Paesanos expanded from its beginnings as an Italian restaurant in the Alamo Heights neighborhood to include two other locations. The interior, characterized by beautifully decorated vaulted ceilings and elegant lighting fixtures, creates an atmosphere appropriate for casual outings and wedding receptions alike. Paesanos defines its food as classic Italian favorites with a contemporary Mediterranean twist. Regular patrons know that if you can only order one dish, it should be the Shrimp Paesano, an over sized pasta dish of shrimp drenched in a lemon garlic sauce. In addition to a variety of pizzas, other dishes include veal Marsala and poached salmon with mushrooms.
Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily.
"Local restaurant tycoon Joe Cosniac has long served his brand of Italian with an attitude, and at four decades-plus, his Paesano's remains hip, happening (especially during late-afternoon see-and-be-seen sessions) and noisy."
