Paolo's Italian Kitchen

I was in town for work, so I found this place next to my hotel. I didn't have a wonderful meal like this in years, usually something is done when I look, but not this time. The Entree, Pinot, Soup, Music (Sinatra), Lighting? It was all I like. The room was simple, open, but clean. Mikey, my server, gave the right amount of attention and was lighthearted enough to make my evening better. The tomatoes basil soup was so rich and creamy that my taste buds could not believe what I used. I can't wait to come back.

It was a wonderful time for myself, my girlfriend, and our friend. The food was phenomenal. The only issue I had was, portion size. The chicken parmesan had a nice amount of chicken, but lacked a bit on the spaghetti. I would definitely go again though

Food is good. Atmosphere not so much. For the price I'd prefer to spend my money elsewhere. We went here to celebrate my daughter getting her license after hearing many great things. We got really dressed up and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. The building needs a refresh for sure. As soon as we walked in the smell of mildew hit us and we immediately knew we made a mistake. Our service seemed to be on the level I'd expect from a regular casual restaurant. Our table was extremely wobbly and when I went to fix it, there was already a napkin under there which to me means they knew this table was defective but chose to leave it, while I was investigating the napkin the very helpful bus boy came over and proceeded to place another napkin under the leg, again confirming that they know the table is no good. I had my expensive cocktail spill everywhere because of the table.These issues among a few others really made us scratch our heads as to why so many people rave about this establishment. My suggestion is to go for some ok decent food but don't expect much as far as an experience. Maybe they were just having an off night but that was our experience.

Their marinara sauce is the best! Great service. We had the fettuccine chicken pasta, 4 cheese ravioli, lasagna, house salad and asparagus ??

Very let down. After looking at the reviews, I decided this is where my wife and I would have dinner for our fifth anniversary. The server we had was great. The sweet tea was the best I've had in a while, and the drinks from the bar were really good. Ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. And that's the end of the compliments. Calamari was a bit rubbery, the ceaser salad was watery and even had a complete romaine root end. The salmon picatta dish my wife had was slightly undercooked, noodles overcooked, the entire dish tasted of the char on the salmon, and came with a red sauce that did not taste or resemble a lemon cream sauce. The side of risotto was so overcooked that it could almost pass as mashed potatoes. My chicken marsala did not have what you would expect in marsala. No cream in the sauce. It basically tasted like a very sweet marinara, was a very thin sauce, and had a border of oil. We were very excited to go, and now feel as if olive garden would have been a better choice. Was surprised a manager didn't come over after I voiced my displeasure with the server. Now we may go back for drinks, but not likely for food.
