Seasonal fare inspired by Southern Europe’s coastal approach to dining. Wood-fired flatbreads, mezze, wild-caught fish and hand-made pastas all served in a lush, garden setting.
“I visited here a few months ago to celebrate my birthday, and I absolutely loved the experience! Our server, Virginia, was incredible—so warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal. She truly went above and beyond to make my birthday feel special, and her outstanding service deserves recognition. The food was delicious, and as a first-time visitor, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We made a reservation ahead of time, so we were seated right on schedule with no wait, and we were able to place our orders almost immediately after sitting down. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations, and I’m already looking forward to coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommended!”
“I’m just in love with this place and their patio. This place has an amazing atmosphere. And they have the food and great service to back it up. We had the tempura vegetable appetizer and the hummus. Both were very good. I had the pizza for dinner and my husband had the chicken marsala. And the carrot cake was ginormous. And their grapefruit juice was amazing . I forgot to ask, but it tasted like fresh grapefruit juice . My only complaint was that the hostess was very snarky. She refused to give us a table on the patio because they had stacked reservations. But for more than three hours only half the tables on the patio were full. But after she left, one of the other, very sweet hostesses, gave us a table on the patio. Shaking my head. We had a great time, and I would definitely recommend to friends and family.”
“Generally when you get photogenic restuarants the food is terrible but that's not the case for Paradiso. The Hummus Trio with the fresh baked pita was good and serve with 3 different hummus and one was a unique roasted beet hummus. Misto Fristo was so dang delicious and the steak frites weren't bad either.”
“Ambience, vibes and restaurant aesthetic are fabulous. Food was great (however I’m not sure a sandwich and fries warrants $18). That’s where the positives end for me. The service left much to be desired. Hostess? Unwelcoming, no smile. Wait staff standing behind her? Same. Our waiter? I’ve received a warmer welcomes and friendliness at my local Chilis. For the price point and atmosphere, you expect an upper scale level of service. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. I really wanted to love it tho!”
“The drinks weren’t mixed well and mostly just tasted like straight alcohol. I ended up sending mine back and was offered another, but I decided not to order a replacement since my boyfriend’s drink wasn’t made well either. The appetizer was definitely the highlight of the night. We ordered a hummus trio and a burrata appetizer. both were great. The pita was perfect and the burrata dish was amazing. The pizza was fine, but nothing special.”
