Paisano's Restaurant

Ordered stuffed pizza ahead! This taco stuffed pizza was great! The garlic bread was a hit for an appetisers. There are pastas and salads also available! Staff was very attentive to our needs! Recommend!

A small family owned restaurant with great food. Had the thin crust pizza. It was crisp. Sausage had great flavor. All the ingredients were fresh. 11-5-25. Really enjoy their sauce and the crispy crust. Service has been great both times. Prices are pretty much the norm, but deals on Monday and Wednesday. Wish they had better/up to date choices for wine and beer.

Great spot, great food at reasonable prices! Ribs, lasagna, spaghetti and more. Owner is very nice and staff very welcoming. Dining in space is limited, parking is sometimes difficult, but overall great restaurant.

My first time trying this place,as anything in lockport is crap. Maybe cuz Im used to the pizza places in the city. The pizza was salty and the ribs as if they were sitting under a heat lamp for hours. I carried out. The dining area was quite quaint. Loved the booths. I will give them another shot for a dine in for a pasta dish in the future.

Intimate Italian restaurant perfect for couples, families, or friends to dine and experience fresh pasta, pizza, or other fine dinner selections. Several booths are available for romantic dinners with your special someone as you enter the dining area. Plenty of tables also share space within this longstanding Italian restaurant. Food is delicious. Service is spot on. Pizza specials on Monday and Wednesday.

Great atmosphere! Was excited to try the pizza but didn't find it one of my favorites. I prefer a crispy or thin crust and thicker pepperonis.

Delicious little hidden gem. Good Italian food. Everything seems homemade!

ORDERED their Wednesday pizza special 2 topping large. Crust is dry almost burnt and toppings are very chewy like rubbery. NOT a fan. Won't be going back.

Awesome from start to finish! Staff was nice food was awesome. Nice ambiance, everyone seems to work as a team. Great job!

Third time we placed an order for pick up. they can't get it straight Talked to manager Shelley about screwed up order last week..was excuse it was a new girl who messed up the order We order 3 combo beef sandwiches frequently - With cheese, sauce and fries, got no fries the last visit, one time no sauce, today no mozzarella. They even read the order back to you on the phone. Also One stinking sliver size green pepper per whole sandwich . 3 sandwiches for 60.00. Bad service Big rip offf if you look forward to eating what you want for dinner Check and open up your order before you leave or you will be surprised and disappointed.

I've been going to this place since I was a kid and it is always consistently good. Food is really good, service is great, and the ambience is very relaxing. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Very greasy food. The Parmesan bites are extremely oily and the pizza is not the best. Staff are often impatient and short tempered. Not sure if I would order again

Nice hidden gem pizza restaurant in New Lenox!Lived here a long time and didn't know about this pizza joint. It's in a strip plaza off 30 and you can miss it real easily and if not looking for it. Has real good reviews on Yelp. Service was great and we had Hannah as our server. We heard the Paisano nuggets were good so we tried them and they were deep fried dough with Parmesan severed with marinara sauce. A little too crispy for our taste; we like them doughy! Pizza was really good ; had a taco pizza - thin crust. The only downfall is that we sat in a booth right by the entrance and felt the cold breeze from the door and all the people were standing by our table waiting to be seated.

Our favorite place to dine in New Lenox since we moved here in 2019. They have watched our children grow and celebrate their birthdays here every year. The kids love the spaghetti and mostaccioli. My wife leans towards the baked mostaccioli or the ribs with a glass of sangria. She and our daughter always get a side salad with what they call the best Ranch dressing around. I'm a creature of habit and cycle through the Italian beef with AU jus, chicken parm (sandwich or pasta plate) or the 10in pan pizza. Love to have leftovers. On Mon & Wed, the 2 topping pizza special, my wife and I get a tomato and spinach pizza.

THE. BEST. Jakes easy olives with fries, blue cheese dressing!! Every time. Best people and atmosphere you could ask for. Shelly is a doll.

Raviolis were so good!! Love the ambiance and feel of a real italian restaurant. You get so much food for the money.

Pizza was pretty good. Solid Chicago style (not talking deep dish, but the real Chicago style). The environment was awesome and would be a great place for a meeting, the family, or a date. When you step inside it feels like you're transported to another place. The staff was super nice and helped us figure out exactly what we needed.

