Paladino's Italian Eatery

The pizza and ravioli were excellent. But a few things about our visit marred our experience. Unfortunately, someone was smoking near the entrance and we had to walk through that cigarette smoke to get into the restaurant. Our party of three ordered water to drink. The waitress set the drinks down and said we were welcome to refill them ourselves as she pointed to the soda machine. In general the service was friendly but I was baffled about being told to refill our own drinks. Two of us ordered pizza and one of us ordered the ravioli dinner. The two pizzas were served at the same time but one of the pizzas had to be taken back as it was not what was ordered. The ravioli arrived about 10 minutes later. About 15 minutes after that the replacement pizza arrived. Although we had originally planned on ordering desert we decided to forego it. For the pizza mix-up the server discounted our ticket by 10% which was a decent gesture. But, I doubt I would eat there again.

Quick visit for lunch as we met here for a meeting. Tara our waitress was friendly and attentive. I had the meat ball sub and it was solid. Chicken Parm looked amazing and was good.

I've been a patron of this establishment a few times and attempted to be several more. The food was good 2 of 3. They know their pies. Had a bad experience with the chicken parm, and several bad experiences with customer service. Employees attitudes. In person and over the phone if I were able to get someone to answer for a take out order. When their good their good but too many disappointing experiences for me to darken their door ever again.

Don’t skip out on this hidden gem 👀
Paladino’s is tucked away in the heart of Apache Junction serving up some amazing Chicago style Italian eats. From pasta to pizza, subs, salads and more.
The dishes are family style and definitely shareable. Excellent customer service and a great casual vibe.

I love the thin style pizza with a crunchy crust and generous toppings and sauce just right. The Caprese pizza was a hit. I loved the salad! It’s giving Olive Garden vibes but way better quality and freshness. On to the pasta dishes I was so caught up in the fettuccine and Oh My goodness that vodka pasta dishes was 👌🏽
But then I spotted the star of the show, Chicken Marsala. That’s one of my all time favorites. If it’s made right. And this, this was incredible. 🤌🏽
The perfect pasta texture, sauce was perfect in flavor and coated the pasta well. I love the generous portobello mushrooms with pieces of white meat chicken breast. This is one hearty, comfort dish I can’t wait to come back for.

I ordered a fettuccine Alfredo plate, and my wife ordered the spaghetti and meat balls. The food was amazing and fresh, and the garlic bread was even better. The atmosphere was great, and the service was amazing. We were well taken care of and would highly recommend it. They also gave my daughter a freezer pop before we left.

Great Food it's a bit of a drive but worth it..The owners are very nice and respond well to all questions

The food is amazing and so is the staff. You must stop in and say hi and grab a bite to eat. If you have not eaten there before, you will be hooked after the first time. Everything in the menu is great!!
