Paolino Italian Restaurant

4.0 | a strong four. very quaint and just popped in on a whim whilst waiting for an appt. I was pleasantly surprised by the menu and the cost. I got a salad and ravioli lunch serving of the chicken pesto for $14. the salad was fresh, as well as the ravioli. the pesto was definitely made fresh in-house, and the ravioli was perfectly al denté. I would come by just to have a nice fresh Italian meal. they really give off charming small family owned business, and I quite enjoy that. it’s a nice afternoon or evening spot to pop in and get a quick but tasty meal.

Reasons for giving it 2 stars: 1. They never attended any of my calls when called several times to make reservation in advance. 2. Our server came with water & asked if we're ready to place our order. We requested her to give us 5 mins. She checked on us after 20mins. 3. Finally when we placed our order, it took them 35mins to get it. I know there's a bit of a wait on a busy night & it's totally understandable provided your food comes out hot whenever it does. Well that was not the case. We ate 2 bites & packed the rest cuz our appetite was dead after waiting almost an hour (20+35). 4. Asked for a cheque & waited for another 10 mins. Went to the receptionist twice to request my bill. The young lady at the counter said that she doesn't know what we ordered & that's why can't generate a bill, only the server can. So she finally got a hold of the server who again took more time to get the bill. I paid & left on an empty stomach. 5. Last but not the least, not one single person who worked

Had another very nice dinner on the outdoor patio last night! Peter our server was great, very personable and attentive. I had the seafood risotto which was loaded with seafood and my wife had the mushroom ravioli. Both were very good! Only complaint is that they haven't had the strawberry lemonade sorbet for awhile now ????.
