The salmon stuffed ravioli was very good...bread for days...wine drinks place is nice to bring a date or just grab a bite to eat... calamari it was on point and so was the burger and no onions it was supposed to be well done but it came back pretty pink so other than that it was good. Wait staff was very nice and Josefina was always checking to see if i was in need of anything...wonderful staff..ice cold drinks on top.Been awhile since I came this place was great except I had an issue with my calamari.. they comped my item. Drinks on point

The wait staff was very unprofessional. He brought the bread and out and his lackluster attitude to the table with it. This was not a good birthday experience. However, I have been here once before in the past and had a wonderful experience, but not this time. The waiter was non-attentive, rude, silent and unresponsive. He avoided coming to the table for most of the time we were seated. And for as expensive as the bill was, had it not have been for his gratuity being added directly to the bill, his tip would've never been as high as it was. He didn't work for a tip nor did he deserve one. I'm a really good tipper. If his service was up to par, he could've gotten an extra hundred dollars immediately, but his service was poor and no additional tip was added! Service sucked and I doubt that I'd stay if I go back a 3rd time and I got the same waiter. The food was good, but we have different palates so I won't over or under judge the food. Let's just say I enjoyed the seafood pasta. The ambiance was relaxing and the wait time wasn't too bad...about 15mins or so.

My family loves Paradiso, especially their Chicken Paradiso with extra of its yummy sauce for grandpa, the brussel sprouts, and the Gelatos, and Lava Cake. Sometimes the specials are good but the service is the best part of this restaurant. If you are planning a special dinner and want to have attention to detail like fine dining should be, you need to ask for Pavi! He’s rad! I don’t think I will ever need to have another waiter again there, although most are friendly so I know I will have a wonderful experience no matter what.

Have been going for 15 years, everything is great and the service is good as wellMy favorite is the fried calamari.. and the wood fired assortment of pizzas. Truly a culinary treasure in San Leandro!

Second time here and it was even better than the first time! The ravioli bolognese is perfectly balanced in a cheesy, meaty sauce. The 12 oz lobster tail was prepared to be flavorful and juicy and the filet mignon was cooked to order. For desert we enjoyed carrot cake and a scoop of the old fashioned spumoni. The wine list was very well thought out with some nice wines by the glass. Our server Jenee was efficient and pleasant and anticipated all of our needs. The price for our meal was very reasonable for the quality of the food, service and atmosphere. We will return!

Overall great first time experience. I ordered the filet mignon Medium rare, it was cooked accordingly. The dish as a whole was very enjoyable and the mashed potatoes were really tasty. No chunks of potato like at other places, smooth and flavorful. Would definitely come back and recommend others to try this location. My mother really liked the apple and prosciutto salad. Just from glancing at it, it did look good and was recommended by the waitress. Expect to pay $20-$50 per person minimum.

I've been here for dinner several times but this is my first time having brunch. It was soooo good and I can't wait to go back! I ordered the French toast but I don't like bananas, which it came with, so I ordered berries and mascarpone with it. Soooooo delicious! Our only issue is that we didn't get served bread but I'm assuming that's because we ordered brunch not lunch. We were going to ask for it, then decided not to.

Pros: Excellent Linguini Fruitti di MareCons on Food: No-Grease Bread (sourdough) served a disappointment. Can’t they use the neighborhood’s As Kneaded.Service: A big disappointment.1. We ordered Salad and the Linguini. The Linguini came first. We had to ask the Receptionist/Server to return the pasta to the kitchen and serve the Salad first.2. On the Linguini, we had to ask the Receptionist/Server (RS) for Parmesan cheese.3. We had to ask the RS for plates because we’re sharing the dishes.4. The Waiter didn’t have an idea which are the dry white wines.5. He also blamed us for not telling him that the dishes will be served one at a time.6. I blame Management for this lapse in service. The poor staff were serving as many as 20 people at the same time. They were doing their best. Knowing so many people reserved for that day, they should have prepared accordingly.
