We took a break from the losing money aspect of the night to get some really good food in. Tell me that's not a perfect date. Road trip Frankie Valli a little bit of gambling and a delicious dinner. This night goes down in the Books. I love the oil garlic. Take your knife and rub that garlic all over your bread. And it's spread like butter. Our food and service was top tier 5. Stars.

Came for the first time with my family on Christmas day. They had a special menu for the day, and you had your pick of 3 courses. The food was excellent, the atmosphere and staff were very helpful. This place does require a reservation, if you do not want to wait. I definitely would recommend this place, if your are at Pachanga.

If you're ever at Pechanga and craving something fresh, hot, and full of flavor, Pronto Italiano is the spot to hit. Their pizza is on another level -- perfectly crispy crust, melty cheese, and toppings that taste super fresh. You can literally smell the goodness as they make it right in front of you. I grabbed a slice and ended up going back for more. It's that good. The service was awesome too -- fast, friendly, and even with the casino crowd they move quick and keep the energy positive. It's the perfect spot to fuel up whether you're in between games or just hanging out with friends and family. Big shoutout to the team there -- you can tell they care about the food and the customers. I'll definitely be coming back every time I'm at Pechanga. Highly recommend!

Everything here was excellent. The complimentary bread with the olive oil, garlic, and chili was delicious. The pasta was flavorful and perfectly al dente. The filet mignon was outstanding, flavor was done really well and cooked nice medium rare. The tiramisu was moist but not too moist. Service was on the slower end but staff were still friendly. Overall, great food and a must-visit if you're at Pechanga Resort.

Nice ambience, the service was great but the food was with mediocre. We gave it 3 chances. Our first dining experience the food was good but we can't say for our 2nd and 3rd experience. The food we ate was inconsistent the 2nd and 3rd time around. It was quite salty.

I totally judged Paisano's by its (non-existent) cover and assumed it was just another run of the mill boring ole' Italian snooze-fest. WRONG!!!!! This place is fancy fancy, like "did I accidentally put on a dress for a reason?" kinda fancy!! The food? Bellissimo! We were basically serenaded by warm, fresh-baked Italian bread and balsamic dip while we waited. If carbs are a crime, lock me up and throw away the olive oil. We dove headfirst into: * Wagyu Meatballs (juicy flavor bombs) * Fried Mozzarella (because stretchy cheese is my love language) * Chicken Marsala (wine sauce = chef's kiss) * Margherita Pizza (classic, but make it gourmet) * Short-Rib & 3 Cheese Ravioli (this one made me emotional, it was fire!!) * 12-oz Prime Ribeye (cue dramatic steak montage) Every single dish slapped! Hard!!! Shoutout to our servers Sean & Milben... both superstars! Sean had us laughing while pouring water like a stand-up comic w a day job. We're already planning our return. Paisano's, I owe you an apology and possibly a love letter for ever neglecting you this long!!

Menu as of 6/30/25

This was my hubby and I's FIRST TIME here! We usually like to go next door to the GREAT OAK STEAKHOUSE but, decided to try something new so now we know a new lovely and charming Italian date night spot to go to. It's also a great place for friends and family. We noticed the open kitchen concept right away... SONG of the day to play along to this YELP REVIEW: Mambo No.5 by Perez Prado & His Orchestra... A little bit of Lasagna in my life A little bit of Calamari by my side A little bit of Spaghetti's all I need A little bit of Paisano's what I see... We were greeted by 2 lovely ladies in the front and one of the ladies walked us to our table right which was situated in the heart of the restaurant!... We got the $60 dinner for 2: Choice of Caesar Salad or Soup of the Day. We both chose soup of the day which was a very nice and creamy TOMATO BISQUE! LASAGNA: 4.5/5 It was just a bit on the salty side so I poured some TABASCO on top and it was enjoyable. Generous portions! SPAGHETTI with MEATBALLS: 4/5 Tasted good. I'm from LA so it reminded me of a good cafeteria spaghetti or kid friendly spaghetti... STAR OF THE SHOW: drum roll...FRIED CALAMARI IT was so crispy and not chewy or rubbery at all. I finished it ALL by myself!!!! BRAVO CHEF!!! Another HONORABLE MENTION: The complimentary bread and garlic olive oil. It was so big, warm and fluffy! I took one slice from the middle of the basket and it was bigger than the size of my hand!!! The Bread, Calamari and Soup was quite delicious and filling. So when the main course came I was only able to take a few bites and ask for the rest to be packed home including the TIRAMISU... SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Eduardo was very attentive and patient with us! Thank you Eduardo and all the staff there for providing us better service than a 5 star hotel like the Langham in South Pasadena. However, I was a bit confused about limiting substitutions because I wasn't planning on substituting anything. PARKING: Plenty! It's at the Pechanga Casino!! ROCK ON PAISANO's ITALIAN!!!! I was almost discouraged to come because of the 1 star reviews on YELP. They must have improved a lot because my experience was TOP NOTCH. Glad I came and experienced it myself ;)

We went to Paisano for christmas dinner and made a reservation in advance, definitely recommended without one you'll likely end up waiting. They offered a set 3 course menu for the evening. Overall we enjoyed our experience, though the meatballs have a weird taste, I end up switching plates with my husband. The service was good, our waiter was polite and attentive. I really loved the ambience and overall vibe that night.

We came here as we got food credit here a $25 and a $35 dollar one. I got the special which had a salad, Spaghetti with meatballs and tiramisu. My wife got the shrimp scampi but had to pay a little bit more for it. The meat balls did had a weird taste to it. I ended up eating the whole thing however. The dessert was great however. Overall, this place was alright, but probably would prefer to eat somewhere else.

Lamb and Risotto
Scooby Snack Diaries O.

Great spot! The servings are quite large. The lamb was cooked perfectly. The risotto was delicious and mushroom pieces were large.

Lasagna

Sean never disappoints. The food, the wine , the bread service, the mgr everything is awesome. We love this place. Lasagna was the best!!!!

Montay P.

My wife and I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is great -- nice, relaxing, and welcoming -- and the service is top-notch. We especially enjoy the spaghetti and Wagyu meatballs. If you're looking for something more upscale, the surf and turf is outstanding as well.

Delicious chicken piccata.

See all
