Paradiso in Burlington

We brought our friends here tonight. Another delicious meal complete with bottle of wine & dessert. Food is hot, fresh and nicely presented. I used my Groupon coupons with no issues.

Just had a beautiful Christmas work dinner at Paradiso in Burlington. The food was great, from the steak entree to the lemon tart, just amazing. However what I was most impressed with was the staff. Hannah, Ashley, Yasmina and Hailey were all so attentive and friendly. Hannah took care of my fiancé and I most of the evening and she was awesome right from the start. Thank you ladies for making this night extra special. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Came here for my birthday and it was amazing! Service was great, food was delicious, the menu was reasonably priced. Definitely recommend

Lovely dinner with 1/2 price wine on Wednesday evenings. Food and service are fantastic and it is quite reasonably priced. Vegetarian options: Artichoke risotto is delicious. And enough for lunch the next day. Parking: Free evening parking across the street.

Not impressed Service from kitchen was slow. Other tables food came out faster than our order. Although we ordered earlier than them. Flatbread is essentially pizza. If your going to have a butternut squash salad at least put butternut squash in it. Complained that salad dressing was pure Dijon mustard. Was not in menu as an entirely mustard dressing. Bread served was nice. Salmon added to salad was cooked nicely the only two positives. Restaurant looked tired. Would not return.

Food was great. Service was horrible.

Excellent dining experience. Great service, from taking our coats to putting up with our slight tardiness and of course the service from the waitress. Duck confit drumsticks are delicious as was the Brie. The Short Ribs were tender and tasty. We also had the braised oxtail pasta , the gnocchi and the ahi tuna. All were very good.I would highly recommend Paradiso for any occasion. Prices are also reasonable for the high quality of the food. Appreciated being thanked by name upon leaving for the evening as well. Cheers

It was a delight! We enjoyed a trifecta of carne pizza, risotto, and glasses of wine.

This place may be one of the best hidden gems in Burlington

Visiting from the States and stopped in for a late lunch on Saturday. Service was great. The food was fabulous. I loved the Foccacia wish I had the recipe. Great start to the meal. I followed it up with the house-made gnocchi and it did not disappoint. The crème brûlée trio for dessert was also a standout. If I have time, I may try to squeeze in another visit before I head home. So good!!!

Seared Salmon was 1 wide and an inch thick. Puréed tomato paste with 1 baby potato spit in half and literally 6 spinach leaves for $48. Campari soda was watered down too obvious for $12.00. My wife s espresso martini also watered down and her short rib was ALL bone (2bites of meat). SO IF YOU ARE WILLING TO SIMPLY GET CHEATED AND PAY FOR A RESTAURANTS HIGH DOWNTOWN COSTS, then Paradiso is the place for you!!!!!

Food was not bad, service was subpar.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Yes the atmosphere and service are okay, as expected, really.. but then the food came out .. we got a Mediterranean pizza as an appetizer which was just okay. The tomato slices were really think and they did not do a good job spreading it around. Then my main course came, I ordered the burger, and I realize this is a Mediterranean restaurant, not a burger join... but if your chefs cant cook a burger... then they arent chefs. It was dry and SAD the patty was much smaller than the buns, there was basically no sauce, and they put pickles and sautéed peppers on too. Very weird combination, not unique at all. Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to not be in a kitchen. I ordered a ginger ale and basically i got a splash of soda with 99% ice cubes then paid for it?.. Really sad restaurant.... will not be going back. Do NOT waste your money here.

We come here every time we are in the area. I have never been disappointed. I love that the menu is always interesting and I have loved every meal I have had here.

celebrate myfriends birthday here service and food both extraordinarily

A tad expensive but for an exquisite fine dining experience, it s worth it! Food was absolutely scrumptious.. 5 star quality cooking!

Relatively quiet family kind of restaurant. Very nice atmosphere. One of the best burgers I had in a long time. Food

very tasty quality food, originally prepared dishes, made with soul, wonderful friendly staff. We will definitely come back here with our family again. thank you very much

Professional and accommodating waiting staff. Food was good, and pricing was on par with the market. I would recommend the rigatoni, lavender creme brulee, and coffee. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options.

I liked it. Good appetizers and wine. The terrace was very nice as well. They had vegetarian options as well.

Best Grilled Calamari I ve ever had! Sasha offered us great service too. We ll have to visit again soon!

Amazing environment, service & food.

Had a great double birthday celebration with friends here last weekend. One of my friends has mobility issues and the head waiter was very quick to make sure we got a table that did not cause my friends problems. He, and our waiter were also very kind about the birthdays and made us all feel welcome and feted.

Yet another visit and the food was wonderful. The Polenta Fries are a true keeper. Staff very attentive. Another great evening with family. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the great service and warm atmosphere! Unfortunately I do not know the waitress name but I came yesterday on my bf birthday and the waitress could not be more than amazing. Her energy is just wow just wanted to thank her for this amazing personality and energy!

Used to be really great but completely changed the menu and no longer have the best item they had havent returned since

Parking: Lots of parking in lots and on the street close by Food

Everything we tried was satisfying! Kid-friendliness: They have kids menu and colouring. Food : 4/5 |

A very nice place for dinner, the food is excellent, the service and the atmosphere. The lamb suggo orecchiette is fantastic. The only thing that it lacks is parking. Its very hard to find parking, since the area has many restaurants and eateries. Will come back!

If youre ever in the area and looking for a great place to eat, I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is fantastic, especially the beautiful outdoor patio which is perfect for enjoying a meal on sunny days. I ordered the burger, which was absolutely divine, and it came with delicious fries and a great salad. For dessert, I highly recommend trying the creme brulee trio, which features three different flavors: lavender, vanilla, and espresso. Overall, I had a wonderful time here and would definitely give this place a five-star review. Its highly recommended.

