For more than 20 years, Paolo’s has been bringing the taste of Italy to Kent. Paul Raftis founded the restaurant after growing up learning to cook along side his mother, Darlene Raftis. He enjoys the open kitchen he can chat with guests as he works. He never tires of hearing "It smells so good in here!" As a marathoner, he is living proof that that you can eat Italian and be healthy. In fact, one of his signature dishes, "Fettucine Paolo" was featured in Runner's World magazine. "It's one of the dishes I developed, it has no cream in it, no butter." It's a delicious pasta dish that utilizes olive oil, garlic, chicken stock, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, and chicken. So whether it's bruschetta, cioppino, pizza, or spaghetti and meatballs, Paul thanks each of you for choosing to dine here.

    This is the second time I've eaten brunch at Island Soul. The food is hot (warm and a little spicy), well flavored, and served exactly as described. The shrimp and/or catfish and grits are excellent as is the hurricane. Keep up the great work Island Soul!

    I was blown away by the outstanding service and attention we received. I appreciate how your staff offered us options for seating and then continually checked in on us to make sure we were taken care of. Thank you so much to Sam and all the others who helped her. Much appreciated. I enjoyed my salad with grilled shrimp, delicious. The only comment was that there should be more fennel in the fennel/tomato soup. Otherwise all was great. I will be back with my husband for dinner.

    Marcus was our server … absolutely phenomenal. We traveled from Boston to Seattle and have been looking forward to dining @ Palisade for several weeks. As always, the Palisade team deserves an Olympic Gold medal for providing an extraordinary experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
