    This is our third time dining here at Caffe Paradiso and they will now be in our regular rotation of restaurants. Why? Excellent Italian cuisine! Excellent service! Local not chain restaurant! We first started off with our appetizer which was a smoked salmon slices with olive oil, capers, onions and toasted bread points. Great flavor! My wife had the chicken Parmesan with grilled chicken instead of breaded and marinara sauce. She said it was the best chicken parm she has ever had! I had the crabmeat linguine pasta with marinara and I believe olive oil. This was excellent too and was very flavorful . The food here is such a departure from the “regular” Italian restaurants with a variety of entrees and appetizers! For dessert, we had the Limoncello cake which was nice and light. Service. Hugo was our server and he was excellent! He knew the menu and made great recommendations. And something else, you don’t see in many restaurants here in Tampa and that is the constant attention to the table. From the filling of water glasses to ALL the service staff and I believe the owner/manager constantly making sure our table was clean of used dishes and silverware to the cleaning of the table with the bread crumbs tool. Talk about a First Class restaurant! We will be back! Thanks Caffe Paradiso!
