We visited Locanda Paola after our first encounter last year. We can attest that this year's visit equalled the last. Excellent service, selection, quality, and value. We had the locally caught calamari grilled to perfection, in a garlic butter sauce. Not the slightest hint of rubber, but easy enough to cut with just a fork. Soup was fresh shellfish in... More

I have been going to Locanda Paolo for 15 years and never had a bad meal. Everything is always excellent, from the Pasta Fagioli soup to the Seafood Lasagna to the 4-Cheese Risotto. My granddaughters have been going there since they were little and were always welcomed. You'll be glad you went! More

I have been here many times over the last 10 years and it just can't get any better. The food, the service, and the prices are just great. It's like being home at your own table. Your family when your here. More

On our recent trip tp Cancun we needed to get away from the "Hotel Zone" and decided to check this place out. The food was amazing, service was great and the restaurant location was perfect (casual but nice). We began with the Scallop appetizer "Wow", we have a thing for Caesar Salads and this place makes a killer one, our... More

If you are a seafood lover try the lobster carpaccio!!! Outrageous. Wide seleccion of pastas wine, fish and meat (try the duck..it is great)! very good value for... More

Thanks to the previous reviews on Tripadvisor, I tried this restaurant and I sure am glad I did. Very easy to reach even when taking the bus into the city. It's about a block away from where the bus drops you off. Back to the restaurant. Very modern looking, clean and has a waterfall and Koi pond in the front... More

This is truly one restaurant you do not want to miss! My family and I just returned from one of my favorite meals I have had in quite some time. From the moment we entered service was top notch. Our glasses were never emptied and crumbs did not remain on our linen. The chef was eager to help out with... More
