My mother-in-law, who is Neapolitan and who is a great cook herself, picked this place. At the first glance I was not impressed at all - very ordinary looking place in a big shopping plaza... But when they started bringing the food out - it was totally a different kind of experience. The food is super fresh and OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious! They actually have an Italian chef from Italy who cooks family style meals for you. My family is very picky when we eat out. Everything was top notch from the appetizers to sea food to meats. They have a great entertainment as well with live music on Saturday. Perfect place for young and old to celebrate an event, enjoy the food,vino and have fun! Check it out! You'll absolutely love it! read less

I had the baked clams as an appetizer and we also had the seafood salad which was amazing. My husband had the bronzino I have to tell you I have never had it repaired the way they did it on the grill it was fantastic so if you like that you need to order it I had the shrimp over spinach and it was delicious my mother-in-law had the linguine and clam sauce everything was fantastic even the service was amazing I highly recommend this restaurant. read less

Drinks are reasonably priced and decent. Pasta in Bolognese , FABULOUS!! Sausage and broccoli raab, FABULOUS! Atmosphere, Service, all FABULOUS!! No booths, but there is a respectable amount of room between the tables. Sadly, none of the old school standards like Veal Parmigiana etc., though what is offered more than makes up for it. We loved this place, and will definitely be going back. If you don't live on Staten Island, it's worth the trip.Freshness and quality literally screams from the dish. Very nice presentation as well. Again, the old school standards aren't on the menu. We can't wait to try some of their other dishes. This place is a find!! read less

The chef, Sal, takes great pride in his dishes and everything was delicious!! I'm looking at the other comments and have to agree about the price of the specials not on the menu. Dinner for two with one sangria each was $200.--!! Four prawns as an appi were $45.- and the single pasta "pocketbook" was $14.-. A little shocking for a restaurant in Staten Island with absolutely no atmosphere or up-scale feel to it. People were there in jeans and t-shits, the lights were all full blast, the walls white and it felt like something just put together. Speaking of that, I would recommend to them to: lower the lights - way too bright for dining, lose the TV's with the wires hanging from the walls, do something about the counters left by Joe's of Ave. U, it's a little cafeteria-ish, and draw the drapes for evening dining (no one wants a view of the parking lot). You also need some advertising, we are always looking for good restaurants on the island and we never heard of this one opening. Please listen to your patrons comments and make the necessary adjustments, this restaurant should boom!! 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

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!
100% recommended you will not be disappointed read less

The quality of the food from start to finish was superb as was the service.
We were greeting with complimentary champagne and brought a plate of panelle and mini rice balls. We also took our waiters recommendation to order the antipasto which consisted of buffalo mozzarella drizzled with olive oil and fresh basil/tomatoes, eggplant rollatini, prosciutto with melon and fried calamari. The quality and portions for the table were amazing. While I have noticed mention in other posts that it was pricey I have to disagree - the plates were huge and the quality unlike what I can find at a speciality store for less $$ should I wish to make it myself. I ordered the bucatini with cherry tomato and shrimp as my entree, delicious homemade pasta. My father and boyfriend had the veal Marsala and raved about it while my mother has the gnocchi which she loved. We ended the evening with three delicious desserts, espressos and cappuccinos. With dinner we also had a bottle of wine. The total for four people who had apps, wine, entrees and dessert was $276.00 when I thought it could have easily been more than that due to portion size and quality of the food.
Ambience wise, yes there is music, singing of old Italian songs and some could complain it was too loud. To be honest that's what my parents loved about it - they were reminded of a time of family dinners with a huge Italian family gathering and enjoying good food, great company and singing after some vino. It is also worth mentioning that we were not rushed out and immensely enjoyed our meal, vino and entertainment. A must try place in my book and I will most certainly return to this restaurant. read less

Incredible food, even better service. Everything we ate was divine. The gnocchi was insanely delicious. Will definitely be back :)

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

Gino took my reservation and seated us in his beautiful new extended room. Gino told me don't worry about the menu, he would take care of everything...and he did! The food was fanastic! 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

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.

Tonight we ordered the filet mignon and the branzino fish and both were cooked to perfection. This isn't your run of the mill Italian restaurant in Staten Island - the menu is well thought out with a top notch chef behind the food choices.
On Saturday nights, the owner joins the entertainment and also sings older Italian songs , he's got a voice that would put most people on american idol to shame.
I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exquisite meal - I would caution however that it can get quite loud when the singing starts but that's really the restaurants charm. read less
