Paradiso - Salem

A breath of fresh air in the downtown Salem area which is trying so hard to revitalize.

The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, the desserts were delicious, the wine selection was impressive, and the Vietnamese coffee was superb. A memorable dinner for two people, including a bottle of wine, came to $100.

Exceptional food in an authentic, non-demanding environment. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful, which added to the great experience. For bread lovers, there are 3 different breads, all of which are made there and are all wonderful. I stop on the way out of town to pick up bread and take it home to friends. My salad was fabulous and the vodka chicken pasta (a specialty) was cooked perfectly with a wonderful sauce. The specials change with the seasons. Desserts are all made there and everyone looked great. We share the ice cream on Sunday with homemade caramelized marshmallows and chocolate ganache. It was wonderful. You can share it with 4 people as it is very large. We will definitely have dinner here again when we return to Mayo and Golf.

The food and service at this restaurant are excellent, with a focus on using local ingredients. The cakes are exceptional and would be perfect for a special celebration.

Impressive!! The special, vodka chicken, was incredible! Chef Chris does a great job of keeping the menu fresh and tasty, old favorites and creative specialties. Our favorite restaurant in Rochester !!
