Special appetizer.
Sameer K.

The place is somewhat upscale. The reason for adding "somewhat" is because it is a bit dense and noisy. Interior is good. Their special appetizer was tasty and the same goes for Penne Paradiso and Lasagna. The server and other staff was straight faced. No smiles. Not saying thanks for coming here.

Salmone Piccata

On a very busy street with tons of other restaurants, Ristorante Paradiso is thriving. The service is great. We were seated right away. The wine list has a good selection and my husband tried a glass of the super Tuscan. There are so many good choices on the menu. It is hard to choose just one dish. I started with a small Mista Salad. It had fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, salad greens with a white balsamic dressing. My husband had a true Caesar salad that had old fashioned raw eggs. For a second course, I had the linguine tutte mare. It was a huge portion of pasta with clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari. There is a choice of sauces and I chose white. It was very good. My husband had the salmone picatta. He opted to have the penne instead of vegetables. He ate every morsel. The portions are large. So we decided to have tea and coffee. He ordered espresso. Although it came without the lemon, he said it was very good. I had chamomile tea. It was a very enjoyable meal. The huge down side is the parking. But once we found a spot, it was worth the trip. It is a small place, so I recommend reservations. But it is cozy without feeling crowded.

Tiramisu

EVERYTHING in this place is amazing! The staff, the drinks, the appetizers, the bread, the FOOD, and the desserts!!!! OMG! There are not enough stars! We had an amazing dinner! My husband had the rack of lamb and I had a chicken dish that I cannot pronounce, but was amazing! Chicken, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes over roasted vegetables! Just layer after layer of flavor! We will return!!!

Not sure - it's a vegetarian dish that one of the boys had and he demolished it. Gone in seconds.

What a treat! We had a dinner of moms and sons at Paradiso and it was a dream! Private area off to the side made it a really intimate area, but the tables outside looked lovely too. Appetizers were phenomenal - calamari, bruschetta, and beet salad were so good. Dinners were devoured - swordfish special was amazing, I loved my angel hair pomodoro with chicken, and there were a lot of smiles and happy "oh my god this is SO GOOD!" comments! Our server was adorable and super attentive and the whole evening was a great experience. I'll be back!!

Penne Paradiso with chicken
Janna L.

We came here for our daughter's birthday celebration in October. I was disappointed with our table location (right next to the kitchen) as I had noted birthday on our reservation. However, my daughter had arrived first and already settled in so we didn't ask to move. We ordered drinks and sipped a bit. Usually bread and butter come immediately after ordering drinks , if not earlier. After a bit, as we were all starving and their bread is FAMOUSLY FANTASTIC we had to ask for. It did not disappoint. Drinks were great, extra large martini glasses; wish they would offer hand-stuffed cheese olives (blue, Gorgonzola, etc.), so simple to make a limited number each evening during prep and such a classy thing to do (I'd even pay $1 or 2 for them as add ons, depending on how many I get. Caesar salad was fantastic!Entrees: #1- Penne Paradiso (a succulent marriage of perfectly cooked penne, artichokes & a pink sauce) with added grilled chicken (a little dry and rather tasteless) #2. Pollo Limone (a thin and tangy white wine lemon sauce that encompasses two pounded thin chicken pieces over linguine). We added tableside freshly shredded Parmesan, however had to request as it wasn't offered as in past times. Surprisingly this chicken tasted more flavorful and was perfectly cooked. Birthday dessert- a smaller portion of their blissful tiramisu (my absolute favorite of all tiramisu's)--although their perfectly crackled and vanilla bean creamy crème brûlée is a close second. Espresso martini was excellent, arriving in a large martini glasses with a perfect coffee bean afloat in the center. Ciao and mille grazie!

Tomorrow soup
Katherine C.

Food is nice sized portions. Pasta is heavy and you could definitely take home leftovers. Plating is well done. The dishes look beautiful. Lasagna was delicious and the cannelloni was excellent. My chicken dish has a long name and was last item on menu. You can opt for veggie and potatoes or pasta in a red or white sauce. The chicken was saucy so next time I just might get plain pasta for the sauce with chicken. Dessert, which i didn't get a pic, was a a tarfuro (?), not spelled right, which was zabiglione with a chocolate Gelato surrounding it and a powdery coating. It was gooood.....reservations are a must. Went on a Monday night and it was packed!

Complimentary bread

I came here for an anniversary dinner and was pretty disappointed. I thought some of servers we encountered were pretty nice and friendly while others were cold and stiff. The service we got was a little conflicting and definitely varied by person. After we sat down, it took about ten minutes before someone came by to fill up our water glasses; I genuinely thought they had forgotten about us. As for the food, it was alright and was definitely made fresh. I personally love Italian food and have been to Italy, so maybe my standards are a little high, but I wouldn't come here just for the food, especially after my conflicting experience with the service. After finishing the entrees, I asked the server if they did anything for anniversaries, and they said they only offered something for birthdays unfortunately.

