I stumbled across Paolo Ristorante and came in without a reservation. We were still warmly greeted and had a table in short order. All the courses were fantastic and the staff were very sweet and welcoming. We were there until the end of dinner service and had a wonderful time. Paolo Ristorante will be the go-to Italian Restaurant for my Wife and I in the future!

Awesome meal. Friendly staff. My husband had the lasagna just as good as the old Italian place that used to be here and the portions just as big. I had a special Chilean Sea bass over risotto with lobster cream sauce. OMG!! SOOOO GOOD!! The bread they serve is great too. Do you know the food has to be good!!! I would recommend it to anybody. Go now before everyone finds this gem and you won’t be able to get a table!!

The food was fantastic, but service from the waitress was incredibly slow, especially given there were only 5 tables occupied. Took 10 minutes to get a glass on wine , bread took another 15 minutes. The woman waitress should spend less time BSing with regulars and serve the customers.

Wonderful! Friendly attentive service starts you off for a culinary visit to Italy. Warm fresh baked bread is your first taste. The wine list has breadth and depth and all are very reasonably priced. I went for an old stand by, Zuppa de Pesce. If they can do that dish right then let’s start a relationship. They did. Presentation lovely, ingredients perfectly cooked. Four shellfish, clams, mussels, scallops, and shrimp with tender calamari rings. Over linguine. But the sauce you ask? Marvelous. Do go!

I looked up the menu online and told my wife we have to try this place. The reviews were good and I couldn’t wait to give it a shot. We had been there when it was Antonio’s back in the day and tried the next few owners that had come over the years. I can only say the food was beyond my expectations from the appetizers to dessert everything was mind blowing. The servers were spot on and we wanted for nothing. My new favorite place for Italian cuisine. I will let everyone I know about this hidden gem. I think more people need to know about Paolo’s.

Stopped by for a quick dinner and were blown away. Food was absolutely delicious (and this is coming from someone who went to high end restaurants in Rome, Venice and Milan numerous times). Pastas were perfectly prepared, good size, cooked just right aldente, and with fresh ingredients. Service was quick, attentive and unobtrusive. Prices are more than reasonable. We are not from this area, but this restaurant is a total gem.

From the ambience to the food there is no better restaurant experience than Paolo’s. Upon reviewing the menu online prior to my visit I knew I was in for authentic Italian cuisine to indulge my senses in. We were greeted by the most sincere and genuine woman. You can tell she puts her heart into the restaurant and wants to ensure that you have a great experience. We couldn’t choose between the appetizers and ended up ordering 6 of them. I’ve never seen something so artfully crafted on a plate before. The caprese was delicious and the stuffed figs made my heart melt. For my main course I ordered the gnocchi bolognese. The rich flavors and added vegetables provided different textures that made me craving another bite. We were all loosening our belts trying to fit more into our already full stomachs when Paolo himself came over and talked to us for a good 20 minutes. He shared his story and dreams with us which was the perfect ending to an already perfect meal. Thank you for sharing your craft with us and introducing us to a new song with our last name. I will definitely be back and make sure that everyone knows of Paolo and his masterful dishes.

Paolo’s was terrific! The wait staff was excellent and the food was genuine and authentic old school Italian. The ambiance was pleasant. Thank you to Paolo and our waitperson and all the staff.
