entrance for desserts. There is also a small dining room, which was packed. Parking was easy in their shared strip mall lot. It's near Orange Theory Fitness and Capriotti's. I'd definitely go back to try more takeout items. read more

We had the wings and grilled chicken Caesar salad hoagies which were great but there's something off with the Caesar dressing imo. Staff was very attentive and friendly. read more

Service is superb. The staff wanted to make sure I had a fresh cake. Their hard work with the display worked on me as I got a pistachio cake slice in addition to their special of salted caramel crunch vanilla. I think the pistachio one comes out the most for me because they used actual pistachios. The crunch from the other one comes from the nuts I think, but it works. With both cakes, the syrup texture felt similar and even though I liked the syrup, I didn't love it. I'm not an expert on making food, but this is what my palette was telling me. Maybe others can offer an opinion on their cakes as well. I also ordered their special of Ricotta Special Bread. They have a picture of this on their IG, and it's almost like a pizza, but it just works. The combination of flavors and the different type of ingredients, and the portion size is nice. This should probably be a regular on their menu instead. One of the ladies working there was raving about how she wanted some herself too- I wasn't sure if it was just her being a great employee- but no, it's the real deal! The staff here really want to make you feel like you're at home. I'm wavering between 4 and 5 stars here, and I think it comes down to based on what you order and if you enjoy it or not. I think some of their items will "knock you out of the park" and others are just okay. I don't think there will be anything people would absolutely hate unless they are too picky. They update their FB and IG, but their website doesn't have the current specials listed. Just me thinking about it, it sounds like a lot to update. read more

We were in the area visiting from DE., found this place with good ratings, good reviews & great food! Everyone was friendly, accommodating & you can feel the Italian vibe in the air. We started w/appetizers: the meatballs & cheesesteak egg rolls. The egg rolls tasted freshly made & tasted like a crunchy little cheese steak. The meatballs...omg!!!!....these are the real deal, all beef, homemade! Side note: we met the owner table side, telling him what good food he served. In conversation, my wife mentioned she has food allergies & couldn't eat some of the items on menu. She mentioned how good the cheese steak egg rolls looked but they come from same fryer as shellfish so she couldn't have them. Johnny came back shortly with a cheese steak egg roll & grilled it for her, (so not to trigger her allergies), which she loved. It says a lot about what Johnny Paisano's is all about. A team working together like family. For entrees, I got the short rib ragu over fresh Pappardelle pasta and my wife got the braciole. Both dishes had home made Italian gravy that tasted so fresh, garden tomatoes, garlic, herbs & spices with a whole lotta love going into this sauce. The meat in both our dishes was flavorful & tender. I couldn't believe it, but we had barely enough room for deserts: The Chocolate Bomb & Crème Brûlée cheese cake. Looks can be deceiving; the Chocolate Bomb, filled with chocolate mousse, cream filling & Nestle Crunch crust, was 1/2 as heavy as the cheesecake. Both....were amazing! We live 1 1/2 hrs away, but Johnny Paisano's is locked in my favorite restaurants! read more

What a wonderful place - the restaurant was charming, wait staff were amazing and the food was unbelievable!!! We had chicken parm and chicken Saltimbocca. They were both a good. I also ordered a side Caesar salad -yum. For dessert we had the tiramisu. You could tell by the first bite it was homemade. It was excellent. Can't wait to come back and try the list of sandwiches. So many to choose from - folks around us ordered them. They looked delicious. Thank you for a fun evening. read more

First time there, we are from a neighboring county, and we will be back. Their hoagies and cheesesteaks are amazing! Best we have ever had. Desserts and Soups also had a wide variety and delicious! Thanks for the amazing food! Can't wait to return. Worth the trip! No wonder they have been in business almost 30 years! read more

My Brother and I went to Johnny Paisano's last night. The food was delicious. Went got the Veal tortellini in a spicy oil appetizer. I got the pork sugo special and my brother got the seafood paisano, we both enjoyed our meals. Our server was very nice and checked in with us regularly to see how our meal going. read more

