Great little neighborhood store specializing in Italian foods and pastries... I've also had them cater an event in the past and was thoroughly satisfied not only with the quality and quantity of food, but surprised that one of the delivery girls stayed to help serve...Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience.

I have reviewed most of the pizza restaurants in my area since it is a weekly staple at my home for the past few months. In the past, I have ordered (Sausage, Bacon, and Mushroom) pizza from Paradise, with awesome results every time. Last night I ordered an "Old Fashion Sicilian" for a change. WOW, I haven't had Sicilian for a long time, and had forgotten how good it can be. This in my opinion was the best Sicilian I have ever had. Believe me I am a pizza addict and know that Sicilian is harder to cook right, since it is a thicker pizza. It was perfect. Two big thumbs up for Paradise, my new favorite pizza joint.
8. Nick's Bistro
Reviewed By Townz
Smells great when you walk in the door. A nicely decorated quaint dining area and a beautiful bar that seats about 6-8 people. It was a quiet Friday night and we sat at the bar. There were a couple tables of people in the dining area and one couple seated behind us at one of the high top tables. The menu has a nice variety of Italian food.I began with a pasta fagioli. The soup was ok. Not what I expected for a pasta fagioli. My wife had a garden salad. Our waitress, Martina, brought over a basket of warm "Garlic" bread.Thinking back, the pasta fagioli had a strong garlic and spicy taste. The bread was fresh and had a nice chew to it. But Wow the garlic. The dinner my wife had was a flat bread with mozzerella cheese, fresh tomato, fresh basil, and again, a lot of garlic. I had the Pork Chop Italiano. Pork chop topped with onions and hot peppers with melted provolone and a side of homemade potato chips and sauteed broccoli. I enjoyed the pork chop and chips. I reluctantly tasted the broccoli because it was loaded with minced garlic. As I had antisipated, the garlic over powered the broccoli. There's obviously a pattern going on here. I'm beginning to think that Nick has a garden of garlic at home that he's trying to use up. We enjoyed our conversation with Martina and Nick was very pleasant when he introduced himself to us. But they're a little heavy handed in the kitchen with the garlic. Tame the garlic and we might become return diners.

Delicious, homemade, generous portions, affordable, friendly staff. It's a cozy place with limited seating, so it's best to call for a reservation. There are also a few tables outside to enjoy during the summer months.

Meals and pizza are excellent. We eat here often and find the service usually very good and always friendly.Decor is shabby-needs purging, fake flowers removed. Remove the light fixture with the bare bulb or replace it and remove clutter. Some ceiling tiles need to be replaced.

Mangia's remains consistently a good value with excellent service. The meals are huge and definitely worthy of taking home for another meal.

So excited that Fino was open for lunch today!! Perfect place for a pre holiday celebration. Asked for a holiday drink and Matt poured a perfect Christmas Cabernet. He assured me they cooked my pizza over a Yule log. Finished off with an Elf-spresso Martini! Totally filled with Christmas spirit! Pizza and salad were delicious!

We get take out from this place a few times per year, and have eaten in the restaurant a few times. The pizza is good quality Greek style pizza. That means rising "bread style" crust, and fresh vegetables. To further explain, the peppers are sliced and tossed on the pizza, instead of roasted or marinated first, for example. In my opinion, this makes for a delightful meal, but not the same as italian pizza. This restaurant does it very well, and the cheese pizza will be most like Italian pizza for the non-initiated. The appetizers and salads are really well prepared and fresh as well. There is a dish that is called "country gravy cheese fries" or something to that effect, and picture crisp fries, ranch dressing and bacon with cheddar cheese, -a fantastic appetizer for kids and adults, an american pizza house poutine.The specialty pizzas are a good choice as well.

Martinis and the manhattans were watery, more water than liquor. Salads were fine. Service good. The Tutto Mare fra diabolo sauce was very heavy with a strong taste oregano, pasta over done, not good with a fish dish. The over done sole was swimming in butter. The pork chop was just OKNo one ate their pasta side dishes after tasting them. Definitely not the place to go for a good drink and Italian dishes with a Will not go back

We were visiting a local who took us to their favorite restaurant..Nonna. definitely a family restaurant for families. Interesting menu all your favorites and some different but traditional offerings. Homemade bread comes to the table first but, as delicious as it is, resist! Portions are huge. Sausage and rabe, linguine with clams, white beans and rabe... everything delicious and huge. Very reasonable prices and friendly service. One strange thing, despite having a guest wifi they did not have a password they would share.
