   I had the wedge salad that was excellent. Ice cold and the ight amount of blue cheese and dressing and bacon, tomatoes. My husband had the beet beet salad that looked really good. my husband had the patralie and I had the prime rib, cooked med rare which was very good.Vegetables were a little cold otherwise we enjoyed it very much. Worth the price. Restaurant is on the noisy side.

   We had a party of 7 for a birthday dinner. The seafood fettuccine was outstanding. The lamb rack, the sole, and the prime rib were also excellent. The only minor disappointment was the braised short rib, which was good, but not great, especially in comparison to the other dishes. We were pleased with the appetizers, calamari and the filet mignonettes were both very good. We brought one bottle of red wine and ordered a bottle of a French white burgundy, so they waved the corkage on the bottle that we brought. Cocktails from the bar were properly made and tasty. I look forward to going back again. I should note that there isn't any on-site parking, so arrive a bit early to locate an on-street parking spot.

   Our first visit to Paradiso was very delicious, so we plan to go back and try more things. We had the short ribs (so so tender and flavorful) and the Paradiso Chicken (so rich and perfectly cooked), as well as a roasted pear salad. All of it was yummy. We also had the creme brûlée and an adffogato to end the meal. Both were pretty good. The waiter recommended a Portuguese red wine blend, which was as affordable as it was delicious. It was very busy, even on a Thursday night, so our service was a bit slow at the beginning, but our waiter was very nice and very helpful and food service was well-timed. My one complaint would be the noise level. It was active and loud and the petulant baby at the next table didn't help, but honestly, we were two people sitting across from each other and we had to lip-read!!!

   Great friendly and quaint neighborhood location. Excellent and engaging staff including waiters and hosts. Food was top quality and well prepared. Great menu with fine selections for varied tastes. The four in our party really enjoyed the excellent calamari, short ribs, a pasta dish, and cioppino and scallops.

   Restaurant was very busy which is awesome for Paradiso! Though busy the entire staff was very attentive, friendly, and professional! The manage (or could he have been the owner) came by twice to ask how we were doing. The food was excellent! I have always had good experiences at Paradiso which is why I keep coming back! Keep up the great job! Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

   We came specially because my 10 year old has been wanting to have their bananas fosters bread pudding. It was my Valentines gift to her. We had a reservation for 3 but my husband was called to work so it was just me and my girl. Maybe because of this there seemed to be a lack of attention to our table. When brought water we were the only ones around that the bottle was not left for. Later in the dinner I asked for more water which was never brought. We also asked for bread which was never brought. Our food came fast. My daughter had linguine with marinara and I had the bolognese. It was delicious but it did take a while for the water to come nearby and I had to flag him down when he walked past to ask for some Parmesan for my daughter. The pasta dishes were absolutely delicious. My daughter and I both cleaned our plates. The bananas fosters bread pudding as usual did not disappoint. Overall it was a really good dining experience because of the food. But I have had better service from the establishment before.

    My experience was very good. Got there early and they were able to accommodate us with a seating area to enjoy a glass of wine. Shortly after that, we were seated. Considering how busy they were that night. Our server did a phenomenal job attending us. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food and great service.
