Paradiso in Oakville

I have been coming here for over 30 years! Imagine...and everything is still amazing!! So happy we have Paradiso in our life!

Nice food selection. Their vegetarian menu features a few nice items. I like to go there just to see the chef in action with their open kitchen.

Food served was immaculate. Staff were friendly and attentive. Would visit again.

I booked this as a place for a family get together pre-christmas. We had our own private area, service was impeccable and the food was excellent. Good selection of great wines at a reasonable price.

Great service and delicious food.

Went here for a family event. Staff was very nice and the food was good.

I shared dinner with seven of my sorority sisters this evening. We had a little area to ourselves with our waitress or server Robin. Everything about the evening was perfect, including Robin. She anticipated our needs for drinks and for take out boxes and we did not have to wait for our appetizers with the meals coming shortly thereafter. The timing for the entire meal was just perfect. I also have celiac disease with tree nut and shell fish allergies. Both Robin and the Head Chef made sure I was accommodated and I had no issues. I ordered the pork loin dinner and it was moist and tender. It was a large meal for me to finish so I now have a second meal to enjoy at home. A big thank you to Robin and Paradiso for a wonderful pre-Christmas celebration. We were also given a gift certificate to use on our next visit and I will be bringing my hubby back to enjoy this special place. Nancy

Good food, good service. Expensive though.

The team provided dinner for my group of friends last evening and it was terrific. We were hosting 14 people in our home and decided, with so many dietary concerns, that Paradiso would be the best restaurant to use. What a great job! Thanks to Valerie and Steve for your suggestions, assistance and superb packaging for take-home.

Good food, service and atmosphere.. Overall had a nice evening celebrating my wifes birthday. Used a Groupon, with no issues. The only thing I would say is that parking is tricky, especially on a Saturday night, down town Oakville. Had to park a fair distance away after searching up and down the streets. Once we got there, everything was great.

Great food. Highly recommended.

Very nice relaxed place. We ate in the patio and had vegetarian gnocchi and crab cakes - all very good though crab cakes needed extra salt. Very friendly service.

Im adding to my original review because I chose Paradiso a second time to host another event. I dealt with Laura once again and she made it incredibly easy. On the day of, the team was outstanding! Next time, I wont even shop around. This is now my go to for all private events. Im so glad I chose this place to host a birthday luncheon! My first conversation was with Laura. She provided very clear answers to all my questions. I almost couldnt believe how nice she was. At that point, I had called about 12 other places. Without exception all those others sounded rushed and impatient but Laura was pleasant and made the process simple. On the day of the luncheon, I got there early to set up some decorations. I was greeted by a very helpful gentleman named Steve. I wasnt there long before Rosie came to introduce herself as the person who would be serving the luncheon. She was beyond nice! She even helped me blow up balloons when she saw me concerned about not being ready on time. The place looked wonderful and everything was super organized. The food was delicious!! Rosie was efficient and spoke to everyone with a smile even when some of the small kids were being a bit rambunctious . I highly recommend this restaurant. What a great team!

Great pasta, brie starter is delicious, and good vibes. Thanks Robin for the excellent service!

I visited a delightful restaurant over the weekend, and I was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was incredibly cozy, creating a warm and inviting environment. The food was outstanding delicious and well-prepared. However, what truly set this place apart was the top-notch service. The staff was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning soon!

Service was great even though very busy we were never neglected. Food and drinks were all great. we celebrated my sons birthday and they gifted him a gift card!

Incredible experience everytime I go. Great food, great desserts, great atmosphere. Charles (Manager) is always on top of his customer service game.

After a family lunch, we were annoyed with waiting so long for the waitress to appear (almost 20 minutes) and then waiting even more to get served (almost 30 minutes). I believe they really need more staff on weekends to avoid making such bad experiences for guests. But the food tastes were good, and I have no complaints about that.

Great restaurant, the food is always delicious and so well balanced in flavors. The staff is friendly and attentive, and its a cozy place with plenty of seating for bigger parties.

Love Paradiso! Was there for dinner with a friend last Sat. I no longer live in Oakville so hadnt been to Paradiso in a long time. Service was fantastic as it always has been! The bread was unique & top notch. My friend had Steak Nicoise & I had Jalapeño Cheddar Risotto-both were delicious along with ! ! We shared fantastic spicy warmed carrotcake with tasty cream cheese icing. Ill be back for sure.

