Though Charlestown has long been known as an Irish neighborhood, this area has quietly become a site for several fine ethnic eateries, including this Italian restaurant. Be sure to arrive with an appetite, as portions are generous. In addition to a large selection of gourmet pizzas, the menu offers tempting selections such as scallops with risotto, sauteed chicken, handmade fennel sausage and... more

Portions here are quite generous; split a salad and a small salad, easily a light supper for two.

After 7pm, reservations are only accepted for parties of five or more. You'll certainly need them; crowds form fast in the evenings.

The Scene With its high copper-painted ceiling, rough plastered walls and cobalt-tiled wood oven, Paolo's flickers with warmth and conviviality, enhanced by chummy waitstaff who'll steer you to their favorites. Townies new and old are regulars--couples on a casual date, pals splitting a light supper and young marrieds with a tyke in tow. Pick-up trucks and Volvo station wagons alike... more

Pretentious, Pricey and simply Not Worth It.

Elbow-to-elbow seating, coupled with 30 minute waits for app's are surpassed only by the unappetizing food and long waits to get it on your table.

Pass on this and go to any other Italian Resturant in Boston.

Pros

+ They let you leave after you pay

Cons

- They let you in

Paolo's is definitely a candidate for destination dining. There are lots of reason to check out this welcoming spot -- like us, you might stop because the parking is so much easier than the North End, but the food will have you coming back. It's imaginative Italian, without being pretentious. Don't fill up on the bread, even though they bake their own and it's amazing. Save some room for the... more

Super service - staff - warm and friendly - atmosphere - very cozy . Best bread too - bake their own daily....so delicious (all natural - no preservatives), we took some... more
