"There’s a see-and-be-seen element to Paradiso. But behind the bride-to-be sashes and camera flashes is a stunning dining room full of green plants, along with a garden-like front patio. We like to start with the beets drizzled tossed in a not-too-sweet cardamom labneh and the spicy soppressata pizza drizzled with honey, followed by a bowl of pasta—mafalde wading in a white bologna or the roasted butternut squash mixed with dapper creste di gallo and spiced pumpkin seeds. The vibes here are more “fun night out” than formal, and the crowd can get (pleasantly) rambunctious, so embrace the scene and order another glass of wine." - Kevin Gray
