Paisan's - Greshamville

I really wish I liked this place. Great location, fun atmosphere and has the potential to be great. I was really hoping to like the food here but it was bad. I got the mushroom spaghetti and it tasted like they mixed watered down Ragu and a can of 89¢ mushrooms together and dumped it on cold spaghetti noodles. I also had their cheesy bread which was quite literally a piece of sandwich bread that still had sesame seeds on it. I really wanted to like this place but it was not good and I hope they hire a chef soon because I want to see the place thrive.

We had a group of 12 friends and family in town for a gathering and they were able to accommodate us on a busy Friday night with a much shorter wait than we were expecting.Food came out quickly, and was SO good!10 stars!

We haven't been here in awhile. We're only in Madison for football weekends. The thin crust pizza was delicious. That ambiance is warm. We definitely will be back.

A traditional Italian restaurant with scenic views of the lake and subpar, overpriced food.The service was good and the restaurant has clean, old school decor. In addition, the views are fantastic if you 're sat by the lake.Unfortunately their food is a massive dissapointment. For $16 you can have spaghetti and meatballs but the sause is generic and flavorless. In addition the pasta was drenched in the sauce (see picture) and it failed to properly coat the pasta when taking a bite. Seems they didn 't finish the pasta in the sauce or reduce the sause from whatever jar.My friends had the alfredo dishes and they lacked in flavor also. They asked our waiter for salt and pepper to add to the dish.In addition, the pasta on the menu is labeled fresh pasta but when I asked our waitress she informed me the pasta wasn 't actually fresh, but standard dried pasta. So don 't let the menu fool you.Overall, beautiful menu, but poor quality food. When you take the price into consideration, the value of the restaurant rapidly diminishes.

Paisans food is my happy place. My childhood was tough but when we went to Paisans back at university square it was one of the few places my family got along. It’s was always going to be a good day when we got to eat at Paisans. Now in my 30s I still get warm happy feelings. I love Paisans
