" Sadly, my experience at Paolino was less than stellar. While the restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere, the food was disappointing. I ordered the Chicken Parm, which was bland and certainly not up to my expectations for authentic Italian fare. The service was decent, but not enough to compensate for the lackluster meal. I might give it another chance and try different dishes, but I’m not hopeful. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Paolino a couple of times and overall it has a pleasant atmosphere and decent food. My previous visits were better than my last one, where I found my pasta quite bland. I had the pesto gnocchi, and it could really use more seasoning. My friends enjoyed their meals, so I guess it was just an off day for me. I appreciate the cute decor and the helpful staff, but I hope for more flavor next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to check out Paolino this past weekend, and it was an overall great experience, though not without its faults. The appetizer of calamari was exceptional—lightly breaded and not oily at all. However, the main courses were somewhat hit-or-miss. The lasagna was wonderful, filled with layers of flavors, but the fettuccine lacked the richness we had hoped for. The service was friendly and efficient, and we truly appreciated the attentiveness shown throughout our meal. We’re likely to return and give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely evening at Paolino! The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, and I was instantly impressed by how authentic the dishes felt. I tried the seafood pasta and it was fresh and flavorful, paired with a glass of their house red wine. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes, leaving me satisfied but not overly stuffed. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Definitely a place I will revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Never had a bad meal here! Last week we celebrated my daughter’s birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. The lasagna and tiramisu were especially delicious! We will definitely be regulars here. If you’re looking for a cozy Italian place, this is it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience at Paolino. The food was average at best, and my garlic shrimp pasta was drowning in oil. While the ambiance was inviting, I expected more from what was claimed to be an authentic Italian restaurant. The service was decent, but I was overall left underwhelmed. Not sure if I would return, as there are better options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delight! Celebrating my sister's birthday here was a great choice. The food was flavorsome and hot when served. I recommend the gnocchi in a creamy sauce; however, my only complaint was the dessert selection, which could have had more variety. The atmosphere is quaint yet sophisticated. We left satisfied and happy. " (*Curated Review*)