Nice interior, different surroundings, BUT Terrible pizza! the crust was like wet paper, the cheese with lots of fat and the outcome in the waste !

The food and service is great! I love their ribs too! The ambience is quite nice. A really nice place to eat. Try it out and you'll be amazed!

Paisano's is our "go to" for a nice dinner, consistently delicious food, and at a reasonable price which is difficult to find right now. A New Lenox gem for sure!

My husband and I have been here several times. You never go away hungry. It's not a very big restaurant so don't go during peak hours. The food is fabulous! We've tried the Fettuccine, Ravioli, Pizza, ... and it's always been delicious. The staff are always friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend this place.

My favorite restaurant in NL. You must try the ribs! The meat slides off the bone and the sauce is incredible. If I was on death row I would pick this as my last meal and I'm not exaggerating.

The food is fantastic & the service excellent! Never had a problem or was disappointed in whatever we ordered! Our favorite place to enjoy an Italian meal!!

whats happened, paisanos? ordered an eggplant parm sandwich since ive had the eggplant parm before and liked it. picked up the sandwich served on a hamburger bun, about half covered in parmesean, a third covered in red sauce and 2 layers of eggplant. pathetic. wife says spagetti is overcooked and mostacciolii is off. a lean cuisine would have been better and cheaper. dining out (carryout) is supposed to be about eating things you cant make at home and everything was subpar, cold and expensive. joeys or AJs would have been better for less. live around the corner and try to support local places but it will be hard to come back to paisanos anytime soon.

My mom and I stopped by yesterday to have dinner here. Their dining area consists of several tables and a few raised booths. It is dimly lit and clean. We decided to get the special which was baked mostaccioli for $14.95 on Mondays and comes with bread, soup, and salad. The bread was fresh, hot and so delicious! We ordered cream of chicken soup and it had a thin consistency to it. I wasn't very impressed. The salad was good. Then came the baked mostaccioli with cheese and marinara sauce. The sauce was too sweet for us. I thought there would be cheese baked on top but it was underneath the noodles and sauce. It was just okay. I ordered a meatball sandwich to go and my husband loved the meatballs and bread, but was not a fan of the marinara sauce either. He said it was way too sweet. The service was great and prices were okay. The portion sizes are decent and the food quality itself is average. We're just not a huge fan of the sauce they make.

The place doesn't look like it's been remodeled since the 70s but the food is good! Delicious eggplant parm, fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti, etc. Friendly service too.​

I got two pizzas for carry out. While the staff was very friendly and efficient in getting my order I found while the pizzas were hot and fresh the pizzas were lacking in flavor. There was very little sauce on either of them as one was thin crust and the other their thicker one. There we something missing as the flavored were off and ended up throwing most away. Very disappointed as I was wanting to like this place.

Hannah is the best waitress!! So funny, friendly and an outstanding waitress. We had the 16 inch sausage pizza, Paisano's nuggets and cannoli! The nuggets I didn't get a pic of but they were bread bites with butter garlic and parmesan.

Excellent food. Everything we have had. Fettuccine, Lasagna, olio pasta and the shrimp scampi!

We have ordered out and ate in restaurant. Both experiences have been great. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced.

Our whole family loves eating and ordering out at Paisano's. It's like eating homemade food without the work and cleanup. My husband love the chicken parmigiana. My daughters and I love the gnocchi and tortellini. And don't forget the cheesy garlic bread and tiramisu!

Food was good, service was great and the ambiance was nice. Definitely worth it. I will be definitely going back.

The best restaurant in New Lenox. Cool old school atmosphere, amazing food and service. My favorites are the spinach lasagna and baked mostaciolli.

Great local, family-owned place. Pizza is delish - usually Get the sausage thin crust, nice sauce, perfect Crust! Their fried shrimp and French fries are great - and the bread that comes with is always yummy! Staff is friendly and gets the orders right. And right now during Covid they have a drive up pick up! Just drive up and they'll bring your food out to you! Great service! Check them out!

Doesn't really look like much on the upside, and the inside looks like it's still 1995 but it works. Not a very large place, and I would encourage making a reservation if it's the weekend. I have been here about 8 times now since I moved to town, and I've been elated every time. Portion sizes are great, and everything's always been awesome minus onion rings last time, but...whatever. Paisanos nuggets are a 10/10 appetizer, as is the cheesy garlic bread. Scampi ala Joe is also incredible, just be aware there's a lot of butter. Have not ordered pizza from here yet, but that's next up. Love this place so far.

