Paradiso Ristorante

We hit the bar at Paradiso on a Thursday and were met with a perfect combination of great service and excellent traditional Italian cuisine.

The veal & eggplant parmigiano was savory and delicious. Side with some fresh rigatoni and it was excellent.

It's a busy joint, but the service keeps up, so you can enjoy an efficient and friendly dining experience.

It was a great experience having dinner at Paradise Ristorante. Michael, our waiter, was very welcoming, professional, attentive without being overbearing and made our dining experience even better. We ordered a calamari appetizer, a big salad with Italian dressing, a special (Pescatore Fradiavolo, an amazing flavourful seafood and linguini dish that alone is worth a trip to this restaurant). We shared our food, and it was plenty for both of us. We finished our dinner with tea and an apple blossom, also delicious. The dining room was specious and inviting. They played Italian music and Frank Sinatra songs, not too loud, just right to add to a pleasant dining experience. We really loved dining at Paradiso Ristorante and will definitely be back. Thank you!

We stumbled on this cute place..
Met Kim she has been here for 19 years. Great bartender, gave us great suggestions and our experience was just amazing

Wonderful evening! Sat at the bar and enjoyed the festive decorations. Ordered arancini (which they called arancitto?) Two of us couldn't resist the pull off the parmesan, one chicken and one chicken and eggplant, with a salad or homemade fusilli. I opted for the pescatare, shrimp, scallops, haddock, mussels and clams over spaghetti!
A lovely night indeed!

The best italian near Swampscott! Not being from this area it is hard to find an authentic italian spot with homeade pasta that isn't too far. Paradiso never fails to be delicious and drinks are always good!

Food was very delicious. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff!

This place is outstanding! Food is delicious, great value, restaurant is spotless and the service is great. I highly recommend everyone try this place out!

The new dining room is immaculate!

My sister,,,, and I absolutely,,, love this restaurant ,, my sister Lori ,, ❤ enjoys dining out with her twin ,, yep she spoils ,, we love the food and most importantly love Kim the bartender 💓 it is just a cozy incredible place to be at fun fun fun

My wife and I went on a Saturday night for our 29th wedding anniversary.
We had 6:00 reservations we got seated right away.
Very nice and clean dinning room.
The waiter I believe his name was Sean very, very nice kid the service was great.
I got the chicken fussulio and it was AMAZING absolutely 💯 AMAZING.
My wife got the haddock she said it was the best she ever had.
I was disappointed at first because I only went there for the Veal parm.
But that night they were out of the Veal parm.
Good thing for me they were out of the Veal because I would NOT have had the Chicken Fusslio.
The hole experience was AMAZING.

Been here a few times, most recently for my work holiday dinner, we were in the back room and had a great server. She was attentive and helpful with the menu. They have delicious food and a great wine selection!

Great dinner tonight at Paradiso Ristorante! Warmly greeted at the door and escorted to our high top table behind the bar. Great spot, just the right amount of background noise mixed with oldies radio. My wife had the Limoncello martini, I had some Jamison on ice, both perfect, along with a huge app of calamari and marinara sauce which we totally enjoyed. Out came the mains, my veal piccata, my wife’s chicken and eggplant parmigiana, both hit all the notes, outstanding. Our server Emma was great, stopping by often, we weren’t left wanting for anything. Thank you!

Paradiso restaurant is a solid, old-school Italian eatery with a classic menu, cozy seating, and an attentive waitstaff. The dishes all tasted fresh and flavorful. The cannoli that God shared at the end was a nice way to complete the experience. It’s no surprise that folks in Swampscott Enjoy eating there.

Found this gem while on vacation with my family. Seated immediately, food was delicious, service was professional and friendly. I would definitely go here again

A very elegant and cozy local restaurant. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Most importantly, the food was delicious! It is fine Italian dining with a good selection of offerings. I had a veal dish with black truffles and shallots in a light cream reduction - it was so tasty I am drooling just thinking about it. My wife had a salmon dish that she loved and I did as well since she was kind enough to let me sample it. It is a smaller sized place and is usually busy but we went around 4 PM which isn't a busy time so no waiting or crowds. Overall, another fine restaurant to add to our favorites.

I frequent this restaurant. Food is always excellent as is the service. Most recent visit myself and dining partner ordered the two specials of the evening. Halibut and Rib Eye steak

Paradiso Ristorante is a great place overall. The food is cooked to perfection and served by a lovely staff.

The establishment is always kept clean along with the bathrooms and outside area. You can park on the street or across the street at the T station if there are any spots available. A few years back I had my graduation party here and the owener was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a slightly upscale night out.

First time there. Food was Excellent! Large piece of chicken small amount of pasta. Most places do the opposite because it's cheaper for them.
Not here Very Generous with the chicken. I had the Chicken Parmesan with Angel hair.

This place is excellent. My family has been coming here for a long while and every time we have come the service, food, and atmosphere is superb. Has direct access to the T with the station directly across the street. Street parking and a cozy outside eating area makes this a great place to come with family and friends.

Great all around... drinks, service and taste and quality of the food. A great find!!! The taste and quality is amazing. Also great atmosphere.. very relaxing and great waitstaff too.

Delicious food, lovely people and a great vibe.
