I&#8217;ve been here a couple of times, but someone has always taken me so I really don&#8217;t know where it is. I suppose I could enter the address in my GPS. The restaurant has been around a long time so it shouldn&#8217;t be a problem. Although, I didn&#8217;t have to worry about finding the place because Rachel drove and she is very familiar with the area. I was so happy to find her in the same training class. We used to work together in the same department about ten years ago. She started a month before I did. It was nice to be able to catch up. And, it was also nice not having to eat dinner alone for a change.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7847832370\/\"  title=\"2012-08-23 19.40.56.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8289\/7847832370_892c66ce7d.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2012-08-23 19.40.56.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I accidentally ordered the Chicken Spidini Diavolo instead of the Carcciofi Spidini, which I probably would have liked better since I don&#8217;t really like spicy foods. That spicy diavolo sauce is no joke. It was so spicy, I couldn&#8217;t even taste the marinara sauce of the spaghetti. Unless, they put spicy diavolo sauce over it too. It was dark in the restaurant so I couldn&#8217;t tell.

I just don&#8217;t like spicy foods and I made the mistake of ordering the spiciest dish on the menu. It&#8217;s ID10T error, as Mel at work always puts it. LOL. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t ever remember having a bad meal at Paisano&#8217;s and this was actually pretty good. Seriously. I ate most of it. Then again, that doesn&#8217;t say much, as Brian thinks I am a human garbage disposal and will eat just about anything.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m actually looking forward to going back to Paisano&#8217;s again and ordering the dish that I intended to order. I&#8217;m curious what it tastes like.