WOW!! To think that this hidden gem has been here since 1968 and we just discovered it now... We had the cream of broccoli soup, which was very good. I had the chicken parmesan special, which came with the soup AND salad! I tried their house dressing..sooooo good!an oil and vinegar blend. My husband had the spaghetti and sausage, which is a patty, no casing. Weird, but he liked the flavor. I tried their meatballs...not bad. I had the tiramisu and he had the spomoni..both were excellent. Looking forward to returning..

Good food. Clean place. Friendly service. Fast service. Limited seating due to covaid. The garlic bread is done correctly I will be back.

Best barbecue ribs in the area. Pizza is also very good. Great service and excellent employees. Plenty of free parking. Soup and salad served with the ribs and are excellent.

I've passed this restaurant many times over the years and finally stopped in tonight. 1/6/19. Wow, disappointment is perfect to describe this experience. I should have kept my $60. We ordered a 14 inch pizza with EXTRA sausage, spinach and mushroom. For one, the sausage wasn't extra. I didn't even have one piece of sausage on each piece!!! I actually asked the waitress if she forgot to put that in and she said " I put the double sausage in, I won't charge you for the extra ingredient. Would you like it remade?" I told her " that wouldn't make sense. If your toppings are scarce even after the request at my expense to have extra there is no point but thank you ". Man I wanted to like this pizza. The owner's pic is highly different from what I received. I also had a side of spaghetti and meatballs. The spaghetti and meatballs were ok. The pasta was a little over done but just before the point of being mushy. I liked the meatballs. They weren't dry like most places. The bread came out hot and fresh. The brownie sundae was decent but nothing to come back for. The service was great. The young lady taking care of us was wonderful and she is the reason for the three stars. My companion had the gnocchi but said he had better. The salad he had was just and iceberg salad with cucumber. The food is definitely a strong 2. The service wait service was great. I hope they improve because I would like to try them again.

Nasty food. Everything out of a jar, can or frozen. I wouldn't feed their pizza to my dog. Folks dining here sayings it's good are in the Miller Lite and Mac D's crowd. I'd eat McDs engineered food before I ate here again. Gross!

We ordered the combo appetizer, which was a real bargain. I ordered Eggplant Parmesan, my wife ordered a small pizza. The Eggplant Parmesan was delicious and a good size portion. My wife said her pizza was delicious. Nice thin crust. The service was excellent. As close to home as it is I'm surprised we haven't gone before. We will definitely be back.

From the moment we were seated I knew this was going to be good. Our waitress was very friendly and got us drinks quickly . She explained all the specials ,which included soup and salad. We had the chicken rice soup excellent!. Dinner also included bread butter and a cracker breadstick basket. We had the ribs and baked Mostaccioli both were fantastic. Mine included several choices of side I chose the spaghetti. We also had their homemade cheesecake, crepe brûlée outstanding we even to an extra slice home. I would highly recommend this establishment for a good meal. I'll be back. All of the cheesecakes are homemade and they have a variety of flavors.

I hate to be one of the bad reviews but dinner was not good. My wife, son and me went to eat, met wife ordered baked Mostaccioli, son orders Chicken fettuccine Alfredo, I ordered Chicken parmesan. Baked mostaccioli was fine. The fettuccine had to been microwaved because the Alfredo sauce separated (it was a pool of butter on the bottom of the plate). My Chicken was so hard I barely could cut it with a steak knife, It had to been microwaved also.( chicken of any kind should never be hard). Service was fine , except these smaller restaurants need to train their staff to recognize if a customer doesn't want a box for a full plate of food they didn't eat, maybe ask if there was something wrong with it. Prices are good for what you get.

Came here for the first time tonight. We ordered the cream of chicken soup, salads, paisanos nuggets, baked mostaccholi, and chicken broccoli Alfredo fettuccine. Everything was beyond delicious, but if you take anything from this review, please order the paisanonuggets. Phenomenal. Will definitely come back here 100 times over.

