This was a "work" lunch. I usually come here with Mrs. for dinner. I quickly was reminded why I love Paradiso so much. The service was en pointe. The everyone enjoyed their lunches which ranged from king salmon to their famous rigatoni Bolognese. Erik came by to say hello and thanked us for our service (um, we snuck out of Oakland due to an appointment at our beloved Carlene's T-Shirt Corner for uniform items... but I digress). Anyway, as I have said in other reviews, this is truly San Leandro's Best Kept Secret!

Several large parties (including ours) appeared to tax the staff although the kitchen kept up well at their usual high level of achievement. The restaurant charged my card $20 per person to secure the reservation, and while I have no problem with that, the servers should have known to deduct that amount from the check. I had to bring it to their attention else there would have been a $200 overcharge. Not an insignificant amount in my world.
