Paisano's

So the trick to enjoying Paisano's in winter is to go at a very early time for late lunch or early dinner, to avoid the noise level when it's full. On the other hand, when our table of 5 is the only one in a room, the absence of atmosphere in any of the newer rooms is glaring. I chose a pear and feta ravioli which was lighter than most dishes ordered, with a complex sauce just this side of too sweet. Only one type of gluten-free pasta was available, disappointing. If Paisano's once had charm, it traded it for larger capacity and noise at a level that prevents conversation. Think I'll return only to have lunch on the patio in summer.

Food quality was great but was a bit pricey for our group of 6. Portions were filling and they are able to accommodate gluten free substitutions. Service was outstanding. The restaurant itself can feel a bit cramped when dining indoors. I believe they have outdoor seating as well.
