A friend of mine dragged me here once. I'm usually wary of cute little Italian restaurants, but Paolo's was actually quite good. The ricotta and herb pasta I had was mighty tasty. I'm a fan of freshly made pasta, so I was happy to hear that their pasta is hand-made daily.
My only complaint was that the restroom was slightly unpleasant, but it appeared to be the fault of some nasty customer rather than that of the staff.

The location of Paolo's restaurant is great since it's a hop, skip, and a jump from the Center of Performing Arts. This is the place where we like to dine before or after a show. The wine selection is excellent and the dishes are savory!
