Editorial reviews from the web (2)

Warm and cozy describes both the Tuscan-inspired design and the fare, including pappardelle with a ragù of pheasant and morels.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Cucina Paradiso Restaurant Review: With its dark wood wainscoting, linen-clad tables and marble-topped bar, this warm Tuscan-inspired trattoria is a welcome part of the Westside's restaurant-poor Palms district. Cucina Paradiso presents a familiar format, pulled off seamlessly by a pair of veteran restaurateurs. Chef/co-owner Isaac Rivera adds style to a menu of...

Very inconsistent - will not go back

Out of convenience, I had gone to this restaurant a quite a few times. There were moments where the soup was terrific, certain specialties were fine.

Service alll over the map. Then starting going straight down hill. Food ranged from raw fish on a caesar salad, to over done, to smelling old (you know the smell).

Maitre D', Thomas, very moody personality. Can be your best friend one day, then cold, rude the next.

New owner promised great things, but I've run out of patience.

Pros

+ There were moments of promise...

Cons

- Inconsistent, old fish

Tips about this business (4)

Save Money

Sony employees enjoy a 10-percent discount at lunch.

Parking

Nearby side streets aren't well lit. During the week, it's best to park on Motor, even if it means walking a block or so.

What to Drink

The wine list is extensive, but the martini menu offers specialty concoctions like the Royal Velvet with Absolut, chambod and lemon juice; and the Astro Pop, made with Grey Goose, midon and chambod.

When to Go

Dates can enjoy two-for-one drinks from the martini menu during happy hour, Wednesday through Friday from 5pm to 8pm.
