Ok so let's just say FIVEFKNSTARS. ok? ok. I don't give the 5 stars often, but when I do, I mean every red square and white star of it. kickin' it off with the queer-o-meter. yeah, uh.. ten! The staff is so nice and it's Boston, low key all around. I'd like to officially put my bid in for the seasonal Korean "Good for the Seoul" BBQ sandwich to find a home on the permanent menu. It just ended in July and I am heartbroken. My taste buds are piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed to say the least. It was the sandwich that dreams are made of: soft (yet firm) seeded roll, thin fresh cooked chicken cutlets, cabbage slaw, pickled carrots, gochujang BBQ sauce and sriracha mayo. I stood in 85 humid sunny Boston heat for 20-25 min for it. Yes, it's that good. It's heaven on a bun! I've gotten the Drunken Parm, the Hogan, and the Caprese as well. All solid and delicious. I've never gotten one I didn't like. They are pleasant and open to customizing them as well. i.e. no lettuce, extra onion, BBQ on the side. I'm also not sure how, but Thomas the cashier remembers my name every time. That's SO impressive. I mean, I know I don't blend like most, but still, my name among all those people all week long at all the locations? I feel honoured to say the least. Seriously. I didn't get a picture of the BBQ sandwich because honestly, I had devoured it before realizing I should have. whoops. I did get a pic of the Hogan and will post that soon. The good: All of it. and I mean ALL OF IT. You can opt to get chicken, eggplant or one cutlet of each if you're feeling swanky. The location - this is good and bad. Good right by my building and bad that it moves down to Dewey Sq other days. BOO! The bad: The line. They open at 11:30am at Rowes Wharf and there is a line that starts to form at 11:15. I got there today at 11:20 and there were 8 people ahead of me. I might bring a lounge chair with me one of these days. The cost. I personally don't feel it's outrageous. It's a food truck in Boston on the Wharf and it's phenomenal. However, that said I think it's at the cap of what I would spend. I feel it's worth it for what you get. it's $15 for 1/2 and $20 for full sandwich. Pro Tip: psssst, get the full and take 1/2 home. Or eat it if you can't control yourself. I won't berate you for that. I don't consider it bad, but some do.. they cap you at 4 sandwiches per order. If you want more, get catering. And invite me over. Cheers! read more

Paisani - Hogan. No lettuce extra onion - Italian Near Me

Caught Thomas right at closing -- and the chicken was already gone. So I pivoted to eggplant parm with vodka sauce and whipped honey burrata... and wow, no regrets. Believe the hype on @paisanifoodtruck. Absolute read more

Italian food truck in Boston! They pop up in different locations throughout the week, and you can see where on their website. My friend and I always go to their truck when they're at SOWA Sundays, and sometimes it'll be the only reason we go to the market that day. The food heavily reminds me of the sandwiches I would get at my local Italian spots in New Jersey, which is not something I really ever found in Boston. Menu is really small, but everything is good; focused on hot Italian sandwiches (made with eggplant and chicken cutlets), with a changing monthly special. The staff is young (founded by college friends!), super friendly, and they bring a really good energy every time I've visited them. Be warned - their portions are large and very filling. Good for a quick lunch to takeout and enjoy outside when the weather is nice. My favorite sandwiches to order here are the Drunken Parm adn the Caprese Melanzana! read more

Paisani has the making of something great, but in practice, things start to fall apart, literally. I ordered the Arancini and Drunken Parm. The Arancini was excellent. These came out almost as soon as I'd ordered them and tasted very fresh. They were cooked perfectly, with a crisp exterior and a warm, soft corn and risotto interior. Flavor-wise, it was spot-on! The seasoning level was on-point, the vodka sauce was divine, and the risotto & corn had a mild flavor that just worked. With the Drunken Parm, things start to go downhill. It has the same divine sauce, and I want to give them credit for the fresh bread. There was a generous amount of chicken, and the flavor was A-OK, nothing remarkable, but no negative points. The option for ricotta was a nice touch as well. Unfortunately, the fresh loaf combined with a very saucy chicken means the sando fell apart when I picked it up, quickly becoming a fork-and-knife affair. Where it comes to food trucks, something that's convenient on the go is essential. Speaking of: the minutes of a lunch break are precious, and it was around a 15-minute wait to get the sandwich. This wait may be acceptable for a restaurant but less than ideal for a truck. Finally, there was the sheer sticker shock which was the price. The Arancini was $7, and the Drunken Parm was $17. I appreciate that everything is getting more expensive, but $24 before tax feels excessive for what I got. Paisani brings great flavors to the table; however, especially for a food truck, the execution and value are not at a level to have me clamoring for a return visit. read more