We live in Guelph and were looking for a restaurant that was close to Oakville Center for a nice dinner out before a concert. I looked at a few places and settled on Paradiso after looking at their menu. I have to start by saying that our server, Laura, was beyond fantastic. She was friendly, attentive and right on point with her recommendations. For starter cocktails my husband had an Old Fashioned and I had a French Martini. Both were great. They bring complimentary focaccia bread with herbed olive oil for dipping. I could have just eaten this bread all night! It is melt in your mouth DELICIOUS and I am not exaggerating one little bit. For entrees, we ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir and we both had the flank steak. We can both be picky, but Im pretty sure that my husband would have licked his plate clean if that was socially acceptable lol I asked for medium well and he asked for medium rare and both were cooked exact and the whole dish was seasoned to perfection. We ended with Cheesecake and the Flourless Chocolate Torte. What an amazing dinner. A big thank you to Paradiso and our server Laura for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be returning soon and many more times to follow.

Always a great experience. Really good food from the pasta to the steak. Staff is always courteous and pricing is in line. They prepare the food in an open kitchen clearly visible. You may pick up a trick or two.....Update, Another great night and a great pasta.

Was there for a family event where we had the back private room. The service is always impeccable, the food is amazing, and the space is lovely. We were served flat bread pizzas as starters along with wine, wine, and more wine! There was a pre-selected menu where you had 2-3 choices for app, main, dessert. I had the Tomato soup and Tortellini, and for some reason I cant remember what happened for dessert. Either way, it would have been delicious! Private room could fit up to 50 people Id guess. Parked on Church Street (load of lots there).

We checked out the family owned business Paradiso in Oakville. WoW, what a lovely establishment. The food was delicious, drinks were on point, and the dessert was so heavenly that I had to have another to have for breakfast . Phyllo Wrapped Baked Brie Espresso Martini Special fish of the day Salted Caramel Pecan Tart

Loved it, couple times now, everything has been dynamite.

We came for my mothers birthday and we were blown away by the service. I reserved in advance and noted that it was my mothers birthday. We were seated promptly, the service was really fast and our server was very friendly and attentive. When it came time to order dessert they brought my mom a chocolate cake and also gave her a $25 gift card for her next visit. This place is a gem and they understand what customer service is!

So delicious! Had heard so much about this place so gave it a shot. Ordered the roasted tomato soup and baked brie for apps. Both super flavourful and delicious. Highly recommend the brie. For mains, ordered the sausage rigatoni and the meat pizza. The sausage rigatoni pasta was by far my favorite. So much depth in flavor. Days later Im craving more! Definitely recommend and will be back soon!

Went the other weekend for dinner. Service was excellent. For my entree, the salmon was cooked well but unseasoned, rest of the dish was a flop. Avocado chimmichurri was bitter/unseasoned/messy-looking. Gazpacho--bitter/lacking flavour. Quinoa salad (basically just shallots and a dressing) tasted weird and nearly slimy. It is somewhat my fault for ordering this as these ingredients do sound like a weird combo anyway, but its best to make sure all the elements of your dish are spot-on before giving it to patrons

Laura, is such a wonderful server. She has the best service and personality! Food was very exceptional, the chef is amazing! Thanks so much Laura for making our night so great!

Excellent evening at Paradiso. Great atmosphere, friendly and prompt service. The food was really tasty and unpretentious. We had crab cakes, duck confit to start. Both excellent. Mains were Pork chop, very juicy and flavourful. Niçoise salad, fresh and bright flavours, generous amount of perfectly prepared tuna. The burger which a not easy to please teen, loved and flank steak, also thoroughly enjoyed. Nice job Paradiso!

Always a great meal and service here

What a treat what a meal it was delicious it is hard to impress me in a restaurant but this place nailed it My friends Scott and Laura and little Noah surprised me today with their company and took me to this place by chance and the waitress is very nice and meal as i said was fantastic. the duck dish was smashing it, even the salad was proper...the salmon dish bang on...as somebody that knows a great deal about cooking fish i aint got a bad thing to say

This place has the best grilled calamari. And Ive traveled a lot lot the world to say that!

I really enjoyed this resto prior to covid when they had a price fix but I wont be back again since I recently saw they posted on socials about having a dogs & pub night every thurs 7-9. Since when should dogs be on patios or around food this is highly unhygenic inappropriate im tired of the entitlement of owners not at such establishments do they belong only in parks pls ty their not humans dont treat me as such....

Always a pleasure to dine here ..the food always done superb

Had a fantastic evening dining with friends this evening. Our server Rosie was fantastic. She was attentive and made great suggestions, the pork chop was amazing! Will definitely be back.

