Fast service, attentive staff, and excellent Italian food. Fresh, good size portions without being overwhelming.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome food and great serviceWe go here quite a bit. They are not afraid of garlic and spice. They have several unique appetizers, but I really like the polenta and mushrooms. Large selection of pasta dishes and decent wine selection.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMParavincinis Italian BistroI had a wonderful experience while in town for business and dining alone. The owner/greeter was charming and spent a little time with me talking about his wine list and updates he is planning to make. I had a nice Italian red. My server was fantastic, just enough chatter to keep me from feeling alone, but not too much to interfere with my dining. I had their special Calamari Arrabiatt appetizer, great flavor and nice heat, and for my entree, their special own special Veal Tuscano. Perfect for veal and garlic lovers. Salad and a great warm pannini rounded out the meal. This is a really nice neighborhood restaurant with good food, fantastic service and very reasonable prices. Parking, too.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was my fourth time here,This was my fourth time here, and it was delightful as usual.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMIn the vast wasteland of chainIn the vast wasteland of chain restaurants and fast food joints, it is nice to know a place like Paravicini's exists.

My husband really enjoyed the Bada Bing cheesecake.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMWe really enjoyed our visitWe really enjoyed our visit to the restaurant. It was our first time and really felt welcome. The food was absolutely the best Italian we had ever had and I was very impressed with the prices. It wasn't too much and very affordable for the food that we received.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Italian Ever!This was one fantastic experience! We made a reservation but it appeared to be unnecessary when we arrived, as there was just a handful of occupied tables. People kept coming throughout our meal and by the time we left the place was nearly full. The service was spectacular and the food simply delicious and out of this world. For the price, we felt the food was a terrific value; salads were real lettuce rather than the standard zero-nutrition iceberg variety, bread delightful, soup light and flavorful, entrees well presented and scrumptious, and dessert beautiful and divine. Our waiter was helpful in selecting our tastes in wine, and both of us were happy with the resultant selection. We're most certainly returning when back in the area!3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMNice dining experience forNice dining experience for my wife and I.
