"Located in the heart of Oakhurst Village, Saba returns to its former home as Paolino Italian Restaurant and Gelateria. Owned by Shane Mixon, Paolino’s menu centers around classic Italian dishes and pastas, including fettuccine Alfredo, linguine and clam sauce, lasagna, lobster ravioli, and eggplant pappardelle." - Eater Staff
"I found Paolino in Oakhurst to be an old-school, cozy Italian where comforting classics abound; its eggplant parmesan features thick cuts of breaded eggplant layered with toasted parmesan and served over spaghetti marinara, alongside dishes like fettuccine Alfredo and linguine with clam sauce." - Beth McKibben
"Located in the heart of Oakhurst Village, Paolino’s centers around classic Italian dishes and pastas, including fettuccine Alfredo, linguine and clam sauce, and lasagna, along with lobster ravioli and eggplant pappardelle. Grab a seat on the patio or in the dining room for a quiet meal, especially during the weekdays." - Beth McKibben
"Opened in February 2020 in the heart of Oakhurst after taking over a former Korean restaurant space, this neighborhood spot from Shane Mixon leans into comforting, old-school Italian cooking. The menu highlights classic pastas and hearty plates — think fettuccine Alfredo, linguine with clam sauce, lasagna — alongside more elevated options like lobster ravioli and eggplant pappardelle." - Beth McKibben
"In Oakhurst I see a real gem that feels like a homecoming: Paolino opened in early 2020 in the space that was once Saba on Mead Road (the restaurant had relocated to Emory Village in 2017 before returning). The menu offers classic Italian-American dishes and pastas, including a lasagna bolognese layered with ricotta and meat sauce and topped with mozzarella and pecorino cheeses, plus a vegetarian lasagna of roasted squash, zucchini, carrots, and onions with melted cheese and ricotta; make sure to order gelato for dessert." - Beth McKibben
