Great intent for Paradise -- I actually thought we were going to a plush piano bar sort of place with fine Italian food. Actually I had no idea they served Italian food because their sign says "bar and grill". "You are in for a treat" says all the staff, which helps me temporarily get past the skating rink concession looking area dining room. Marble floors, a disturbing (buzzing) fluorescent gelato display, ceiling that changes neon color every five seconds and sports bar smack in the middle of the restaurant. No music, just a red piano on the opposite side of the dining room that sort of looks like it came from The Mad Greek (mural and all). To be fair we ordered a little bit of everything off the menu. The brick oven pizza was very basic -- and I would have never guessed they used a brick oven. The "gravy" (sauce) wasn't very tasty - acidic and the crust was very dry. Never in my life have I eaten basil and not tasted it -- no flavor basil on everything. Caprese salad was ruined with loads of salt. We left our plates half eaten and didn't get to-go boxes or desserts. As a sicilian originally from the east coast this restaurant falls short for their big prices. The concept is fantastic but the name, logo, food, atmosphere and interior need to change to bring us back. The icing on the cake was the staff forcing 10% coupons "to give to our friends". We declined.
