We stopped by here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was empty but the bartender gave us a warm greeting so we took some seats at the bar. The restaurant had a good cozy feel about as well as a pleasing decor. And, one look at the menu with its Italian specialties let me know I was in the right place. So many great dishes such as Parmagina Reggiano a Gamboroni with sautéed shrimp with spinosini pasta, and a lobster or short rib ravioli, just to name a few. We started off with a couple rum and Sprite cocktails which were of a very good pour. Then, I went for their gazpacho. Though I like mine more chunky and theirs was more of a puree, that is a matter of personal taste but flavor isn't, and their gazpacho flavor was dead on delicious. For my entree I had their Veal Scaloppini di Vitello which was a total lemony veal delight. read more

Paradiso Ristorante - Three pastas chefs suggestion - Italian Near Me - Lake Worth, Florida

My husband and I went for dinner here on a Saturday night. Not crowded, but not employ either. The place is pretty, light and elegant. The menu is pretty pricey, so I was expecting a mind blowing meal. Unfortunately, my mind was not blown. I found that the service was lacking. While our server was friendly, he was also difficult to find. We felt a little ignored and sat with empty glasses for some time. Also, my shrimp dish was overcooked. I was excited to dig into some colossal shrimp but disappointed when cutting into them and realizing they were hard and rubbery. Overcooking shrimp ruins the dish and was not expected at these prices. The fresh pasta that came with it was good. My husband's scallops were nice, but the risotto was bland. Not a lot of flavor in these dishes. Overall disappointing and overpriced. Probably won't be back, despite the sophisticated aesthetic. read more

Paradiso Ristorante - Scallops on risotto, shrimp on squid ink pasta - Italian Near Me - Lake Worth, Florida

It was boss lady's birthday so we decided to come here for lunch. We usually sit inside because who wants to melt in the Florida heat. It was national burger day but they were out of the bison burger that I've never seen on the menu before so I went with a familiar option, Tagliata di Manzo. The steak is always cooked to perfection and I love the fresh shaved parmesan. Our amazing waiter brought out different dessert options for us to share. Tiramisu, limoncello tart, apple strudel and my absolute favorite - chocolate mousse cake. The limoncello was a bit too bitter for me and the strudel just tastes like apple pie but I could not put the fork down on the mousse. read more

Went in for the three course lunch. Food was mid at best. Caesar salad and calamari appetizers were very good. Carbonara was awful. It was swimming in a puddle of oil and it was flavorless. Carbonara is supposed to be made with egg yolks in the sauce and is supposed to be creamy however there were small chunks of cooked egg whites in the pasta. The pistachio branzino was just okay, the veggies had no flavor. We did not get to choose dessert, 2 different items came out from the kitchen for us. Was disappointed that we were not given options to choose from but instead they were picked for us. I asked for the left over calamari to be put in a to-go box and they gave me the lemon wedge but did not give the sauce. Waiters were very nice and friendly. read more

Paradiso Ristorante - Carbonara pasta - Italian Near Me - Lake Worth, Florida

Had a lovely date night here with the hubby. The reputation of Paradiso precedes it, and I have long wanted to try this well established Lake Ave gem. There is plenty of indoor seating and it was fairly easy to snag a reservation, and honestly didn't need one as it was very quiet even on a Saturday night. Our waiter was polite and attentive , and the food was excellent...if not a little small in portion (at least mine was). I ordered the beet tortelloni with veal and porcini mushrooms in cream sauce and it was so rich in flavor, I wish I had ordered the larger portion as it was over too soon. My husband had the scallops in risotto which was equally fantastic and I think, a better deal for your money. Prices are $$$ so expect to drop a pretty penny. The grilled octopus appetizer was perfectly cooked. We enjoyed every bite. The chocolate soufflé was good, but I probably could have done without as I was already so full. Worth a try if you are looking for a dinner to impress without the crowds. read more

