    We’ve been to this restaurant many times. However, this time the food did not taste so great. My wife had the veal and it was tough and overcooked. I had the salmon and it was undercooked. Very disappointing experience.

    I am not easily impressed but my visit with seven people went as smoothly as possible. Everything was fresh, everyone loved their meal, and everyone loved the staff. This is not any easy feat. I am very happy i gave this restaurant a shot because I will definitely be back whenever I am in town. Every person working their has exceptional manners and are more than helpful.

    This was our first time at Caffe Paradiso, and it proved to be a most enjoyable dinner. Everyone from the Maitre d’ to the waiters was pleasant and engaging. We each had lasagna, which was tender, tasty and just delicious. Just a lovely experience.

    We had only dined here once before. It was delicious! So we returned. We brought our daughter. We loved the burrata appetizer and the eggplant one as well! Our dinner entrees were good but not our best choice I think. I did enjoy my tortellini. My daughter said the ravioli Alfredo was a bit bland. My husband enjoyed his fish special. He did wish he had gotten the lasagna like he had last time. That is a stellar lasagna! The volume in the restaurant was so loud we could hardly talk at our table. I know not much can be done. Maybe next time we won’t visit in a weekend evening. Excellent service as well! Such a friendly place that seems to draw repeat local customers.

    I took my son, his wife & my grandson there last night. I have gone for years. They loved it and we all had a great time. Appetizers were excellent, and my branzino was great. They enjoyed the veal picatta and a pasta dish. Our server Antonio is entertaining, likable, and knowledgeable.

    We were disappointed. It was our third time at the restaurant and more than likely our last. The snapper my wife ordered tasted as if it was cooked the previous day and simply reheated. It was terrible. We should have sent it back but we just wanted to get the food and leave.

    Our main dishes were excellent. Grouper was fully cooked but still moist in a mild olive oil and roasted peppers. We dine at Paradiso often due to the fact food preparation is always great and service is excellent. The kitchen is always willing to make changes to a dish if requested.
