Paganini Ristorante

Came on a Sunday afternoon with friends. The place was empty. We got 3 different pastas, all freshly made. They gave us rolls. I would have liked salad or veggies, but we weren't given anything. I ordered spaghetti bolognese but surprisingly there was NO MEAT. How is that possible? I must have been given the wrong thing. I didn't order the lasagna because it takes 30 minutes to bake. Everything tasted good, but nothing was the best I've ever had. I'd go back again.

This is an absolutely beautiful. The building, the location, and if you’re there in the warmer season and you sit outside, the garden are all beautiful. it is an all-time aesthetically super experience. Now the next part. We’ve been there three times and every time the competency of the servers ( while they were not rude and reasonably nice for sure) , they were incredibly “not trained”. I don’t know why. I don’t need to analyze it, but I do need to report and share about it. It was sad. As for the food, well - I’m pausing a long time to consider what to say about it. It was definitely not exemplary of a work of art. I hope someday this incredibly beautiful backdrop can have food and service that matches its appearance.

OUTSTANDING!! What can I say. If you love REAL Italian food you have hit the gold mine. First, spectacular dining venu with well decorated, well ventilated seating area. Not to mention the outdoor seating area under a beautiful tree, well shaded and cool on the hot days. The service is nicely arranged, and has a catered feel to it, as if you were the only one they were waiting on. The wine is well selected and the fresh bottled water adds a beautiful touch of European atmosphere to your dinner. The FOOD is amazing! I can see by SOME reviews there are some "olive garden, Marianos little italy" lovers who have no clue to what excellence tastes like. Believe me, EXCELLENCE is found here. Perfect portions FRESH, ingredients, prepared on premise. Here is where you come for fine dining, so th

Cute outdoor seating but this place is just crazy expensive for nothing special. Spaghetti bolognese was 16.95 on the menu and it was asked if we wanted meatballs on it so we said sure and when we got the check it was $26?? For the addition of 3 small meatballs that’s steep, the pasta and meatballs were good but not $26 good. Separate dish, the seafood pasta said it came with mussels but instead they got 3 mussels but two were just empty shells. Our waitress was nice and service was overall good but it just felt scammy when we got the check (i feel like receiving a paper written check rather than computer printed check also is easier to upcharge us/ leave room for error…).

We've eaten at Paganini's several times and have enjoyed it each time, most recently as a party of four. We ate inside, though I usually like the outdoor garden, but it was getting chilly. Prices are very reasonable for the high-quality dishes. Pasta sauces are better than the chain restaurant versions, with more complex flavor and the pasta just right. It takes a bit of wait time after ordering, because the food is freshly prepared, I assume. One of us had salmon, which was really good, but we should have ordered a side with it, since it didn't come with any. Service was great.