Amazing food and service !! We were going to a different place and landed up here just to check out and were very impressed with food quality and service !! Laura was awesome .. her recommendations on food were 10/10 Highly recommended in Oakville !! Will come back soon

A beautiful patio and great service. But the food is hit and miss. Love the calamari and pastas. But the salads are overdressed handfuls of boxed lettuce. Also, the pizza crust is flavourless, cracker-like, seemingly devoid of yeast, and costs $21. Oakville Pizzeria on Kerr needs to intervene. On the plus side, a litre of wine is only $50. TL;DR: prime location, great service, overpriced food.

We celebrated our 29 Anniversary @Paradiso. They took very good care of us. As a bonus, the date night menu was available as it is on Mondays. It was perfect.

Nice place. The kitchen and bar were missing some things otherwise it was great.

Great service and amazing food. The starter bread was incredible!

We held our daughters wedding dinner at Paradisos Oakville location. From the planning stages to the end of the event, the entire experience was exceptional. l was the first to arrive to set-up the event. l was greeted and introduced to staff who would be hosting and offered help as soon as l entered. The help was very much appreciated because l had much to do with less than an hour to do it in. Besides helping, the staff cheered me on because it was obvious how harried l was. We had some requests that we didnt speak about during the planning stages and each and every request was accommodated. The flexibility and efforts of the staff to ensure our wishes were granted are very much appreciated. Glasses were re-filled and plates were cleared promptly. The dinner choices were many and the food was delicious! l 100% recommend hosting at Paradiso Oakville and hope to have the pleasure of returning many times. A heart-felt thank you. You are wonderful!

Ive been here a few times and I feel like they need to work on improving the quality of their vegetation options. My wedding reception was wonderful. The staff are incredibly helpful. I was occasionally confused about what was offered, as it seems they have different information everywhere. My only real complaint is that they must have been understaffed or overbooked as the food came out over a 3 hour period.

From the moment you arrive, you feel a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Delicious food that s a taste experience. Loved it!

I booked the private room for a private event and it was an excellent experience. Great communication, excellent price and service, and the food was very good. 5/5 would recommend.

We visited Paradiso for dinner. We had Spaghetti and baked salmon dishes. Both were very delicious. The service was excellent and would definitely visit again.

Great food. Amazing service. Loved it.

Love the veggie risotto.

Family dinner on the patio. We had lots of leftovers.

The atmosphere and service are well done. The problem is the chef is making weird flavour choices that compromise the delicious ingredients. For example, the duck entree comes with 5 drum sticks, QUITE A LOT, and we enjoy the flavour of duck, but the blue cheese sauce dominates the entire dish. Now the Beef short rib, the most expensive entrée, does indeed melt off the bone after being slowed cooked for 12 hours, but the extra large helping of vinegary pickled onions AGAIN takes over, and the beef and tomatoes cannot be tasted. Another entrée has olive tapenade smothered over it, and so it also takes like olives and nothing else. I think the chef and boss should sit down and taste their own dishes and then consider how to rebalance the flavours. The bathrooms are tiny, hard to find, and even when the restaurant was half full, a line was forming because only 1 or 2 people fit in each bathroom at once.

The staff was beyond helpful and accommodating.

We attended the event in the private room of the restaurant and enjoyed delicious food and absolutely amazing customer service from the staff serving that event.

We had higher expectation from this place... We ordered 5 different entrées, all tasted subpart. Few of them should be on appetizer section since the portions were that small. But it all kinda make sense now. For the amount of tables they have, it was quite dead inside.

Amazing! We visit every time we come through Oakville, and it is consistently awesome. Everything weve ordered has always been great. This time the nichoise salad with tuna was the star, wait, no the gnocchi with zucchini pest and lemon ricotta, no.... the morocan spiced salmon.... no the appetizer.... its impossible to choose! The service is quick, efficient and very accommodating. Robin was so helpful (oh, you both want to share those 2 entrees, Ill bring extra plates!). She also made the most beautiful Shirley Temple ever! (My kiddo felt so special!) Wonderful place, great food, kind people. Its worth a trip out of the way!

eat out a fly

We had a wonderful experience here for lunch today. Excellent location, friendly staff and great food reasonably priced.

Wonderful food and awesome service

We really enjoyed this. The food and service were excellent. Kid-friendliness: Staff are friendly and answer our childrens questions. They have suggested alternatives (like a simple pasta sauce) that arent on the menu too. Food : 5/5 |

Food and service was excellent.