Delicious food

Went for our wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and serving was amazing.

Great food and our server Jordan was fantastic!

Took about 40 minutes to get our food. I ordered the ribs, the portion was very small for the price 42 dollars. It tasted like something a 13 year old would cook in his home kitchen... or maybe they took 2 day old stewed beef and attached it to a bone to call it a rib? It was a complete disgrace to my taste buds. I felt insulted. 42 dollars for over cooked garbage, I would rather just hand them over that money and leave rather than insult my mouth with whatever that was. The mashed potatoes felt like they were instant mashed potatoes bought at the local grocery store. I would never eat here ever again.

The Calamari Is a must to try, they are out of this world light smoky absolutely outstanding Its been a while since I last visited this place, but you know what? Nothing has changed! The service is still amazing, the food is outstanding, and the atmosphere is great. I would like to thank all the employees for their dedication and hard work. You rock!

Its been a while since we are last here and really enjoyed the food we had and wine of the month. A stand out for us was the grilled calamari: grilled not battered and deep fried. Delicious. We also had the Moroccan salmon - that was tasty. Dietary restrictions: They had a number of gluten free options.

Everything is was amazing here! The location. Quality of the food. The service & atmosphere! Just phenomenal! I would definitely recommend! Food

Absolutely delicious meal and lovely staff. Thanks for a great first experience tonight :)

We Choose this place to have a Birthday dinner. It was a huge mistake! Food was tasteless, lukewarm and not appetizing at all! The server named Dean never checked on our opinion of the served dishes. We had an early dinner at 4:30 pm and the place was empty, so busyness cant be used as an excuse. In the Reservation notes we mentioned celebrating birthday but received Zero acknowledgement of that. $100 wasted! ( and this amount could cover our weekly meals)

My girlfriend and I had a great time. Loved the food.

Highly recommended! Delicious food,excellent service! Will be back for sure. Thank you Food : 5/5 |

My friends organized my birthday party at this location, we had a private room from 7:30pm until 11pm with a 3 course meal. Food was delicious, service was good and staff was very pleasant. Will come back and recommend. Food

First time here. Definitely wont be the last. The food was amazing. Started with the asiago dip. My fiancee had the wedge Ceasar salad, I had the beet salad. Delicious. She had the Italian sausage rigatoni, and I had the pork loin chop. Honestly the best pork loin chop I have ever had. The presentation on all dishes was excellent,but the taste was truly amazing. Cant wait to come back.

What a gem!! Loved every bite and moment! The food was really amazing, thanks again!!

Food is average and the service wasnt the best to be honest!

Paradiso hosted my sons First Communion and everything was amazing. They provided all the information from the start. Christa, was an amazing help and went above and beyond to assist with my requests. They were very accomodating. Our event had 22 guests and the party room was perfect. The menu options were just right and dinner service was above the top. Our waitresses Nicki and Aimee were exceptional. Thanks to Ron also who was very understanding and helped us out. Thank you all so much. I would highly recommend Paradiso for a private function or a lovely date night out.

Went for Hubbys Birthday Dinner, everything was fantastic! The food was amazing! Service was also fantastic. We enjoyed every bite! Cocktails were also awesome! This was our first visit and we are looking forward to going back! If you have never been to Paradiso, you wont be disapointed.

Absolutely amazing food. I can usually find something to harp on, and they didnt really leave the opportunity. Service was on point, not hovering, but we never waited for anything, and the last minute request landed as expected on time with my main course. Weve enjoyed all levels of food and service across many areas and venues, the food and staff make this a must have experience for Burlington. Time about 4:30pm on a Saturday evening.

Amazing staff,delicious food. Duck drumsticks were incredible. Crab cakes a bit small Kid-friendliness: Not really a kids restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: Very tight for a wheelchair, several sets of stairs

We first tried Paradiso in early January 2024; & really enjoyed it SO we went back this past week and .. we loved it! We had a nice table for 2 & our waitress. Sasha, was so personable & attentive. We enjoyed fabulous meals from the daily special & the regular menu. The quality was fresh, flavourful & hot no heat lamps at Paradiso your meal comes straight from the pot/stove/oven to your table. We will be back

We love Paradiso, its definitely a Burlington gem. The food is phenomenal. They have good vegetarian options in addition to the rest of their menu. Weve never been disappointed here

Great service and a lovely dinner was had by all of our party of seven. Will definitely return the next time we are down in the area. Cheers

Went here on a date on a Friday night. We got the last reservation time available thankfully. I ordered the Roasted Mushroom Gnocci and shared the Asiago and Smoked Cheddar Dip as a starter. Both are vegetarian dishes and they were absolutely delicious. I love the ambience of the restaurant and their decor. And our server, Sasha, was so lovely and offered such great service. Would definitely recommend this place!

The food was mediocre but what do you expect in Burlington. The one thing that made me very upset that they did not have an appropriate changing table for my baby. Yes you are probably asking why I brought my baby to dinner ( mom and dad still need a date night) regardless I didn t appreciate the changing table to be in the hallway for everyone to see, not sufficient amount of lighting, and unsafe changing table with no seat belt( the changing table was made from bus boy trolley with napkin cover on it) we did however like the crab cakes

Had an amazing experience at Paradiso tonight. Food was absolutely amazing, the environment is very friendly, and our server Heather was attentive, kind and welcoming. Will definitely be back and letting friends and family know about this place! Highly recommend the baked brie and the 12 hour braised short ribs!

