Maybe the most impressive dining experience I’ve ever had. Staff, atmosphere and food were impressive beyond words and Paolo was a gracious and humble host. I can’t wait for my next trip to Tampa!

Upscale Italian cuisine boasting a great South Tampa reputation with the locals. I dined with some friends who have been long time patrons. We enjoyed martinis and moscato. The restaurant is small with many attentive servers and wait staff. Each guest is catered to. We enjoyed appetizers like the seafood salad, caprese salad, eggplant rotini and pasta fagioli. As a main course we shared a variety of pasta dishes and the fish special. Reservations are required and it gets quite busy.

Recommend by a friend. We sat down at 7P and they brought us waters. They took our order at 7:20, second time coming over after waters. The fried calamari was good. The lasagna was delicious 10/10. The snapper was horrible I only had two bites (dry and bland). Mediocre service.

I had a fantastic dinner last night at Caffé Paradiso. From the moment I stepped inside, the staff was warm & welcoming. The attention to service and the quality of the meals here are second to none. Grazie Paolo!

First time going here after wanting to try all the different italian places in Tampa, and to be honest this one fell short of the others. We started with the complimentary bread (not even worth eating), along with the calamari and the buffalo burata, both of which were excellent.
But then came the main courses, we got the lasagna and a pasta with broccoli and chicken. The lasagna sauce was nothing special and there wasn't a lot of beef, and the other pasta dish was just caked in olive oil and butter. Will say the noddles were cooked great but outside of that wouldn't reccomend.
The service itself was nice, but definitely got the vibe that if you weren't a regular you weren't going to get the class A treatment (our waiter acted so much friendlier to guests he knew versus us). This is definitely an older school spot, and the people that come here reflect this.
All in all, food was good enough to eat but won't be coming back given the plethora of other options we have in the area.
