Old school Italian restaurant. Hard to find these days. Large portions, excellent food. No free refills on soda, so might as well get a pitcher.

When our party arrived and walked in..The entire place smelled so good like pizza . Very reasonable rates for pizza. Their cream puff was my dessert choice and I was not disappointed.

Went to Paradise restaurant in Verplanck for dinner tonight. I’ve picked up and had their pizza many times which has always been absolutely excellent. Tonight I went with some friends and had dinner there for the first time. It’s a very old-fashioned restaurant with a 60s vibe. They didn’t bring us any bread for our table until we asked for it, which I thought was a little unusual for an Italian restaurant. I didn’t order an appetizer, I just ordered an entrée, eggplant rollatini, And rather than pasta, I got a house salad. The owner, Joe, came over and chatted with us for a few minutes, which was very nice. In fact, he actually took our order. The waitress was very nice also, but I thought the service was quite slow. My friends agreed. My eggplant rollatini and my friends penne à la vodka meal came out at the same time. My other two friends had ordered calzones and the calzones came out about five or six minutes later. I thought that was rather odd. I was going to wait until we all had our food together, but I also didn’t want my food to get cold so after three or four minutes, I started eating. I was very happy with my eggplant rollatini, was delicious and a generous portion. My friend was not as happy with her penne à la vodka, there was not much cream in it, and according to her, there was also not any prosciutto in it whatsoever. It was a huge portion and the owner did add more cream to it for her when she complained. my friends seem to be very happy with their calzones and they were huge. For dessert, two of us got the cream puffs that seems to be their specialty and they were delicious and quite huge. My other friend got a slice of cheesecake. She said it was OK, nothing to write home about. I was very happy with my meal and I would definitely go back again. My friend with her penne à la vodka was definitely not as happy and I don’t know if she would give them another try. Their prices are quite reasonable, my entrée was $22. They have a fairly extensive menu, but I was surprised to see that they did not have salmon listed with the other fish entrées. Salmon is a very popular dish and has been for quite a few years so I’m surprised they don’t have it on the menu. As I said before, the service was slow. The dining room was not full, but there was quite a few people dining there tonight. Maybe they needed another waitress, I don’t know, but we had to wait for everything. Water, entrées, the bill, everything. And the owner of the restaurant, as I said, was helping. I would definitely go back again, the owner and the wait staff were very friendly and accommodating and I would definitely order their pizza as takeout, it’s been spot on every time! oh, and there appeared to be plenty of parking, none of us had any problems finding a parking spot.

Carmine is an exceptional bartender. Made me feel like I’m home even though I’m coming in from the city. Hats off to the chef too he cooked a mean steak. Pizza is also top notch. Check it out if you’re ever in the area!

Saw the sign and stopped for a quick dinner. Enjoyed. Very friendly, very good old style
It was a mediocre place. Very dated. Bartender was extremely friendly. Which was nice cuz he was the first person to greet me. When I walked in. I had to wait for my boyfriend. The food was your typical cookie cutter Italian food. We had mozzarella sticks that you could have gotten out of a box. My shrimp scampi with scallops over rigatoni had so much garlic. You couldn't taste anything else, not even the seafood. It was in a small bowl so it was messy. My boyfriend's dish was tasteless, he said. He's Italian from the Bronx. We had another appetizer that I can't even remember what it was. And the main thing that really bothered me was that the food was rushed out. We were not even finished with our appetizers and dinner was placed on the table. Everything felt rushed. It was not an enjoyable night.
