My favorite restaurant in the whole world! I've been eating there for as long as I can remember. Good is always excellent and the service is attentive. The atmosphere and location is beautiful

My wife and I have been going to Paisans for 53 years and have not had a Bad pizza yet. The only thing that has changed is their pizza pans and location. We have been to every location they moved to. Best pizza in the world.

Food was great, especially the pizza! The service was good, and there's an excellent view of Lake Monona. This is a place that actually makes going out to eat feel special!

Neat Italian restaurant. Has its own garage parking for a low cost so you don't have to use the terrace parking garage. Price is right. Great drinks.

The Host gave us the choice of three tables, all of which were dirty, and then we were not greeted by our server for at least 10 minutes. It took 5 minutes to get our drinks after we ordered, even though we were seated next to the drink station and there were maybe a total of 10 tables sat in the entire restaurant. Our server was very fake and would yell across the room at her tables rather than walk over to check on them. Once the food came it was delicious, but again when we were ready for boxes and the check our server was no where to be found. We had to again ask the host to help us, right after we watched them seat a party at a table covered in crumbs on the chair, table, and floor. Finally on the way out five employees were standing by the front talking to each other and none of them acknowledged us or offered to assist with getting our parking validated. My girlfriend has been going to this restaurant for 25+ years with her family and the service has never been this poor. I would not recommend this establishment if you want a clean environment or good service from any of the staff members.

I’m giving a 3 because I enjoyed the building, neat place for a restaurant. I was excited to try this place, but, sadly, I didn’t enjoy the food. We’ve been to some neat Italian restaurants in numerous towns, and we’ve had some great authentic Italian fair. So I was disappointed with my glob of mushy noodles under a mediocre piece of chicken topped with sauce that was just okay. I did hear that the pizza was good, but we didn’t go there to have pizza.

Truly not that impressive especially considering it is supposedly a favorite amongst so many locals! Service was decent. We went there for a late lunch and I ordered the spicy meatball sub off the lunch special. The meatballs were lukewarm at best and clearly not fresh made as the efforts to heat up the meatballs was pretty pathetic. I tried a slice of my husband's pizza and it was just ok, the pepperoni had a weird smoky taste to it. I paid $7.75 for a "glass" of Chianti that was maybe only 1/3 of the way full and I was not impressed with the flavor profile either. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to raise a stink but the whole time I kept thinking there are so many other Italian restaurants in Madison that are way better! Views are fine but hard to see the lake from where we were seated due to the row of bushes along the outside wall. I'm glad I gave it a try but probably will not go back.

I've been coming to Paisan's since I was a wee lass, probably two locations ago. Consistently has some of the best pizza in town (the "Super Hot" is perhaps my favorite pizza ever) and I love their porta salads as an appetizer (but go into the salad expecting something delicious and unhealthy). They will always bring you a basket of bread at the beginning of the meal - ask you're server for sourdough only (they typically bring a mix of French and sourdough breads, and the French simply isn't worth your time). Service is always great and the food is consistent. The current location also has a fabulous view! Love Paisan's and will always return!

The view is nice. The building is very cool. The food is bland and disappointing. Definitely not worth the money.

Ordered a Large Carry out Pizza and wanted it cut into squares for the kids to eat and when I picked it up and it was not cut correctly and Piasan's Manager Brett stepped in and owned the mistake with a apology. Brett quickly and generously fixed the issue with another new pizza cut correctly. The Pizzas were great and Thanks for taking care of everything. We will be back again !!

Their food is great. Their happy hour is better. Easily the best place downtown to day drink, if that's your thing. In the summer the view off of the back terrace is wonderful, as long as you plug your ears so you don't hear John Nolan.
