A Menu That Feels Like Home
Our kitchen sticks to the basics, and that’s a good thing. We make pasta the old-school way — rich sauces, good noodles, and plenty to go around. Our salads are simple and fresh, with crisp greens and bold dressings that don’t try too hard. From hearty lasagna to creamy Alfredo, we focus on what matters: honest food that’s worth your time. And don’t worry, there’s more than pasta. We’ve got favorites from all across Italy, each one made with care and consistency.

Our full bar is one of the reasons people love coming in — we serve well-made cocktails that go great with your meal. If you’re stopping by after work or before a night out, our happy hour offers solid deals on both food and drinks. You can enjoy your favorite pasta or salad with a cold drink on our patio, or get comfortable inside with a glass of wine in hand. It’s casual, but with a bit of polish — just the right mix for any night of the week.

Great service from Nichole! Holy cow. Didn’t know what to expect in such a small town but loved every minute of it. Every member of the staff was gracious and kind. Atmosphere was energetic.Food was amazing! Huge portions and I couldn’t finish. Had the tour of Italy. 5/5. Toasted ravioli. Salad was great and they know how to make an Arnold Palmer! I’ll for sure be coming back next time I’m passing through.
WOW! 🤩That about sums it up! From the service, to the guidance on what to order, the flavor of the meals, and the beautiful plating! The head chef Tyler helped us pick out our menu items, gave amazing recommendations as to what we would like based on our tastes, and even encouraged us to try a few new things!My hubby and I have our favorite new spot to eat at!!Hands down best restaurant in Topeka!!
Great food and atmosphere. Staff was extremely helpful and assisted with menu questions relating to my food intolerances.Paisano's has been my favorite restaurant in Topeka ever since visiting when I was a little kid. I always loved the atmosphere and food. My food options are limited now due to intolerances, but the staff helped me find my new favorite!Definitely try the Creamy Pesto sauce if you are like me and can't eat red sauces or spices. Very mild sauce that did not give me any issues. Breadsticks are amazing as well.
