Paisano's Italian | Pechanga Resort Casino — Restaurant in California

I like the ambience OPEN kitchen feel. relaxing atmosphere. Maybe some music ?

Service 3 stars Had a waiter, who was..tooo much OVER THE TOP. It got to a point where I can't understand what he was saying just kept blabbing about stuff like he's in a hurry always and too energetic. The customer needs to feel relaxed to go with the relaxed atmosphere. There's a big DISCONNECT between this guy's energy and the relaxed atmosphere. You will know who I'm talking about.. LOLz.. And it's true what previous reviews says below. How the heck u guys hire this guy????

Food: 4 stars Pasta W/ Wagyu Meatballs- The Free bread was delicious with the garlic butter. To me, it needed to be a bit saltier, so I had to request for salt on the side. The pasta with wagyu meatballs, it had a lot of meat and a lot of sauce, not enough pasta imo. For me, I wish they'd give the meatball a crust to give it a bit of texture. So it wouldn't feel like mashed meat i'm eating.

Pizza: I wanted to try their Truffle Pizza but this waiter didn't hear me because kept babbling and ended up giving me a cheese pizza. To my preference, it felt like it was soggy. Crust texture was good but kinda soggy to my preference. Needed a bit of salt imo.

Atmosphere: 5 stars Nice relaxed setting. Dim. I like the open kitchen concept. Properly spaced out tables

Receipt I wish i could see a breakdown of what i ordered on the receipt. So i could tell the waiter "look you gave me a cheese pizza and not the truffle that i ordered" but i didn't have time to...

UPDATE - down graded to 3 - Star Review - Wow, what happened??? We were here just 10 months ago and everything was amazing! We went back this past weekend 7/20-7/21, and we were SOOO DISAPPOINTED!!!! We had the Mozzarella Appetizer. The sauce that came with it tasted like Ketchup, it was not good. I again had the Short Rib W/Three Cheese Ravioli. It did not look the same and absolutely did Not taste the same. If this is how they make it now, I will not have it again!! I'm attaching a photo. The next issue, our Waiter!!! He was so over the top EXTRA!!! It's fine to be Extra but, at least talk so we can understand you. He was talking so flamboyant & low that when we could hear him we had a hard time figuring out what the heck he was saying! Between the food being bad & him, we just wanted to be done with our meal & out of there! Unsure if we will be going back!!!

5-Stars review - We dined here to celebrate my birthday Sept 2023. It was so nice! For our Appetizer we ordered the Calamari, it was great but I wasn't a big fan of the cold tomatoish sauce that it was served with. For dinner we ordered the Short Rib with Three Cheese Ravioli. What a great dish! The flavors are layered & go together very nicely. I highly recommend this dish!!! Our Waitress, Nicole was great! She was very attentive & professional! My birthday Tiramisu was amazing. We...

This was the most pleasant experience dining, I’ve had in a long time at Pechanga, don’t get me wrong. I’ve had plenty of dinners at the Great Oak steakhouse, but I had probably one of the best steaks at Paisanos that I have ever had at Pechanga. Mary K, the server from heaven, assured me, that when I question her of buying a steak at an Italian restaurant that these cuts all came from the same butcher shop located at Pechanga, I decided I would roll the dice and had such a pleasant surprise, a smaller cut of a ribeye steak along with a wonderful Fettuccine Alfredo was such a pleasant experience that I will definitely go back there for my steaks. A great bottle of Chianti Classico Reserve was enjoyed by both my wife and myself, the evening was most enjoyable, lovely service from our server Mary K, For me, dining in a wonderful restaurant requires great wine, great food and great service, when any of these three are out of balance, it takes away from the totality of the experience, and that was not the case, in order for these three requirements to be in balance it takes a village, and it would be wrong of me not to give credit to both manager, chef, who, by the way, understands. Medium rare plus and of course the most delightful server Mary K. Red Card...