5 Stars for everything...food, service, ambiance...best food in Florida. That is all you need to know.

Got sat as soon as we arrived. 10 minutes in, served bread - no menus yet. Had to ask for water. Menus received 20 minutes in. Waiter blamed wait on 2 large parties however restaurant was more than half empty. Also got sat right next to the bathroom despite there being many other available seats. Food came out at a decent time. It was okay taste wise. Nothing extraordinary and definitely not worth the crazy prices. I got octopus which was 4 tiny pieces and some greens sprinkled on it. Dessert was actually vile. Pretty sure it was stale too. Pistachio cake - please just take it off the menu. Overall, would not revisit. read more

We ate dinner here tonight, and I found the dining room to have a slightly foul odor. My shrimp dish ($58) was less than satisfying; the shrimps were bland, underseasoned and had an unpleasant aftertaste, reminiscent of dishwater. It was accompanied by a dark colored pasta which I also did not care for. On the positive side, the ambience and service were both excellent, however a truly disappointing culinary experience at one of the area's most expensive restaurants. read more

Parking We took Uber. However I believe they had valet. Restaurant The restaurant has a very romantic vibe. Quiet atmosphere, not a lot of patrons. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. He also recommended several dishes. Food was fresh. My scallops were cooked perfectly. The risotto was cooked al dente. However, the risotto could have used a little salt. The seafood dish my wife had a lot of seafood. Seafood was seasoned, the risotto had a little more seasoning. The dessert was the best for me. The pistachio cake was awesome as well as the pistachio gelato. Overall The service was awesome, food good. read more

Best Italian restaurant in Palm Beach County hands down. Everything is made to perfection. From Sorrento, you're getting both old world cooking and service. Try the Branzino in the salt crust! Their pastas all offer unique culinary experiences. The smoked mozzarella ravioli is a treat, and even the penne all norma, the eggplant pasta, is spectacular! Desserts include soufflé, which is outstanding. The new bar menu, and the deep stock of interesting spirits, and amazing wines, rocks the house! read more

In fairness, I've had incredible dining experiences at Paradisio. Last night was not one of them. At these prices, excellence, consistency and courtesy should always be provided. Let me list some problems that our table experienced with last nights meal: 1. A very large fly was served in one of our guests water glasses . When the manager/owner was called to the table, he thought he was humorous when he apologized on behalf of the fly. He did provide bottled water after that. 2. We ordered 2 appetizers of ravioli. They were served slightly above room temperature. They remade them. 3. Two salads were ordered, none were delivered. 4. Two guests ordered a chicken speciality dish. It was very tough and not good. They didn't complain but they barely touched their food. 5. I.was so embarrassed in front of my guests, I did not order an entree. This restaurant has been around for a long time. This was our first bad experience. I guess they deserve another chance. Not so for the poor drowned fly. He's gone forever. See, I can joke around too. read more

We'd been here before, but it was more than five years ago. We'd liked it then so we came back this past weekend to celebrate two birthdays. Although they don't do anything here special to acknowledge a birthday, we still wanted a high end meal -- aren't we worth it? The food was outstanding. That is why the five stars. But they were a full house and a bit short staffed so it took quite a long time between courses -- and a very long time to track someone down to get the bill. We started with a beet salad with Gorgonzola (we shared) that was wonderful. Our friends shared a caprese salad. For entrees, I had their pasta with lobster. It was on their list of daily offerings. It was large rigatoni with lobster chunks. Divine. I got the half order and it was more than enough. My husband had a bolognese sauced pasta -- off the menu. He said it was good. Our friends had the tortellini (tortelli?) stuffed with pears in a cheese sauce, the cauliflower soup, and the Penne a la Norma. We had the half orders. And for dessert, we chose their chocolate soufflé. It was a not too sweet dark chocolate paired with a scoop of chocolate gelato. Four spoons and one dessert -- perfect for a taste and a lovely ending to our meal. The food here is quite expensive, but it was top notch quality. In addition to taste, everything was plated prettily. We knew this going in and were prepared for the tab. Just a note. Reservations here are a must. If you book through open table or anyone else, make sure you call the restaurant directly a day or so in advance to reconfirm. Luckily we did -- or we might not have been seated as they did not have our reservation. read more

