What Eric Arellano doesn't like about Cucina Paradiso:
The service at this restaurant was outstanding. The staff was friendly and attentive. The meatballs were light and moist, though the flavor was a bit mild. I found that the sun-dried tomatoes didn't contribute much to the Caesar salad. Overall, the food was decent, but the excellent service made the experience more enjoyable. View all feedback.

Cucina Paradiso is still one of the best restaurants in Oak Park. Everyone in our party enjoyed their dinner choices and salads were very good. Nice wine list.

The food was excellent. The service was great. Wines by the glass were available in 2 sizes, which I thought was nice.
