I look forward to eating here every time I am in town . I am so glad that I don't live here because I would eat here too frequently. My favorites Bolognese , Zawzeech, & Meatloaf Parmesan ". CA$H ONLY.

Jeff Gibbard

The United States has the best sandwiches of any country . Philly has the best sandwiches in the country . Paesanos has the best sandwiches in Philly. Ergo Paesanos has the best sandwiches in the world.

Philly Chese Steak is the best street food in the USA. Additionally, this is the best place you can eat it. Eat more and more when you have chance to get..

Sarah Stephens

Amazing sandwiches with really unique ingredient combos. The Gustaio with home-made lamb sausage and red sun-dried cherries on mint crispy flatbread was phenomenal. Can really recommend this place !!

Stacy Bo Bacy

Incredible food! Huge portions and ingredients are flavorful and fresh. Only fault I can find is that I can’t eat all my meals here.

Sandra Rubinchik

Ditch work for an hour on a Friday afternoon and come in for a quick lunch . Order the meatball bosciaola sandwich , sit down, and enjoy. (Bring your laptop with you just in case.)

Amanda Shulman

The most epic sandwiches ever. Like ever. My favorite is the Bolognese , a fried lasagna (yes this is real) sandwich . Also check out the Paesano, the Arista , the Daddy Wad, and the veggie sandwiches .

Richie Stark

The namesake and arista are both incredible. Pretty much can't go wrong here. And there's a pretty good sandwich with fried lasagna in it.

Travel + Leisure

The Bolognese , which layers fried lasagna with red sauce , smoked mozzarella , roasted peppers , sharp provolone , and a sunny-side-up egg , will make you forget all about those touristy cheesesteaks .

Brendan Rastetter

This is where you'll find my favorite roast pork sandwich , the Arista w/ broccoli rabe , long hots and sharp provolone . It may be sacrilege to say, but this beats out DiNic's for me.

Philly.com

More than just sandwiches here.. try the Tuscan Tony hot dog – Sopressata wrapped all-beef dog with Bolognese , sharp provolone and Italian long hots. Read more

Philadelphia Magazine

Anthony Bourdain stopped by Paesano's while in Philadelphia filming for his show The Layover. He and his crew tried four sandwiches : The Liveracce , the Gustaio , the Arista , and the Paesano.

Men's Health Mag

Go for the roasted suckling pig , provolone , and broccoli rabe in the "Arista ". For an Italian cold-cut, go for the "Daddy Wad," packed with mortadella , salami , sopresatta, cappacolla and prosciutto .

Brad Graham

1of2 Try one of Peter McAndrews’ famous sandwiches . Arista , Paesano, Gustaio . Their potatoes are roasted in duck fat and are smothered in provolone cheese . OMG.

Visit Philly

Paesano’s sandwich shop is decidedly new-school thanks to chef Peter McNamara’s flourish: The Tuna Italiana throws herb-cheddar spread, hard-cooked egg , roasted tomatoes , arugula & chips into the mix.

Lance Lacoff

One of philly's best sandwich spots - treat yourself to the bolognese or the paesano. Can't really go wrong here

Visit Philly

Another favorite: Daddy Wad marries mortadella with pistachios , genoa salami , sopressata , capicola , prosciutto and sharp provolone with arugula , tomatoes , onions and sweet and hot peppers .

Eater

Order the Paesano, the Arista , or the Bolognese . Take out-of-towners here to blow their minds. [Eater 38 Member]

The Feast

Chef McAndrews sandwich spot has become one of the biggest destination spots for food tourists . We love the Bolognese , a piece of lasagna and a fried egg on a Sarcone's seeded roll. Read more

Klevis Prifti

One the best sandwich shops in the Italian market in south Philly. There crispy meatloaf Parmesan sandwich is out of this world.

Phil Katz

Best sandwiches on the planet. Just thinking about the diavolo sends my heart a flutter.

GourmetLive

Think Slow Food in Italian Nonna’s kitchen with loud Irish roots...Crazy-delicious combos like the pulled roast suckling pig with broccoli rabe , Italian longhots and sharp provolone .

34th Street Magazine

These sandwiches put the cheesesteak to shame. Get the Arista with roast suckling pig and wash it down with a root beer .

Philadelphia Magazine

The Bolognese Sandwich is a must try. The homemade lasagna is battered and fried—fried!—then topped with all of the above. And an egg , if you’re really brave. Read more

Mark Slobbe

Diavolo sandwich was the best sandwich I’ve ever had

Lauren Stephenson

Best Gluten free Hoagie by far! Try the Tuna Italiano no cheese . ????

Katrina Arey (Croswell)

The paesano is a thing of beauty- messy but beautiful. Perhaps my favorite sandwich in Philadelphia

Bill Martella

Pork sandwich was dynamite. Brisket pretty good too, would benefit from a thicker cut. Mmmmm

Bob Bentz

Had the classic Arista . Delicious despite Mets fans in the building.

Barrett Lane

You could easily split one of these enormous filling sandwiches ...but why? Get the Paesano.

Aaron Williams

The liveracce sandwich is so damn good. You'll be doing yourself an injustice if you didn't.

Raj S.

RC Cola on tap. Instant classic. Get the Liveracce or the classic Paesano. Seriously impressive.

Brad Graham

The Arista - "whole roast suckling pig with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone !. Need I say more?

Chris Wallace

Unbelievably good! Try the lamb sausage , cherry , fennel , gargonzola sandwich and have your mind blown

Nothing on the liverrace sounds like it goes together until you taste it. Possibly the best sandwich I've ever eaten.

Gab Bonghi

Favorite hoagie in town . Don't even bother anywhere else.

Frank Aloise Jr

Awesome pork and broc rabe

Philadelphia Magazine

Great Sandwicherie! Try the new lasagna-and-fried-egg sandwich , the Bolognese . Read more

Sarah Rivera

They are cash-only now due to increasing price of credit card fees.

Joe Ulrich