First time @ Johnny Paisano's in Springfield, everything was wonderful, the staff, food & ambience. Bonus is the restaurant is a BYOB. Amazing experience, our waitress Heather, could not have been nicer or more accommodating. The owner came by the table to check on everything & then came back later and sat & chatted with us for a bit, which was delightful. We were the last to and staff were so gracious. Our group looking forward to returning. read more

My Wife and I were looking for something quick to eat for lunch and came across this place and figured it was worth a try from what we heard. As soon as we entered it has a classic and intimate atmosphere. The staff was friendly and immediately invited us to sit down. They have an extensive menu of a wide range of Italian foods but I decided I had to try the Italian sub. The Italian sub was packed with so much flavor, quality meats, and all the toppings you would want on it.....it was overflowing. I took my time and enjoyed the experience.....I personally can't wait until I return. read more

Huge servings of delicious, homestyle Italian dishes served with hot, toasted garlic bread. Loved the warm, welcoming atmosphere (shout out to our friendly server, Bernie) and the wide variety of pastas and sauces. The dining room is small, so try a weeknight or arrive before 5 to get a table for an early supper. read more

When one door closes another opens and the Universe has done well for our local Restaurateurs, Johnny and Christine Minicozzi. You won't find the famous "Johnny Paisano" on Baltimore Pike anymore. Not even in a small location on Leamy Ave. Find them where Staples and Giant are at Sproul/Rt 420, Springfield Shopping Center, 751 Sproul Road, Springfield, 19064. Johnny's new location is now open, comfortable with pleasant personnel and still the very best Italian Food in the area. Great seating, plus catering, takeout and refrigerators stocked with soups and easy to take home foods. I used his catering for my Sister's Funeral 9/2023 and people are still talking about the quality food they delivered. Come back, I did with the juiciest mushroom cheese pizza steak.

Forget the hoagies. Go for the entrees. Very good Caesar. Service is great. Johnny is a real nice guy. Cannolis and tiramisu are delish.

My sister found this wonderful restaurant by chance. In the area hungry we decided to stop in. Wow such a great dining experience. The food was exceptionally delightful. She had meat lasagna, I tried the fire cracker wings with potatoes. Both dishes cooked to perfection. We actually live in a Philly suburb and have been here twice. Trust me it is well worth the trip. We chatted with owners, such a friendly couple. Hey we hope to see them again on our return visit read more

Food was delicious and our server Amber was great. She was very attentive and accommodating.

I've gotten take-out hoagies here a few times and they are really good, I'd rate them 4 star or better. But the main point of this review is about dining in. We've dined-in twice. The food is excellent. Over our visits we've had chicken parm, some veal dish (I can't recall which), pasta, white clam sauce, and recently a short rib ragu over pappardelle. All the food was delicious. I did think the short rib ragu was a little too tomato forward instead of beefy and rich....but still very good. So why the 3 star review? In short I think the kitchen needs to hire more staff. Both times we dined-in, it took way too long to get our food. We over heard the hostess tell callers that take-out was an hour and half delay. Well it was the same sitting at a table. The first time we figured it was just an off night but the food was good so we'll give it another try. This was the second time and again there are delays with food coming out. This place should easily be 4+ The place is bright and nicely decorated. Staff are very friendly. The waitress came by a couple times to apologize for the delay (although we had to ask for some bread and butter to hold us over. That should have come sooner without asking) I don't know if we'll be back. The food is great if you're not in a hurry. read more

Always excellent food and great service! Atmosphere is pleasant and staff is always willing to assist

