Always reliable. I order the haddock on most visits, and the high quality has never faltered. Bar staff members know their stuff, are capable of crafting a specialty cocktail per your request.

Très bruyant dans la salle principale mais plus tranquille dans la salle à manger. Réservation recommandée pour un service entre 7 pm et 8 pm. Les plats sont copieux mais ne sont pas assez relevés. Bonne carte de vins. Un service très attentif.

The appetizer mussels were fabulous. The veal piccata and fusilli chicken were also fabulous. The sauce on the eggplant/chicken parmigiana was a little disappointing as it did not have much flavor it usually is better but everything else was fabulous.

Every time I go to Paradiso it’s amazing. The service is awesome and the food is to die for. My favorite meal is the cavatelli and it never disappoints. Our waiter Michael was attentive but also didn’t bombard us- the perfect combo. Overall, another wonderful experience.

Excellent good, very good service. Dining area was recently renovated. The only downside was that dining room was TOO LOUD Apparently the management wanted a more lively atmosphere. For me, I would prefer somewhat quieter. However, since the food and service was so good, I'll be back

Great staff and food. Started with bread and dip, yummy. My husband had the veal with salad and a side of homemade linguine. I had the Linguine Amalfi fra diavolo. Chocolate soufflé, apple tart blossom and spumoni. The dining room is most likely not too loud normally but there was an obnoxiously boisterous family in the room (another table was very loud also but not sure if they were speaking loudly because of the family). Our first visit and will definitely go back. Oh yeah, the broccoli rabe were delicious.

Cocktails and food were good. So was the service. But the noise level in the back dining room was insane. Part of it was due to a loud party at a circular table, but it also seems like the acoustics in that room are a problem. Perhaps some sound mitigation steps can be taken.
