Four of us visited on a Saturday night, and it was very busy (staff told us they had a party of 40 in and a couple of other big groups). It is spread over several floors and on ours the tables were very close together, which made it difficult for staff. Our experience was marred for two reasons, firstly too... More

My boyfriend took me out for dinner the other night and chose this restaurant due to the fantastic reviews. The place had a good atmosphere, staff were reasonably attentive and the food was lovely. We both ordered the lamb skewers for our starter, I had the scallops and monkfish for main and he had the liver. Both finished our plates... More

Recently enjoyed a meal for a friends birthday at paradiso as a party of 25. The atmosphere was pleasant and lively although it was a times difficult to have conversation due to the noise from the kitchen as well as the group of men who occasionally chanted loudly on the top floor. Most of us selected from the set menu... More

I visited with my other half using a Hi-Life Diners card which entitled us to a 2-4-1 meal. We were pleasantly surprised to find we could order any dishes we wanted including those on the specials menu, as some places have a lot of restrictions on these offers. You might also worry you will be treat as second class customers... More

Have visited this place several times now and always leave happy. The Paradiso staff are friendly and professional. I took my girlfriend to Paradiso on Valentines day and after delivering some flowers to them in the afternoon, they set up a special table for her as a surprise when we arrived that night.The food is always excellent and at very...

We were a group of 30 people there and we were very well served and the food and drinks were also excellent! It is not easy to handle such a big party and Paradiso staff were very good and helpful. Would recommend and will go again of course!

We decided to try Paradiso after reading reviews on Tripadvisor, and we weren't dissappointed. We arrived early evening on Wednesday 1st May and received a warm welcome. The menu had lots of tempting dishes to chose from, and there were happy hour and special set menus available. We settled on a three course menu for £12.95, the food was delicious... More

We booked a meal to celebrate my new job after being unceremoniously made redundant last year. We definitely made the right choice in booking Paradiso. The staff were the right amount of friendly and the food was delicious. The restaurant was well laid out and was bustling with people. We both ordered from the set menu and had a delicious... More

Veggie hubby and I enjoyed a lazy 2 hour lunch here last weekend. We booked a table for 1.30pm but asked if we could defer this time as we were enjoying a cocktail downstairs- not a problem for the staff. Shown to our table which was rather a tight squeeze, later we were offered a larger table by the doors... More

There was confusion with my order and I received a starter portion of mussels, when actually I wanted a main to eat with my girlfriend who had ordered the sea bass (very Good). This is poor waiting, but easy to fix with better communication and a systematic approach. The waiter should always ask if a customer would like a starter,... More