Stumbled upon this place while driving down Baltimore Pike. You could certainly miss the sign because it's a bit on the smaller side. The inside is small, but clean and homely with some mob movie posters on the walls. I believe the owner has taken my order each time I visited. He's a nice guy, very Italian and gave me great recommendations off the menu. On three trips I've had the breaded Chicken Diablo - sharp provolone, spicy marinara sauce and added long hots, a breaded Chicken Siciliano - sharp provolone, fried hot peppers and tomatoes and The Sonny - portabello mushrooms, sharp provolone and roasted red peppers. All three came on a fresh seeded Aversa's roll and the sharp provolone used was the legit extra sharp stuff. At $9.50-$10 a sandwich I thought they were an excellent value. The quality of the ingredients (huge props for the sharp provo) really came through when you took a bite into these sandwiches. My guy came out from the kitchen each time to come and ask how everything was to the diner's and engaged in friendly convo about the food. My favorite so far has been the Chicken Diablo only because of the spicy marinara and the kick from the long hots, but honestly all three sandwiches I've had so far were great. Don't miss out on these guys, you won't be disappointed. read more

We have always gotten the take out from johnnys when it was on Baltimore pike and that was great now that they moved and now have a sit in byob restraint it's even better. The food is great and the portions are unbelievable This place also is well priced. Do yourself a favor and eat dinner here it's fantastic. You will not be disappointed. read more

Finally made it in for a sit down dinner after having been big fans of their takeout for years. Can't believe we waited so long. The food and service were both tremendous and the portions were huge. The owner even stooped by to tell us the eggplant was from his grandmother's recipe. Could not have been a nicer evening and I can't recommend highly enough. read more

I would give 100 stars if I could. I ordered the wrong Caesar salad which was my mistake and Christine, johnnys wife, told me to hold on.. she ran back to the kitchen and made the one I meant to order. The salad was absolutely amazing and a huge portion which is rare nowadays. I got the Diablo sauce to go for pasta I was making at home and didn't have time to make my own sauce. It was perfect. I also got pasta fagioli which was soo good. I can't believe this was my first time here, I'm a customer for life! Amazing food and amazing people. Check it out, you won't want to eat anywhere else read more

Holy Moly! As I'm writing this review, my sister is scrapping the remains from her "Seafood Paisano" she really, really liked it! She's in a never-ending search for the next great local hidden gem, she spends arounds 30 minutes a day, searching different SMP's including Facebook- "DELCO Restuarant Review" group page, and there she found great reviews for Johnnys Paisano's in Springfield, PA. So off we went, WOW! great dinner! every aspect was of our visit was delight, the friendly service and the relaxed vibe was so refreshing, our meal was delicious Chef Johnny knocked in out of the park! Spending the day with family tomorrow so we are going back to Johhny Paisano's for a Family Meal Package. Overall, a Great experience! http://johnnypaisanos.com/ read more

Been living in the area my entire life but never been here. Ate in. Very extensive menu .... Sandwiches, salads, entrees. Food was okay. Fried raviolis still frozen inside and sub par ..... paisanos veal sandwich underwhelming and mushroom steak was nothing special. Much better options elsewhere so regretfully we won't be back They seem to have a great "regular" crowd so for the less discerning palate it's probably great. read more

Hoagies are the best ! I don't know what else to say everything about them the bread the size it's big tasty just the best !

I tried Johnny Paisano's a few times and never really thought the food was anything to write home about. However, I am done and will not be going back. I have to say they have the absolute worst Fettuccine Alfredo I have ever had and it's one of my all time favorites so I have tried many. It was completely and utterly flavorless. It had no flavor. It was a decent portion but it was basically like eating pasta in cream - where's the Pecorino Romano, the spices, something to give it some flavor? I even tried to doctor it up at home but it was beyond repair. I expected something way better! Oh well... Really don't feel that they are all people say they are cracked up to be. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Hands down the best Italian Food in Delco. Moving here from South Philly 8 years ago, I didn't think I would ever find good food around here. This restaurant has been a game changer. I recommend this place to everyone. The blackened chicken Caesar salad is my absolute favorite. The healthy food prep options are delicious. I always order the Family Style meals if I have people coming over to my house. I love this place! It's authentic, fresh, the owners are lovely people, I can't rave enough about this place. read more
