Paradiso Ristorante

Service was amazing - super nice server and servers assistant. They were always checking on us and had a smile on their faces while doing it. The outdoor patio was adorably decorated. Food was good and the pistachio martini was incredible. All in all a great little place with great service and vibes!

I love the blackened salmon entree with the sautéed spinach and soft creamy cannellini beans. It's something my beloved Italian grandmother would have made for me. Always consistent always delicious. Love this place

Paradiso Ristorante 15 Railroad Ave, Swampscotthttp://www.paradisoristorante.net/Once again the food and service were top-notch at Paradiso Ristorante in Swampscott but the big story here is the new and spectacular dining room!The new dining area is spacious, welcoming, and as good as anyone else's around the North Shore! It quite possibly may even be the best! I highly recommend that every one make it a point to check this place out ASAP. Click on the link above to make a reservation.

I highly recommend! I hosted my daughter's bridal shower here, and was beyond impressed with everything from the service to the most delicious Italian food! The chicken parmesan was excellent and made thin to perfection! Connie and Kim were both amazing and paid attention to every detail! The ambiance was perfect and made for a beautiful event!

We went here as a group of 6 and sat at a table for 8- which was a little cumbersome but we made do. We are all a very tight knit group and we wanted to have some great discussions here. We ordered some wine and salads. Then we had all kinds of dishes from sea bass (got steamed broccoli as the replacement vegetable for the mixed medley), veal, pasta and some other goodies. The food was very good. We had Mike as our waiter. It felt like we were in a Sopranos movie but all in good fun. In the front of the house, a Boston Red Sox v Yankees game was playing-its located directly across fr the commuter line so it is a good location. This is a good ol' standby to go to!

Great food and great atmosphere. Chicken Carrozza was amazing! Wish there was more servers to make waits quicker but doesn't take away from the great staff!

Came here on a Wednesday night about an hour before they were closing with about half the seats open. Indoors and outdoor dining was available with decent coverage considering it was down pouring at the time.For drinks my sister had a traditional mule with Tito's and my friend and I had a Jameson mule, which I enjoyed more than the standard. A few sips in I could tell there was a fair amount of alcohol incorporated, always appreciated. For appetizer we shared the shrimp scampi including three orders of rolls before and after. Our server was kind enough to keep offering us more while we were waited for our entrées. The rolls were warm and perfect for the dipping oil and the scampi sauce, literally couldn't get enough of it.For entrées, my friend ordered the 14 ounce sirloin steak with the vegetables and mashed potatoes while my sister and I shared the fra Diavolo (lobster tail included) with linguini. The steak was cooked medium rare and it definitely had that bright pink center while being slightly bloody. My friend thoroughly enjoyed his meal and especially the vegetables. There was a variety of seafood including clams, muscles, scallops, lobster, fish, shrimp but surprisingly no calamari. The fresh linguini soaked up the flavorful and slightly spicy fra diavolo sauce. For dessert we shared the apple tart with the vanilla ice cream. It was a crispy outside layer with caramelized sugar on the top and bottom. The warm tart was a perfect contrast for the cold and simple vanilla ice cream.Overall, great experience. Our waitress was incredibly kind and even had other servers check up on us as well. Would definitely come again and support this local business!

Not worth traveling to but reliable local restaurant. Staff is friendly and they serve well known favorites.

My favorite restaurant by far. The staff are super nice, except for the one time our waiter sat at her friends table while we were waiting for the check (one bad thing is not enough for me to make this a 4 star review). The food is AMAZING. Love the bread they serve at the table and I love the pasta here. The chicken parm is also amazing and I have only gone there once when it wasn't good (also not enough for 4 stars). The tiramisu is amazing as well. The place has a loud bar area with seating and a section that's more elegant and quiet so you can get the same good food and have your choice of two different settings. I highly recommend trying this place

Great food, and lovely service. The atmosphere is casual and fun. Easy place to go with the kids, and a "go-to" for an uncomplicated night out.