Nice place. Friendly good vibe. Better than good food.

Great customer service!

Alphabet Dinner Club resumed this past weekend with the letter P. We traveled to Burlington to Paradiso Restaurant. This place was packed and had such a great vibe. The chocolate martini was a great start (dessert first). So many delicious plates kept arriving at our table - crab cake appetizers were out of this world. The 12 hour braised short rib was fall off the bone tender. Fabulous steak! A chicken dish that included a bread pudding was a big hit and scrumptious pasta dishes were had with the sausage rigatoni and mushroom gnocchi. Time for the real dessert - a caramel peacan tart, flights of creme brule (which is usually my go-to) but the star of the show was the carrot cake! You know everything was tasty when the common phrase throughout our meal was oooh, youve gotta try this and forkfuls were passed (good thing were all family). Our server, Jordan, was a delight with her witty humour and took our jokes in stride. This place is a gem! If youre ever in Burlington, stop in - you wont be disappointed!

Went in without knowing that the restaurant close hour is 9pm. Heather was our server, and she was very attentive and her timing was just right - checking in, asking about the quality of the food, do we need anything etc. We had crab cakes and duck Confit drumsticks for appetizers. Both were great, but the drumsticks were amazing, albeit a bit too salty. For mains we had the Lamb Sugo pasta and braised short rib. The short rib was cooked perfectly, and the accompaniments went very well with the protein. I would have liked to see some more carbs in it though. The Lamb Sugo while good didnt match up to the short rib. The cocktails - negroni, Manhattan and old fashioned could have used a little more love. Overall a great first experience and we shall be back shortly.

From the moment we walked in to the restaurant to the moment we left we were greeted and treated with lots of respect and kindness. Food was delicious and we enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend crab cakes! We will be back! Thank you!

Ive heard a lot about Paradiso and decided we would give it a try. We made a reservation and got seated shortly after we arrived. The place was packed, many around us were talking about how they might have over booked. The lady serving us was super friendly and so nice, she even tried to get us a discount on desert because of how long we waited for our food. The food was good quality and warm from the kitchen. People came around and refilled our drinks and gave us bread while we waited an hour for our food (not too sure what the usual wait time is) The place is lovely and had nice lighting! Nice place to checkout in the village square. Vegetarian options: They had options for vegetarians on the menu

My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary dinner and were treated very well. Hospitality and service were on point. We started with a delicious Duck Confit and followed up with amazing entrees; she had the Moroccan Spiced Atlantic Salmon, I had the 12 Hour Braised Short Rib. The cocktails we had looked sophisticated and tasted great. For dessert, we chose the three crème brûlées and really loved the strawberry and caramel flavours (chocolate was still good). We were well taken care of at Paradiso and left knowing we would be back soon.

Great restaurant with amazing service. Vanessa, our server, explained the options to us and was exceptionally nice. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We used to like the food here 5months ago but when we went back a while ago, menu is different and pricier. We took my inlaws here for the first they re in town- My father in law (french) said the pork he had was mediocre.. No kids menu- we have to asked it and specially made (they accomodate thanks to that!)

They have an interesting approach to Margherita pizza. The crust is fully burnt (not tastefully) and that s just how they make it. I can t recommend it to anyone. Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options available. But don t get their Margherita pizza.

Excellent

The restaurant accommodated our party of 7. Excellent service from first call for a reservation to our farewell. Sasha was our server. Her and her team gave exceptional service. The food for 7 came out hot and fresh. Delicious menu. The atmosphere was perfect for our boisterous team. We sat in a small section off the main dining area which was perfect for not disturbing other patrons. Everyone on my team enjoyed themselves. I m almost certain we will be back. Thank you Sasha!

Went last night for the first time and everything was awesome. The restaurant itself had a very neighborhood feel to it. Comfortable and definitely not stuffy! The menu is smaller, which means everything was fresh not frozen. We shared the grilled calamari (delicious and tender!) and for our mains had the Nicoise Salad with Ahi Tuna and a Caesar Salad and the Duck Confit. The portion sizes were appropriate, generous and more than enough, without being monstrously large and wasteful. Everything was fresh and delicious!! Our server Vanessa elevated an already great experience! She was friendly, professional and went above and beyond for us!! Thanks Vanessa We will definitely be back (can t wait to try the Braised Beef Ribs!!!)

Decent place to eat.

Use to not mind paying good money and getting really good food but they have gone way down hill. Also screaming kids make it hard to have a romantic dinner. And they didnt even care about the food.

I went to Paradiso for a friends birthday. They service was really great and I really liked my crème brûlée dessert and the Brie phyllo appetizer. I also ordered the crab ravioli and that was quite disappointing. It did not have a strong crab flavor and overall was very bland. For that price I expected much better. I also ordered the non spirited hibiscus drink and for $10 and no alcohol it was a very small serving and did not taste very good. Given all the great restaurants in Burlington I don t know that this would be my first choice of places to return.

AMAZING AND OUTSTANDING SERVICE BY COLIN our server for a family celebration of life. Great meal, great ambiance but the service was excellent which is something very hard to find nowadays. THANK YOU Colin for being better than the best and for showing us that great service still exists. Sylvia anf family

The food is awesome with generous portions and the staff is very friendly.

Went to Paradiso for lunch today. We had the calamari which were great! The focaccia bread was delicious too! Lastly we had a margarita pizza and a pizza carne! Oh so good!

Food was outstanding! Our server was lovely. Will definitely go again.

Food and service are always amazing. Never disappointed

Amazing, attentive service. Food is absolutely delicious. Loved that the menu highlighted which items were gluten free - would recommend trying the Niçoise salad with steak or the calamari starter. Hope to be back soon!

