Paesano Restaurant & Wine Bar

Paesano Restaurant & Wine Bar, established in 1984 by founders Michael and Bridget Roddy, has been a cornerstone of authentic Italian dining in Ann Arbor, Michigan for over four decades. Now owned by the dedicated Ann Arbor family Andrew, Elissa, and Rick since June 2023, this beloved restaurant continues its mission of offering homemade and healthy dishes inspired by Italy's countryside. Located at 3411 Washtenaw Avenue, just a quarter mile west of US 23, Paesano provides convenient free onsite parking and is minutes away from the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, St. Joseph Hospital, and Washtenaw Community College. The restaurant features an extensive wine bar with carefully selected Italian vintages, perfect for pairing with their seasonal Summer Lunch and Dinner menus. Private dining options are available for groups of 18 or more, and the restaurant offers comprehensive catering services for off-site events. The intimate atmosphere, combined with Salvatore Bisaccia's Italian language classes held on-site, creates a truly immersive cultural experience. Open Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 5 PM, Paesano welcomes guests seeking genuine Italian hospitality in a welcoming, family-oriented environment.
