"Fairly warm and cozy atmosphere depending what area you are sitting.Front area can be disruptive when guest are entering and leaving. Feel the lighting could be somewhat dimmer. Also music was was alittle loud for a dining area,but when asked the staff toned it down perfectly. We were greeted warmly and assisted with coats etc.My grilled capon woth rosemary and lemon was very good, as well as one of daily specials,the raviole with with mushrooms and truffle oil. Staff quite knowledgable.I do recommend Paese to people."

"On this visit I had the special whole fish-Orata. Superb. My guests had the Turkey Bolognaise and steak. We were all very happy as usual. The Affogato dessert may not be missed!!!"

"Paese on Bathurst is one of my favourite places for both lunch and dinner. I took my girlfriend for a lovely Friday lunch -- she really enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. She said she would definitely drive from her home in Mississauga to eat at Paese! Thanks again to the staff for a tasty lunch!"

"I have eaten at Paese many times over the past 15 years. The restaurant has a lovely ambience,a well designed menu,and respect for fresh ingredients and quality food. The wait staff are professional,helpful and friendly. On one occasion when I took young children to Paese, they were welcomed and they enjoyed their experience. I expect to eat at Paese many times in the future."

"We had a great meal at Paese this weekend. We split the meatball appetizer and a pizza to start. The meatballs were amazing, the pizza was so-so, but still good (we like pizza a little saucier - but thats just personal preference). Both our entree's were delicious (the beef lasagna and the turkey bolognese). We had no room for dessert. It was also a nice perk to dine somewhere in Toronto where parking was right outside and free. We look forward to going back soon."
