This is by far the best restaurant in Redding! Very quaint, super attentive server, and you just can't beat this place!

Great food and service. My wife had Chicken Marsala with a house salad and wine. I had seared scallops and a side salad. We both had crème brûlée for desert. The service is excellent. The down sides are it's rather old and worn and very noisy. It was difficult to have a conversation. read more

This local gem is on DoorDash and their take out food is just as yummy as their dine in. Some staple favorites are the Chicken Marsala with sun dried tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes, a nice twist to the classic recipe, the pork gnocchi, gnocchi in house made, the scallops, whatever that sauce is on top is oooooh so delish, and if they have it available, you must try the fish specials!! We usually end our meals with some locally made Sorbet or creme brûlée. Starters to try: ahi wontons and Mac and cheese. The waitress is as pretty on the inside as she is on the out and the chef is talented and kind. Honestly I can't rave enough about this place, it's our local favorite and every time we leave, were soon talking about how we can't wait till the next visit. read more

This amazing restaurant is operated by a husband and wife team. We had a fantastic experience. My husband took me to eat here for my birthday and we were blown away. The food was prepared so well. Everything we had was delicious. For starters, my husband had the bone marrow. Which he loved! I had the scallop dish which was out of this world. He had the ahi tuna dish. For dessert...the crème brûlée which was the perfect ending! The owner waited on us and she was so warm and friendly. She really made an awesome food experience even better. I highly recommend you try this little hidden gem. We will be back!!! read more

Cute little bistro in downtown Redding with a fun menu, quality food, and excellent service. I had the Chicken Marsala and it was delish. It's a small place so I'd recommend reservations. read more

Had my family birthday dinner at cafe paridisio. They were out of Italian soda refills, didn't offfer a substitute so had to ask mid meal. Ordered bread and they brought it out plain..had to ask for the oil to go with it. My main dish was chicken Marsala. Very salty and wasn't a fan of the sauce. Hubs ordered elk burger. The bun was soggy. Fries good though. No birthday desert or singing. Took about 45 minutes to prepare food. 1/10 experience. Pretty disappointed for a $250 tab for 5 adults. Definitely won't be back. read more

Seared ahi bowl was delicious, and I wish I could make Brussels sprouts like Cafe Paradisio...the small sprouts and fresh ingredients made all the difference! read more

I love this place. Everything I have tried has been delicious. Wonderful ambience. Kinda slow service, but worth the wait! I'll be back

Don't read the rest of the review just go !!! My dad is French and absolutely loved the duck.

My wife and I had dinner here tonight and I have to say, one of the best meals I've ever had. We split the ribeye and salmon entree's and had an amazing meal. Highly recommend this restaurant. Great job!!!!! read more

We went there at the advice of a friend and weren't disappointed! Our server was so nice, the ambiance was pleasant and the food was Fantastic. Hubby is a vegetarian and he said the 4-cheese lasagna was exceptional. I never order chicken because it is usually dry but nope, this was great, moist and SO tasty! The penne pasta was wonderful too. The servings were so plentiful 2 of us had leftovers to take home. Loved it. read more

A wonderful bistro/cafe experience that holds the small town values in the heart of Redding, while serving up fresh cuisine that takes you outside of the cities traditional roots. The small 25-40 capacity cafe in downtown Redding welcomes its customers to enjoy fresh tastes of California inspired cuisine with food options of many varieties. The "Zen Bowl" feat a seared Ahi Tuna filet won over my pallet quickly with a choice of three or four house made sauces, leaving me feeling full and satisfied while knowing the offerings were very healthy. If you haven't tried out Paradisio yet, plan a date night, prepare for some dark and modern art vibes while you enjoy excellent customer service. THE BEST RESTAURANT IN REDDING. read more

Pricy but delicious. I hadn't had anything I haven't absolutely loved. The lasagna is just like my homemade and the veggies are cut to just the right size and sautéed to perfection. I haven't been able to get a seat in the restaurant so we order from DD when we want to celebrate. read more

This is our favorite place in Redding! Chef Michael is always switching up the menu and his dishes are too notch! His food is delicious but also slightly daring and just coring within the lines. And his housemade gelatos are always a delight! And Amber is the beat server in town! We love them, and so does everyone we send there! read more