Amazing food. Every time with no exception. My family and I have tried just about everything on the menu and everything has been more than good. I moved from Italy 14 years ago and I'm so picky when it comes to Italian food this is the only spot I'll go to when I want authentic Italian food. A million starts lol

Paradiso is our goto place when we crave some traditional Italian food, the kind that brings you comfort and happiness. It isn't fancy, and staff is always friendly. I came here because i craved lasagna, and their version definitely hit the spot. A generous meat sauce that has small pieces of ham, uncommon but added another level of savory. Hubby had the stuffed chicken breast that unfortunately was slightly dry. It was a very busy weekend night but staff was working hard to take care of everyone in a timely manner. It is a neighborhood gem!

Capellini al Pomodoro with optional scallops
Julienne P.

The pasta dishes we got were delicious. Pasta was cooked perfectly with the right amount of sauce and tons of flavor. We added chicken to mine for an extra charge and they provided a generous amount. My hubby added scallops for $11 extra and only got 3 which he was disappointed with at first, but when he tasted them, he said they were amazing and worth the $11. They will substitute GF rigatoni for any pasta and mine was cooked perfectly. No cross-contamination with the pasta They do serve AMAZING complimentary bread (no GF option) The server was very knowledgeable about menu and GF details. He was always there when we needed him and friendly The ambiance is very nice and Italian. Easily can be romantic and "dressed up". Easy to be casual too. Great experience and food. We will be back to try even more dishes.

Pasta with sausage
Sum H.

Went in for Italian food with my friend as I have heard good thing about this place where I actually been a few times while ago. We were able to make a reservation despite it was Sunday night around 6:30 on the last minute. The place was pretty full and lively. The service was ok. I ordered Risotto di mare and my friend creamy pasta can't remember the name. They were solid with fresh ingredients. I liked their complimentary bread that were warm and soft. The portion was huge even the cocktail I had. The food here would be good to share.

Even with a reservation, we did have to wait a bit, but it was Valentine's Day, so totally understandable given how busy Italian spots get. Parking was pretty convenient with spaces both in front and behind the restaurant, and if those are full, it's close to the Totem Lake area so there are other options nearby. The ambiance was definitely unique--lots of mannequins, motorcycles, and a sort of roadshow vibe. It felt fun, a little quirky, and different from your typical Italian restaurant. Service was good overall, especially considering how busy it was. Our server was attentive enough and kept things moving smoothly. We started with bread and butter--nothing particularly special, but still enjoyable. The garlic herb compound butter oddly felt nostalgic and reminded me of childhood. For appetizers, we got the meatballs, which were hearty and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the seafood pasta in a wine cream sauce and really enjoyed it. There was a good amount of seafood--not super crab-heavy, but enough to get a few nice bites--and the sauce itself was light and well-balanced. My husband ordered the chicken parm, which he said was good but leaned a bit on the bland side. Overall, it feels like a solid neighborhood Italian spot. Definitely a place we'd come back to when we're in the area.

You can also park in the larger Totem Lake shopping area near Trader Joe's and the surrounding shops, where there is typically plenty of parking available. Unless you're visiting on a busy weekend, finding a spot usually is not much of an issue. I've actually been to their Redmond location before, so I already had a good idea of what to expect. The ordering process is very customizable, allowing you to choose your noodles, sauce, toppings, and other add ons. It's a great option if you're a picky eater or simply want to try something different and create a meal that fits your preferences. I always order the pesto pasta because their pesto sauce is absolutely delicious. The ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are satisfying without feeling too heavy. The staff was very friendly during my visit, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. This is definitely more of a casual grab and go type of restaurant. You clean up after yourself, and the service is quick, making it a great choice for a lunch break or a casual meal with a friend.

A simple concept that seems to work, and seems to attract a lot of customers. We were a party of 4 and we each picked our own pasta meal. For starters, we shared the burrata salad. It had fresh basil, pesto, fine nuts, and of course, the creamy burrata on top of fresh mixed greens. The flavors were just jiving together and I wish I could have it every day. For my main, I had the short rib ragu with fettuccine. The sauce was deep in flavor. The short rib ragu paired well with the al dente fettuccine. Each pasta is served with a garlic focaccia bread. The restaurant's ambiance is casual and yet the food being served up in the kitchen is elevated for a fast casual establishment. It's a shame that only locations are based in Seattle, Washington area. Although, they may have opened a new location in TX. At any rate, Dué Cucina is doin something right.

They have both great outdoor seating and inviting indoor dining as well. I started with a nice London Fog made with Earl Gray from Smith Teamaker. It comes in one size - large. My Mom got the Eggs Benedict with fresh dill which she enjoyed even though there was a slight hiccup. The English muffin under the eggs was over toasted and was very difficult to cut with a knife. But the staff was very gracious and remade the whole thing in no time. I got the roast chicken with goat cheese sandwich and my wife got the smoked turkey sandwich.
