I enjoyed my experience. My waiter (I unfortunately did not catch his name) was pleasant and surprised me with a little gift for my first time visiting. I ordered a glass of cab, bacon wrapped dates, Brussels sprout, rigatoni bolognese, bread pudding, and a shot of tequila to digest, if you will. They serve you bread with olive oil as well. I left full and happy. Bacon on the dates were crispy which is always a win. Brussels made well, pasta was flavorful, but bread pudding left more to be desired. It didn’t taste fresh. All of the food came out relatively fast but I was there a Wednesday evening with low traffic. For the price I think this is a great spot for families or date night on a budget. Weekday specials also seem worth checking out. My bill was under $100 including tip. It would have easily been $200 in the city!

Nothing but positive things to say about this oak park gem. The staff is welcoming especially Christopher. He was very knowledgeable and attentive the whole night. I will continue to come here. The food and wine is great especially half off bottles on Wednesdays

Dinner was such a pleasant experience with our server Christopher and the rest of the staff. Everything went so smoothly even on Valentine’s Day when they were busy. The food was phenomenal and cooked to perfection. Kim was so kind to speak with to finish off the evening

I was very pleased with the food, service, and overall experience. I usually go to Il Vicolo Trattoria, but they discontinued the dishes I love, so I’m looking for new places to try. I enjoy fried calamari, Brussels sprouts, and shrimp scampi. I prefer flavorful food that isn’t too rich. I also like that they offer two different pasta sizes: small and large.

Another delicious meal at Cucina Paradiso, with elevated Italian classics. A shout out to Christopher who has served us a few times with consistently great service that makes for a memorable evening. Highly recommend.

Service was amazing at this location. Everyone was friendly and responsive.
The meatballs were light and moist, but had a mild flavor.
I didn’t think the sun dried tomatoes added anything to the Caesar salad.
Overall the food was ok, with great service.

So… I gave Cucina Paradiso 5 stars because it was the best experience I’ve had in a while. We walked in on a fairly busy night and got a seat at a bar table fairly quickly. The server was pleasant and personable. She had recommendations when asked, and was genuinely apologetic when she came back to tell they were out of what I order.
I ended up getting their homemade rigatoni. It was phenomenal and really homemade. It was so similar to pasta I made from scratch a week earlier. The desserts we’re just as good. The lemon blueberry mini dessert was tart and not too sweet.
Oh, and the drinks were great too. Can’t wait to visit again!
UPDATE (3/3/22)
Still a great place. Went in at 8:15 on a Thursday, important to know that the kitchen closes at 8:15, and had an enjoyable experience. They made sure the kitchen hadn’t packed everything away, and then sat us at a table. We asked to change to a booth and the hostess moved us before we sat down. Even though it was obvious they were starting to wrap things up for the day, we never felt rushed in any way. The food came out almost as fast as the drinks, both were tasty.
I had the ricotta stuffed gnocchi, and my wife had spaghetti and meatballs. The gnocchi was like nothing I remember having before. They were little pillows with a soft creaminess and almost dissolved in my mouth. It was complimented with a chunky tomato sauce, that had a touch of creaminess. The 3 meatballs were massive, and she loved them. There are 2 in the fridge that came home with us.
The food was amazingly delicious, the service impeccable and not rushed, the drinks were incredible, and had we not known they were closing up, would have stayed for a few more.

My son is extremely picky and our waiter (Jose ) went above and beyond he brought him samples and even gave him doughnuts to make his sad face turn around. I have never had a server care so much about making his day before. He was attentive and understanding. The pomegranate martini is top notch here and the food no matter what you choose is delicious. We had pastas and chicken and everyone was delighted. Dessert does not disappoint! The only sad thing is that this restaurant does not have more locations as we drive over an hour to eat here. If that doesn’t tell you that you should include this wonderful gem of a place on your next outing then I don’t know what will.