Lunch service food was mediocre at best - very disappointing. Setting was just ok, service was good. Drink menu reasonably priced. Would not recommend or go back due to the food - much better options in DT Burlington.

We were passing through the town of Burlington and Paradiso caught our eyes. We were not disappointed. Fabulous venue, very inviting, comfortable, cozy, had a warm welcome and we were sold on the establishment. Tall menu, all the dishes were 5*, staff are friendly and helpful and there is an open kitchen. The complimentary focaccia is . We will surely return to try more dishes. Vegetarian options: Available Dietary restrictions: Ask and it will done Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: yes

We went here for the first time. We really enjoyed the calamari, salmon, pork tenderloin, and salads. What we were also impressed was with the service. From the time were greeted to staff serving us, excellent! We will be coming back for sure.

First time at this nice restaurant. Friendly service. Tried their wrapped baked brie, mushroom pizza and steak sandwich; appetizing. Would like to see more pizza variety on the menu. Worth trying! Recommended dishes

Such a lovely place to spend your special occasion in. From the dinner menu, my favorites are Roasted trout and Moroccan chicken.

Great food, nice atmosphere and reasonable price.

I am satisfied with the restaurant response. Our return visit was great.

Not much to say. They re great on all levels.

Three friends for lunch. Excellent food, we had the sausage rigatoni and the ravioli. Amazing! Amazing server!

We had a large group that we dined with. Was a wonderful experience with the right price, great speed of food delivery and overall very nice and classic atmosphere. Im not from the area but i would definitely recommend this beautiful little gem for either intimate 2 person dinner up to large groups. Kid-friendliness: Basic menu so you dont need much thought but my kids loved the pizza.

The service was excellent, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. We had the antipasti with burrata (perfection), a pizza and the Moroccan chicken - all of it was fantastic. Can t wait to visit again.

Awesome food, great staff and service. Thank you

friendly staff, and the food was delicious!

Hosted a milestone birthday at Paradiso for a group of 10 and it was a fantastic experience. The food was excellent and every guest raved about it. We had helpful advice and support in planning the menu and drink list and the service the night of was friendly and attentive. The semi private room was perfect as it wasnt too formal but had a beautiful and special ambience to celebrate. Also appreciated that staff didnt rush us out, even though it was past closing time. Highly recommend Paradiso for dinner and events!

Happened to be in Burlington Waterfront on a Monday night. Was craving some Italian food and Im glad I found this restaurant. Food was really good and the service was great. The Carne Pizza and the creme burlee are a must try!

Good food and very lovely service located in Burlington downtown.

Always one of my favourite places to go, from the second you walk in the door the entire experience is always on point. The food is always amazing and the service has always been friendly and professional. I try to spend as many days nights here as I can. To top it off, the management is hospitable and kind.

Its not the great, but its okay. Rethinking about the quantity would be a good idea. Food : 2/5

Dined on the patio, at Burlingtons great location near the lake, and had a delicious dinner. We shared the brie appetizer, and for main courses, the garlic shrimp dish and a margarita pizza. Nicely presented with generous portions and very reasonable prices. Will recommend to friends and will definitely go back again.

We hosted our wedding reception in the private dining room. The food, service, decor and ambience was perfection. I m so lucky we were able to drop off our cake, table decor and additional items before the store opened. The staff had preprared the room for us for 5pm, as they had a prior booking until 4pm. The staff were attentive, helpful, courteous and always on time! All of our guests raved about the food - the presentantion and taste was impeccable. Thank you Christa Jupp & Team for being a part of our special day! Will 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Really delish and awesome service. I thought the spaghetti in the bolognese was a bit over cooked. The spicy pineapple margarita was amazing. The white bean and fennel salad was also great. Would recommend the Moroccan chicken. The focaccia they bring to start is actually a highlight. It s SO fluffy and beautifully seasoned.

First time here to celebrate my son birthday. Located in downtown burlington, the restaurant offers a spacious, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Great to see the kitchen open to the views of the guests. Friendly service and the food could be in your table sooner than you expect. Gourmet style food leaves you satisfied. (The portions could be a little bigger:). We like the place. Nice detail from them: a gift certificate and a delicious dessert!!. Thanks Paradiso. It was a great celebration!

Our daughter has a bunch of allergies and weve always had a tough time eating out. Most restaurants are not very accommodating however that is not the case with Paradiso. This was our 3rd trip to today and let me tell you, the staff is super friendly yet professional, food is tasty and reasonably priced and the staff from servers to the managers are very understanding and caring. They have always accommodated for my daughter and cooked something off the menu for her. She loves going to Paradiso. Tonite Adam took good care of us. Thank you, well be going back soon. We highly recommend this place for Family dinners and events. All other restaurants should learn how to treat their customers from Paradiso.

Always a great food experience at Paradiso! Thank you!

Outstanding Service and Meal! Friendly and attentive service staff that goes over and above for the perfect experience. The food is second to none, with Vegetarian and Gluten Free Options. The Oven Roasted Salmon practically melted in my mouth with a blend of sweet, spicy and savory. My friend ordered the feature Butternut Squash Ravioli and loved every morsel. Vegetarian options: There were several vegetarian options and the staff are always happy to help guide you to something that can be modified too

Located in the cutest little area of all time, really gave off European villa vibes, with efficient, timely and friendly service! Went for a birthday lunch with my sister and my dad, and it was delicious. Food was flawless, filling and flavourful. My sister has been before, so she took us, and it was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and wonderful, and the ambiance outside on the side patio area was just too cute with all the stringed lights and flowers. Definitely will be coming back again!!! Vegetarian options: Had LOTS of vegetarian options available.

