Caffé e Cucina opened on August 16th 1988, with the aim of recreating the great restaurants in the most famous cities all over Italy.

"Produzione Artigianale” means strong attention to detail and passion for our culture.A wide selection of wines, freshly baked bread on arrival and top quality extra virgin olive oil will never be missing.The warm welcoming atmosphere, the thick accents and the genuine flavours are perfectly blended, casting a spell that transports you straight to Italy.We have always been driven by the clear and ambitious intention to provide great traditional food, attentive yet friendly service and all around consistency.

This was a return visit to Cafe Paradiso as we enjoyed it last visit. It did not disappoint this time either. My Salmon was cooked very well my friends truffle risotto gave her a great truffle fix! It could have been presented a little better maybe a bit of garnish. The staff Kelly, Miles, Kim were very good and attentive. Unfortunately I forgot to ask our host what his name is, my apologies, but he has been with CP for some time and runs the show expertly. I recommend this place and will be back.
