Paisan's

The Manicotti is to die for !!! Try it with 1/2 Cheese & 1/2 Tomato Sauce . Get the Sour-dough Bread w/ Buttermilk Ranch for dipping & The Porta Salad - The Whole Meal is Delish!!!

The pizza is delicious, especially with the onions in the sauce. Get a table by the window for a great view of the lake !

Very generic. For a high rated restaurant I expected some unique plates or twists on recipes. All menu items were dishes I could easily make at home. Servers were nice. Overall 5/10 experience.

The Caesar salad and sourdough bread were great. The Porto salad was waaaay too heavy as a starter. Pasta was ok. View was great.

One of the best nightly happy hours in Madison . Get the Long Island Iced Tea (but have it made from scratch).

Great food amazing view awesome service! We will be back every time we make it to Madison!

IMHO, overpriced for what you get. The weather was bad so had to sit inside. Was with a large group in the party room , they had a meeting earlier in the day, even forgot to turn music on for us.

The best thing about this place is the patio overlooking Monona on a nice day — though no midday shade. The pizza is good, not great. And, service can be slow.

Excellent food. Their pizzas and sangrias are awesome

Would be so much better if there were more views to the window. Take down the walls of the private booths . Better in summer and sit outside. Not much of an appetizer choice. Bread , bread or bread .

Try the Ale Asylum Hopalicious - Hoppy, refreshing goodness, outdoor patio , warm sunny, day. Easiest recipe of the day.

Come in for happy hour 11am-7pm Sun-Fri

Try the Chocolate Nemesis for desert - A rich flowerless chocolate cake . It's amazing!!!

The meal didn’t live up to past visit; lack of flavor and the salad was just ok. The most enjoyable part of the meal was eating on the patio outside.

Great pizza and fantastic lake view on the patio .

One of the best pizza place in madison. Everything they have there is great.

Hands down the best happy hour in Madison (speaking from years of experience ;).

One of the great Italian Restaurants in Madison. Been enjoying Paisans for years. Food quality is excellent.

Vegie pesto with sausage pizza is an amazing choice

Awesome lake view . Food is incredible. ¦D

Great pizza as usual, expensive appetizers tho

Not the fastest service. Great view of the lake . Don't get the chicken sandwich . Was what I'd hoped. Pizza would be a better choice!!! When isn't it?!?

Nice assortment of outdoor seating . The sangria was just ok.

One of my favorite places.

Try the Bell's Brewery Oberon Wheat Ale - Great seasonal beer from #Bell's brewery

I recommend sitting outside so you don't notice that the food is just OK at best

Great patio . Beautiful lake view

Liked the atmosphere but the food tasted very processed.

great garibaldi

If its your birthday get a birthday shot: 151, Baileys, and chocolate liquor

They have a great patio with a nice view of the lake and underground parking .

Amazing food
