The best Italian in Washington State – Last week my wife and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary at our new favorite restaurant, Paolo’s in Kent. Having no reservations, we were seated at the counter, where I automatically assumed we’d be splashed with sauce, have knives and bread crumbs flying in our direction, and made to feel as if we were part of the kitchen help. Not so. We were treated to a show and dinner, watching Chef Paul Raftis do his Houdini thing with delicious pasta, fresh vegetables, and making sauces yo... read more

Horrible Service, Incredibly rude and disrespectful – DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT! The waitstaff were incredibly rude, most of the restaurant was empty and there were many tables set up ready to seat people. We were completely ignored and had to go up to the kitchen at least 4 times to ask if we could be seated. We waited at least 15 minutes at the front door after asking for a table and were then told very rudely that they were "very busy", which was obviously not true as the restaurant was mostly empty. We left the restau... read more

horrible service, average food – The Service: Our "10 minute wait was really 20 minutes. This was especially frustrating as the table we were seated at was empty the entire time we were waiting. They have tables in the waiting area - prefect to offer waiting guests wine/water/bread. We we offered nothing as we sat staring at the empty table we would eventually be seated at. Once seated, we had to ask for water and bread. After that, the service improved. Not great, but acceptable. As for the food, the chicken was dry, the br... read more

It was worth coming back for! – First time my husband and I stopped in we couldn't get in and needed reservations so we came back a few weeks later with reservations. Glad we came back! The service was absolutely outstanding! The place is a little tiny, but still has a nice feel. The staff was very knowledgable about the wines they serve as well as the food. The baked parmesan was out of this world and paired wonderfully with the Pinot Noir I was drinking. The waitress was very accommodating by bringing me samples of two win... read more

Why do people lie on these reviews... – First of all, I'm an expert on Italian Food. Even done some food critic jobs in the past. Here is the review to read as I have done this professionally before. At first look, a cute place. Nice decor, little small but cozy, and the open view into the kitchen. I arrived at 6:03 Sat. night. It was busy, but there were open stools at the counter. I was never approaced to be seated. After 20 minutes, I asked a waitress to be seated - for 1. I was told to wait while they looked around. 20 m... read more
