I been wanting to trying this restaurant for a while. Unfortunately the food was not good. The sauce taste like it was old and the shrimp was freezer burnt, and taste freezer burnt . I ordered the Gamberi Fra Diavola.

My son and I went here on Christmas Eve. Other members could not be with us that night so the mood was not as festive. Well, that changed once we were seated by the lovely young hostess right by the fireplace in a cozy corner. The atmosphere was classy, but still casual, and nicely decorated for the season. It was very busy, but not loud and felt I could hold a private conversation. Our server, Brian, was terrific. He was personable and answered any questions without making us feel rushed, despite it being unusually busy. We ordered the Jerk Chicken and Tortellini Rose, as well as the tiramisu for dessert. Everything was fantastic. I especially loved the chicken, which was seasoned to perfection and just fell off the bone. The garlic spinach and mashed potatoes were tasty too. We will definitely return.

We had not been here for a while so we thought we would stop in. Support local!! Must be new owners because the whole experience was yucky!! It was sad to see how much it had changed. Don’t usually give a review but I would say don’t waste your time and money. Overpriced, staff on phones, music is boring, dark, cold and food is not good. ☹️ . Felt like it was just a big fat waste of time and lots of money. Maybe they will see the reviews and start to make some positive changes.

The food in general was substandard, as my wife became ill from the fettuccini con granchi. My meal was not restaurant-quality. House salad dressing was encouraged, but included an additional charge (who knew). The service was amateur. Something changed in the new ownership. This will be our last visit to this restaurant.

Great overall experience. Ate here for the first time today for lunch with my family. Coke products (if that matters for you, as it does for my wife). Great food, full of great flavor and ample portions. My wife had the manicotti and it looked great. I had the veal with cognac cream sauce and shitake mushrooms, very good. My son, chicken tenders and fries... The only negative about the experience today was that it was quite chilly in the dining room for the first half of the meal I kept my down vest on. Ordering coffee, plus the hot food improved matters over time.

I stopped here for dinner. The atmosphere is nice. Started off with some italian bread great start reminding me of trips to my nonis. First course of calamari was perfectly cooked and hot. The caesar salad was a bit drenched in dressing so ok. As an entree I got a seafood pasta that I asked if they could use cappellini pasta and they obliged. I found it a little underseasoned and a touch watery but with a little addition of seasoning it tasted good. For dessert I had a chocolate mousse cake but there was no mousse in site more of a chocolate ganache cake.also got a cappuccino but there wasn't any sweetener on the table or presented with it so I didn't really drink much of that. All in all it was ok.

A favorite place to eat. The food is excellent and the service is wonderful.
Everything was so delicious from our salads, main entrees to dessert!
I absolutely loved the cheese filled tortellini with cream sauce and pancetta.
The lemon cream cake was also very good as well as the incredible service.

Paradiso Ristorante in Westminster, MD absolutely blew us away. We came in with a large group, and from start to finish, the service was flawless — professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It’s rare to find a place that handles a big party with such ease and grace, but Paradiso nailed it.
The food was outstanding. Every dish we ordered — from appetizers to entrées — was prepared with care and full of flavor. You can tell they take pride in doing things the right way. Everything tasted fresh, perfectly cooked, and thoughtfully presented.
On top of that, the prices were more than reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re getting real value, which is getting harder to find these days.
Whether you’re out for a casual dinner or managing a large group event, Paradiso is a go-to spot that delivers consistently excellent food and service. Highly recommended — we’ll absolutely be back!
