Cafe Paradiso was almost the first great coffee shop along this very trendy shopping precinct. Although there are several contenders for the best coffee now - Cafe Paradiso has had lots of practice More

Great for celebrations with the hockey team. Lots of yummy pasta dishes, and food comes quick once you've ordered. Usually best to book. More

We're from Sydney & eat out regularly. This cafe has a nice atmosphere if you're seated out doors & no one rushes you to finish quickly which is nice. Food was very tasty. Service was non existant however. No one really cared if we were there either way so no tipping, thats for sure! 2 waiters to service the whole... More

Has been around a long time and continues to provide an easy venue for a quick bite after work or coffee on the weekend. More

Unfortunately I have eaten better quality food at a much more modest price. I've attempted to try again because I live in the local area, but I avoid it now. More

My friend and I have brunch here on occasion (it's a bit too pricey for lunch). The best seats are outside on the patio, although you have to order inside. The food is always excellent, and the staff never push you out when a planned one hour brunch turns into a three hour coffee well past midday. More

The food's not bad, but portion sizes aren't huge and quite expensive. There's not too many cafes in Adelaide that charge nearly $30 for a veal scaloppine dish. The restaurant itself doesn't have a lot of atmosphere. Big long counters with bright lights beaming out and small pokey rooms. There's no table service. Food and wine has to be ordered... More

I have been dining here since time began so after a hundred or so meals at Cafe Paradiso I officially declare it as 'average'. Outdoors is a people watching spot, albeit very dated and a little grubby. Indoors is nothing spectacular and it has changed little over 20 or so years, other than to become dated. Food is 'average'.

If you want a great Marinara this is the best in Adelaide. The service is fast and the is fresh. Finally a place that makes pasta just like my Nonna. More

overpriced meals. Pasta ranging from $25-32 should guarantee a good meal with fresh ingredients. Just walk in either direction down king william rd and you will be happier. tortellini alla panna (a poor choice by me) tasted worthy of a fast food chain. Cotaletta reggiana - meat was tough. i was starving and left half my meal and went home... More