Great place for good food - loved their bread and slow cooked short rib, and steak. Recommend this :)

Amazing experience! Our server Jackie was excellent and the food was wonderful! Thank you for taking care of my dad on his birthday with a sweet treat! Highly recommend

Weve always loved Paradisos, but our server Hannah made it even better! 10/10 experience from start to finish, she was so attentive and friendly!

The food is amazing, the service is superb, my favourite restaurant so far.

Sitting across from the kitchen made me want to quit my day job and work the line again. Food was great, service was great. Looking forward to returning.

Nice location parking free after 6 pm across the street on weekends server was fun and efficient

a family and elegant atmosphere, excellent food and very special attention. super recommended!

Fantastic food. Attentive service. Nice romantic atmosphere for date night dinner.

Paradiso is back! It used to be our go-to place for lunches, dinners and family events for many years. And then the menu got spicy and heavy. Now the food is fantastic again. Taste of Oakville is on, and the menu was great, the service was impeccable ( thanks Rebecca) and we had a really good time. Not sure when the current chef took over, but great change. We will be back. Recommend highly. Thank you!

A great time to try their menu for the Taste of Oakville! I came here with my mom to celebrate. I must say I ve been to this restaurant before and I always remember them for their complimentary bread. I will come here just for their bread! It s so good. We got some Prosecco to start, and the Butternut Squash soup which was made in house and very fresh. I got the mushroom ravioli which was a really nice combination of veggies in the sauce and the pasta was cooked perfectly! We finished with the lime tart and that was extremely fresh! Very great place to try right now for the price fixed menu for $50 a person!

Excellent service and great food from Taste of Oakville

Absolutely astonishing experience! Highly recommend sitting by the kitchen, the show/entertainment was a bonus we did not expect. The staff feels like family and we have never been here before. Before eating we already knew we would be back. Of course the food surpassed our expectations, how could it not. Special thank you to Robin & Valerie who went above & beyond to make our night. Bonus, The chef is an artist AND a comic Who needs the theatre.

The place was nice but there were a few things, The parking in that area was a bit challenging and the food wasnt great. I ordered the Moroccan salmon which was undercooked and my friends ordered the gnocchi which we assumed from the description was going to be a cream base but came out pretty dry. Service was lovely and the restaurant itself was nice but the food couldve been much better.

Great place my wife loves it. So many great restaurants in Oakville give Paradiso a try. Scuba Diver Travel recommended Robert Oakville Divers Parking: lots of parking no problem

Serving flatbreads and calling them pizza. They should be listed as an app and a flatbread. Overall poor quality and very disappointing. $22-$24 each , we bought 4 . Kids didn t like it , so we paid and went to Justino s wood oven pizza on Kerr. Making today the most expensive pizza night of all time .

I was there on a sunday early afternoon, not too busy at the time, after we had our pizza and drink we continue to conversate but our waitress seemed to be pushing us out cause she brought us the bill without even us asking for it, we noticed that and joked about it, I never did mentioned this to a manager but now thinking about it it was a bit rude, could it be cause we were speaking in another language? anyways, I woulndt go back there.

Good meal and a fantastic server Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free and dairy free Food : 4/5 |

Paradiso always delivers on delicious food and great service.

Birthday reservation for 8 people made 6 weeks out and they have the nerve to seat us in the back between the kitchen and bathroom. Fantastic! Let s watch the bathroom door swing open every 30 seconds while eating pasta. Or maybe you prefer watching the kitchen staff bring empty pots and pans by the table for a really beautiful and serene ambience. Just a complete oversight by whoever thought this was ok because nobody should be seated in this area ever! Way to drive your regulars away!

We were in recently and had delicious crab cakes salmon and beet salad.. and the service was amazing. !! From the time we ordered and our server I think Robin was her name brought out our food we were impressed.. she was very pleasant and professional we will definitely return soon..

Great place to eat and provided phenomenal accommodation to our vegan preferences!! Dietary restrictions: My wife has a lot of allergies, and they did a great job of preparing her dinner! We normally do not spend that much on dinner, but it was worth every dollar!!

My fiancé and I hosted our engagement celebration in the private room last weekend. The function coordinator Laura was very helpful the months leading up to it - making the planning go so smoothly. All of our guests were impressed with the service and food, as were we! We had a three course meal and everyone loved all options - thank you Chef and kitchen staff! Thank you Paradiso Oakville for hosting a very special night for us. Everyone enjoyed themselves!

