As a party of six, we all ordered our meals and they were delivered within a very reasonable time. The pasta is made fresh at the restaurant. Our only issue was how very loud The Table and back of us was to the point we couldn't have our own conversations maybe it's acoustics I don't know, but I would recommend asking to be seated where there aren't large parties or in the bar area which is high tops You will not be disappointed by the food.

My wife and I enjoyed yet another fabulous meal at Ristorante Paradiso! The newly renovated dining room room is lovely, but it's very noisy. I wish there was someway to do something about that. Our food was fabulous. Wine was very good. Our waiter Steven, was excellent. Fabulous! Thank you!!

Excellent pappardelle bolognese, excellent veal valdostana, attentive service. I'd intended to try Paradiso for a while, and it will be a regular.

I was very dissatisfied with the food and service. I love Italian food, but you’re better off going to Olive Garden than eating here. The red sauce tasted like it was tomatoes blended up with no seasoning. The drinks were okay but the ravioli was equivalent to a can of Chef Boyardee. Our service was very slow and it was not busy when we were there.

A Delightful Evening at Paradiso Ristorante

I recently dined at Paradiso Ristorante and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of our meal was enjoyable.

The menu offered a wide array of authentic Italian dishes, and each course was prepared with exceptional care and flavor. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were rich and flavorful, highlighting the quality of the ingredients used. The wine selection complemented the meal beautifully, enhancing the overall dining experience.

I highly recommend Paradiso Ristorante to anyone seeking a genuine Italian dining experience. The combination of excellent service, delightful atmosphere, and exquisite cuisine makes it a standout choice for any occasion.

My son has special needs and we were treated with such kindness. I’m so thankful for the service provided and giving us a larger table to eat at so my son doesn’t get burnt. Heather is compassionate and made my heart smile! The food is beyond superb and there is no doubt that Logan and I will be back soon! ❤️

Café Paradiso never disappoints! The freshness and quality and variety of food offerings is outstanding. Kudos to one of the best bartenders ever, Kim, thank you for some really wonderful drinks consistently! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The staff makes you feel like part of the family. It's one of our favorite places.

Winning=going to your favorite Italian restaurant for your dad's birthday dinner and them having one of your favorite dishes on special. Never a bad meal and always great service.

I liked this restaurant. The food, service, everything was very good! I'll return to try other menu items. As the restaurant got more crowded the excellent service dropped off a bit...longish wait for our bill. Parking near the train station can be a challenge.

My Fiancé and I came here to eat while on vacation. The server was Heather and she was awesome ! We loved everything , I had salmon and he had haddock . You would have received 5 stars however I was extremely disappointed in the tiramisu …. What you serve is not real tiramisu,it is merely cake made to resemble one , a tiramisu is made with ladyfingers. You can’t advertise tiramisu because when a real Italian orders it,they get very disappointed that it is not what it is supposed to be. Other than that would definitely recommend!! Ciao

We enjoyed Paradiso in the past. Since it has been redone, it seems noisier. The food is still very good. The service was somewhat slow. We will return in the future.

First time dining at Paradiso. The atmosphere is lovely, lively- and quaint. The warm rolls and dipping oil- delicious. We split the Melanzane Ripiene, (stuffed eggplant) - not a fan. The eggplant was soft, mushy and tasteless. The Chicken Parmigiana. The serving size is massive, sadly it wasn’t crisp and the sauce even sadder. The taste of the tomatoes, for me, tasted like they opened a can of tomatoes, warmed some, then pour it over the chicken. The most bland, tasteless sauce I’ve ever had. For dessert- the Apple Blossom, phenomenal! The dough and apples were cooked perfectly. One of the best dessert’s, hands down. The Tiramiso, sadly, one of the worst I’ve ever had. Will I be returning? Absolutely not.
