I have eaten at this restaurant for years. The quality of the food seems to have gone down hill and the service is not "top notch" like it used to be. Somewhat disappointed since it was always a go to place away from the hustle and bustle of Wanamaker and all the chain restaurants.

I have visited this restaurant at lunch time and also at dinner time. There is a lunch specific menu and can be had for 1/2 price if ordered between 11 AM (opening) and 11:30. The dinner menu has more variety and the specials are good.

Nice restaurant- food was okay, just a little pricey for the money. Get for a small party, but not for large family outing.

Hubby and I took our teen here for dinner as a treat. We arrived around 6:30 pm and got a table, but there was a wait after us and it appeared that all the tables were full. Our hostess had a tough time getting us to our table since the restaurant was so full. Our waitress came w drinks immediately... More

We have been eating here for years. Consistently receive quality service and have never had a disappointing meal. Generous salad and breadsticks with every meal. Numerous choices on the menu; our favorites are the Pesce Vino Bianco, Taste of Italy, and Penne Pasta with Tomato Vodka Cream. The upscale yet relaxed atmosphere makes this a perfect place to celebrate special... More

Good service. Friendly attentive staff. Big menu. Both the food and the experience felt like it was from the 1970s. Great salad, breadsticks and wine. Tasted two entrees that I'd call good--but not spectactular. Try it if you're in Topeka with a hankering for Italian food.

Good place to eat with a cozy atmosphere. Nice change from going to Olive Garden. The bread sticks are even better!

This is the second time we stopped here on our way through Kansas and it is just as good as the first time. We sat at the bar and had our meal with drinks. The General manager Wes Wherrell was wonderful as was the conversation. Get off the main strip from I-70 hotels and go have a good meal.

I came to Paisano's on a Saturday afternoon when I found out that Chez Yasu's was closed on weekend afternoons. The setting is quaint for Topeka, the service was good, but the food was not my cup of tea. It wasn't Italian. I had the soup (which totally lacked flavor) and Paisano's chicken. It sounded good good on the menu,... More
