As someone who seldom misses a meal — check out the photo on the front page of this blog for evidence — I am lucky to live in South Milwaukee.
The reason: Our city is full of great restaurants.
You can add another one to the list: Paisano’s. The restaurant opened earlier this month at 113 North Chicago Avenue.
Our party of six (me, my wife, in-laws and two children) had a first-class dining experience at Paisano’s for lunch on Sunday. Among my impressions:
- The new owners put a lot of money into the interior. It looks bright, clean and vibrant, inviting from the moment you walk in the door.
- The service was fantastic. It almost seemed like the resturant was overstaffed with servers — always a good problem to have. And they were friendly, and responsive.
- And the food? It was quite good, from my spaghetti and meaballs to the French dip sandwich my wife ordered to the smothered chicken my mother-in-law enjoyed. The breakfast items the others in our group ordered were also tasty.
- The portions were huge, and the prices were very reasonable.
In other words, great atmosphere, service, food and value. Paisano’s is a winner.
With that in mind, I’d like hear what your favorite South Milwaukee restaurants are … and why. Post your comments below.
