Paesanos Restaurant Group - (210) 828-5191

I ate the Eggplant Parmesan and it was awful! I was disappointed that an expensive restaurant would even have something like that on their menu. It was mostly bread and very thin layer of eggplant. You couldn't even taste any eggplant.

We read the reviews, and drove 45 miles to go to Paesanos. The bread, appetizers and salad we were served at the outset were wonderful. It went downhill from there. The Veal Osso Buco was drowning in a harsh tomato brew; the Veal Scallopini a la Francesca was a puzzling thing: Thin veal layer pounded to kingdom come. Thick, undercooked egg and flour coating reminiscent of an awful Chile relleno (can there be an awful chile relleno? They managed it.). Spumoni ice cream that wasn't. We'll go back for bread at their nearby bakery.

Paesano's has two locations in San Antonio. This is an absolutely awesome place. The food is wonderful; I especially like the Gamberi Paesano (shrimp). Their pastas are to die for. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Don't pass this restaurant up if you are in town.
