   Restaurant was very busy which is awesome for Paradiso! Though busy the entire staff was very attentive, friendly, and professional! The manage (or could he have been the owner) came by twice to ask how we were doing. The food was excellent! I have always had good experiences at Paradiso which is why I keep coming back! Keep up the great job! Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

   We came specially because my 10 year old has been wanting to have their bananas fosters bread pudding. It was my Valentines gift to her. We had a reservation for 3 but my husband was called to work so it was just me and my girl. Maybe because of this there seemed to be a lack of attention to our table. When brought water we were the only ones around that the bottle was not left for. Later in the dinner I asked for more water which was never brought. We also asked for bread which was never brought. Our food came fast. My daughter had linguine with marinara and I had the bolognese. It was delicious but it did take a while for the water to come nearby and I had to flag him down when he walked past to ask for some Parmesan for my daughter. The pasta dishes were absolutely delicious. My daughter and I both cleaned our plates. The bananas fosters bread pudding as usual did not disappoint. Overall it was a really good dining experience because of the food. But I have had better service from the establishment before.

   My experience was very good. Got there early and they were able to accommodate us with a seating area to enjoy a glass of wine. Shortly after that, we were seated. Considering how busy they were that night. Our server did a phenomenal job attending us. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food and great service.

   I love this restaurant. The food is delicious, but the portions for he Valentine’s Day dinner and the table were too small making it uncomfortable to eat. I will not be going on this day again , but definitely on a different day.

   We came for Valentine's Day and had a prix fixe dinner for 2 and it was great! Each course was excellent with lots of seafood. The crab & avocado app was a huge pile of fresh avocado and crab. The amuse bouche was a shot of creamy lobster bisque. The crab ravioli was in a super tasty sauce with big raviolis stuffed full of crab chunks. The surf & turf main had a giant 12 oz lobster tail that had just a bit of nice char on it from the brick oven. The steak was a nice little filet though it was more medium than the medium rare that we actually ordered (in fact, the steak was the least good item at dinner!). Dessert was a nice, super light chocolate lava cake with a sugar cookie and vanilla ice cream on the side. We also got a couple cocktails which were super tasty. One was a rum & campari & pineapple drink that had great flavors. The other was a dirty martini with the Roquefort stuffed olives. Both were quite good, though maybe a bit pricer than they should have been. The ambiance was nice, especially for Valentine's Day. Each table got a long stem rose and each person got a complimentary glass of champagne. The service was a bit slow at times, but overall not bad.

   This restaurant was highly recommended as I wanted to purchase a gift certificate for friends. Since they would not allow me to purchase the GC over the phone, & restaurant is not in my area, I made lunch reservations so it would be worth trip (from SM coast). We went at 11:30, just as they opened. Food was very good but service was incredibly slow. People who arrived after received their food before we did. It was Valentines, so perhaps that affected pace of service. In any event, that was only negative we experienced. I do believe a phone or online option to purchase GCs may be beneficial to all.

   Had a fantastic birthday dinner for my husband and early Vday dinner at Paradiso. The food was great, the service was great even though they were very busy, and they even noted that I put on the reservation that we were celebrating my husbands birthday and brought us a dessert at the end. Really great overall and will be back!

    Paradiso always pleases. The food is in a class by itself. The pasta is an amazing and the meats are done to perfection. What really stands out is their service. The restaurant staff makes every effort to accommodate and please their diners. I give Paradiso the highest praise for food, ambience and service.