The atmosphere was nice, dishes and plating was great! Our server seemed to be lack luster and not very engaging. I ordered duck confit drumsticks and it was obvious the duck was pre-cooked, not at all presented as described in menu, no mashed potatoes, no greens and the put some spicy sauce to, in my opinion, to hide the fact the duck drumettes were re heated and dry. My friend had the speghitini bolganase and enjoyed. What was truly disappointing is the server did not ask how it was, did I want a box. He knew! What a shame.

The salad nicoise w steak was super yummy and our waitress was super nice! I think the only thing that might stop me from coming back is that the menu could use a little more variety.

Paradiso s was very busy tonight but still managed to deliver with professional and friendly service from Sasha. Great atmosphere. Not very often does an experience exceed expectations but tonight Paradiso s excellent cuisine and service did just that. Highly recommend.

Our group of six really enjoyed our dinner. Starters were great! Grilled calamari was tender and flavorful, well seasoned. Sampler platter was a hit too, everything was fresh and tasty. Baked brie was a hit. I had the sausage and rigatoni. Sauce was fantastic and flavourful, pasta was just right. Would definitely have it again. My partner had the chicken, which was tender juicy and beautifully herbed. I tried both the margherita and carne pizzas, and the mushroom ravioli. Everything was great. This place is definitely food forward. Ill rank atmosphere highly in part due to the location in the village Square and walkability of the area, though the dining room was also comfortable. Service was friendly, accommodating, and efficient. The food, however, makes it. Will go again!

Great service and great food. I highly recommend the crab cakes. That app was definitely the highlight of my meal! Besides that all our entrees were fantastic. Good service and they were also very attentive.

Good food but not terrific. Disappointed by the fact that the menu has changed and there was no more 12-h braised beef cheeks gnocchi. Apparently a fan-favourite but they dropped it from the menu. Raviolis had too much pepper. The baked Brie was good. Niagara mist was good too. But not sure I d go back there for these dishes. Parking: Free parking in downtown Burlington after 6PM. 50 meters away.

We wandered into Paradiso by chance this afternoon while out for a walk, myself with two friends, and we were pleasantly surprised by this wonderful gem. The service was super friendly and helpful. They were ever so attentive. The food was amazing. Portions were generous and flavour was superb. I had the Rigatoni with sausage and I started with the gazpacho which was very flavourful. We started outside but they quickly ushered us inside when a huge storm came upon us. Can t wait to go back again soon. Everything about this place made us feel like we were in paradiso.

The calamari was served grilled, never had it that way before and yummy it was awesome. The pizza was a Dave Portnoy 6.0, it was good but not worth a 30 minute drive.

Excellent dinner and received $25 gift certificate as it was a birthday dinner. The food is delicious. Easy be to book in line. Been to both Oakville & Burlington. Burlington has more ambience.

We came on a perfect summer day sitting at the peaceful patio. We enjoyed the vibe and the food so much. Will definitely be back

We happened upon Paradiso quite by accident last Tuesday evening. Our original dinner plans had fallen through when another spot closed early at 8:30pm, leaving us in search of a last-minute meal. Thankfully, the chef at the closing restaurant knew of a wonderful little gem just down the street and directed us to Paradiso. Stepping inside, it was clear we had stumbled upon a true neighborhood Italian kitchen. The hostess, though a bit frazzled by the unexpected evening rush, of half full restaurant, seated us promptly. The dining room is a warm, romantic and inviting ambiance. Our server was friendly and attentive, quickly learning our tastes and offering knowledgeable recommendations from the kitchen. The food, as one would hope from an authentic Italian spot, did not disappoint. While the fennel seemed to make a heavier appearance than Im used to, the flavors were richly satisfying. We shared the rigatoni with spicy sausage ragù and a classic Italian carne pizza, both generous portions. But it was the Caesar salad that truly embodied everything I love about the dish - tangy, creamy, crunchy and with just the right amount of garlic. All in all, Paradiso proved the perfect find on a night when our plans went awry. The welcoming staff and homestyle cooking made us feel like regulars, not strangers off the street. I have no doubt well be back the next time our travels bring us through Burlington, Ontario. This not so hidden gem deserves repeat visits. Vegetarian options: Only a few good vegetarian options. Wheelchair accessibility: Older building is a little tougher for wheelchairs

I am very surprised with the rating of this restaurant; 4.5?? Wow. Maybe they were having a bad day when I had visited. The waiters were kind, a little slow checking in on us but not terrible. The atmosphere was nice. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the food. If you were served this food you would not think its Mediterranean.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary recently with a close knit group. The service was outstanding, the food was incredible and we would highly recommend this Paradiso in Village Square.

Great food! The interior could be updated which would level up the ambience but otherwise, enjoyed the visit

Only $23 for one of the tastiest plates of pasta I have ever eaten. This is our favourite restaurant.

Calamari, Ahi Tuna and Moroccan Chicken all 10/10 .for the service too. Adam looks after us from wine to desert. Dietary restrictions: Made exceptions for a dairy allergy.

Great place for a nice dinner in Burlington! I was pleasantly surprised as it was my first time here how good the food was. The grilled calamari was delicious and a nice char. We got the crab ravioli and the spaghettini bolognese and they were both delicious! Service was also great. Would recommend as a date night spot or for a casual dinner out!

Fantastic, place with many spaces. Something on the menu for everyone!

We had our Mothers. 90th birthday dinner there last night. Everthing was great. They went out of there way to make it special. Thanks Paradiso.

