Chicken with risotto
Chelsea C.

I must start off this review by telling you we had the best lobster bisques we've ever had here. If we come back for anything it is that! Our friends rave about this restaurant and all though we enjoyed our meal we may not have ordered the right thing so we'll have to go back and give it another shot. The staff was friendly and the location was nice.

Lasagna is quite good here.

Date of visit: May 20, 2025 Our friend has been a fan of Paisano's for many years, so we were really excited to give them a try, and outside of the service, it was a fantastic meal. Host staff was friendly and led us to a nice table up half a level up that had a nice view of much of the restaurant. The menu was large, with many options--but not too many where it was overwhelming. We had lots of time to look at the menu before we were served. Our waitress was all business--the only time she smiled is when she noticed that our friend had bleu cheese in his salad and he had asked for no bleu cheese... Thankfully the food more than made up for the service. My lobster bisque with puff pastry on top was excellent, even if it was a bit light on the lobster. My lasagna was also wonderful, hot and not lacking in cheese--as any good lasagna should be! My side pasta was a bit meh, but that was just a bonus so I wasn't too worried about it. I would definitely come again, just hope not to get seated in Comrade's section!

What a charming place. The atmosphere is comfortable and stylish. The food was awesome. I had the spaghetti with meat sauce, others had the Veal Marsala and Veal Parmesan with a wedge salad. The Clam Chowder soup was very tasty. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly. The service was great. I know we will go back again.

Close time varies, phone first.

I found myself taking a road trip to god's country and mapped out a journey here, on my way home. I recently saw them highlighted by Mario Turano (the bread guy) and took his advice on getting the delicious chicken parm. I guess they also have it with a ribeye. Comes with potatoes or pasta, I went with the spaghetti and meat sauce. The bread is great and can easily fill you up, be careful. I was stuffed,.. but the sweet hostess brought me some of their house made gelato. I usually don't like salted caramel but it was delicious. Orange sherbet cleansed the palate. Wonderful waitress checking in frequently. Has a great feel on the inside of a northwoods lodge, in a historic building. (1846) They've swallowed up 3 other units next door and have al fresco dining too. I guess there's no set closing time, depending on patrons at the bar. Kitchen typically closes at 9pm.

Lobster bisque

We made a reservation for 4 people at 7 pm on a Friday. We made the reservation two days before. When we got to the restaurant it was very busy, but we were seated immediately due to our reservation. Our waitress came over right away and got our drink order. Our drinks took a bit to come out due it obviously being a Friday night. The waitress poured a little wine for my friend and I to taste and then poured us each a glass when we liked it. I ordered the filet - medium and I would say it came out medium rare but I didn't want to send it back so I just dealt with it. My husband got lobster bisque which was delicious BUT NOT FOR $17!!!!! That is outrageous to me. It came with a plume of bread on top which was a cool touch. The gnocchi was good with the vodka cream sauce. My friend ordered chicken parm and said it was yummy but she didn't like the pasta that came with it. My other friend ordered fettuccine Alfredo and said it was very good. Our bill was $230 for all four of us.

Paisano's is great! We've been here several times over the course of a decade and have enjoyed it every time. We've had a lot of their menu, most recently got the sausage rotini and it was incredible! The flavors were explosive and it even had a small kick to it which was a nice touch. My grandparents' favorite thing on the menu is the Broadway shrimp. Pro tip: the rigatoni is all homemade. Our servers were awesome and even suggested some fun tweaks to the menu (baked rigatoni with vodka sauce and sausage). They served fresh bread right up front with olive oil and cheese, and again, that was super delicious. The restaurant itself is themed like Italy and it provides an enjoyable ambiance. Everything is kept very clean. Our kids and whole family loved it. Excited to come back again!

Second year in a row that we've been here for my husband's birthday. This year we had a group of 5. Our server Ashley and the bussers were very attentive and great ! The food was amazing. For a drink I recommend the caramel green apple it was delicious!!

Steak Siciliano

1st visit to Paisano's on Broadway. Was not disappointed. I made reservations on a Saturday night. My wife and I were seated immediately. Nice large restaurant spread out in three rooms. Our waitress took our drink orders shortly after we sat down in our booth. We had the pasta fritta appetizer with my wife picking the Steak Siciliano and I the Prime Rib for our main course. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and pratically melted in your mouth. My wife said her meal was delicious. We had an excellent bottle of Italian Red blend wine along with our dinner. The tiramusu and 7 layer chocolate cake were the perfect finish to the night. We will definitely be back again soon!

Always great! Great macadamia crusted halibut. Also oyster Rockefeller are top notch. I would recommend them for consistently good quality.

No one was there except us....the entire night.....weird compared to back in the day. The deck was a little overgrown and we didn't see any ducks. The paddle wheel is now on land and not in the water, but hey, I am sure I don't look the same as I did 20 years ago either. Once we got inside, It was just like old times. Quaint. The service from Barbara could not have been more personable and attentive. We truly enjoyed her! She mixed a wicked Brandy old fashioned and was quick, but not too quick with her service. The food was all excellent from the relish trays, to the beer cheese pretzel ball and mozzarella sticks. Our dinners ranged from prime ribs...fantastic by the wAy, to meatloaf, butt steak, a burger and ribeye. All were cooked wonderfully. Excellent flavor, fresh salads and nicely prepared potatoes. They prepared a homemade birthday cake. Our entire experience tonight could not have been better in any way. Although it has been 20 years since we were last with you, it will be soon that we return. Don't miss this diamond in the rough!!!