Ordered take out. Bland food. Got a large sausage and pepperoni pizza. Lucky to get one piece of sausage on each slice. It was greasy as could be and just not even worth the star I'm giving it. I ate half because I was starving and threw half of it in the garbage. Zucchini appetizer was fried from a freezer burned state and barely edible and also threw most of it in the garbage. The ranch dipping sauce was like water. The scampi was swimming in butter. The baked mostaccioli had no cheese baked on top. The salads were in small Styrofoam soup bowls. Just a real disappointment in every respect after spending $80. I have absolutely no desire to return after trying them out for this first time. I'm really surprised they're still in business.

Paisano's was excellent. This has a small, quaint and unique atmosphere open for dinner take out or dine in. We dined in and had the fettuccine. It was amazing, portions were very large, along with olive oil and bread to start off. Our waitress was so kind and patient and knowledgeable on the menu. The only thing I wanted to try was the tiramisu but the baker was taking some time off. This only means I'll be back to try it!! Highly recommend.

Is anything homemade or is it all frozen and microwaved. The soup is horrible must be out of a bag. Really bad food

Good pizza at a reasonable price. But once to stray away from the pizza, everything else on the menu is way overpriced. The kid menu prices are ridiculous.

Great pizza and decent Italian food. They've been around for quite some tim, so they are obviously doing something right. Service is always good.

Great staff really good pizza and breadsticks Cheese is like no other pizza place! Would recommend

Such a friendly environment. Waitress was so sweet! Delicious food to top off a great dinner! Love the intimate family setting

Friendly staff. Cool atmosphere. Really good garlic cheese bread but it didn't come with sauce. It didn't need it, I just thought dipping sauce was standard. Pan crust pizza was good. Lots of cheese, good crust, i would have preferred more sauce. Family friendly. An actual changing table in the restroom. Cozy, private booths and many tables for larger parties.

Easily the best restaurant in New Lenox.. From the Ribs, Lasagna & pastas.. Their scratch based kitchen & recipes are the foundation to their success. Shelly & Steve are great people who know how to take care of their costumers. Great food, atmosphere & service is what the standard here!

This is my first time ordering food for this restaurant. I ordered the spinach lasagna dinner. The bread wasn't baked fresh, it was cold like they took it out of the fridge. The salad was very small and it was presented in a soup bowl. The sauce for the lasagna was watery and poorly seasoned. The cheese was bland. The meal was also overpriced. For my fellow New Lenox residents to give this place 4+ stars is completely absurd. This is definitely a 1 star establishment.

I met a friend here last night that I haven't seen in about 25 years and since she lives in the neighborhood, she suggested we meet at Paisano's for dinner and conversation. She couldn't have picked a better spot. We arrived at almost the same time and from the moment we stepped through their double doors, I fell in love with this place. Looking around as our Hostess took us to our booth, I felt like I was in a Martin Scorsese movie. The dark, over sized booths that surrounded the room provided plenty of privacy (but were still spacious enough to sit comfortably) and the walls were lined with stained wooden wainscoting that provided a certain "warmth" that only an old, family run restaurant could provide. There were enough tables to comfortably occupy the floor of the room without congesting the traffic between them, too. To add to the wonderful ambiance of this experience, I couldn't help but notice the music playing in the background as well. "Someone to watch over me", "Mack the Knife" and "the Summerwind" were but a few tunes that filled the air with character. Our server was extremely kind and patient. As you may guess, my friend and I had about 25 years of "stuff" to catch up on and so we didn't really concentrate on ordering right away. Our waitress seemed aware of this and after the third or fourth time she came by, she'd told us to take our time and let her know when we were ready. We gratefully agreed and after that, she made sure to occasionally walk by our table without interrupting us, but still being accessible without hovering. Finally, we decided to order the thin crust sausage pizza and she was off to the kitchen to place our order. The pizza came out in record time. It was piping hot and delicious (I'm thinking of grabbing some of the leftovers as I write this!). When closing time came around, our server discretely slipped us the check and never rushed us to leave. I made sure to show our gratitude with a healthy tip. She'd more than earned it. 5 stars. If you appreciate the family run character in a restaurant, I think a visit to Paisano's will not disappoint. It's certainly well worth the trip.

Voted best pizza in New Lenox , there must not be any pizza places in town. Not cooked, sauce bland, rubber crust ...... garbage

Ordered a carry out spinach lasagna. It was bland with average sauce. It came with a tiny salad and some cold bread for $15. Will never go back again