Elegant space with valet parking. No reservation but seated immediately. Multiple cordial servers bringing menus, warm focaccia, and taking drink orders. Menu is just the right size and built off classic Northern Italian dishes - fish/seafood, meats, pastas, risotto. Several specials added. Started with a classic Caesar salad. Dressed perfectly with fresh, crisp greens. Special pappardelle bolognese was a hefty dish with al dente ribbons of pasta tossed with a meaty sauce with the right balance of carrots. Excellent dish, the subtlest hint of salt might have improved it to perfect, but absolutely exceptional. Dining companions enjoyed the branzino cooked in a salt crust and the pounded veal chop parmigiana on the bone. Tried the excellent veal - tender with a zesty tomato sauce and mozzarella in every bite. Closed with some crunchy biscotti with just the precise whisper of sweetness. Service remained impeccable throughout the dining experience. Sound levels permit conversation without straining or eavesdropping. Lighting is equally measured. Would return and recommend! read more

This place is predatory and awful. I was served a $150/person 3-course Valentine's dinner that was nearly inedible. Since I wasn't allowed to order à la carte I chose my three options and hoped to be wowed. Tuna carpaccio was grayish and covered in tinned olives. Strip steak looked like it came out of a chilis kitchen. Tiramisu had layers of cool whip. I get that Valentine's Day is an opportunity for a restaurant like this to make a lot of money. But this was an absolutely dishonest and indecent way to rake in cash by serving terrible food because you know people will pay the bill when it comes. Plus, I watched the bartender pour tequila into my vesper martini. Never going back and I'm going to tell everyone I know how terrible it is. read more

Diner quality food at high end prices. I have no problem spending 500$ for dinner as long as the food is elevated, Paradiso is not high dining. Service was rude and short with drinks made incorrectly with an oh well attitude. Steak was fatty and chewy with no flavor or crust, antipasto was a joke basically burrata and gas station level cured meat. This is a restaurant for people from New Jersey that have never actually been to Italy. read more

I been to Paradiso couple times now and this time I went with all my coworkers because they are all real foodies and being in the hospitality business they can really appreciate great service and good food. Everything was amazing and 2 weeks later we still talk about the attention to detail in all aspects . Food, wine list, service, the drinks, easy parking , friendliness and professionalism from staff and owner, I can just keep going! Thank you Paradiso to take us on a quick trip to Italy! read more

Top notch classic Italian menu with some high end tweaks. Great for lunch or dinner or even just bar snacks. Excellent service. Great table at back of main restaurant for a big party and cosy booths for couples. Lighting in main room needs adjusting though (too steam/bright/grey). read more

Deliciously prepared and Deliciously served! Highly recommended! Outdoor dining at its best!

I was not impressed with my meal there. I had nothing good to eat there. I've been all over Italy, many times. So I know a lot about Italian cooking, and I cook it a lot myself. The veal picatta, was like leather in a sole of a shoe, a cheap shoe, not the kind I wear. A very thin, the thinnest piece of veal, I have ever seen in my life. The toughest, hardest, piece. I asked the server if he had ever had it. His head went down, he just shook it, to say "No!" I told him in Italian what they would say if this was served over there where he was from! His eyes went wide open! And I said "Yeah, you know it! This is the worst!" I was the only person in the restaurant. And the appetizer wasn't good either. The dessert was poor as well. The glass of wine was a 5 on a scale of 1-10. I won't ever go back. When I can cook way better than a restaurant and pay 1/6th of the price, why would I? And sit alone anyway? By myself. I can watch a movie in my room. Not sit at a counter by myself. Staring off into space. Eating bad food. read more

This is a hidden gem!!! If you have never been here then you better run! It was amazing! The staff were great, the ambiance was nice, and the food was Fantastic!! If I could give more stars I would.