Great experience for dinner! Jaclyn was great and the food and service was exceptional! Even sent a thank you email the next day, will be back!

Good value for Taste of Oakville and overall menu. Parking: After 6pm or Sundays Food : 4/5 |

Fabulous dinner! Delicious and creative food. Wonderful setting with friendly, attentive service.

Fantastic customer service! Generous portions, fresh ingredients, cooked to perfection. The risotto and gnocchi were wonderful. Kind thanks to all the experts at Paradiso for the friendly and professional labours with kindness. We have been living overseas for 10+ years, and Paradiso was as good as we remembered.

I m not one to complain but I literally got a total of 10 pieces of spinach and three slices of tuna in my 30$ salad.

Nice place but the food was extremely average absolutely not worth the price. The spaghetti tasted like it was made from store noodles and sauce. Nothing Italian at all about it. The dessert portions were also ridicoulsy tiny for the prices they costed. Casalinga in clarkson is the best place to go for some real authentic Italian food and experience.

phyllo wrapped brie was great with the carrot jam, and the complimentary focaccia was a nice gesture rigatoni is alright, creme brulees were also nice service was good

Im disappointed beyond words. I ordered mushroom ravioli and margherita pizza. Both were horrendous. The mushroom ravioli was green! The mushrooms wear thrown in there with a thin watery consistency. I mean, in which part of Italy do they make ravioli so terrible? Left such a bad taste in my mouth. The pizza, I never thought they can mess up the simplest of all pizzas. The margherita pizza didnt have any good mozzarella on it and the where is the basil? There was pesto sauce which tasted raw. So disappointed.

Eating out seems to be an expensive venture. Although you get to choose where, the internet makes it easier to see what it costs and what they offer. Our friends chose this restaurant since theyve eaten at the Burlington location and wanted to meet at the Oakville location. The restaurant is nice, its quite big with an open kitchen. The service was good. However, the food was ok and a little overpriced for what you get. We enjoyed our meals since we ate everything, and my rainbow trout was a little overcooked. The flavors were nice, but I found my fish had too much oil. A little less on the dish.

Food was sensational delicious and fresh gnocchis calamari bruschetta Charles Thank you very much for taking the time to explain us the history of the Restaurant. You were courteous attentive in detail warming and amicable. We were lucky to have you serving with professionalism our table. You make our night pleasant and relaxed. Thank you so much. Giannina

It has a nice ambiance and the food was good. Drink portions were on the smaller side with lots of ice.Definitely not worth $15 per cocktail. Our server was okay. We felt weird with how fast-paced and rushed he was. It was not a favourable service nor did the other servers create a warm feeling as they would walk by and give weird stares. Overall, a decent experience for a night out.

We were there on Saturday the Jan 21. We had a random person join us at our table. Was friendly at first but when questioned why he was at our table told me to shut up. When I retorted he then asked me to fight and got up, came over to where I was sitting and asked again. Luckily, he didn t do anything, but from the sounds of it, it wasn t the first time this guy has done this. Luckily, the food was very good.

Great place

Food was excellent and service was great...thought the cheese cake for dessert was just so so.

Excellent food, texture, and flavourful were spot on. I will caution their flavors are not very strong and spicy. Its mild and well cooked. The interior is a little too rustic, could use a bit of a reno.

Dined here with the family a few days ago. Was an excellent experience. Menu was diverse and lots of choices, definitely user friendly and they have a kids menu which always make things easier. Quality of food was excellent and fresh, the duck confit wings were the absolute highlite for me. Server was excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. The prices were actually really reasonable considering how expensive dining out has gotten. I would easily recommend this place to friends and family

Taste of Oakville. Pickled pear salad and duck squash ravioli for one... arancini balls and porcini crusted pork tenderloin. Followed with a flour less chocolate torte! I have been here before...and it did not disappoint!

I went to Paradiso for dinner on Sunday Feb 19, 2023. Everything was pretty good, there was a small over charge on our bill, but it wasnt worth correcting.... Then after being home for 2 hours I felt very sick. I began vomiting for most of the night. I ordered the same appetizer and dessert as my friends, however I am the only one that ordered the pork tenderloin (medium). Im not sure how a restaurant of this quality was able to have undercooked/ spoiled food. Very disappointing, as we have been to Paradiso before without issues.

It was ok.. Portions for some of the menu items are really small, some of the smallest Ive seen at a restaurant. For example: The burger menu item is reall tiny and the plate arrives almost comically empty with few potatoes on the side. The chicken souvlaki plate was also extremely small and not worth the price. If you decide to eat here stick with the pizza or bowls, the portions are better on those.

We enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service at the Paradiso Oakville location. The salad nicoise with tuna was delicious as was the chicken souvlaki dish my husband enjoyed. We will be back. Thank you!

Very nice food, their Moroccan chicken was to die for. The crab cakes were also very tasty. Service was good. Atmosphere lovely. The live music was good too. He sang the whole Bryan Adams line up with ease. Parking: Street parking. Better carpool

Food was excellent, service was on point. Don t sit by the doors in winter.

I was there for an event; service was great with the staff organized and accommodating to us. Food was very good, and I cant wait to go back. Vegetarian options: They were able to meet our groups needs in regard to diet. Dietary restrictions: They were able to meet our groups needs in regard to diet.

Its a really nice, quite spot right down town Oakville. Plus, we saw Colin Mockery eating here, so that was a bonus. See if you can spot him.

Great, attentive service. Fresh well prepared food and an excellent wine list.

Great ambiance and lovely food.

Lovely restaurant and friendly staff, foods pretty good but maybe dont get the Caesar salad, my husband was kinda disappointed cause they serve the buds. Their focaccia starter bread is the best and my favourite I also enjoyed the feature of the day (shrimp with rice pilaf)! Baked brie was decent but a little too sweet for our liking. Does get cold if youre seated close to the opening and closing door when its chilly outside. They also have the Burlington location with just as excellent service and food. Ive had the duck confit which was a big serving and the short rib is mouthwateringly delicious.

The food was okay, however the amount of Parmigiano was decided for me and was not nearly enough for the dish ordered i was fairly disappointed by the service. I would glady recommend the restaurant however to anyone who is NOT an italian

Weve always had good experiences at Paradiso. Whether weve come for a special event like one of many beer or wine pairing events, a cooking class, or just to have dinner, the food has always been fantastic and the staff more than helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Paradiso to anyone. Dietary restrictions: Paradiso is very accommodating of dietary restrictions which makes it a great choice when we want to have a nice meal with vegetarian friends or others who have dietary restrictions. They have several vegetarian options on their regular menu and a separate menu that includes veggie, vegan, gluten free, etc. options.

Super friendly staff, short wait times, food was good, prices were reasonable given the portion sizes. Dessert was Fantastic. Good coffee too!

It was an absolutely amazing experience here from the moment we got there we were greeted by friendly staff. Food was fantastic and service was wonderful. We had a great time! Kid-friendliness: Great menu for kids.

Had a great experience here, greeted at the front door and taken care of right away, though the restaurant was very busy. Hannah was our server and she was just amazing and made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Food was also delicious! Would recommend!

Excellent food, good atmosphere and great service. Prices arent too bad for the food and location. Good wine and beer selections. Nice to see some local choices on the menu.

Raising from 3 to 4 stars. Tried it again on Sunday night (20230423). The service was a little better compared to the first time I visited this place, but still there is room for improvement. I went with my family on Saturday night (20220402) after a reservation. There were some free empty tables around us. The service level was average~low. We were advised that for some of the plates in the menu there were only two or three available. The food was good but not impressive.

Food and service was excellent. We were a party of 14 and the server was attentive and so professional.

Had a wonderful lunch for my husbands birthday...service and food were excellent!

Excellent

We had a small gathering for our son s holy communion with the set menu. Everything from the food, to the service, and the accommodation to decorating in advance was impeccable. Highly recommend this set menu in any of the semi private spaces they have. You won t be disappointed!

Dont waste your time or money. Food were all Small, tasteless, and beyond bad. It took them 1:45min to get the food, after serving the world worst appetizers. The Antipasto was completely waste of money, sorry for my words disgusting, everything in it was Really BAD. One meal was forgotten and all we got Was what do you want us to do? It was Forgotten really? Despite the fact they didnt charge us for the food, only paid the kids meal and the drinks (drinks were ok), it still was not worth it, and NEVER AGAIN. Stand online else where and save your stomach space and money.

Amazing restaurant. Weve been going here for years and it never disappoints!

First time dining I must admit that we were very pleased with the quality of food and service. Location is super because on Lakeshore rd and very desirable neighborhoods. I love the smile on the staff faces and most importantly the prices are very good Food : 5/5 |

Food is over priced for what you get. I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken. Blah

This place is not Mediterranean. It is Italian cuisine.

Delicious and great service!

