As a marathoner, he is living proof that that you can eat Italian and be healthy. In fact, one of his signature dishes, "Fettucine Paolo" was featured in Runner's World magazine. "It's one of the dishes I developed, it has no cream in it, no butter." It's a delicious pasta dish that utilizes olive oil, garlic, chicken stock, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, and chicken. So whether it's bruschetta, cioppino, pizza, or spaghetti and meatballs, Paul thanks each of you for choosing to dine here.

    We eat at Sharps every time we’re in the area. We’ve never had anything but a great experience, until our last visit. Our server, Jasmin, treated us like we were an inconvenience to her. She really tainted the experience for us. The food was amazing, like always. My husband loves the salmon chowder and the brisket Mac and cheese is phenomenal. We were never offered drink refills and when we asked for to go containers she was, for the lack of a better word, indifferent. We had multiple containers so I asked her for a bag, she told me I could go ask the hostess counter for one. We will come back because a bad experience one time isn’t going to ruin the restaurant for us, we were just very disappointed.

    Not an ideal spot for a meeting as it's extremely cramped and loud. If anyone is at all hard of hearing, I would not recommend. Otherwise it's a fun place with good food and very personalized service.
