Disappointed with how sweet the sauce was as the sauce makes or ruins a meal. More

The best italian cuisine ever. The dishes are amazingly delicious, hot and beyond plentiful. Paolo's use of seafood and mushrooms is extraordinary. The wait staff is social and attentive. They offer a complimentary glass of wine, but you may BYOB if wanted. Make sure to bring your appetite as the portions are quite large. Doggie bags usually accompany us home.... More

A place my friend Donna and I like to go for lunch. They have a good variety of lunch specials during the week and the servings are big, always take a box home with me for another meal. They bring a dessert tray out so you can see what there is to offer. Can't pick a favorite-it's all good! More

Their steak sandwiches are excellent. They are very large in size with good flavor. To sum it up, yummy! More

Staff would not seat our large party (group of 6) for lunch until everyone arrived. Did I mention the restaurant was nearly empty??? After waiting outside, our large party was seated at a table directly in front of the very noisey open kitchen. Loud music blaring from an overhead speaker made it difficult to carry on a normal conversation. Service... More

Paolo and his staff take pride in serving you one of the best Italian dishes from their kitchen. The dipping bread and oils are excellent. The bread is soft with a crisp exterior. I add some salt to my garlic dipping oil....Know that the oil he uses is one of the best I've eaten. It has a hearty flavor. The... More

The service was super....and the food was hot and there was plenty of it! They have a nice variety. The only downside on the last day we visited was the Tiramasu wasn't ready so I couldn't have it for dessert. Overall, a great little find in a shopping center! More

We are never disappointed in the food or service at Paolo's. The seafood and pasta are never overcooked. Even though the regular menu is quite extensive, I usually order one of the many nightly specials they have. Last week's dinner of 2 filets filled with cheese (can't remember the name of the garlic cheese) with a mushroom sauce was a... More
