Paesano's

I can hear the belittling jokes now..."Adam all you do is eat new types of food and write about it!" "Eww you're so fat it's disgusting!" Okay I swear I do other things besides eat at new restaurants, it's just I've been lonely after Valentine's Day and food always knows how to say I love you.

Paesano's. 152 W. Girard Ave. Another place not more than a stones throw away from my new pad, and another restaurant I've heard good things. Before I even moved into my apt. my landlord told me they make the best sandwiches he's ever eaten. Now if you've ever seen my landlord, he just has this aura about him that he's a dude who knows his sammmiches! So I trust him and eat there one day as I'm walking by.

I ordered the Gustaio which I believe had cherry tomatoes, onions, gorgonzola, lamb, and spinach. Again it was amazing! You can tell the ingredients are as fresh as they come, the spinach and tomatoes lighting up through the greasy wax paper surrounding the sammy. Quantity was perfect not too fulling but just enough to keep you upright while walking out the door.

A pleasant surprise were the staff on hand. The cook was a rough looking Italian dude who looked like he wanted to hate me, or already did. But he was as friendly as people say south philly italians usually are (juries out on this one). Made some hilarious small talk about about root beer and cream soda, and whipped up my sandwhich in less than 5 minutes.

I'm not lying to you. Every place I've eaten is fantastic and I would be happy to go back to any of them to prove it to you.

Paesano's, check.
