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!

The 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.

They 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!

Best bruschetta I've ever had, great service, but no wi-fi. Still a great place overall.

You must try the fried eggplant appetizer! Light and airy, flavorful, with a really nice zest from the basil. Delicious!

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!

Good 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

Sangria with sour cherries and hanging out with the mayor (of Paolos!)

The watermelon salad is more watermelon than salad, but still good. Not to be confused with an entree.

If you're in town on a Wed, do a bottle of vino for half price. My fav appetizer is the Tortallini.

Get wine by the 10oz glass. For most wines, it's cheaper than a bottle.

Vicki and Thea are the best behind the bar... in no particular order. Tip them well!

A 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 !!!!

Thea is the best bartender. Tip her well!!! She deserves it.
Sam ReynoldsJuly 26, 2013
Food 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.
