Ristorante Paoletti

“Outstanding experience, highly recommend! We had an incredible anniversary dinner! We started at the bar ordering some wine (they have an exceptional wine menu). Once we sat for our 8:30pm reservation, our waiter, John came right over to greet us. He was fabulous. We ordered more wine along with the oysters Rockefeller, cacio e Pepe and our entrees, the gnocchi à la sorrentina, and the Rigatoni àlla bolognese. We let John make many of the decisions for us. He was fantastic! Everything was delightful, and super fresh. The sommelier was also great, he really knew his wines! John asked us what we were celebrating, and we said our anniversary, so he kindly brought us a piece of Tiramisu, which was great. We had a wonderful evening. Our local friends in SoFL were super excited for our dinner here and it did not disappoint!”

“An amazing evening. A fantastic dining experience. It's like being invited to a large Italian family home for the most delicious dinner you can imagine. Mary cared for us like we were family insuring everything exceeded our expectations. The kitchen even created a special entree for my wife. Highly recommend you experience this Highlands treasure for yourself.”

“Great spot! Nicole at the bar is a delight. The wine list is fantastic- impressive list of vintage burg, champagne, and significant Italian wines. A real focus on interesting producers. Food is also fantastic! Seasonal specials, risotto with the right texture, and an intimidate but still fun environment. A great spot in Highlands!”

“We were lucky enough to walk in on a Monday evening and sit at the bar for dinner. This was our first visit to highlands and the first dinner of the trip, and it was incredible. From the bread service with the olive tapenade to the mains, every hit was delicious. One of the best beef carpaccios I have ever had, and the lasagna was truly amazing.”

“"Busy place, must be good" is what we thought, so we decided to wait the 45 minutes. We sat at the bar and Warner the Mixologist was entertaining and informative the entire evening. We ordered the escargot and it looked so good I forgot to get a picture. I ordered the Porcini Tortelloni which was flavorful, and a perfect t cream sauce accompanied the tortellini. My better half ordered the house lasagna. She was dis appointed as something of a tannish grey noodle casserole arrived. Wide egg-type noodles with a beef based sauce. No ricotta, no marinara, no wide lasagna noodles. She had one bite and lost her appetite. We ordered the bread pudding to go, and it was amazing. Could've been a great experience if the lasagna was, well, lasagna.”
