Paisano's Italian Kitchen - Rogue River

I was thrilled to find this Italian restaurant open on a Monday when many others were closed. It really satisfied my craving for pasta. The food was amazing, and I can be quite picky about meatballs, but they nailed it! Although the space may seem small, don’t be deceived; you can still have a complete Italian experience with delicious bread and a good selection of wines. There's even a small deli inside. The prices are fantastic too. If I didn’t live so far away, I would definitely dine here regularly whenever I’m in the area. Just a heads up, the restaurant shares its parking lot with a supermarket.

The restaurant is small and cozy, though it can get a bit noisy at times. We absolutely love the food; everything we've tried has been delicious, and the presentation is fantastic. If you enjoy Italian cuisine, this place is definitely a must-visit.

The food was outstanding. I've heard great things about this place for years, and I'm so glad we finally had the opportunity to give it a try.

The food is excellent, and the service is quite good as well. However, it seems like the management or owners—likely from the Bay Area or another big city—have adopted some questionable practices. They charge $3 just to split a plate of food, which feels excessive. It’s basically taking half of one plate's worth of food and moving it to another plate for a couple. This kind of charge seems unnecessary, especially for those of us who are trying to manage our budgets. I mean, this is Rogue River, not Portland!

The meatball sandwich lasagna was delicious, and the bread was just as amazing!
