Absolutely lovely establishment, great service and the food is amazing!

If you're looking for a local place that makes awesome food and has great service. Try Paradiso, I'm proud to have such a fantastic place in my home town.

No fault to them, COVID made the service little slow. Seems that people are ok with dressing down.

Congratulations on 25 years. Had a great Birthday dinner in a restaurant full of people.

nice restaurant! loved the owner saying hello and checking in.

I live in San Leandro and have been going to Paradiso for a few years. It is a neighborhood gem. I have had brunch, lunch and dinner there and have never had a bad meal or time. They are a little pricey, but it is well worth it. The staff is friendly, pleasant and just plain nice. So, I highly recommend Paradiso if you are looking for a good meal, great service and just a good time!

Enjoyed our dinner at Paradiso! We primarily ordered and shared appetizers that included calamari, lamb chops and a beautiful fresh beet salad with arugula. We also shared a pepperoni and crimini mushroom pizza. We loved our meal, the service, and attention to detail! The drinks were lovely and the outdoor dining was very comfortable. I’ve eaten at Paradiso several times, and all three of us thoroughly enjoyed our evening there. We will return!

The food is delicious -I ordered my favorite the seafood pasta.

Still delicious after all these years. Happy to see this excellent local venue is still serving up quality dinners. Not Paradiso's, but the pandemic's fault, but "outdoor" dining in the big plastic tent was less than optimal. Indoor dining for sure next time.

Celebrating the memory of my mother with family.

I been to Pardiso several times. Actually Pardiso is one of my favorite restaurants. My experience on January 9th, was terrible!
1. The hostess was approachable! Attitude, no real customer service.
2. Didn't receive the Brunch menu. Had to ask for it.
3. Requested for 2nd servicing of bread twice.
4. Ordered the Crab omelette. Awful!!? Crab and avocado was just thrown between the fold of the eggs. The avocado was not even sliced, just a big chunk of avocado, thrown on there.
No flavor whatsoever!
5. Hash browns were BURNT!!

As usual, the food and service were excellent. Great cocktails too.

Food was overpriced and bland, found a hair in my dessert

Very good ambience, food and service. We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and they treated us very well. Their house made pizzas and pastas are really good.

Great server. What a treat! Thanks!!! I will be back!

Anniversary

The food, ambience and service are all fabulous! A bit on the pricey side but the food is excellent, so I will return.

Service was excellent. Food and cocktails were flat, uninspired, incorrectly prepared, overpriced and over sold.
1 item needs to be removed from the menu immediately - although we did not send it back, it remained barely touched. We are not the 1st, last, and only customers to comment on its quality and preparation. The dogs had it in their dinner.
The desserts were OK - but nothing could make amends for that disastrous meal.

Someone with passion and a dash of panache needs to overhaul the bar and kitchen menu.

I have lived in this town for over 40 years. I dined there in 2013 with my father and he and I both swore we would never go back. I got talked into giving Paradiso a 2nd chance and was equally disappointed. I would not recommend this place to anyone I cared about.

'Paradiso' indeed. Perdition would be more accurate.

Food is amazing & the atmosphere & service were very good. Would recommend as a place to go out for special occasion.

The food is always delicious extremely comfortable in spite of our unusually cold climate. My only complaint and it is a big one is the fact that one of the waiters was not wearing his mask properly and no one on staff corrected him. during this horrible pandemic I would think safety measures would be of the utmost concern for all businesses.

Paradiso is always our go to restaurant for special occasions. The food is always amazing and the service exceptional. You can never go wrong at paradiso for any meal.

Absolutely perfect NYE dinner great bang for your buck and the amount of food was up to par! Service was great too dang happy birthday to my daughter

Server was wonderful! Great way to ring in New Year!!
Wish the tables were a little more spread out due to COVID.

We dine at Paradiso at least three times a year for special occasions and have had no problems. This year it was a little different. We order the filet mignonettes as an appetizer and there as more bread and mushrooms' in there in stead of filet strips. My husband's meal was super cold, the waiter took it back and came back with another plate which was a little warmer but a smaller portion. This was very disheartening. We love Paradiso and take several friends and family members when they visit there for dinner. This was the first time that the dinner experience was below quality.

We had an awesome NYE dinner from the prix fixe menu. Everything was prepared wonderfully and the service was excellent, as usual, in spite of the place being packed with New Years celebrants. The servers are very kind and patient with the kids, and eager to please.

Wonderful to eat fine dining .

New Years Eve

I just loved eating at this hidden gem! We had a very special New Years eve lunch!
Food and service was superb!! Thank you ever so much!

Our waitress, Christina, was great, friendly, efficient. She knew the menu and made good suggestions.

The food was great as always and Nicole was very nice and professional. Thank you Nicole for your patience and awesome customer service.

Excellent food.Pizza wood fire taste and light,thin absolutely perfect crust

Our favorite restaurant.

This is the gem of San Leandro, its finest restaurant by far, but it would be highly rated in any city. The ambiance is lovely, the bar is well stocked, menu is varied, the food is delicious and the staff is attentive and friendly.

Poor customer service.
Patio was too cold.
The soup was barely warm.
We waited too long for our food and we were not given bread or water while we were waiting.
Plus, it was my son’s birthday we wanted it to be memorable for him and our server was rarely attended to our needs.

Holiday gift

Overall the drinks and food were good. The heaters outside kept the room warm, but they were very noisy. The baked tortelini were tough as though cooked too long. Service was responsive, polite, and efficient.

Our pizza was cold. It had to go back and was reheated, which then made it rubbery. The server was not in the least but friendly, to the point of being rude. I will not be eating there again in the near future.

Our visit on 12/20/2021 was simply FABULOUS. We were seated at a great table. Our server Alexander P was AMAZING. His attitude was upbeat. He was caring and friendly. He enhanced the whole experience. We return really soon.

Paradiso was exactly what we were looking for: a quaint authentic Italian restaurant. Food was amazing. We had the prime rib (only available on weekends) and short ribs which melted in your mouth after they fell apart on the plate. Everything was perfect for us and we will be back!

I made a reservation for December 19th to celebrate my 75th birthday with my family. The only available seating was high-table which I had no clue what it meant. An email was sent for clarification but I never received a response. My son, who has dined at Paradiso assured me the location was fine. The location was more the fine, it was WONDERFUL. We were seated in the bar area facing the eye appealing ceiling to floor enclosed wine rack. I could not have picked a better location for such a special occasion. The server was wonderful, but I forgot her name. My reservation was for 4:45PM.
