It tasted fine but I prefer a thicker sauce. The steak tidbit was tender and delicious. However, I have to agree with other reviews, the portions of pasta and steak were very small. The bar seams to have a following. Service, even by Joey, was attentive and friendly.

This quaint and cozy establishment served us fresh food and excellent service! From the Mother's Day menu we both chose the shrimp/clam over linguine with white wine/garlic/oil. A glass of wine for me and Signature Cocktail Lemonade Refresher for him. We shared a mixed berry sorbet for dessert. The placed was packed with other mothers and their families celebrating the day. Barbara our server was friendly and efficient. We never felt crowded or rushed. The noise level was muted, we did not have to shout at each other to be heard. A thoughtful choice for a nationwide celebration. One that will certainly pay it forward, I will be returning soon. I highly recommend you plan a visit..... Thank me later

Our second time here since reopening, the first time we walked out without even being served. We…read moresat at the bar tonight and it was filthy, the bartender did finally clean it. We ordered baked clams and the eggplant stack, which was one of our favorites. The baked clams was so overcooked they were shriveled up little hockey pucks we gave it back and told him to take it off the bill. The eggplant stack came out and looked like they had some leftover pieces of eggplant that they threw on a plate added a slice of tomato on a slice of mozzarella and drizzled some balsamic vinegar over, just completely unacceptable and no taste. This being a local restaurant I really hope they get their act together.

Now let's talk about the food, the tower of salad and cheese with prosciutto was well dressed. Tortelli soup hit the spot as a summer soup that included summer squash and zucchini. The carbonara needs some works, it was too soupy/watery. I really enjoyed the almond chicken. I'm not sure if was gluten free (I don't need gluten free) but if it was, this was an excellent option. They also had gluten free options for pasta.

I went to Gran Paradiso this past Sunday. The food the last time we came was good, so we gave it…read moreanother try. It is a clean space with an older facing crowd. The server had an attitude the second he came over to us, it wasn't too busy just yet so unsure what his demeanor was about. He told us the specials and walked away. We ordered the fried calamari which came out in a timely manner. After that when we placed our entree order the server didn't come back to ask if we needed refills on anything. The entrees took a lot longer than expected. A table that came in 15 min after us got their food very fast. Once we got our entrees they were good, the food is consistently yummy here. But again our server did not come to see if we needed anything after the entrees were dropped at the table. I had the pasta with clams, it was good but lacked a flavor in the sauce. The calamari was great, crispy and flavorful. And the gnocchi bolognese was good as well, very ricotta leaning. Over all it was good but the waiter put a bad taste in one of my guests mouth which was disappointing. Overall I would give Gran paradiso another shot because they have good Italian but not rushing there due to the service.
