Best Pistachio martini in the city. Espresso martini is exceptional too

Partner & I went to get gelati last night to find you guys closed well before it says you do. Very disappointing especially when navigating from south Boston to the north end specifically for a singular place

Great atmosphere, friendly, personal service, wonderful gelato, really great coffee also. We went to Café Paradiso every night after dinner, a real find.

I found myself at Caffe Paradiso with 2 of my closest friends, 3 aperols and 1 pistachio martini deep on a beautiful spring day in Boston at 4pm on a Friday. It was euphoric.
I'm born and raised in LA, so I never understood the argument for people loving seasons. You'd rather freeze your bum off half the year than be warm year round? Yeah, ok...
But living in New York for the past 3 years, I understand it. There is something about earning that first nice day after making it through a harsh winter that makes it so much more rewarding. You earned it. I imagine it's like going on a gnarly diet for 5 months, and then you have that first bacon cheeseburger. Of course that burger is always great, but it will never be better than when you've been starving yourself for months and then demolish it.
There's also this collective energy in the air where everyone NEEDS to be outside. The entire city is defrosting. You can feel it. It's tangible.
Personally, I'd still take the nice weather year round but at least I understand the argument now. It's always good to put yourself in someone else's shoes. It's the only real way to understand the world.

Nothing that will blow you away but it just hits the spot everytime! Great late night spot for good well priced cocktails and good desserts. I always enjoy ending a night here if I’m in the area.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting with a perfect balance of style and comfort. I would definitely come back again!

Tremendous. One of the oldest and most important cafes on Hanover Street. The North End of Boston is amazing..

Great little coffee shop that also serves drinks. Very enjoyable.
Very nice cafe in the North End. We tried their famous Espresso Martini & Lemondrop Martini, and both delivered. We also tried the Tiramisu and Cannoli, also very good. Staff was very friendly and tentative. I do recommend this place.

" This is the only place in Boston, possible in the USA that has the best ? Italian expresso, latte ? and cappuccino...and much more !
My favorite ? pastry in the Apricot Croissant, OMG , It's been 24 years that always go to Caffè Paradiso to have my Caffe Late & Apricot Croissant ? with my great friends ? Andrea & Luigi & Adriana.
Mornings are my favorite time of the day to show up and start my day on the right path .
I super recommend this place. It's a genuine feeling that you are truly in an Italian caffe .
It's a MUST go?

Just stumbled on to this place while walking in the North End and really glad I did. This place is a gem. Just sit down at a table when you walk in and they’ll serve you. I didn’t know what to do exactly when I walked in and had to explain myself when I got caught standing by the counter. The gelato and coffee are great you won’t regret the experience of coming here.

My first time in Boston. My Aunt and Uncle took me here and I absolutely loved it. My Uncle told me how they hit cocoa is made and I did worry because I'm used to suger, milk... It was the best hot cocoa I have ever had. I took my cousin a cannoli because he couldn't go with us and he loved it. He hadn't had one in a while and was so happy. Loved this café.
