    Cafe Juanita never disappoints us. The food and service was amazing. We celebrated our daughter’s birthday (who loves cooking and food). The happiness on her face during the meal was wonderful. Sarah was our server and attentive to every detail and happy to discuss the food and wine with us. It was a wonderful night.

    It was once again excellent. Love the food, love the staff and love the always changing experience. Each member of the waitstaff are incredible and each time we look forward to who we will get to share another wonderful evening. We both had the filets and still do not understand how every time the filets are so tasty and tender. Fernando will not give away the secret but they are fantastic. Next visit we will try someone new on the menu as there is still much to explore. Thanks again to our friends at Rimini we will be back soon.

    Another wonderful Christmas Eve at Paradiso. I had the Osso Buco special and it was delicious. Hubby had the swordfish special and was pleased. Our dear friend had the lasagna and loved it. Mom had the pasta in pink sauce with artichokes and was thrilled with her choice.
