We had the panelle special(fried chick peas, ricotta, and shredded mozzarella on a roll.
The wait staff was good they checked in with us, wanting to know if all was good.
Parking was good as it is in a mall area.
I ordered Calabrese salad(mixed Salad topped with Prosciutto, Provolone, Salami and Olives) for dinner later, and a Vastedda
(spleen sandwich topped with ricotta and cheese) for a friend.
Will return.
On Friday and Saturday night they have live music. In the evening it's an Italian menu. read less

The food reminds me like I'm back in Italy. It's outstanding! And the liveliness is incredible. They had Italian singers playing the keyboard and tambourines.... Everyone was engaged and clapping. It truly was an awesome night. The service is perfect. The owner and waiters are extremely nice. They even gave the woman roses on their way out. I give this place an overall thumbs up. A must try. read less

We always find we get better service, attention and food preparation in this time frame and rest assure we did here.
Our food was perfect and the portions were generous. We really appreciated the special attention for my wife's food sensitivities. Definitely satisfied. As my wife said: " The grilled octopus salad was better than the Greeks".
Will be returning for sure. read less

This place is fun and delicious. We went for a birthday party and our waiter was incredibly charming. We had a prefixed menu and by the time we got the third course our waiter turns into a singing waiter, belting out some classic Italian, feel good tunes! The food was delicious too. The brannzino fish was perfectly grilled, tender and the portions were tremendous. This place was great. Highly recommend for a dinner out with friends. It's too bad I can't share video here, you just need to trust me. read less

The food was truly authentic Italian, absolutely delicious! I have to mention the service. My husband and I sat down and were greeted with a glass of champagne ( with a strawberry in the glass) our waiter was so helpful when trying to pick out entrees. They play real Italian music such a beautiful ambience. Once dinner was over they kindly wrapped our leftovers and treated us to a delicious little Italian pastry just to have " something sweet" I can't say enough about this place. My husband and both felt like we weren't even on the island anymore! Can't wait to take our families there! read less

We were the only ones that were there throughought our stay. The waiters made sure that our table was kept clean and gave us some reccomendations on what to order. I fell in love with the seafood risotto. It was super delicious and had plenty of clams, mussels, and shrimps which made the dish worth the price. I would come here again just to get the same dish. read less

His choices were suberb and my party had the very best time! Service from the wait staff was super and the music was wonderful! Thank you so much, Villa Paradiso for making my wife's birthday a memorable success! I can honestly say that Gino and his staff made us all feel like family! read less

Ciro and his ability to sing in a great voice that he has,he is such an Entertainer that there is no way you going to go there and not have a good time. I believe it's Fridays and Saturdays only for the live entertainment I can't say enough good things about this place the only thing I can say is go there enjoy the food and you're going to enjoy the company it's such a great place to go to. read less

I could not have chosen a better venue to honor my mom's passing today. My brother and I noticed the sign along Amboy Road a few days ago, and we were greeted warmly and a potential menu for today was thoroughly explained. I loved the large windows which allow lots of natural light in. I wanted a bright lunch for friends and family to gather at. Twenty of my family and closest friends were amazed at the delicious food, attentive service and generous family-style portions. My Italian friends remarked how great everything was. Nickolai and Salvador even accommodated last-minute requests I hadn't thought of prior, for gluten-free plate for a dear friend, and chicken fingers for another dear friend's special-needs son. The dessert - a strawberry Tiramisu? was incredible. Guests who usually skip dessert had more than one helping. Today was a very sad day for me, but everything here went perfect from start to finish -- even when we arrived before we were expected. Thank you so much for everything. read less

What a hit! This is a first time for me, and most of the staff and we LOVED it! From the food- to the live entertainment they deserve more than 5 stars!
The chef of this restaurant was on chopped ; compliments to the chef everything was delicious!! I got a little VIP Aceess and got to meet him!
The owner of Villa Paradiso was so accommodating when booking the reservation and creating the menu for our evening out! He also is an AMAZING singer!
We had a prefixed menu that was family style appetizers pasta and entree
I loved this risotto it had asparagus and zucchini ! This was by far the best risotto I've ever had! And I truly mean that!
Talk about over fed! The food kept coming and we were so full halfway through!
The live entertainment and the singing was a blast we had so many laughs, so much fun, such a great experience!

Upon getting to your table you are greeted by a friendly and lovely staff and served a glass of champagne while listening to live music performed by every staff person... From old school Italian music to Frank Sinatra, the Jersey Boys to Micheal Bubblé. Each song is better and better. Even the patrons join in! The food is amazing! I never write reviews but it is really impressive! A big thank you to Salvatore and Nicola for a wonderful night! They are fantastic! read less
