Reviews for PAESE Ristorante in North York, ON
Nice patio, but I ordered the cheese pizza and it was covered in oil with a very thin crust to balance it. The oil made me feel... nauseous, and it was expensive for what it was. Read more
Everything on the menu.....top notch and sinfully delicious. Thank you for the great evening! My family sincerely enjoyed it.... Service, quantity and quality of food perfect! Will be back again. Be sure to try the oyster mushroom fritti. Polentfries withsundried tomato ketchup. Pera pizza with gorgonzola, and spicy Maple syrup. Veal scallopini. Spaghettini with Gamberi. Gnocchiwith pancetta, mushrooms, squash and mascarpone cream. Just a few of their creative and delicious dishes! Read more
Nice restaurant! The mushroom calamari is surprisingly good. Ravioli is also amazing!
Had an awesome meal here on a quiet weeknight. We sample a number of appetizers including octopus, burata, and fried mushrooms.... All were excellent. For mains we ordered a gnocchi, seafood pasta, calf liver, mushroom pizza, and a fish entree. Everyone lovedtheir food. Finished off with a few desserts. The waiter was super friendly and attentive. He even got a special drink made forthe kids. This was our first time here, but it will certainly not be the last. We left quiet satisfied with the service and thegreat food. Read more

And if you also like hearty Italian cooking, Paese has also got you covered – just fresh ingredients presented simply and... without fuss. Their creamy buratta ($23) arrives on top of a bed of vibrant ripe tomatoes that make a great salad. The pool ofolive oil is jazzed up a bit of pesto and is really all the flavouring the appetizer needs. When having meatballs as a starter,I want them nice and large. The size of tennis balls, the menu describes polpette di manzo ($16) as being made from ground beef,but it’s surprisingly delicate for beef. Sitting in a lovely tomato sauce, it pairs so nicely with the complimentary saltyoily focaccia. I had doubts when I first laid eyes on the thick crust on the parmigiana ($22) pizza – did I make the wrongchoice? The crust is deceiving as once I bit into it, it is surprisingly light and airy, and nicely toasted on the bottom. Thismain combines my love for eggplant parmigiana and pizza and Paese doesn’t skimp on eggplant or cheese. While they augmentflavours with basil, chili, and oregano; I would have liked more salt to seep into the neutral eggplant and dough as the tomatosauce isn’t applied as liberally, rightfully so, on the pizza versus the traditional dish. Overall, Paese makes some goodsauce – not too acidic and fresh tasting. Interestingly, their bolognese di tacchino ($25) incorporates turkey instead of thetraditional beef, pork, and/or pancetta mixture, which makes it taste lighter. So even though it arrives as a huge plate, themen at our table were able to get through the entire dish. This would have been even better if there was some chili sauce throwninto the mix. Read more
Came here for lunch on their patio and had a great experience. Reserved online so getting a table was easy. The patio was super... cute albeit hot as there were no fans around. Our server was amazing. He was super courteous and replenished our water like achamp. It’s like he had level sensors on our cups and knew exactly when to fill our water. The food was tasty and I liked howthey had a more affordable lunch menu. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars rather than 5 was because I wish they had a bitmore menu options. Read more
