Paula's Italian Restaurant

Nice decor good variety of different meals

Went hoping to find a gem, they had lots of choices but around the same quality as Olive Garden and probably will not go back. The bread was really good however the sauces were missing the mark and the lasagne I think was microwaved. Servers when asked for something returned MUCH LATER, IF AT ALL and they were less than 5% full so too busy would not fly as an excuse. Maybe an off day but we ordered 6 things and none were worthy of a positive mention other than the bread.

This place is alright but it's not something that really sticks out in my mind as spectacular. There food is good but pretty basic for an Italian place. As an Italian, I expect Italian places to stray away from the cliche, watered down, olive garden type food and be closer to the genuine italian cuisine. This doesn't do that for me. It's far too expensive and posh for the quality of food they have. The atmosphere and price makes you think they're extremely fine dining italian but they're not even close. I rate it 3 out 5 stars simply because it is definitely GOOD food but it's lackluster. If you're just looking for a run-of-the-mill Italian place then go here.

We are new to the area, so I won't rate any restaurant 5 stars yet.nBeen to Paula's a few times. Its atmosphere brought back memories of Naples 40 years ago. Will be going back often.nnI thought the sausage and pepper dinner was great. The group all had different dishes. I sampled each. I thought the pizza was good but would be better without the large sweet onion pieces (next time, no onions on top). Everything else was very good. Good enough to make me eventually try everything on the menu.nnThe staff was on the ball and friendly, the portions were adequate and the price was reasonal.

Always great food and service. We had our son's birthday party there. Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. Highly recommend it.
