This restaurant has been a neighborhood favorite ever since it opened up more than two decades ago. Flowers, mirrors and little lamps make up most of the comfortable décor. The main dining area can get a little crowded and noisy, with all locals having a good time, savoring authentic Italian dishes and wine to go with it. But your escape could be the 'Wine Room', which is meant for intimate gatherings or celebrations of any kind. With stacks of wines lining the walls, this cozy area does have a romantic air to it. The lack of music is replaced by laughter and jokes, which never cease. So if you're craving a simple meal in a very unassuming atmosphere...Paola's is the place for you!
