The entire restaurant was singing along, waving napkins in the air and dancing!! The staff encourages everyone to join and they even pass around mini maracas and ladles to drum along with the songs. The food is exceptional...huge whole shrimp, fresh branzino, filet mignon, pasta with homemade marinara,  risotto misto w vongole, appetizers were unending--riceballs, calamari, pulpo, a misto of many ...Mamma Mia! You will not leave hungry. Save this for your cheat day ;)This isn't just a restaurant, it is an experience. 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

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 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!

The waiters are friendly and enthusiastic but DO NOT have them "bring over some appetizers as they will not disclose to you that it will cost you $90 when you get the bill. Once you get past that the food is great and the entertainment will have you in a good mood all night. Highly recommended 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.

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

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

The portions are large and the selection is expansive with not only traditional favorites but also creative specials. The food is so fresh, you can see the lobster they pick out for you. Their sauce is light and fluffy not jarred bs. They give you olive oil with your bread and make a killer bruschetta. They play live music and the decor is very wedding style. It's very clean and the service is like you're eating at a 5 star restaurant. Can't wait to come back. read less

There were a few different large parties. We sat down within 5 minutes. Our waiter greeted with respectful European greetings to both my self and my wife. The food was beyond incredible, the service was impeccable. The whole experience was so good that I would go back once a week. read less

I came with my boyfriend on a Saturday and was greeted by Salvatore my maitre d and chef. Upon sitting he handed my date and I a champagne glass with strawberry. A nice start to a great dinner. I went on to have the seafood risotto which was divine. Lots of seafood and the risotto was cooked to perfection. My date had the ribeye and that also was perfectly cooked. The Demi glacé served with it was beyond delicious. To cleanse your palette the server sets down a fruit platter with watermelon, fresh cantaloupe and grapes. A great end to an amazing dinner. We also had the white sangria served in HUGE glasses. Overall a great night with great food and I felt like with great friends. 5 star!
And ps! To continue Salvatore the GREAT gave us a huge serving of Godiva chocolate mouse. I will be back again and again!! read less
