Paisano's Italian - Isleta Pueblo

Yet another exceptional experience at Paisanos! This past Friday, 5/10, my group of 11 friends and I descended upon the restaurant for a special occasion my husband's 40th birthday staycation. Despite the heads up about being short staffed when I called earlier in the day to secure a table, we were undeterred. We've always hyped up Paisanos to our friends, and this visit proved why it's our go to spot.Quinn, our server, deserves a special mention for his outstanding service. He managed our rowdy group with grace and charm, ensuring everyone felt attended to and remembered everyone's orders flawlessly. Despite our numerous requests and multiple bottles of wine, Quinn remained attentive and kept the atmosphere light with his jokes and friendly banter.Now, onto the food where do I even begin? As someone with a gluten allergy, dining out can sometimes be a challenge, but Paisanos exceeded all expectations. From the appetizers to the entrees and desserts, every dish was a culinary delight. The white lasagna special was an absolute standout, leaving us all craving more.Not a single person in our group had any complaints a testament to both the quality of the food and the exceptional service we received. We left a generous tip as a token of our appreciation, knowing it was well deserved.As I look forward to my own birthday next month, I can't help but anticipate returning to Paisanos for another memorable dining experience. Without a doubt, Paisanos remains the crown jewel of Italian restaurants in the state, and we can't wait to visit again soon! Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free

Absolutely fantastic experience. We had a larger party for a friend's 40th birthday the service was amazing and the food was delicious. They were a little short staffed but we honestly couldn't even tell with how fast everything came together. I highly recommend Paisano's

Overall, disappointing. Went there primarily because of gluten free options. Food was subpar.

Always great entrees here! The best calamari in town... Many gluten free options. That said, the Italian wedding cake was not very good.

A hint of yesteryear. I can picture my family coming here for celebrations if we lived in Albuquerque. The outside is not exciting but the indoor decor sets the atmosphere for a great meal. Paisano's is a small restaurant that is set up nicely so it doesn't feel crowded. The fresh homemade pasta was wonderful as was the tiramisu which is made fresh each morning. I would recommend a stop and enjoy stepping back into what restaurants used to be and still can be Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options.
