History Established in 1990. Paolo's Italian Restaurant in Kent is the fulfillment of a boyhood dream of Chef/Owner, Paul Raftis who learned to cook at the apron strings of his beloved Italian mother.

Never a bad meal – I used to work at Paolo's so I've tried just about everything on the menu. I would reccomend the filet gorgonzola to anyone. The cooks are great about not overcooking your steak, and try the roasted red potatoes on the side, perfectly seasoned!! If you get a salad, order the gorgonzola dressing, it's my personal favorite. For dessert, the lemon cheesecake is available year round and is to die for, tiramisu is also delicious, it's very authentic. The zucoto is only available late spring and through summer. ... read more

FABULOUS Raspberry soup! – My sister and brother in law took us to Paolo's while visiting Seattle a while back. I had the Steak Gorganzola, which was wonderful, but the Raspberry Soup was AMAZING!!! Paolo told us that many guests order it as a dessert....no surpise there. This was upscale dining without the upscale pricetag. I wish there was a place like this in Arizona.

Best Restaurant on Kent's East Hill! – My husband and I love Paolo's! We have never had a bad meal. We love the employees and feel like family when dining at Paolo's. The wine dinners are to die for, and Paul's cooking classes are first class. It is wonderful to have this first class restaurant on the East Hill. This is a favorite for us to take out of town guests, just have a nice dinner or celebrate a special event.

Gorgonzola Steak: Worth going to Kent for! – Our family has been dining here since its opening, and Paolo's is consistently delicious! In fact, we've never had a bad- nor even mediocre- meal. Paolo's isn't the fanciest restaurant, but that's why we go so often. You don't feel out of place in a suit and tie; likewise you can pop in with your tank top and shorts and still feel comfortable. Our favorite dishes are the Gorgonzola Filet Mignon (to die for!) and the homemade pastas. The cioppino is also fantastic. Good wine list &... read more

Tasty entrees and decent value – We ordered the cioppino and the lasagna. The cioppino was fantastic and the lasagna was pretty good. The bread was cold, thin, and didn't taste too good. But the salad was good with the Italian dressings; we had raspberry vinegarette and creamy parmesan. Overall, it's not cheap but the food is yummy. We would go back again.

Nothing to write home about. – I had a craving for some Italian, and this place was down the corner. It's a very small restaurant. The bread wasn't really that great, but not cold as someone else mentioned. Although the place was packed, I had great service. I picked a salad with Italian dressing and the Veal Marsala with pasta. The pasta was a small helping, but I did get four helpings of veal. However, I'm used to a much sweeter Veal Marsala than what I got. For the money, I'm not sure if I'll be visiting again. The food w... read more

Lots of hype, no substance – I was hoping for a nice Italian meal. Sat right down and ordered promptly - $20 chef's special. 10 minutes later a basket of bland ice-cold bread arrives. 12 minutes after that the salad shows up. Then about 2 minutes into salad, the entree shows up. Very bad service delivery with lame excuses, now the food gets cold while I eat my salad. Same exact thing happened at 2 tables around me, so it wasn't just my order. Food was OK, certainly not worth the prices. Plus, as others mentioned, the wine li... read more

Southend Italian – It is nice to have a place to eat that is local and not a chain at Southcenter. I wish they had a bar area but they were happy to seat us in the dining room for our appetizers and bottle of wine. Waistaff was nice and the price was good, food was far beyond what I expected. Great place to go in the South End!

It's Amazing! – Paolos is amazing. Every time I have been there, I have had a hard time choosing from everything on their wonderful menu and I have yet to be disappointed. They dont offer a large variety of wines, but the wines they do have compliment the meals well.