Our second venture to this fine establishment and it definitely was *worth* it. The ladies enjoyed the gnocchi, the gents had the chicken marsala and the pork linguini -- all excellent. (we saw the "short" ribs and they looked great! and not short at all ...) read more

Appearances can be deceiving. If I hadn't seen a story on the wall that this was it's 6th year of business I would have thought it was still in the stage of trying to get things right. While the ambiance is upscale the food didn't turn out to be. The baked Brie was over baked and melted flat on the plate. My Pesto Penne Pasta was, in reality, an Alfredo with dried basil was mixed in. Sadly the Alfredo was over ladled into the pasta so it was soupy thickened with clumps of Parmesan. read more

Another one! Meant to leave a 5 star review last week when my wife had the marinated beef cheeks and I had the chicken marsala. But no, tonight was even better! Wife had the halibut and Mom and I had pork spare ribs. Dad had the cheese lasagna, all delicious! Bubble stash beer was on point and they have a good selection of wine to pair with whatever entre you get. This place is a hidden gem and Amber and her husband really know how to treat their guests. Go here and get the halibut, you wont be dissapointed! Try the brie appetizer with the bacon jam, straight fire!! Thanks you CP, be there again soon! read more

Middle of the road restaurant for me. There were some great things and some kinda Meh things. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The beet salad was good. The scallops were just okay, I didn't enjoy it being paired with the bacon hash, it was just too heavy for a side. It was pretty hot inside the restaurant, I was sweating in my dress. I know it's turning summer in Redding but I don't really want to sweat through a meal when I'm dining out. I feel bad for the kitchen staff, they're probably roasting back there. :-( I might try this spot again at some point, but not in a hurry to. read more

Wonderful local treasure. Happened upon while traveling through and so happy we did. Everyone's food choices were amazing and the service was outstanding! Will definitely make a point to stop in again when in the area. read more

What absolutely gem of a restaurant! We got the Choice ribeye and halibut. We started our with the focaccia bread which is my favorite bread period. Then our meals which left me speechless. read more

This place is well worth seeking out! Enjoyed the grilled Peach salad and my partner thought his chicken Marsala was the best! The focaccia was fab! Nice wine selection. Most importantly, service was attentive and lovely. Very glad we came and highly recommend! read more

I had such an unfortunately poor experience here tonight, and it really bummed me out because I honestly believe it's the best food in Redding. My friend and I went for dinner, we ordered mac & cheese and a steak entrée to share. We made it very clear we were sharing. Our salads were fine. Our appetizer was fine but when our entree came out it was just on one big plate. We reminded our sever we were sharing and they brought us out an appetizer plate. A little tiny one. And they just plopped it on the table and walked away. For a dinner that expensive couldn't you have split it for us? Once that was all dealt with, we realize we only had one steak knife, we asked for another one repeatedly it was never brought to us, and eventually my friend had to walk up to the front and ask for one. We were ignored for quite a while, and by the end of the dinner, I felt the need to voice my displeasure with the service. I asked the waitress for a manager and she said I am the manager. I said OK how about an owner? She said my husband and I are buying it right now. I said OK is there anyone here I can talk to? Her husband came out, called me a liar, and proceeded to yell at me in front of the entire dining room. It was really awful. If these are the new owners that I am done, my tolerance for being treated that poorly is zero. What a shame, because, like I said, it is some of the best food in Reading. read more

My husband and I were passing through town on our way to Washington State. We are following a paleo diet so I was searching for a restaurant that had some dishes we could eat. Their food was amazing. Hats off to the chef and the staff. We started with the crab cakes, followed by the pomegranate salad, scallops and the pork chop. Such great food and the service was excellent!! read more

Loved the grilled peach salad!! So unique and tasty! Loved the ribeye dinner and the cauliflower fritto too. You might call it Art for the taste buds!! read more

Our hotel recommended Cafe Paradisio and we are so glad. The service was great and the food was superb. My husband had the chicken Marsala and I tasted it, too. We both agreed it was perfect and the pasta perfectly al dente. I had the papardelle bolognese and it was the best I've ever eaten. Also paired with the recommended mouton cadet French wine --so good. Beet salad also amazing. This restaurant is a little gem. You'd never suspect such excellence from its unimposing storefront entry. But it is altogether charming, with wonderful food. read more

