We were greeted right away and was told to sit anywhere we wanted to. Josie was our waitress and…read morewas very friendly. She took our drinks and food order. Food came out really fast. Ordered the macchiato with almond milk. Comes in traditional size and they had it in a paper coffee cup. I would have liked it served in a coffee mug, since I drank it in the cafe with my breakfast. I had the chicken, Swiss, and avocado skillet. Came with 2 eggs, which I asked to be cooked over easy, and hash browns. Very delicious and avocado were fresh. Also, asked for hot sauce and they only offer Louisiana hot sauce. I was only able to eat half the skillet and took the rest home. My friend has celiac disease, so they made sure her order was GF.

I called ahead to check on their gluten-free options and was thrilled to hear they offer GF toast,…read moreGF hash browns, and skillets. We arrived around 10:15am on a Saturday and the vibe was immediately welcoming. The place is super cute, featuring a coffee bar where you can sit at the counter, a few cozy couches, and even a little craft display with items for sale. Because we got there just before the rush, we were able to sit anywhere we liked. They have an extensive drink menu, and I ordered a chai latte in a mug. It was absolutely huge, smelled incredible, and tasted great. When it came time to order, I informed our server about my gluten allergy. She was incredibly accommodating and reassured me that she would alert the kitchen to keep everything separate to avoid cross-contamination. I ordered a cheddar cheese omelette with hash browns, and the food came out incredibly fast. There was a minor hiccup where my omelette accidentally came out with ham in it, but it was large enough and easy enough to just pick out, so it didn't ruin the meal. The food was overall really delicious and the service was excellent. By the time we left, the place was completely packed, which clearly speaks to how popular it is. It was a really good experience with great GF awareness, and we will definitely be back!

Paisano's on Broadway occupies a unique--and important--place in Richmond's dining landscape…read more Credit where it's due: Phil and Karen Gilardi were instrumental in elevating the town beyond pure fast-food dependence. They recognized early that Richmond sits on a corridor of movement--Chicago flowing north toward Lake Geneva, that Midwestern analogue to the Riviera--and made a legitimate attempt to create a stop where people could sit down, slow down, and share a meal. I still remember my first visit, back when Paisano's had maybe five tables. I was seated next to none other than Dan Rostenkowski, then Speaker of the House. That moment captured something about the place: it aspired to be part of a broader, more connected world than Richmond typically experiences. The concept has always been clear--family-style, approachable Italian, positioned as a step above casual dining. And to their credit, they've maintained consistency over the years. That said, the food itself lands squarely in the "acceptable" category. Not offensive, not memorable--reliably mediocre. It satisfies the requirement of a meal without ever quite justifying a detour. Yet here's the reality: within a five-mile radius, Paisano's remains the only place where you can reasonably take someone on a sit-down date without apology. That alone gives it staying power. Paisano's isn't trying to be extraordinary--and it doesn't quite get there. But it filled a vacuum when it arrived, and in many ways, it still does.

The waiter who I believe to be an owner had said that they took it off the burner early. We carried on eating and feeding the baby veggies from the soup as we were very hungry and he assured us it was ok. A bit later in our meal, we overhear a conversation between the chef and our waiter that was disturbing. The chef asked him where he had gotten the soup and he responsponded that he got it from the tube on the counter... the chef responded back that the soup to serve was on the burner and that soup he served us was on the counter all day long. I assume it was never cooked at all and hear we are feeding our toddler. The man ignored this and carried on like we did not overhear this conversation, no apology aside from taking one soup off the bill when we said it was cold. He then sat to eat his own meal and sent the young server over to give the bill and lie to us that we misheard the conversation. A coward and a horrible business man. We will not be going back here again, it was great service years ago but this is sadly no longer the case.

At some point, they expanded the restaurant so it can easily handle over 150 people and I'm guessing anywhere is up to 180 people. Was very clean inside and appears that it had been painted not too long ago. Our waitress was Alaina. Hope I spelled, her name right. Very good waitress and made sure she took care of us. I had a few questions about the food on the menu and she had all the answers. I got what I think was called the sweet potato brisket skillet. My girlfriend had just eggs, toast, hashbrowns with bacon. She said the coffee was OK. She's a little fussy with the coffee so we've had a few places where it's been great. She says it's drinkable and she liked it. Good enough! They give you generous portions of food. The bacon was cooked crispy the way she likes it and the eggs were done perfectly. Hashbrowns taste fresh and good and never cooked perfectly. They under utilize salt, but there's probably a good reason for it and that's why you have salt at the table. The skillet I had, however, was real good! Generous portions of brisket and the sweet potatoes were cut strips and grilled and tender. It had chunks of green peppers which were grilled and you could tell they were fresh. Fresh grilled onions and chunks of tomatoes inside. It was loaded with cheese too. My eggs were done to perfection and I had the sourdough toast. Their sourdough toast is Home made style bread. I don't believe it's baked in the restaurant, but it was very good. Once again, very generous portions. The place is huge inside with plenty of elbow room. As for the price, their prices were average and in line with other places we've eaten breakfast in the area. The whole staff that is there greeted you at one point or the other. Very friendly staff. They are also open for lunch and dinner. The place is busy for breakfast so I'm guessing that they're Friday night fish fries probably pretty packed. I highly recommend Sammy's on the square.
