I had a hard time trying to figure out how to rate this restaurant. We went here for our anniversary and our server, Catherine, was not friendly in the slightest. It almost seemed like we were a bother to her, so that brings the rating down a bit.But then we got the asiago and smoked cheddar dip, which was amazing. I got the Italian sausage rigatoni, which was really good, but my wife got the butternut squash and apple risotto. That dish was bland, kind of tasted like mush, and was extremely disappointing.The carrot cake for dessert was another delight and was so delicious! The owner (or manager) was also SUPER nice and that made things better as well. I'd go back to this restaurant for sure, but would stay away from the risotto and maybe try a pizza instead.

It's been a while since we are last here and really enjoyed the food we had and wine of the month. A stand out for us was the grilled calamari: grilled not battered and deep fried. Delicious. We also had the Moroccan salmon - that was tasty.Dietary restrictions: They had a number of gluten free options.
Paradiso hosted my son's First Communion and everything was amazing. They provided all the information from the start. Christa, was an amazing help and went above and beyond to assist with my requests. They were very accomodating. Our event had 22 guests and the party room was perfect. The menu options were just right and dinner service was above the top. Our waitresses Nicki and Aimee were exceptional. Thanks to Ron also who was very understanding and helped us out. Thank you all so much. I would highly recommend Paradiso for a private function or a lovely date night out.

First time here. Definitely won't be the last. The food was amazing. Started with the asiago dip. My fiancee had the wedge Ceasar salad, I had the beet salad. Delicious. She had the Italian sausage rigatoni, and I had the pork loin chop. Honestly the best pork loin chop I have ever had. The presentation on all dishes was excellent,but the taste was truly amazing. Can't wait to come back.

Vegetarian options: I enjoyed the Butternut squash and apple Risotto. It was fabulous! The first half had the butternut squash and it tasted like meat. The second half was like apple pie so, it’s like dinner and dessert in one dish. We celebrated a 50th birthday and the desserts are all fabulous…we tried one of everything with several forks. Pictured is the brownie cheesecake sitting in caramel sauce. Sinfully good. My mouth is watering just talking about it.

My girlfriend and I had a great time. Loved the food.
Went here on a date on a Friday night. We got the last reservation time available thankfully. I ordered the Roasted Mushroom Gnocci and shared the Asiago and Smoked Cheddar Dip as a starter. Both are vegetarian dishes and they were absolutely delicious.I love the ambience of the restaurant and their decor. And our server, Sasha, was so lovely and offered such great service. Would definitely recommend this place!

Great service and a lovely dinner was had by all of our party of seven. Will definitely return the next time we are down in the area.
We first tried Paradiso in early January 2024; & really enjoyed it ? SO we went back this past week and ….. we loved it! We had a nice table for 2 & our waitress. Sasha, was so personable & attentive. We enjoyed fabulous meals from the daily special & the regular menu. The quality was fresh, flavourful & hot ? no heat lamps at Paradiso ? your meal comes straight from the pot/stove/oven to your table.We will be back ?

Absolutely amazing food.I can usually find something to harp on, and they didn't really leave the opportunity.Service was on point, not hovering, but we never waited for anything, and the last minute request landed as expected on time with my main course.We've enjoyed all levels of food and service across many areas and venues, the food and staff make this a must have experience for Burlington.Time about 4:30pm on a Saturday evening.
