Call Ahead Seating – Paesano's Pasta House

Call ahead seating at Paesano’s Pasta House

There are several reasons why:

We do not offer reservations, the call ahead seating allows everyone an equal
opportunity to dine at Paesano’s.
If we only offered a first come first serve option, there would be dozens of people
waiting in the parking lot. It alleviates the customers long waits at the door in the
elements. There is no room to wait inside Paesano’s when we are at capacity.
We only have 50 seats (13 tables) and call aheads allow us to schedule the
seatings in such a way that it benefits the customers. We will not take parties
over 16 people.

We ONLY offer call ahead seating for the “day of” dining.
You can call after 5pm on the day you want to dine for call ahead seating
requests.
Note, we do not pick up the phone until 5pm. There is no reason to start calling
at 4:30 hoping someone will pick up the phone.
Please do not leave a message regarding a reservation, as we will not return the
call.
You may also get to Paesano’s before 5pm and place your call ahead “in
person”. The doors open at 5pm.
On many busy Miami University weekends, we have 20-60 people waiting in the
parking lot well before 5pm. If you are coming at 5, be early.
Keep in mind, we only have one phone line. We do not accept email call ahead
requests.

If you get through on the phone or arrive in person for a call ahead seating
request:

Let us know how may guests and your desired time to dine and we can let you
know what we have available.
You should try to be flexible on your desired time as we sometimes fill up right at
5pm (as noted above) and it will push seating times later in the evening.
Do not arrive late for your call ahead, 10 minutes after the call ahead time, the
table is subject to cancelled.

TIPS for call ahead seating

If you have a large party on a weekend day, the best bet will to have all your
guests at Paesano’s before 5pm to be seated in the first seating. We will not
seat your party until your entire party is at the door.
Plan to dine later. Dining after 8pm offers more opportunity for open seating.
