Had VD dinner with my wife. My only complaint, and it’s a big one on this occasion, is the value. When reservations were made, I was not made aware of the prix fixe menu. $90 per person which resulted in a $250 bill with gratuity and only one of the party had wine (generic red 2glasses). Appetizer, salad, and branzino filet entrees for two, with ???biscotti dessert??? After a trip across the bay to Elliot Aster earlier in the week, we were very disappointed with this meal at this price point.

Excellent Italian food. The homemade pasta was light, not heavy. It did get crowded on Saturday night, glad I made reservation.

Overall experience was excellent. I was as slow night so the noise from other diners was very low so we could actually talk. Owners were attentive as was the waiter and staff. Veal picatta and the lobster dishes were delicious! A+ restaurant. Looking forward to going again!

Perfecto 🤌🏻 Amazing food and great service! We had Joseph as our waiter - thank you for bringing personality and enjoyment to our table. I got one of the specials, lobster ravioli, SO DELICIOUS. Prices are also reasonable and food came out quick. Will be back here 👍

This restaurant is the real deal. I do not see how to offer less than five stars. I have been going to this restaurant for fifteen years and never regret a thing as everything is always the best. I am Italian which means finding an Italian restaurant worthy is next to impossible but Caffe Paradiso is a clear winner.

Went there for New Year’s Eve sat at the bar bartender was overwhelmed prefix menu for $90. Took the bartender more than 15 minutes to give us a drink, even though dessert was supposed to be included. It was never offered check was presented, and I was happy to leave. May go back that way overpriced for service and food that I experienced.

Food is mediocre and portions are small. Prices are SUPER high given the quality of the meal. Example: I ordered a Caesar salad and they literally brought me about 7 pieces of romain. Laughable, really.

This is a shadow of the place I loved just years ago.

We tried this Italian spot for the first time and it was AMAZING. We ordered the lasagna and the agnolotti, and both dishes were absolutely perfect. The flavors were rich and fresh, the pasta tasted homemade, and everything came out hot and beautifully prepared. You can really tell they put love into their food.

The service was great, the atmosphere felt cozy, and we left already talking about coming back. Highly recommend! 🍝✨

Great cafe with excellent coffee and food options. Very busy busy still great service and ambiance.

The pastries are incredible! The blueberry muffin was well balanced and buttery. The cinnamon roll was soft and flaky.