I was excited to go to Cafe Paradisio with the hope of a newfound favorite Italian restaurant in Redding. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. It seems most restaurants in Redding cater to one - greasy, fried food. Italian food is beautiful and simplistic with flavors that don't need to be overdone if made using the right methods and ingredients. I really wish restaurant owners would hold true to authentic cultural cuisines. There are some of us that appreciate the variety of flavors on our palettes and being taken to another culture/country through dishes. read more

The best hidden secret in downtown Redding! Make reservations for dinner one night and you'll know why. If your a snobby food critic who leaves bad reviews on Yelp instead of reaching out to the owners... stay away, you dont belong there. ps. My apologies for not posting a pic... my food vanished before i could read more

Cafe Paradisio is hands down the best restaurant in Redding! It is my go to when people visit from out of town.

Beautiful food! Great service! Highly recommend! The short ribs were delicious and the panna cotta was gorgeous. Thanks for having us. read more

I saw these reviews that complained of the waitress but I could not disagree more. We came here at 8 thinking it closes at 10, but it actually closes at 9. She made sure we weren't sure and the chef himself came into make sure we had our food accommodations correct! Additionally the food was AMAZING! I loved the Chicken Marsala read more

Wow, wow and wow! Had dinner with my fiancé and I can't not express enough how Fantastic the food is here! The waitress and there was only was one. So sweet and she was moving not only taking orders but also busing the tables but yet had time to have small conversations with all the tables. We didn't feel rushed at all. Now I'm a stage 4 Tonsillar Cancer Survivor and I have very little taste but I could taste my entire dinner I was almost I tears. I had the Ahi Bowl, not sure what rub the chef is using on the Ahi but oh my gosh I savored every bite! Kudos to this team! Excellent service and food! We will be back read more

I went to dinner with my family as we have many times to this establishment... this time we experienced something horrible... the chef Mike was screaming at a young teenage female waitress in a very threatening manner! I have never witnessed something like this while dining, my husband almost intervened because it was that bad.. as a parent It broke my heart to hear... not sure what type of owner/management would allow such a thing... It has always been good food and service but we won't be returning after seeing that... I feel horrible for that young girl, nobody should ever have to work in that type of environment.. read more

Went here tonight with a group of 9. Be prepared to pay 25% gratuity that they don't tell you about. There was only one waitress for the entire restaurant, although she was nice and friendly, how attentive could she be for that kind of mandatory tip? The food was mediocre, salmon was dry and no sauce. The Zen bowls were good and the curry good too but very overpriced. it was $160 for salmon and curry and a cheap bottle of white wine and the 25% gratuity. There are better places in Redding for that kind of money. I'm not sure why it has such high reviews. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Every time we are in Redding we will be sure to stop by here. We discovered the place about 2 years ago when we were passing through and had the most amazing dinner. This time when we got into town, we knew for sure where we were having dinner! We booked a reservation earlier that day and were able to get a table. Highly recommend booking a reservation. This is a small family owned business with beautiful ambiance has the most amazing chef who cooks up the most high quality dishes. I enjoyed the scallops which were absolutely top notch. My wife had the short ribs and she enjoyed them very much. They made up a special pesto rigatoni pasta with big meatballs for our child. I cannot begin to tell you how amazing the food was. Wonderful presentation and the portion sizes were perfect! The level of customer service we received was absolutely great! Service was second to none! read more

This small restaurant is a gem. It is my favorite date night spot in Redding. The food is perfectly prepared, and the menu is creative. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is sophisticated but without pretense. read more

I finally got to eat at this place. Our theater group booked the place. We were asked to order 2 days ahead of time. Hmmmm? We did. My wife had the elk burger, I had lasagne. A woman across from me had the duck breast. Lots of variety around the table. My lasagne was poor. almost no noodles. Mostly runny sauce. My wife's elk burger might have been good. Too much bacon and other things. Lots of cheese on the fries. Overall the prices are a bit high, the service is poor. They needed 2 servers to give good service to a completely full place. I am not likely to go back. read more

Loooove! Such delicious food, cute hidden gem. Server Katie was on top of it, she was extremely helpful with our dietary needs. Thoughtful and accommodating. Shout out to the kitchen for cooking this amazing meal for our 10 year anniversary dinner. I will return next time we come to Redding! read more
