Paolo's Trattoria Restaurant Review

: Anyone who fears the demise of the neighborhood restaurant in the era of the celebrity chef need only set foot in Paolo's, where warmth and comfort hold sway. Past all the inviting exposed brick, potted plants and quietly chatting clientele, an open kitchen further creates an intimate mood---and it also makes strongly satisfying food. Chef-owner Paul Delios is a seasoned practitioner of cucina italiana in all its product-privileging simplicity. Dishes like grilled calamari with lemon-caper sauce and pork tenderloin sauced with Marsala and flavored with juniper, raisins and pine nuts burst with spectrum-spanning flavors, while lobster risotto, for all its richness, seems homey, not flashy.
