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.
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..
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 !!
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.
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.)
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 .
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.
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 .
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.
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
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.
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 .
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.
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.
One of philly's best sandwich spots - treat yourself to the bolognese or the paesano. Can't really go wrong here
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 .
Order the Paesano, the Arista , or the Bolognese . Take out-of-towners here to blow their minds. [Eater 38 Member]
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
One the best sandwich shops in the Italian market in south Philly. There crispy meatloaf Parmesan sandwich is out of this world.
Best sandwiches on the planet. Just thinking about the diavolo sends my heart a flutter.
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 .
These sandwiches put the cheesesteak to shame. Get the Arista with roast suckling pig and wash it down with a root beer .
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
Diavolo sandwich was the best sandwich I’ve ever had
Best Gluten free Hoagie by far! Try the Tuna Italiano no cheese . ????
The paesano is a thing of beauty- messy but beautiful. Perhaps my favorite sandwich in Philadelphia
Pork sandwich was dynamite. Brisket pretty good too, would benefit from a thicker cut. Mmmmm
Had the classic Arista . Delicious despite Mets fans in the building.
You could easily split one of these enormous filling sandwiches ...but why? Get the Paesano.
The liveracce sandwich is so damn good. You'll be doing yourself an injustice if you didn't.
RC Cola on tap. Instant classic. Get the Liveracce or the classic Paesano. Seriously impressive.
1of2 Try one of Peter McAndrews’ famous sandwiches . Arista , Paesano, Gustaio .
Get the Giardina - for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike
The Arista - "whole roast suckling pig with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone !. Need I say more?
These are honestly some of the best sandwiches in town . And this is a sandwich town .
I would like to attempt to try every sandwich on the menu. So good!
don't get cute . get the Paesano. eat something healthy tomorrow.
Get the Paesano or the Bolognese . Both are rad.
Come hungry. Big sandwiches !
Fried lasagna sandwich . Died and gone to heaven.
The gustaio ! Bolognese .
Oh God. Deliciousness. Get anything. You'll love it.
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.
Favorite hoagie in town . Don't even bother anywhere else.
Awesome pork and broc rabe
Great Sandwicherie! Try the new lasagna-and-fried-egg sandwich , the Bolognese . Read more
They are cash-only now due to increasing price of credit card fees.
Try the daily specials . Just had one--Pasticcio. Check me out on Foodspotting for details.
Veggie protein wrap is delicious. Acai berry shake is tasty too. - Jeremy Hall
While they serve a solid roast pork, their cheesesteak is one of the best in Philly! - Behrad Eats
SALAD SANDWICH! Marinated beets; pickled veggies and apple; sweet, sweet lettuce; herby Boursin cheese (omg); and lemon poppy vinaigrette slathered all over. I’ve stopped ordering everything else. - Sandra Rubinchik
Nina's is awesome! We like to get many small plates and bring a couple of bottles. Definitely try the ricotta gnocchi and the grilled radicchio. - Amanda Feifer
Incredible selection of everything! Buy some roasted peppers, Spanish meat, fresh bread for a tapa treat! DBB is a must if you're in Philly. FYI: You WILL drop some cash here but it's so0000 worth it! - C Edwards
A south philly tradition. Get some Easter bread! The strawberry shortcake is beautiful and delicious. - RC
