Visited for the first time this week. We just walked in on a whim as we were coming back from a lakefront stroll looking for a restaurant with a nice patio for a quiet dinner on my husband's birthday. We didn't have a reservation but were seated promptly at a wonderful table on the patio. The menu was perfect for us with lots of variety (both meat and vegetarian). Everything we ordered was very tasty. Our server was warm and friendly and helped make our evening extra special (with our thanks for the menu tips and the slice of birthday cake!). We don't live in the area but will definitely plan to return whenever we are nearby.

I went with my family on Saturday night (20220402) after a reservation. There were some free empty tables around us.The service level was average~low.We were advised that for some of the plates in the menu there were only two or three available.The food was good but not impressive.

We were a big group dining here. The salads are to die for?? and so were the mains and desserts. I highly recommend the flourless chocolate cake dessert! It was sooo good that we asked for its recipe & surprisingly, they gave a print out to some of us! The food quality and presentation was excellent!

I ordered takeout for our 39th anniversary. I wanted to surprise my wife, who was coming back from church. I had arranged for a 5:45 pickup, only to discover that I had put 6:45 into my order instead. No worries, they would try to get it done as quickly as possible. They did a fantastic job, and I still managed to get home in time to set up the dining room with the food and candles. Thanks to the gang at Paradiso.

Covid restrictions forced us to get takeout - it was delicious! We got the Butternut Squash Salad, the Moroccan Chicken, and the Chocolate Torte. Everything was beautifully prepared and cooked. Highly recommend.

Good Italian restaurant. Service was good and waiting staff was polite. Calamari was to die for.

Went to Paradiso for dinner on December 12 and it was amazing! Every dish I ate was fantastic. Appetizer was the baked Brie, dinner was the Italian sausage rigatoni and for dessert the salted caramel pecan tart. Great service as well. Frank was our waiter and he was very personable and attentive. Frank made the experience that much better!

What an amazing place. I started my meal with grilled calamari arugula salad. Absolutely fantastic, I would go back just for that alone. Tender calamari, fresh arugula, and the dressing balanced between creamy and tangy was spot on. Our group shared the phyllo baked brie which was amazing. My main was the braised short rib, on top of velvety mashed potatoes, absolutely delicious. On a cold night that was comforting and delicious. My plate was clean ?. We were a group of 11 and everyone was extremely pleased with their meals. My dessert was the pecan tart which finished the meal perfectly. I look forward to my next visit.

Outdoor dining area is a nice little space, but when we arrived to a very empty patio, we were directed to the last table available for 2, at the end of the main patio, which was the most exposed to the sun and right next to a large flower pot. So we had frequent company during our meal, a number of curious bees stopping by to offer their opinion on our selections. It was a bit disappointing not to be offered one of the entirety empty tables for 4 in the shade, only to see anther pair seated at one minutes after our arrival - I can understand waiting to keep bigger tables for bigger groups, but it didn't say a lot for the manager's interest in our experience and comfort. Nadine, our server, was lovely, decent quality dishes to be expected of a restaurant in this category.

I’ve walked by it so many times and eventually my friend and I decided to have lunch on a sunny day. Food is very good, we both like them. The chocolate desert is especially impressive. Will be back again.
