    The directions from open table was not exactly correct. Found us on the wrong side of the river walk. A quick call to restaurant helped to locate. The waitress was interesting, the bread and oil came after our meal was delivered to the table and I had asked for it. The receipt was incorrect. Since we asked for a printed copy, we were able to have it corrected. Was not given the opportunity to change the tip. Our dishes were very good, despite the operational challenges

    Unfortunately we cannot give the food or service at this restaurant the highest marks. The service was slow, the salad was completely overdressed and the meatball was anemic.

    Have always loved going to Spano‘s just had a terrible waiter. Had to rely on other people to take care of us. Food is always fabulous.

    Celebrated our 15 year anniversary and noted our reservation. They sat us on the Riverwalk, great people watching. Food was SPECTACULAR. I have been to the other locations and it is always good, but I didn't have high expectations given the tourist trap that is the Riverwalk. Everything from the Caesar salad, to the Snapper Paesano (I will get this every time from now on) to the scallops/shrimp/lobster plate my husband had, was perfect. They treated us to a complimentary dessert to celebrate. Phenomenal service at table. All around, one of the best meals we've had in a long time.

    Covered outdoor seating. Breezy location but not cold. Table spacing was decent. We didn’t feel cramped. Our server was professional and well versed on the menu. We ordered the special that included their specialty, Shrimp Paesano, Scallop Paesano AND Lobster Paesano. Served with lemon buttered pasta/spaghetti noodles. We ADDED a side of sautéed spinach. We sent the lobster back as it was cooked perfectly but OVER salted. They remade it without seasoning and it was perfect. This dish feeds 2 adults well.

    We were a large group with a wide range of ages present. Paesanos was the perfect option. Great food, plus they were very accommodating in the way they accommodated various dietary restrictions and food allergies. Warm, friendly server that patient with the kiddos and was on top of every single modification we requested.
