di Paolo Italian Kitchen

Don’t let the strip mall location fool you—di Paolo Italian Kitchen is a hidden gem that offers an exceptional dining experience far beyond what you’d expect from its unassuming exterior. Step inside and you’re welcomed into a cozy, warm atmosphere that feels intimate even when the restaurant is full. The staff is top-notch—attentive, professional, and genuinely focused on making sure you’re taken care of at every stage of the meal. The food is the real star here. With house-made pasta, fresh ingredients, and a well-curated menu, every dish feels thoughtful and full of flavor. I didn’t try the wine myself, but I’ve heard their selection is excellent and worth exploring. Whether you’re local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by di Paolo. It’s a wonderful reminder that

This place is an absolute gem! We drive all the way from kennesaw to dine here when we can. The food is delicious every time… we love that they offer the half portions for the pasta dishes. The appetizers and salads are always super tasty. Our experience has always been 10/10. So glad we came across this place on open table!

This is a def hidden gem of PTC. We were happy with everything, from drinks to dessert. Fresh ingredients and excellently prepared dishes.

It was my birthday dinner. We had a table of 6. Our waiter was exhausted before he even started waiting on us. He kept pressing us to order. I asked to speak with the wine concierge, as I had already spoken to him while waiting in the bar. Our waiter said no, what are you looking at? I asked my question, took whatever he gave us. We told him the wine was for all 6 of us. He emptied the bottle in 4 glass (heavy ours)! Then asked if we wanted another bottle. WTH. I flagged down the wine concierge and ordered a different bottle that was respectfully poured. Waiter brought me my complimentary dessert of biscotti and cream. But never asked if we wanted to order a different dessert. He then dropped off our check. Food was great as always. Service was just freaking weird.

This was our first and last time eating here. It was very busy but they sat us right away. The food came pretty quickly once we were able to order which took about 30 minutes. The food was not very good. The margherita pizza was chewy and really was just a cheese pizza with tomatoes. The lasagna was weird too. It was made with green pasta, but it was mostly just a bunch of cheese and very little pasta. My wife ordered a desert wine which took about 20 minutes for them to bring. Overall it took us almost 2 hours to eat. We will not be going back.
