Food is great. Always go there for a great Italian feed that's affordable. And bring your hunger, the food portions are very generous. Great service as well. Ideally best to book a table or sit at the sports bar.

We celebrated my Dad's 85th Birthday here today and it was our 1st time dining at this venue. The food portions were "huge" and delicious. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Everyone's meals were double portions and delicious. Will definitely return soon. Great value for money and highly recommended.

Big portions, especially the chicken schnitzel parmigiana (I think one plate can be shared between two people). Super friendly staff at the reception, cashier and kitchen. Paesani used to be open to the public, but now it will be open to Canterbury or Campsie RSL members only (if you have no membership with them, they might ask you to register with them).