We have had the risotto, gnocchi and bolognese pasta! It was delish! Highly recommend

Very nice place, great food and kind attentive service.

Had a lovely birthday dinner last night at this restaurant. Heather, our waitress was very helpful and was able to help accommodate a food intolerance I had. I was really appreciative for her going above and beyond and caring. Great food at this restaurant. Highly recommend!

Good service. Mushroom ravioli was great. Duck confit was cooked well but could ve done without the ranch dressing, had to wipe it all off. Duck confit with dill ranch lol the French would have a fit. Edit: the owners can t even get my name right in the reply. New level of ignorant unlocked. You don t put herb cream AKA dill ranch in duck confit my friend. Call it something else like hows dark wing duck at the ranch lol. I shouldn t have to tell you not to put it, you should warn customers they re getting reheated duck with ranch to smother the taste.

We had a delightful experience at this charming restaurant! The meat was perfectly cooked to our liking, the ravioli was rich with flavor, and the chicken was incredible. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making our evening truly special. The attentive staff added a personal touch to our meal, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Well definitely be returning for more culinary delights.

This restaurant accommodated our large party without a reservation. The serve was amazing - friendly and attentive. I had the margarita pizza, which was fantastic. The house focaccia is delicious and plentiful. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food as well.

My wife and I went to Paradiso for an anniversary lunch. It was our first time there, although we had always wanted to go as it is in Burlington s charming Village Square. Our experience could not have been better. I had just hoped for a quality lunch - they made me seem like Husband of the Year for planning it! We were seated in a booth overlooking their beautiful wine collection and lovely elegant decor. Heather took great care of us. The duck confit drumettes were to die for they were cooked perfectly and just slid off the bone, and my wife could not get enough of the deceptively simple Yukon gold mashed potatoes that came with them as a side. We also split a delicious Caesar salad. Overall I can not recommend this place highly enough, whether for a special occasion as we enjoyed or just a great place to sit back with friends, have a nice glass of wine and some great food, and enjoy life.

Love this restaurant! Food is delicious, service is great and staff are very efficient. Highly recommend this place. Perfect for special occasions and casual lunch/dinner dates and parties.

The worst experience I have had in so many years. There were two menu options I chose (Im vegan) but the waiter came back and said neither could be accommodated. I understand that but no suggestions were made, he just gave me back the menu and left our table. He didnt engage us, didnt smile - we really had the feeling that he could not care less about us or our experience there. I ended up have the most pitiful salad and bread. Ill avoid it next time and walk to one of the many other restaurants in that area that know how to treat their customers.

A belated review for a birthday dinner for four on Wednesday 22nd November. All agreed that the food was excellent in quality, temperature and presentation .and timely. Not served too quickly or too slow. Appetizers as well. The wine promo on Wednesdays was a nice bonus. Sasha (sp?) was warm and friendly and an engaged server and kudos for checking in often. Not the norm in the restaurant Industry post CoVid. Thanks for making the evening special including dessert.

Great service, great food! The pizza was delicious!

The food and service here are incredible, I absolutely love it. I noticed they gave plenty of gluten free options and apparently they have a vegetarian menu you can request too. Our meals were amazing so we decided on a little dessert and it was incredible, this place knocks it out of the park!

So delicious!!! We had the winterlicious menu and it was so good. I had the butternut squash raviolis, the potato leek soup and the flourless cake. Wow. My husband had the salmon. It was all perfection. Service was excellent and fast, too. Highly recommend!!

Incredible top notch restaurant service was excellent, food was delicious and overall value is a rare find these days! Thank you so much

Excellent experience! Food was absolutely impeccable and the service was exceptional! Highly recommend the Bellini Martini, Italian Sausage Rigatoni, and the Phyllo Baked Brie! We especially loved the baked Brie as it came with an amazing jam to pair together. We absolutely devoured it. Overall amazing experience it s a 10/10 from me!

Excellent service. Great food especially the Moroccan chicken and all four of us loved the desserts

I just had the most amazing beet salad with a side of ahi tuna.

Always love this restaurant! Pizza is perfection, crab ravioli amazing and the foccacia is soo good! Pecan tart was divine... service is always great - cant wait to go back!

Great location and a short walk from the waterfront boardwalk. It was a busy place (reservation recommended) and our server was fantastic. The menu is relatively small but have great options for different tastes. There is a great selection of starters (roasted pepper soup was great as well as the burrata). I recommend the Moroccan chicken, very juicy and flavourful. I would definitely go back if I m in the area again.

I made reservations for a Saturday night and was totally impressed by the service as well as the food. Many people rave about the crab cakes and they are totally justifiable. We overstayed closing time without realizing how fast time had passed and nobody gave us a hard time. A lovely place for a date

Fast friendly service, great pizza!

My mother and I came.. The food was great, we had crab ravioli with the sausage penne. Sasha if youre reading this you were amazing.. very helpful with wine choices, making sure we were happy, and overall very sweet, but not fake sweet if you knoe you know. Overall great place, prices also in a good range for the food.

The chicken is done professionally and creatively! Love the roasting and the filling. It makes it really stands out to other roasted chicken. And the service is amazing too.

First time here on the suggestion of a friend and it was very pleasant experience. One of our party requires a walker and a staff member quickly brought out a small ramp to get over the small step into the restaurant. Suggestions we made by the server and we had a absolutely delicious thin crust pizza to start followed with their homemade burgers which incorporate chorizo sausage in the patty and served on a really great bun. The service was attentive and efficient with pleasant decor and comfortable seating. Would definitely come back and try some other items on the menu.

