" I would recommend Paolo's only if you're looking for a casual night out. The food is average — nothing really stood out flavor-wise. I’ve had better Italian elsewhere. The service was somewhat slow, but the environment was nice enough. It had its moments, but overall I think I can find a better dining experience elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is exactly what we needed! I came here with my family during the holidays, and it felt festive without being overwhelming. The eggplant parmesan was the star of my meal, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The portions were generous; I actually took some home for lunch the next day! Our server was friendly and prompt, and I can't wait to return for more. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about this place, I finally visited, and it was phenomenal! The spaghetti carbonara was fantastic, rich, and creamy without being too heavy. Service was swift despite being busy, which is impressive. I would definitely recommend to friends and family looking for authentic dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to Paolo's for a casual dinner, and we all enjoyed our meals. I had the shrimp scampi, which had great flavor, though it could have used a touch more garlic, in my opinion. The service was decent, and the ambience was relaxing. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone craving Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" A decent place with average food. I wouldn’t say it’s authentic Italian, but rather a blend of American and Italian dishes. The service had its ups and downs – at one point, our server forgot about our appetizer for almost 30 minutes. I’d visit again, but not as my go-to Italian restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been here multiple times and usually have a great experience, but my last visit was frustrating. We waited over an hour for our orders, and the food was lukewarm at best. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, and it just didn’t taste fresh. I mentioned this to the staff, but they seemed indifferent. I'm hoping to give it another try because I’ve enjoyed dining here in the past. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, my friends and I had dinner at Paolo's, and it was a mixed bag. While the waitress was friendly and attentive, my meal was served cold and needed to be reheated, which doesn’t reflect well on the kitchen. The ravioli had great flavor, but the overall experience was marred by the lateness of service. I hope they can improve on those details – I’d give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)