I got the monthly special Purple Line- thinly sliced eggplant, crisply fried, with arugula and red peppers and a delicious spread of burrata. Glad I got a half sandwich as it was a substantial portion. The bread was soft but held up well. One of the two owners took my order and was very friendly and personable. Will be back to try other things on the menu! read more

Paisani - Purple Line with crispy eggplant - Italian Near Me

I probably don't do myself any favors watching "food porn" on instagram as i find myself in a constant state of craving what I see online. And then i start to wonder how much is hype and how much is real. I'll be blunt - these guys are 100% legit, real deal. Their sandwiches are absolute fire! I know I make a very good chicken parm and an even better eggplant parm - after having Paisani's I was devastated to think how much better theirs is. Perfectly prepared, and everything is in perfect proportion. Yes - it is a little messy if you go with a sando that has vodka sauce on it ... it's worth it! Get messy...your stomach will thank you later. (If you eat a whole sandwich - you might also want a nap at some point in the afternoon). If there is anything that rivals the food - it's the people on the truck! Friendly, engaging, and seemingly all around good people. These are the type of guys I want to support. I know the idea of $17 for a sandwich seems high ... BUT, for most people I'd argue a whole sandwich is more than a meal and a half ($10) would be a hearty meal for many people. Alternatively - I'd rather pay these guys for the quality (and portion sizes) than a couple bucks less for less flavor, quality and overall happiness (after the meal). While I've only been once, I'm comfortable saying I'm already an addict. Counting down the days until I can get another sandwich next week. Pro tip: if you love eggplant and chicken - order it LP style!! (1/2 and 1/2). read more

Ya girl is back once again with a Yelp review. This time it's for a food truck. Food: 5/5 THIS SANDWICH WENT BACKKKK, and so will I. The sandwich I ordered was the drunken chicken parm. The sandwich was good, the meat to bread ratio was 10/10 nice and even. The sauce has the right amount of sweetness, and flavor which does not over power the chicken. The chicken was thinly sliced and breaded, cooked well so that it wasn't rough or super chewy like a lot of subs with thin chicken slices. The meat was layered with sauce in between. On the top of the chicken and sauce was cheese of course- with slices of mozzarella which seemed to be legit not the kind you get a local pizzeria with all the vegetable oil spots. Quite honestly, for a food truck in downtown Boston and the amount of food you get it's worth the $17 price tag- which i know can be steep for some. My photo is only half of the sandwich- I was too deep into the first half. Sorry. Service: 5/5 The service was very good. I went around the time the truck opened- which is what I'd recommend for any business where traffic can pick up easily. The gentleman was super sweet, service was prompt- i got my sandwich within 10 minutes and it was warm. Location: 3/5 The location is in downtown near rowed wharf. For a business it's well located, lots of foot traffic- and they move. I can only speak for the rowes wharf spot. The park is tough, i have to be honest- the truck was a bit hard to find BUT if you go to this link and select get directions, it puts you right near it www...rosekennedygreenway....org/map/?location=food-trucks-rowes-wharf-plaza...of course remove the extra periods. I'm personally not a fan of places that have heavy traffic nor the city. Parking: 1/5 as explained above. Prices: For a food truck the prices lean towards high. But as stated previously, i think it's worth it based on location and quantity. Suggestion: A sandwich with chicken slices and eggplant slices combined would be FIRE. read more

Didn't have everything available on their menu but didn't communicate that to people before they waited 20 minutes on line... could have easily put up a sign but couldn't be bothered. Ordered something other than what I wanted and it was bland, not fully cooked/heated and thrown in the trash. Horrible. read more

One of the best sandwiches I have ever had in the city. Got the caprese with fried eggplant. Amazing!

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! So excited when we saw this Italian food truck and saw they served arancini! The arancini was great and the parmesan chicken sandwich unbelievably good! Service was wonderful all guys very pleasant and totally customer focused! EAT HERE! read more

The drunken parm sandwich is real good. Dare I say the best I've had in the city?! They charge $18 for it and although that seems utterly ridiculous even for Boston, it is worth every penny. Chicken is thin and crispy and smothered in some magically delicious sauce. If you like chicken parm, you must experience this sandwich. Haven't tried anything else on their menu because I can never not get the chicken parm. read more

GREAT food and great personality from the truck, definitely recommend! Just make sure to get there early if during work lunch time

My brother stopped by Paisani food truck and came back with drunken parms for the whole family. Even after the 25 minutes drive home all 4 sandwiches were perfect. There was the perfect amount of sauce to cover the large portions of chicken but not too much so the sandwich didn't get messy or fall apart as you ate it. Sorry mom but your chicken parm doesn't compare! read more