Just recently we had our 50th wedding anniversary dinner at Paradiso. With the help of their hostess Christa it was arranged for the small private room at the back of the restaurant for 21 people. We were all, my husband, myself and our guests so very impressed with the evening we had arranged. We had a fixed menu with choices offered for each course. The food, the service, the staff, the atmosphere were absolutely wonderful! We are so very pleased to have chosen Paradiso for this special event in our lives. It just couldn t have been better!! Thank you so very much Paradiso!

Excellent food, service was great, would definitely return and recommend. I had the Moroccan chicken and crème brûlée yummm

Nice place, good ambiance. $$$

Pet unfriendly patio - servers will serve you pizza with a frown on their face even if your dog is tied outside of the restaurant - good tasing food though

really good service and good food we tried duck and fish want to try lamb but no lamb anymore sad

First time in Paradiso and were surely looking forward to coming back soon. The food was excellent and the service to match. Very happy with our dinner and we highly recommend this restaurant!

What an amazing restaurant! Service was amazing and food was amazing! Went to the Burlington location! Must try!

Antipasto, Cesar, Grilled Chicken. All delicious, service was awesome. Very much recommended.

No wheelchair accessibility??? Your restaurant has incredible food, you need to include all people. You have narrowed the sidewalk in front of the building so wheelchair dependent people can t pass, roped off a section you may be able to enter and fenced off the entire west end of the patio where the ramp is located! Really, it s 2022, please be inclusive.

Delicious! Very Friendly server Sasha!

Let me start by saying Im a big fan of Paradiso. I always enjoy their Moroccan Chicken and Im still choked that their braised beef gnocchi is no longer on the menu. I always have high praises and have enjoyed the Oakville location over 50 times. Somehow when Im in the area the Burlington location seems to fall short. I was there last Wednesday and ordered 6 dishes Moroccan chicken off course and went with the recommendation of the crab ravioli. Service was good and the food was good. Today I went and had the dinner for 2 and the crab ravioli was very bland, runny and flavorless. The ravioli pieces seemed smaller then the ones I ordered a week ago. I let the waitress know it was very bland and to inform the kitchen. It was almost like a cheese ravioli as there was no hint of crab at all unlike last week. About 70% was left on the plate and she still had charged us for it. No manager or supervisor or chef said a word even though we were right in front of them. They still charged us for the crab ravioli. I will be back to paradiso, sadly only the Oakville location. The 2 star was given instead of 1 because the service was ok, and Moroccan Chicken was on point.

Nice patio. Tasty food. Quick service.

Had a lovely dinner experience here. Ive been meaning to visit for years after hearing many rave reviews and they did not disappoint. We had the crab ravioli which they kindly adjusted the spice factor on the sauce. So flavourful! Also had the pickled salad with seared Tuna. Again delicious! Our server was pleasant and attentive. A definite gem here in burlington!

I had the Tuna nicoise, my friends had the 12 hour short rib and the burrata salar (ahi tuna). The food was delicious and the service was good. Prices were reasonable. (41 for a ahi tuna salad + glass of wine). I would definitely come back here.

I will definitely be dining here again the next time I m in the area. The crab ravioli was very good and the service was fast, friendly and attentive.

We sat on the patio and had a pleasant dining experience. I had the beat salad which was delicious and trout which was ok. Others had the other white fish, rigatoni which they liked. For dessert the pecan pie was scrumptious. Very sweet but delish!

Duck drumsticks are freaking awesome!

I rarely write a review. But I must tonight. Firstly......I dont understand the 4-5 star reviews. Cant be real according to my experience. Went to Paradiso Burlington at around 4pm. Ordered gnocchi to share with a friend. Food was delivered promptly but I asked for fresh pepper and parmesan, which never came. My friend had to get up and ask our waiter for it. Finally, they literally dropped a small salt and pepper shaker on our table and walked away before we could speak. Not fresh pepper! By now my food was cold and I asked for a take out box. I asked for a glass of ice for my water and a waitress, who was moving tables around the whole time we were there actually yelled across the restaurant at me that it was coming! Thats after again having to get up and get our waiter yet again. Four times we had to leave our table to get his attention!!! And we were there before dinner rush. We also had to ask for our bill after wed finished our wine and sat at our uncleared table for 20mins. No offer of dessert.....not that wed stay for it anyway. It was after 7pm when we left. Three hours wasted! Treated rudely and ignored! This is NOT what our experience has been at the Oakville location. Service was horrible. Food was cold and subpar. I will not dine here again.

Love this place!! Food is always so so good and service is amazing! Thank you so much:)

Very delicious calamari, bread with olive oil

First things first. WOW. The food was so delicious, words don t do it justice. I had the bruschetta to start, which was sooo yummy! And the crab ravioli entree which was to die for. They are so generous with their portions and the sauce is so rich and creamy. Wow. Just wow. We will definitely be back! I think this will be my birthday dinner spot as well! :)

Poor service, food and wine list.

The restaurant seemed nice enough when we entered but we were led into the back room which was almost empty (just one other table occupied) It was dingy, drab and very dated and unfortunately it didn t set the tone for a nice evening out. The food was average, the salad was overdressed and my Brie with phyllo had uncooked phyllo in the centre. Even the bread they served was greasy. On the plus side the service was pleasant.

Wow wow wow had my family visiting from Scotland came across this beautiful little restaurant Omg best food I have ever tasted, the steak was to die for, cooked to perfection so was potatoes and salad, I can t praise it highly enough. This is my new to go to restaurant staff were amazing too. Compliments to the chef.

