Check your bill! – This restaurant was on my brother's List of Places to Go so I made reservations for his birthday. We arrived to find that a "computer glitch" had erased our reservations but there were few diners there and they were able to ready the table quickly. Our waitress was incompetent and we had to wait 20 minutes for cold bread and water not to mention the time it took for her to actually take our order. As I said there were a mere 3 tables and 2 waitstaff. The term "Wine Bar" should be used loosely for this plac... read more
Solid, but over-rated – My husband and I went to this restaurant for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The sophisticated decor is very enticing and made us interested to see whether or not the food would be equally impressive. We scored last minute reservations on a Friday night. Both of us enjoyed our meals, but neither of us felt as "wowed" as we have been by other local establishments. My fish entree was tasty, but upstaged by the butternutsquash soup that I had as an appetizer. The wine list was pretty extensive and ... read more
Great Ambience, Location and Service – We had nice time on our recent (and first) trip to Paradiso. The inside is really beautiful and well spread out, parking was not an issue, and our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and Italian dining. There were six of us in the party (two kids), and we had a good sampling of the menu. The portions seemed a bit small (which drives me nuts when compared to price - it is South Philly, make the plate overflow!), but my wife and mother-in-law couldn't finish their pl... read more
Just OK – There were 5 of us and everyone thought "It was good". The salads were very good but the soup of the day, a seafood selection that 2 of us had, was the first of the ?good? but far from exceptional selections chosen. My Hudson Valley duck, again, was good. Others in the same category were the Grilled Tuna with Shaved Fennel, and the Speck and Aged Asiago Stuffed Chicken. The restaurant itself has a nice feel to it but there are many other places we have enjoyed more in Philly. We won't be rushing back. Cost with tax... read more
Delicious and authentic! – Had dinner at Paradiso for the first time last week... and we will DEFINITELY be back! It was the most delicious, original, and authentic Italian that we have had anywhere in Philly. The waitress was professional and attentive, cocktails delicious, and selections -- so hard to choose! We have paid muh more for dinner in Philly and had meals not half as good as at Paradiso. Definitely try this restaurant!
fabulous experience! – I recently threw my wife a surprise birthday party at Paradiso. What a fabulous experience from beginning to end! I found the restaurant on citysearch. Now, I'm not a great party planner, so I was a little nervous about the whole thing. When I first called, the manager was unavailable, but she returned my call very quickly. She asked all the right questions and really made me feel at ease. She and the chef worked on a special menu that fit my limited budget. They took care of every detail-the cake, win... read more
You'll find tastier food at a college dorm! – A few friends and I went to this restaurant for a work-related dinner and talk. The service was obscenely slow and unattentive. Some colleagues arrived no later than ten minutes after the waitress had begun taking orders, yet did not receive their appetizer until *after* others finished their entree! The house special (Veal chop with broccoli rabe and mashed potatoes) was overdone to medium well, lacking in flavor, and improperly paired with bitter greens. I would not recommend t... read more
