About Paulie's

Paulie's is a charming neighborhood restaurant serving a unique spin on classic dishes. Their potato salad is a standout, and they proudly showcase local flavors by featuring Heights-based ice cream. The Italian Hoagie is a popular choice, and their oatmeal cookie is a sweet treat. The restaurant offers a nice atmosphere with a focus on consistency and affordability, making it a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike. Customers often return because nothing is ever a disappointment, and the food is always solid. The staff, including friendly counter service, provides good recommendations for wine and pastas. The restaurant is very family friendly, with several high chairs available for kids. Many visitors find that once they smell the food cooking, they can't resist trying dishes like the grilled shrimp BLT or the Creste De Gallo and Bucatini Amatriciana, which are both highly praised. The atmosphere feels like a mom and pop place, with limited seating. Some guests have noted that the chicken piccata used to be to die for, but lately it can be hit or miss, and a few dishes like clam fettuccine have been underwhelming. Additionally, there have been concerns about the cleanliness of toast served with bare hands through the kitchen window. The ambiance is cozy, but the loud sound of chairs dragging on cement floors can be bothersome, and it would help if felt tips were added to chair legs. Overall, Paulie’s provides a delicious and authentic dining experience that keeps people coming back, especially for their great pasta at a bargain price and their friendly staff.
