The hubby and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. It was our 2nd time here and it's nice to…read morehave a go to date spot in the area. Love that their menu is constantly changing as they outsource all their ingredients from local vendors in the area. So it's nice they offer different selections each time. Although, I would love to have their ribeye entree available all the time. This time around, we order the Stracciatella Cheese for starters and my husband ordered the fresh catch of the day which was scallops over risotto and I ordered the hanger steak. I also ordered the Margarita Fuego cocktail and that was so refreshing. I personally loved the stracciatella cheese. It had sugar snap peas, strawberries, basil, pickled ginger, balsamic, evoo with toasted bread. You think the ingredients would be weird together but it really blended well and tasted so good. As for my Hanger Steak, everything tasted delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back.

Great service, but the execution completely missed the mark. Won't be back…read more The service here was actually really good--the staff was attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the bar and the kitchen just didn't deliver. My Gin & Tonic was a hazard; it was so completely overloaded with peppercorns that I felt like I was chewing my drink and had to spit them out after every sip. For food, the corn elote lacked balance, and the scallops--which arrived swimming in a soup instead of a puree--tasted noticeably off. The chicken parm was entirely forgettable. With these kinds of texture and flavor issues, there's just no attention to detail in the kitchen. Even with great service, we won't be returning.

As someone who grew up Sicilian with my Nanu (grandfather) cooking traditional meals, I can…read morehonestly say Caffe Paradiso captured that same authenticity. The flavors were identical to what I grew up with--simple, rich, and full of love. I finally had the honor of trying it for the first time this past May on my birthday, and it instantly felt like home. Walking past recently and seeing the restaurant completely cleaned out was heartbreaking. I truly hope the owners are doing well, because what they created was something special. If they ever decide to reopen--especially in downtown Brentwood--they would absolutely thrive. People that come to downtown Brentwood appreciate authentic, high-quality food, and at the value Caffe Paradiso offered, they would have completely crushed it. Thank you, Caffe Paradiso, for giving me one unforgettable meal that brought me right back to my roots. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't the end, but just a pause before an incredible comeback.

Tucked away in the heart of Brentwood, Caffe Paradiso is a small spot that delivers a big bite of…read moreflavor. Whether you're out shopping or catching a movie next door, this charming café is a must-visit. The indoor seating is cozy, but their outdoor patio is perfect for larger groups and makes for a great hangout spot. What truly elevates the experience is the warm, attentive service from the owners -- you can tell they care about every guest who walks through their door. We tried their Spaghetti with Meatballs and Pasta Bolognese, and honestly, both were incredible. Their house-made sauce is rich, savory, and absolutely to die for -- it tasted like a meal straight from an Italian grandmother's kitchen. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese brought everything together beautifully. The meatballs? Tender, flavorful, and easily some of the best we've had. It was so good my daughter almost ordered another plate just to take home -- and honestly, I don't blame her. The Bolognese was perfectly balanced, with every bite delivering layers of flavor. With a solid menu and rotating specials, Caffe Paradiso is the kind of place you'll find yourself craving. Brentwood is lucky to have it. Highly recommend -- come hungry.

Stopped by Melo's for a quick lunch after peach picking at brentwood! When we went it wasn't even…read morenoon yet, so the place was pretty empty. We got the brussels sprouts, prosciutto and arugula pizza, four cheese pizza, and the pasta with bolognese sauce +meatballs. The brussels sprouts was what came first.. appetizer! The outer layers of the brussels sprouts was mostly burnt, while the insides were pretty burnt. I can't blame them though, most restaurants can't do brussels sprouts perfectly. I always order brussels sprouts when I see them on a menu, but very few turn out to be very good. Also, be aware that Melo's go heavy on the vinegar on the brussels sprouts. The prosciutto and arugula pizza was a personal favorite, as I am a great fan of arugula.. gotta love that unique sesame taste! My only complaint is that there is not enough prosciutto in the pizza. I have no complaints for the four cheese pizza! It did not disappoint at all! The cheese is really rich and there's a cheese pull for each slice you pull out. Though a cheese pizza appears to be underwhelming, the four cheese pizza here at melo's is perfectly heavy, and you get a different taste from each bite of your slice! On the other hand, the bolognese sauce and meatballs were not bad, but nothing new. Though the add on of meatballs were 7.50$, we only get two meatballs! Pretty pricey to be, especially cause they're nothing special. Maybe even overcooked, cause they were unnecessarily dense. However, thank you Melo's for a generous amount of pasta sauce, and the consistency of the pasta is perfectly al dente. Melo's, not bad at all!

It seemed a little less salty and flavorful than I remembered, but it's still my go-to dish whenever I visit. The Fuji Apple Salad looked really good too, so I'll probably give that a try next time. Service was excellent throughout our visit, and there was plenty of parking available, which made the experience even more convenient. Overall, it was a great dinner, and I'm looking forward to coming back again.

A little on the salty side but tolerable For improvement: 1. The food (main dishes) took a little longer to serve. Luckily we were busy chitchatting and we had our starters served quicker to tie us up while waiting for our main orders. Our food came good so perhaps you can't rush quality anyway. 2. It looks like it's on the pricey side but if the food is good, it should justify that

The ribs were delicious! I ate all my vegetables even though I usually don't, Lol. The mash potatoes were great too! My man ordered Prime Rib Dip Melt and he loved it. He killed it! I would definitely come back. The environment was nice and the vibe was chill.

Downtown Brentwood is gorgeous and we arrived with enough time to walk around and check our storefronts. The location is across from crown and crown bar. We entered and were sat right away. The server was nice but certainly tried to upsell everything. I don't mind that so much. I think where it fell flat was we ordered the filet mignon. Mine was the overcooked by almost two degrees (ordered medium rare and there was zero pink in site). My husband and I ended up switching plates. I had already ordered a second cocktail which did not come until dessert. The server apologize this was overlooked. As someone who has been in the industry, I did not complain. I took my drink and it was nice enough. I found most of the meals lacked seasoning. The herb potato's were okay. The best part was the blueberry cheesecake. That was divine. I don't think we will be back anytime soon with so many great spots in town but if you're looking for a great date night spot, this place is one to add to rotation.

We came here this evening to celebrate a birthday, and from the moment we arrived, everything was amazing. We needed to combine two tables for our group, and they were more than happy to accommodate us without any hassle. Right away, we felt welcomed and at home. The service was exceptional our server was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. We chose to sit outside on the patio, and it was absolutely perfect. The breeze, the atmosphere everything just felt relaxing and enjoyable. Since we had our two young kids with us, I ordered their food right away, and it came out quickly, which I really appreciated (parents know how important that is!). The pizza was perfect not overloaded with sauce, just balanced and delicious. For my meal, I ordered the beef stroganoff, and wow... the flavor was incredible. From the first bite, it was rich, comforting, and full of amazing flavor. My husband had the prime rib and enjoyed every bite as well. We couldn't leave without dessert, and I'm so glad we didn't! We ordered the bananas foster, and it was not only delicious but also such a fun experience our kids absolutely loved the presentation. We paired it with coffee, which was surprisingly so good that I might start coming here instead of my usual coffee spot! The owners were also incredibly welcoming and kind, always attentive and accommodating to their guests. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this place to anyone in town. We'll definitely be back!