A very popular restaurant in the area, service was okay and food took a bit of time to come out as it was a full house. I had the Moroccan Chicken, the roasted potatoes were amazing I liked it more than the chicken, the dish was very well flavoured and I enjoyed it overall.

Pizza very bad

Great resto. Food was amazing! Highly recommend trio creme brule! Parking: Hard parking, green p located right in the village sq. Food : 5/5 |

Good service and foods. I was there for a business dinner and staff were very accommodating. We only tried set menu for the event and I had a pork chop. It came with some vegetables and mash potatoes. Was not salty and was just right for me.

Always a great meal and friendly service

Paradiso helped me put on such a fabulous baby shower this weekend! My guests loved the food and the party room is so beautiful, staff were also very friendly with excellent service. I would recommend Paradiso to anyone wanting to host an event thatll wow your guests.

We where there last night to celebrate a special birthday and it was Great. We where in a room at the back which accompanied are family very well as we have small family members. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the servers where top notch. Thanks again for the wonderful evening Kid-friendliness: Room at the back was great little people could get up and walk around. Anyone who has small people in their lives knows that sitting still can be very difficult for them.

The food is five star. You could spend more on less quality food at two of the most upscale restaurants in Burlington, and it s not half as good as at Paradiso. Congrats to the chef, and the amazing staff

This place is absolutely fantastic. The service is remarkable, first class food quality, creative dishes, and incredible attention to detail. I was in Burlington for a week and end up coming back to this restaurant until I tried basically the whole menu. It was solid every single time. The Moroccan chicken was my favorite dish!

Would recommend this restaurant as a great place. Staff were wonderful and the food was delicious. 2022-12-20

We always enjoy a date night here. Severs are excellent. Food is top notch. Prices arent low but you get what you pay for. I will say i didnt love the seating in the back, but was only sat there once

Fantastic service. Extremely attentive and friendly service by Colin. He is a real professional. I would highly recommend this establishment and the wonderful food and service. I had the crab cakes and antipasto salad. It was traditionally prepared Italian fare.

We had a great meal here tonight with friends. Food and atmosphere were fantastic.

Excellent food and service.

A wonderful, much better-than-average dining experience. The food was excellent and nicely presented. Colin, the waiter, is one of the best in this industry. I highly recommend dinning here and will certainly be back soon. Fr. Ken

Great staff and the ambiance is very nice. A really nice place to go. We had the Morrocan chicken, the Angus Striploin and the Crab Ravioli. All of them were delicious and the créme bruleé trío was the perfect dessert

Me and my family ( from Italy) went there for lunch on Aug 29th 2021. We booked a table but they were super flexible in term of choice for indoor or outdoor. The menu has a very good choice and very focus( not 5 pages) The server ( Sasha) was excellent! Food was great , very quickly and it was served at proper temperature. Totally recommended!

We went Paradiso last weekend. We were seated outside at their patio. Our waiter was great, food was fantastic. We throughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back here again.

Booking was a little quirky .. special occasion? Yes .. then each subsequent person asked the same question .. but service, choice and ALL dishes .. from starters, to salads, through dinner and ending in desserts .. all of them .. dee-lish!! We were celebrating my only niece getting married .. we couldnt be here Saturday so ... And it was fabulous! Well be back!!

The Braised Beef Gnocchi is a must try!

Plate cost is not worth it, very little serving.

Great food!!! Amazing dinner

Had a great birthday meal here for my dad. Moroccan chicken was ordered and enjoyed by half the table. Calamari appetizer us amazing, and they know how to cook calamari properly. Would highly recommend both those dishes. Ive also had the nicoise salad here which was good, but not as good as todays chicken. Friendly service and a nice patio.

We had visited the Paradiso Oakville location several years ago but were trying the Burlington location for the first time. We discovered that of the several restaurants we tried, Paradiso is one that accepts requests for patio bookings)! The team promptly confirmed our booking and followed up with a gentle reminder one day before our luncheon reservation on Monday, as requested. Their staff was very friendly and helpful. Our meal was great and the house wine (a Malbec, quite delightful). I am taking away a star because the Red Sangria I ordered was not up to par at all. Hopefully, it will be better next time, for we certainly intend to visit them again for their ambiance, good food and attention to satisfy their customers. Thanks!

This restaurant is pretty good. Not a full 5 star. It s expensive and nothing was super memorable. Nice patio & location.

Great patio spot tucked in the village. Bruschetta, pizza and gnocchi were all perfect. Friendly service and a mouthwatering menu

Paradiso restaurant in Burlington was spectacular for our wedding lunch. Very professional from the correspondence to the private room set up for us. The 4 course meal was superb and all left very full and satisfied, complements to the chef!

We had the pizza and crab ravioli. It was so good . And the service was friendly and timely

Well done. Everything we ordered was excellent. Crab cakes, pasta, Ceasar salad, creme brulea. Everything tasted made from scratch.

Great food, great service! Go for the gnocchi, it s awesome!

Since moving to Burlington we have been working our way through the local restaurants. Weve now been to Paradiso twice in the last two weeks and have been very impressed with both the food and service. Both times we wanted something light and we shared a salad and the Margerita Pizza. Quite surprised at the size of the restaurant. Lots of room in nice surroundings. Well make Paradiso one of our regular stops.

Food was average but nice quiet spot for a Saturday lunch.

Great food and service as usual. As we were with a senior using a walker, I was extremely impressed with the step ramp they put down to make it easier for her to enter / leave the restaurant. They were consistently being proactive for accessibility, something one rarely sees. They were also kind enough to bring a slice of birthday cake for grandma. All-in-all an exceptional experience.

Delicious lunch with attentive and friendly service.
