    It was once again excellent. Love the food, love the staff and love the always changing experience. Each member of the waitstaff are incredible and each time we look forward to who we will get to share another wonderful evening. We both had the filets and still do not understand how every time the filets are so tasty and tender. Fernando will not give away the secret but they are fantastic. Next visit we will try someone new on the menu as there is still much to explore. Thanks again to our friends at Rimini we will be back soon.

    We went on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious, we liked everything we ordered. Even the frite dipping sauce was amazing. Service was friendly and prompt. We ended up not sitting outside, but if you do, it seemed pretty chilly out there.

    Another wonderful Christmas Eve at Paradiso. I had the Osso Buco special and it was delicious. Hubby had the swordfish special and was pleased. Our dear friend had the lasagna and loved it. Mom had the pasta in pink sauce with artichokes and was thrilled with her choice.

    Friendly as we walked through the door. Service was decent and friendly. The dinning area is somewhat small and adds to sound within the room.
