The food was great. I had the gluten free pasta with bolognese sauce, delish. Hubby had Rigatoni alla Cucina. I'm going to try that with gluten free pasta. But next I'll check out a gluten free pizza. Service was excellent, prices are decent and the atmosphere is adorable. We'll be back for sure.

Cucina Paradiso helped us host our engagement event and it’s was by far the best experience we’ve ever had working with a restaurant. We held a daytime event and had the whole restaurant to ourselves for 50 people, were served the best Italian food in Oak Park, and had the best time with our family. Their servers were so accommodating and helpful, just the best experience. Highly recommend for catering and hosting of events!!

I was very pleased with the food, service, and overall experience. I usually go to Il Vicolo Trattoria, but they discontinued the dishes I love, so I'm looking for new places to try. I enjoy fried calamari, Brussels sprouts, and shrimp scampi. I prefer flavorful food that isn't too rich. I also like that they offer two different pasta sizes: small and large.
