Get the Pizza Rustico and take advantage of the complimentary breadsticks. Paolo's has a fantastic ambiance and yummy food but still manages to be reasonably priced. Love!
Paolo's brunch is a best-kept secret. Great mimosas and brunch offerings. Still a go-to for tapenade & breadsticks and their tortellini rose!
Michael ReitterAugust 4, 2015The cheese plate app was really enjoyable. The steak Manzo was tender. Negatives, loud atmosphere, too warm with no AC, and the waitress seemed to have an ice allergy. Overall, enjoyable dinner.
Rachel PritchardAugust 28, 2014They have patio/outdoor seating, along with a few tables in a window that stays open during the nice weather.
The side order of pasta listed under "Vegetables" (?!) is a greasy mess, but the caramelized cauliflower with garlic/shallot/pine nuts rivals Graffiato's cruciferous dish. Next time, I am getting two.
Great brunch and dinner. Menu changes fairly regularly. Have a bellini.
$9 weekend Brunch deal and $13 unlimited Bloody Mary or Mimosa, plus the fantastic service! Nothing could be better!
✅ Kit OliynykSeptember 1, 2013Best bruschetta I've ever had, great service, but no wi-fi. Still a great place overall.
Heloisa Botelho CaparicaOctober 12, 2013Delicious Burrata!!! Try the sea salad and the shimp pasta!!!! Delicious!!
David GuoMarch 6, 2011You must try the fried eggplant appetizer! Light and airy, flavorful, with a really nice zest from the basil. Delicious!
Thea is the best bartender and peoples person ever... Gotta love the hair! She's the one you want to go to! shout Out Thea!!!
Pete and Thea are the best! Stop by the bar and give 'em a holler! And tip them well... not just a 4square tip either!
Best restaurant ever. Staff.is super nice n food is pretty awesome
Noah ChamberlainJune 17, 2017Good service but chicken parm was quite gross and fried calamari tasted like chicken fingers you buy from the supermarket and heat up in the toaster oven
- The watermelon salad is more watermelon than salad, but still good. Not to be confused with an entree.
Can't go wrong with the steak salad! Say hi to Sergio, JC and Fabiano for me ;) the best
Dave JoySeptember 1, 2011If you're in town on a Wed, do a bottle of vino for half price. My fav appetizer is the Tortallini.
Jaamal BMarch 23, 2011The black female bartender wit the Afro is the best. I 4get her name but she is super nice. Tip her well!!
Vicky is the best bartender! Chicken caesar wrap dominates.- Vicki and Thea are the best behind the bar... in no particular order. Tip them well!
Get Jenn's Minestrone it is the Best in gtwn...Team Faded approved
...May 22, 2013A resturant which doesn't care about satisfying their customers & doesn't care about clean food& they have really rude managers who disrespect customers even when you find a hair in your plate !!!!
Mayu !!! Mayu !!! Mayu !!! Its like she can read my mind and always knows what drink i want and when...love her
Sam ReynoldsJuly 26, 2013Food wasn't worth the money we paid for it, and the server wasn't very accommodating when we told her we weren't satisfied with our meals. Wouldn't go out of my way to go there again.
Vicky makes incredible margaritas, and she's a real sweetheart.
Mayu is the best bartender - very personable and attentive.- ...May 22, 2013Really poor managment ! Managers were really rude ! When you see a hair in your plate they just ginna say : it can happen ! Accidents happen ! Just pay your bill !! Was really rude & bad experience !
