Pavesi Restaurant truly exceeded our expectations. The chef's dishes were a delightful mix of traditional and innovative flavors, each more delicious than the last. The owner and servers made us feel incredibly welcome, adding a personal touch to our dining experience that was both warm and professional. Every aspect of our visit, from the ambiance to the service, was top-notch. Definitely a five-star experience – highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable meal.

Unfortunately a mediocre option. Food is just okay and the tables are too tightly packed.

If you can't or won't pay for the liquor license, don't charge full boat for the food. Also, the restaurant business is first and foremost, a hospitality business. Food good enough, if not extraordinary.

Pavesi never disappoints. The host and servers are always so gracious and welcoming. As a gluten-free customer, it's often a challenge finding options at Italian restaurants. They do offer GF pasta here, which is a plus- I wish they had more GF items. That's said, we will return!

Always a good experience at Pavesi's. Nice menu and they have great specials. Good portion size. I always order Eggplant Parm and am never disappointed. Their sauce is great. Had out-of-town guests w me who wanted some “Jersey Italian” and they loved their dishes. BYOB, which helps manage the cost. Highly recommend.
Everything about this place was excellent! Food was was very good. Servers and staff were attentive, polite, worked hard and seemed happy. The owner/manager should be proud of Pavesi's. I'm a fan and will be back!
This was a great dining experience! The menu was traditional Italian fare and the service was on-the-mark for timing, especially for pre-show dining since we were attending an 8 PM show at MAYO. The food was splendid and we were finished by 7:45 PM, from our 6 PM reservation time. The service was fantastic, we never felt rushed or otherwise, it was clear they're very accustomed to accommodating theatre attendees, and we will gladly return when next in the area for a show or otherwise!!

Pavesi never disappoints. The food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS and the service is exceptional! From the fresh garlic knots, polenta appetizer, arugula salad, and flavorful entrees. From the moment you enter the restaurant and you're greeted by Mo to the end of dinner...it's always a comforting enjoyable experience!!! We love Pavesi!

Moe (the consummate host) and his new Chef Sam took very good care of us and perfectly prepared all four of our meals. Allah, our server, was his usual best and graciously attended to all of our needs. Sam has made some very good changes to the menu and increased the number of specials that are offered. I had the special veal chop parmigiana which was excellent and my wife had the special lamb ossobuco which she raved about (and she would let them know if it wasn't!). We were treated to a wonderful special dessert for the four of us to share as well as complimentary limoncello. Last, but not least, we had the pleasure of sitting right in front of Dawn who excelled with her musical selections. All in all, it was a terrific night and we look forward to returning soon.
