I look forward to eating here every time I am in town. I am so glad that I don't live here because I would eat here too frequently. My favorites Bolognese, Zawzeech, & Meatloaf Parmesan". CA$H ONLY.

The United States has the best sandwiches of any country. Philly has the best sandwiches in the country. Paesanos has the best sandwiches in Philly. Ergo Paesanos has the best sandwiches in the world.

Philly Chese Steak is the best street food in the USA. Additionally, this is the best place you can eat it. Eat more and more when you have chance to get..

Ditch work for an hour on a Friday afternoon and come in for a quick lunch. Order the meatball bosciaola sandwich, sit down, and enjoy. (Bring your laptop with you just in case.)

Incredible food! Huge portions and ingredients are flavorful and fresh. Only fault I can find is that I can’t eat all my meals here.
Sarah StephensMarch 1, 2015
Amazing sandwiches with really unique ingredient combos. The Gustaio with home-made lamb sausage and red sun-dried cherries on mint crispy flatbread was phenomenal. Can really recommend this place !!

The namesake and arista are both incredible. Pretty much can't go wrong here. And there's a pretty good sandwich with fried lasagna in it.
Amanda ShulmanApril 28, 2013
The most epic sandwiches ever. Like ever. My favorite is the Bolognese, a fried lasagna (yes this is real) sandwich. Also check out the Paesano, the Arista, the Daddy Wad, and the veggie sandwiches.

The Bolognese, which layers fried lasagna with red sauce, smoked mozzarella, roasted peppers, sharp provolone, and a sunny-side-up egg, will make you forget all about those touristy cheesesteaks.

More than just sandwiches here.. try the Tuscan Tony hot dog – Sopressata wrapped all-beef dog with Bolognese, sharp provolone and Italian long hots. Read more

This is where you'll find my favorite roast pork sandwich, the Arista w/ broccoli rabe, long hots and sharp provolone. It may be sacrilege to say, but this beats out DiNic's for me.
Philadelphia MagazineAugust 29, 2012
Anthony Bourdain stopped by Paesano's while in Philadelphia filming for his show The Layover. He and his crew tried four sandwiches: The Liveracce, the Gustaio, the Arista, and the Paesano.
Men's Health MagJuly 9, 2012
Go for the roasted suckling pig, provolone, and broccoli rabe in the "Arista". For an Italian cold-cut, go for the "Daddy Wad," packed with mortadella, salami, sopresatta, cappacolla and prosciutto.
Brad GrahamFebruary 27, 2014
1of2 Try one of Peter McAndrews’ famous sandwiches. Arista, Paesano, Gustaio. Their potatoes are roasted in duck fat and are smothered in provolone cheese. OMG.
Lance LacoffDecember 14, 2015
One of philly's best sandwich spots - treat yourself to the bolognese or the paesano. Can't really go wrong here

Paesano’s sandwich shop is decidedly new-school thanks to chef Peter McNamara’s flourish: The Tuna Italiana throws herb-cheddar spread, hard-cooked egg, roasted tomatoes, arugula & chips into the mix.
The FeastJune 10, 2011
Chef McAndrews sandwich spot has become one of the biggest destination spots for food tourists. We love the Bolognese, a piece of lasagna and a fried egg on a Sarcone's seeded roll. Read more

Another favorite: Daddy Wad marries mortadella with pistachios, genoa salami, sopressata, capicola, prosciutto and sharp provolone with arugula, tomatoes, onions and sweet and hot peppers.

One the best sandwich shops in the Italian market in south Philly. There crispy meatloaf Parmesan sandwich is out of this world.
34th Street MagazineNovember 6, 2012
These sandwiches put the cheesesteak to shame. Get the Arista with roast suckling pig and wash it down with a root beer.
Philadelphia MagazineOctober 6, 2010
The Bolognese Sandwich is a must try. The homemade lasagna is battered and fried—fried!—then topped with all of the above. And an egg, if you’re really brave. Read more

Order the Paesano, the Arista, or the Bolognese. Take out-of-towners here to blow their minds. [Eater 38 Member]

Think Slow Food in Italian Nonna’s kitchen with loud Irish roots...Crazy-delicious combos like the pulled roast suckling pig with broccoli rabe, Italian longhots and sharp provolone.
Katrina Arey (Croswell)December 2, 2014
The paesano is a thing of beauty- messy but beautiful. Perhaps my favorite sandwich in Philadelphia
Phil KatzMarch 19, 2016
Best sandwiches on the planet. Just thinking about the diavolo sends my heart a flutter.
Bill MartellaNovember 18, 2012
Pork sandwich was dynamite. Brisket pretty good too, would benefit from a thicker cut. Mmmmm
Lauren StephensonAugust 15, 2013
Best Gluten free Hoagie by far! Try the Tuna Italiano no cheese. 👌
Barrett LaneApril 1, 2013
You could easily split one of these enormous filling sandwiches...but why? Get the Paesano.
Christine WalshDecember 29, 2013
Get the Giardina - for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike
Bob BentzAugust 9, 2014
Had the classic Arista. Delicious despite Mets fans in the building.
ConciergeNovember 5, 2011
The Arista- "whole roast suckling pig with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone!. Need I say more?

Diavolo sandwich was the best sandwich I’ve ever had
Aaron WilliamsFebruary 22, 2013
The liveracce sandwich is so damn good. You'll be doing yourself an injustice if you didn't.
Chris WallaceOctober 22, 2011
These are honestly some of the best sandwiches in town. And this is a sandwich town.
Campbell BirdAugust 3, 2014
Get the Paesano or the Bolognese. Both are rad.
Daniel TewfikSeptember 19, 2015
Fried lasagna sandwich. Died and gone to heaven.
Steve ScarlataDecember 22, 2012
Nothing on the liverrace sounds like it goes together until you taste it. Possibly the best sandwich I've ever eaten.
Kristie MabsAugust 26, 2012
I would like to attempt to try every sandwich on the menu. So good!
Charles BSeptember 21, 2013

RC Cola on tap. Instant classic. Get the Liveracce or the classic Paesano. Seriously impressive.

The gustaio! Bolognese.
