Cozy place to have dinner. BYOB. We had veal dishes that were delicious! Large portions. Friendly , fast service. Reasonable pricing. I would recommend.

First time here , was dying to try this place . Everything was awesomeService was great , never had to ask for anything and they were very courteousFood was excellent , well presentedAfter the meal the chef and owner came over to see how our meal was and we had a great conversationDefinitely going back
A group of 6 friends just spent a delicious evening at Pauline's. Promptly seated and served fresh bread with oil and butter and a water bottle. It's a BYO and our bottles were properly treated. Specials were announced and prices were given when asked (more on this later). Everyone was impressed on the presentation of the appetizers and the portion size (much more than adequate). We ordered 2 specials of the evening (one veal and one lamb shank- which we unfortunately had to change to two veals since they were out of the lamb-at 6:45PM?), 2 veal franceses a snapper and a Zuppa de pesce. All were very pleased with their dinners. We ended with espresso and a few desserts. When I checked the bill, the veal shanks were billed $10 higher (each) than quoted originally by our server. When brought to their attention the bill was graciously and quickly adjusted. It was a wonderful dinner amid pretty surroundings with acceptable noise levels. We will return!

The night we went we had a waitress that could not be bothered with our table. She messed up our order then blamed it on us. We had people with allergies and special dietary needs, we asked before ordering if special orders would be a problem and we were told no, then got charged 12.00 per special order up charge for each special order. If we had been told ahead of time we could have ordered accordingly. Overall food is ok, but when service is poor it ruins the meal.

Every visit to Pauline's is a great experience! The food is outstanding! The chef's nightly specials are a bonus to their already amazing menu. On our most recent visit, we ordered an appetizer special of calamari and shrimp tossed in a sweet and sour sauce; as well as the antipasto for two (which would easily serve more like 4). For our main courses, we had the Zuppa di Pescatore and the Penne Vodka with shrimp. So yummy! The fact that it's BYO is an added perk. The only thing that is not ideal about Pauline's is the parking. Make a reservation!

It's a family affair... We were a group of 15 for our bimonthly supper club. Pauline's is an Italian BYOB that's been around since the mid 70's. Initially we were going to try them over the summer. But they were on vacation that week. Two rooms in this restaurant. A smaller one off on your right. Our's was the main room with about 15 tables. Our server Paula, couldn't have been nicer. Believe she's the daughter of the original owner. With a group that size we shared several appetizers. Outside of those antipasto for 2 apps our favorite were those fried zucchini flowers. Sorry no photos cause they went real quick. :) At our end on the table, most entrees were off the daily specials. She had the stuffed Pork chops. I in turn couldn't resist the beef braciole (small piece) over penne pasta. That braciole is something that you don't find at Italian restaurants much anymore. I thought it was pretty good. Two or three of us ordered this and we were all in agreement. Dessert, no chance. Just cappuccinos & coffee for our table. Cost per person with a tip $62. USC#17
Tight space, but otherwise fabulous food!
