Cheese and bacon cheese fries (clearly mostly eaten)
Becky K.

I almost never review places that I have ordered delivery from, especially not when it is a third party app. But I ordered Paisano's through Uber Eats, and everything was shockingly good. We ordered the meat lovers stromboli, the bacon cheese fries, and the brownie. I really debated on the fries because cheese fries made with melted cheese (and not with a side of nacho cheese) almost never travel well. I thought for sure they would be cold and disappointing, but they arrived still hot and were delicious. There was plenty of both cheese and bacon, and they sent a side of ranch. The bacon was thick and flavorful, not just bacon bits or something. The stromboli was similarly packed. It was big (definitely enough to share between two people), and there was a lot of filling. It was perfectly cheesy and savory. Even the brownie was delicious. It had chocolate chips in it and was thick and fudgy. Not only was everything good quality, but I thought the prices were exceedingly reasonable. I am glad I finally decided to try Paisano's (I almost didn't because of the mixed reviews on here) because I really enjoyed it and will definitely order again.

I bought dinner from here and the food was fantastic! I had originally thought about just ordering a pizza like I usually do from this place, but tonight I went for something different. The pizzas from here are definitely delicious and filling, don't get me wrong. But they pack a lot of calories and fat, even if you order a veggie pizza. I haven trying not to go down that road lately, so tonight I ordered the chicken Philly and cheese sub with French fries included. I probably could have skipped the fries, but I still saved myself from 1500+ calories. I ordered the sandwich online while I was driving over, and it was ready by the time I got there. The service and food were great!

MOZZARELLA STICKS
Tiffany N.

This place is not very big, it only has 6 seats (max). Came here on a weekday and I was able to get a table because it was not too busy! I ordered the hot Buffalo wings with blue cheese and The mozzarella sticks. I think the Buffalo wings can be spicier, and they were just a bit over cooked and burned, which made the meat a little bit dry. The moz sticks were pretty good tho! Overall, I would recommend if you're looking for some quick lunch!

GIANT SPINACH CALZONE
Lizz M.

Overall, for being so close to where I was, this was a win for a quick dinner! I did the mozzarella sticks with a giant calzone and a small side salad. The house dressing was really good- I was impressed with how fresh and yummy the salad was. Mozzarella sticks were solidly good- very tasty. Spinach/ ricotta Calzone was good- the dough/bread used for it wasn't what I'm used to but overall it made for more than one meal and definitely was overall a good dinner. Not the best calzone I've ever had, but certainly tasty. Wondered why the calzone wasn't served with marinara sauce. Quick and easy to pickup and the person who helped me get my food was really nice.

BAKED SPAGHETTI
Irina R.

I have ordered from here a couple times and it hasn't been bad. I definitely recommend their pizza and the mozzarella sticks! I ordered their baked pasta for the first time and it was okay. I think there was a little bit too much tomato sauce and it was a little bit watery. But I will definitely be ordering pizza from here again.

Said heart shaped pizza.

The experience was definitely a success…read more Everyone must get the Duck Hunt--the flavor was immaculate. We almost ordered another one. Even the Polpette was extremely delicious, especially for something as simple as meatballs. Now for the main course, the 40-Layer Lasagna was amazing. I will say, though, that after a while, the flavor became so rich that it started to feel a little tiring. The Rigatoni alla Carbonara was also super good. I actually ended up switching with my partner so we could both enjoy the rest of each other's dishes. For dessert, we got the Crème Brûlée. I'd rate it a 4/5. The flavor was different from a traditional crème brûlée, but it was still delicious. Overall, everything was really good, and I would definitely come back to try some of the other dishes!

They have many good options on their menu. There's a little something for everyone. From the antipasti menu, I enjoyed their Verde salad, the Carciofi, and the Hamachi Crudo. The hamachi was a highlight; it was so fresh and bright. For mains, we got the pomodoro and bolognese pastas. These were alright. The pasta itself was a little harder than al dente unfortunately. But the flavor of the sauces were yummy. I loved the dessert! We had the chocolate cake and the creme brulee. These were among the best bites of the night. Restrooms were large and mostly clean. Wasn't expecting them to be as ornate (or as dark inside) as they were. Downside is that the restrooms are right next to the kitchen area so wait staff were constantly moving and I was worried about tripping someone.

