Editorial Review for Paesanos – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
The sleek setting for the affluent Alamo Heights clientele includes amber lights and dark wood tables. Large windows and the glass-enclosed patio pull in sunlight for the lunch crowd. The hearty Italian and Mediterranean menu includes the calamari gigantissmo, meaty portions of squid served with a spicy marinara sauce. Or whet your appetite with the vegetable ravioli in a rich pesto cream sauce. House favorite is the shrimp Paesano, pasta and shrimp bathed in lemon and garlic.

This Paesano's definately tops my list of the best places to eat in San Antonio. The Shrimp Paesano, the Orange Roughy and the Smoked Salmon are to die for! The bread you are served before your meal is fabulous, too! The place is decorated very nicely, it is dimly lit and very romantic. The only drawback is the service is pretty bad sometimes, especially the hostesses! They are always very rude!
Pros: Food, location, decorated nicely
Cons: service

We went there on our 32nd anniversary. The place was packed but we were seated immediately. Our server suggested popcorn shrimp for an appetizer. Was not on the menu. Not a big popcorn shrimp fan but this was heavenly. Light batter over tender shrimp with a fantastic dipping sauce. Might have been what they use on calamari. I ordered Shrimp Paesano and my husband had the tenderloin. Everything was absolutely wonderful and very flavorful. My dessert was a apple torte with caramel topping and my husband had the chocolate banana bread pudding. I don't know which was the best. Both were excellent. Our server was very helpful with off the menu items like the appetizers and desserts. We enjoyed everything immensely. Yes it was loud but we came for the food, not the conversation!
Pros: Excellent food, service
Cons: Too loud for a lot of conversation