On July 4th, I had arranged dinner at Paradiso for a large party of 21 to celebrate a graduation & family reunion. The restaurant was so kind as to allow us to order from the full menu instead of a limited one and gave us a lovely room to ourselves! The food was out of this world and everyone remarked how delicious it was! The service was excellent and our wait staff were patient, pleasant and such a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend Paradiso and will most certainly be back! Thank you everyone at Paradiso, including kitchen staff behind the scenes who made our final reunion dinner so great and memorable!

Food was garbage, crab cakes, bolognese and gnocchi were just plain gross. Our server was wonderful though, she was very kind and attentive, she salvaged the experience for us. Food

Ravioli sauce was so watery. Bolognese tasted like sauce from a jar at the grocery store. So bland. Disappointed.

The place is a gem. Food is high quality. Lauren was very pleasant and accommodating since we had young, hungry kids with us. The manager is humble. We will be visiting again soon. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.

Favourite grilled calamari

Food preparation is very bad served chicken side dish potatoes were overcooked. Never go again

Always top notch. Never disappoints! Where we spend all our birthdays and special occasions!

Highly recommended if you re in the area and want to enjoy your food. Service was fantastic as well.

Always enjoy the patio

THink this is a seriously good restaurant. Had flank steak as a main and it was delivered rare as requested and very tender. Good, reasonably priced wine list. Friendly and prompt service. Was there with a group of friends and everyone was pleased.

We were there for a 60th birthday party so it was a rather large group and they managed to get all our food out at the same time and it was fantastic. It was plated beautifully, the portion sizes were great and it tasted amazing. The atmosphere was great! We had a fantastic time. I would definitely recommend.

Loved the crab ravioli! Dietary restrictions: Lots of gf options Food : 5/5 |

I chose Paradiso to host a small bridal shower for 27 people. Right from the beginning - from the timely response to my initial inquiry, through the entire planning process, with the quality and presentation of food being served, to the level of detail and hospitality that was provided by servers and staff on the day of - everything was incredible. I cannot thank everyone at Paradiso enough, for making this event such an outstanding success and such a memorable and amazing experience for all. Thank you so much!

The food is always awesome, the service quick and fun!

I had not been to Paradiso in some time but I am going to make sure its on my list of usual dining locations. Absolutely amazing food, service and atmosphere. if I could give the review six stars I would!

I dont think my review will do justice to how special Paradiso is. Their customer service is excellent, their food is delicious, the patio comfortable, drinks perfecto and reservation system a time saver. Highly recommend the Spaghetti Bolognese, Gnocchi, and the fresh bread. The portions are generous for the price. Im excited to return soon. A great wine and cocktail menu as well! Dietary restrictions: Some menu options can be modified per dietary restrictions.

We got uber eats. Its fine but not worth the money in my experience

Drinks, appetizers, meal, and dessert were all delicious (as usual)! Thanks for welcoming our Future Dog Guide!

Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a surprise birthday party for my husband at Paradiso, and it was nothing short of spectacular. In the process of planning, I scouted numerous venues, but Laura from Paradiso stood out with her exceptional assistance and insightful suggestions. With approximately 40 guests, managing the timing of the food was paramount, and they executed it to perfection. The food was a showstopper; so much so, that guests reached out days after, raving about the delectable dishes they had enjoyed. But it wasnt just the food. The entire team at Paradiso deserves a special mention. The level of service was impeccable, resonating with all our attendees. Every staff member went above and beyond, ensuring that the evening was seamless. Thanks to Paradiso, my husbands surprise party was an overwhelming success. If the ratings allowed, I would gladly give more than 5 stars. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team!

Delicious food and delightful staff! We celebrated my husbands birthday and the experience was fantastic! The food came out quick and our servers were very attentive! Would recommend!

We were a party of 15, including a 2 year old, 1 year old, and a newborn. We were definitely not easy to accommodate, but they managed it well. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and Ill be back at least a few more times.

We traveled to Paradiso in Oakville from our home about 30km away because it is consistently a favourite. Crab cakes are outstanding. Chicken Parmesan and Chicken skewer were delish. We come back each time because staff are wonderful, and make a meal a special occasion.

Great experience for a special date night or a nice business dinner. Food selection is very good. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food - pizza, short ribs, morrocan chicken, cheesecake, etc. They also have a nice wine selection. Service was perfect.

First time visit prior to going to a show. Staff are fantastic. Service was superb. Food was delicious.

I went for a Birthday dinner. Our waitress was Robin, she was friendly and attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed all her recommendations. I loved my crab ravioli. We didn t have to ask for refills or wait for our bill. I highly recommend this restaurant as we had a great night out.