Here's my one warning... COME HUNGRY and choose your company wisely! You'll want to sample every plate on the table and if you're smart, you'll enjoy as many apps as you desire and share your entree! The crab purse app was sinful! Full of the juiciest large lump crab meat I've enjoyed in decades. And the Bolognese Lasagna was simply divine! Truthfully, I had no desire after a long workday to even have a cocktail, but the waiter was able to recommend a great glass of red wine to compliment what was already ordered and he was 100% correct. Sorry, I can't recall the vintage, but it brought out the flavor of the Sunday sauce, spectacularly! And while I did manage to leave room for chocolate mousse cake for dessert, I have a better suggestion! On a day, truly any day you can, just go to Filomena for a glass of wine and the dessert of your choice! Don't wait for a special occasion. Life is too short to not come back here just for a glass and the dessert of your choice! TRUST ME!!

I found this restaurant at the last minute and boy am I glad we did!…read more We arrived at around 7:45 and the place was packed. The hostess told us we likely wouldn't sit until 9:45 so I inquired about the bar and the manager quickly stepped in to put us on a waitlist. Since the restaurant is connected to a food hall of sorts, she recommended we grab a drink there while we wait. Shortly after we got our drink, we received notification of an opening and were seated by 8:15. We had the burrata appetizer, Ragú x 2, and the seafood fra diavolo. The burrata was one of the best I've had since they serve it with pesto, pine nuts, and garlic bread. It was truly divine! The Ragú was not far behind. Incredible flavor and a generous portion. The seafood dish had a nice kick and had plenty of seafood, which is not common as of late. All dishes were also priced reasonably for the quality you received. As we sat at the bar, we had pleasant conversation with the bartender and finished our meal with a small cannoli that really sealed the deal. If you're looking for excellent Italian food in DC without breaking the bank, look no further than Caruso's grocery! However, I'd recommend reserving ahead of time because it's certainly not a secret. LOL

We ordered the Creamy Burrata, with Grilled Bread and four cheese sauce and the calamari for the appitizers. All of the appetizers were amazing and Im a sucker for grilled crushy bread. For the main course i ordered the Trout Piccata. The fish was cooked to perfection and the veggies were well seasoned. My friends ordered the chicken piccata, Caruso Alfredo and baked Cavatelli. Everything was good. Next up we ordered the butterfinger sundae, Nutella cannoli and tiramisu. The sundae base is chocolate ice cream. If you are fan of chocolate ice cream you will love the sundae. Overall great experience and I will definitely return!

Found it to be a bit louder than I would've liked but I think it was because of the spacing between tables. Came toward the end of the night and got seated and welcomed right away. I ordered the polpette, meatballs to start. They were quite tasty, but the sauce was a bit watery. Think that's just because the meatballs themselves were pretty juicy. Heard the focaccia was a hit, so asked for some of that. I was told they didn't have any left. Which was weird, because then another server came and asked if I wanted bread. I'm glad I said yes because the focaccia is very fresh and was a great addition to the meal. For my main, I ordered the vodka pasta, which was very flavorful and very saucy. I love a good, thick vodka sauce and that's what you'll get here. The one part of the pasta I didn't really enjoy was the chicken inside the pasta. I think I would've preferred a grilled chicken option instead of the chicken that comes in the pasta. That being said, this place is a gem. The prices are great and the portions are hearty. The pasta is thick, you're really coming here for fresh noodles and ingredients. If you want to top your meal off just right, you'll get the chocolate lava cake. Very delicious! Service was good and staff was very attentive!

The Drunken love with pepperoni and vodka sauce was to die for. Their pizza is like a mix between NY style and Neapolitan. The crust is crispy and puffy. It took a lot of will power to not eat the whole thing. The pastas fell a little short for us. The alfredo was just ok- not the best flavor. And the pesto was really soupy and a huge portion. Definitely, more Italian American than traditional Italian. We wrapped up the dinner with a cannoli brownie. A fun take on the classic Italian dessert. Overall, a delicious meal! We will be back for pizza FOR SURE.

She was laughing with excitement throughout dinner because her soda kept getting refilled so quickly. It might seem like such a small thing, but it genuinely made her so happy, and seeing her enjoy herself that much made the night even more special for all of us. Sebastian also noticed when I accidentally got something on my clothes and immediately brought me stain remover without me even having to ask.
