Feedback
Nestled in the heart of HIGHLANDS, Paoletti's offers a mixed dining experience that has left guests divided. While many rave about the extensive wine list and attentive service, others express disappointment in the food quality and dining conditions, particularly concerning portion sizes and over-spicing. Highlights include standout dishes like Maine mussels and ravioli, along with a welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of Italy. However, some visitors felt rushed and noted issues with dish preparation. Though Paoletti’s has its critics, it undeniably captivates many with its charm and delicious offerings, making it a notable stop for food enthusiasts.
We had a wonderful experience at Paolettis. Our hostess seated our group as requested in table promptly. Our server, Saundra was superb, attentive , but not overbearing, and made great wine and food suggestions based on years of experience at the restaurant. Everyone was pleased with their choices, so I will just comment on mine. Saundra had suggested the cioppino paoletti after hearing us talk about a recent trip to Maine. This dish was phenomenal! It easily compared to the seafood dishes we ate in Maine, and in some aspects was better. Desserts and after dinner dinner drinks were also great.
The best meal I’ve had all year. Always a wonderful experience! Service was amazing. And the coconut cake was to die for!
A rare exceptional experience, Gina, third generation restaurateur, stopped by our table to ensure we were tended to properly. Saundra led us through an incredible dining experience. The octopus was the best we've ever eaten. We found out it arrived fresh from the Mediterranean within hours of being served. The Bolognese was classic and superb. The wine was transcendent and paired perfectly with the outstanding culinary experience. We will be talking about this meal for years to come!
We're big travelers and foodies in our mid 30's. Paoletti is without a doubt one of our favorite restaurants and easily makes our top 10, if not top 5 experiences. The food, atmosphere and service are totally on point and prices are appropriate for thelevel of quality. Be sure to call ahead, I think 2 months is when you can try. They stay fully booked, because they are thebest show in town.
I was lucky enough to get a reservation at Ristorante Paoletti on a recent trip to the area. I can't say enough wonderful things about my meal. I read a prior review that mentioned the food was too spicy, and I certainly did not find that to be thecase. My meal was perfectly seasoned (risotto to die for), the service was amazing, and nice ambiance. What more can you askfor than great food, great wine shared with great friends. I can't wait to be back in the area and enjoy another delightfulmeal.