Very happy to be spending Mother's Day here before the actual holiday. My mother and I had the Pinot Grigio and my husband had a beer. I don't think they are busy at lunch, but I'm sure they are busy at dinner. This is a beautiful restaurant oozing of Italian authenticity. If you have a large party and by large I mean 12 to 14 people, get the wine room table. The service was welcoming. Oh, and the offer for the 3 course meal when you check in is wrong. It isn't $3,000. It is more affordable than that. It's a little over $32. read more

This is one of my very favorite restaurants in the entire Palm Beach County. My favorite of all time is the cauliflower soup and I ordered it out for lunch and take it to go and get it almost every time I'm there! But everything on their menu is good and they have so many unusual options to choose from! Also, their wine list is excellent. I love the laid-back of the Lake Worth Beach area and I feel like Paradiso perfectly reflects that. read more

Paradiso Ristorante - Chocolate mousse - Italian Near Me - Lake Worth, Florida

The quality of this restaurant has dropped severely in the span of a year. First of all for the money you're spending at a restaurant like this, the service is absoultely horrible, and an even more appropriate description, service is non existent. We've been here 2 times, first time for NYE where it was low key, but food was delicious. Last night (Valentine's day) was another story. Their "system" online apparently over booked the restaurant and was sitting people an hour after their reservation time. After finally getting to our table, it took about 20 minutes to get a menu provided. Another 15 minutes to put an order in, and another 45 minutes to just get our appetizer and this was after asking where it was. Servers walk back and forth not even making eye contact with patrons. Leave empty plates on the table, and only removed them at our asking 30-40 min later. No asking "would you like something else, etc." You could see the frustration on everyone's face in the restaurant. I've been in situations like this before where the manager would at least make rounds around the dining room and appologize to patrons, and even potentially offer something on the house (not that I would ever be looking for a hand out) but at least to save some face. It was almost like they didn't care that people were hungry and frustrated. For a restaurant that charges $30 for a salad , you'd expect quality of service to come along with it. We've enjoyed the veal parm at this place but won't be going back. Shame. read more

There is not enough words I can say about this AMAZING Restaurant!!!! I had family fly in from New York and I wanted to bring them some place special. This is the place to go!!! The second I walked in the door we were greeted by the hostess, who is an absolute sweetheart. we were a party of eight, so I was waiting for my guests to arrive. We sat at the bar and had some cocktails which were amazing. This restaurant is immaculate and absolutely beautiful. They sat us in the back in round table which was the best seat in the house. Our waiter. Nicola was so amazing. He brought out everything for us. Our food was spectacular. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely cooked to perfection. This was the most delicious meal!!! Praise to Chef Angelo. As you can see in the photos the most beautiful presentation and delicious food. My lamb chops were spectacular by far my favorite. You get what you pay for here the finest Quality and Service!!! 5 Stars, Thank you!!! read more

What a disappointment! Mushy tasteless pasta served with cold tiny claims. Waiter suggested adding more grated cheese to enhance taste and did not offer a replacement dish. When the bill came I was prepared to pay without complaining. However , my wife stated her dissatisfaction at which time the waiter removed her serving from the total. Paradiso on this Friday night during the height of season was empty, yet it is a very elegant restaurant. We were regulars several years ago. read more

Delicious food. Beautiful atmosphere. Fantastic service. Upscale. Great for large groups.

We went to Paradiso last night for my wife's birthday. We had heard good things about it and thought it would be perfect for the special day. It certainly was! The restaurant is in a gorgeous facility with outstanding friendly service. The food was outstanding. The Espresso Martini was to die for. So good. My wife also enjoyed the wine she had with dinner. We had the Gamberoni Paradiso and Trittico di Pasta, which was a sampling of three of their pasta dishes. They were all delicious. For dessert I had the Tuttu Pistachio and my wife had the Tiramisu. The combination of pistachio cake, mouse and gelato was very good. The Tiramisu was the only disappointment of the evening. There are many ways to make it and this one just didn't do it for us. We had a wonderful dinner and will happily recommend it to my friends. read more
