Paesanos sits in the heart of Midtown's Handle District. For over 15 years, Paesanos has been delighting guests with great Italian and eclectic fare at affordable prices.

The bustling energy of the busy dining room and aromas of garlic and pizza baking in the brick oven are reminiscent of the urban dining spots in San Francisco's North Beach.

Going to Zocolo's is rapidly becoming a Holiday tradition. My latest visit just cemented this notion. The food, service, and ambience were great. And keep up the Happy Hour-it's a nice touch.

This was our first time dining at Brasserie du Monde and they did not disappoint. We shared a wide array of appetizers and salads as well as some of the specialty drinks. Everything was outstanding including the service. We will definitely make it there again.

Paragary's has been a family tradition for special occasions (as well as casual dining) because of their excellence for decades. Tonight was my father's 96th birthday, the first birthday without the 'love of his life' (mom, married almost 70 years passed in June). We went to celebrate both his birth and the many treasured times we shared. Our server was as sweet as can be, knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. Our food was outstanding and dad's special birthday desert delicious. We will continue to share our special times at Paragary's.