Celebrated my partners birthday here and it was phenomenal! The staff was attentive, providing impeccable service 10/10. We started with perfectly grilled Calamari, followed by Moroccan Salmon - crispy and bursting with flavor. My partners Braised Beef Gnocchi was equally impressive and filling. The overall experience, from service to food, made for an unforgettable celebration. Highly recommended for special occasions!

The food and service was great! Highly recommend this place!

Excellent experience.

I would Highly recommend this restaurant, you ll be going back time and time again. Parking: Parking is free after 6pm all around the area.

Bought some bolognaise for take out, paid 60 dollars for two portions which were small. It was OK, the flavor did not reflect that cost at all, at a cheaper price point, it would be very good. At this price point? its just terrible. Got burned once but I will not be returning. Small portions and white people sauce with very little spices or seasonings in it. Tasted like a basic loveless bolognaise.

Great Italian . I had the grilled calamari it was perfect not to over the top. Just right definitely will be coming back

Update: Came back with my family because I wanted to share this experience. To start, the duck and brie apps were amazing, however the asiago dip was slightly underwhelming. I got the $42 braised short rib, which for me was too sweet and otherwise lacking flavour whilst also being pretty chewy and dry despite being smothered in jus. The jambalaya on their special menu was alright, the shrimp was cooked perfectly, however the jambalaya itself was too salty for me. The chicken entree was also dry, and somewhat lacking in flavour. Additionally, wouldnt recommed their pizza as you can find much better for a similar, or cheaper price point. However as usual the rigatoni and deserts were on par, our glasses were never empty, and food came out fast. Stick to the pasta if you come, I would still recommend giving it a shot! Total bill came out to be arouns $440 for 5 ppl after tax and tip. Great service, great food, the duck app for 16 dollars is unreal.

Had out Christmas party last night and there was 22 people, food was hot and fresh and the servers where amazing... ty for a great night. Crb Translogistice

Amazing food and great service! My wife has a lot of allergies and the staff were so accomodating. I highly recommend the braised short rib...it was falling off the bone!

I had my companys Christmas dinner in there. It is a nice place

Great service. Very friendly! Always tasty.

Indulging in the culinary delights at Paradiso was a truly romantic experience. The ambiance whispered of Italys charm, setting the perfect stage for an intimate evening. The roasted calamari danced on the taste buds with a perfect balance of tenderness and flavor, while the arancini transported us to the streets of Sicily with each delightful bite. Paradiso, where every dish is a symphony of love and passion, making it a haven for those seeking a taste of romance in every mouthful.

I like this restaurant. The taste of Moroccan chicken is awesome.

Carolyn was our waitress and she was very attentive and made sure we were well looked after.

A lovely evening this week at Paradiso in Oakville. The food was excellent and the service top notch!

Great Experience and tasty food and excellent service!

Recently I hosted an 80th birthday party at Paradiso for my husband. Paradiso exceeded our expectations.The party planner was helpful; the food was delicious; servers were efficient and professional; the layout of the room was good for our party of 21. I have nothing but compliments although I would have preferred closer parking.

Tastywith polite staff. Vegetarian options: Soup and salad. I think there was a main dish also. Dietary restrictions: They had a vegetarian soup and salad option, and I believea vegetarianmain dish as well. Parking: A little hard to know where to park. Wheelchair accessibility: Available.

I have been dining at Paradiso for over 10 years and it never disappoints! Solid food and service every time, highly recommended.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options. Pasta was excellent. Food

Really liked everything!!!! Thank you for making this dinner wonderful

Great food, wonderful service and friendly staff....highly recommend!

Unfortunately the quality relative to the price was left much to be desired. Ordered the Paradiso Burger bun was stale & dry as was the meat. When the bun is bigger than the burger patty, your not even tasting the meat just a mouthful of dry bread. Minimal toppings, barely any sauce. Potatoes were not cooked enough they were slightly on the hard side, not soft as they should be. Food served was luke warm. I honestly felt like I just ate a cheap happy meal definitely not a dinner fit for an adult appetite. My partner had the flank steak again served luke warm, lacking in flavour & quantity considering they charged $35 a plate. Far superior quality for a comparable price at the Keg or Kelsey s. Several items on the menu were not available i.e. Barramundi, crème brûlée). If your looking to dine somewhere with ambience with your significant other u might want to pop your head in and see if it s your cup of tea.

Great experience.

Great food -great service!
