His signature pizza crust, pasta combos and sumptuous entrées have always shined bright. Named by Boston Common Magazine in 2024 as one of Boston's best restaurants in the suburbs, with dinner and bar service Tuesday through Saturday, PAOLO'S is the first concept by boutique restaurant group Veloce Brands, LLC, founded by Delios and 25-year food and lifestyle writer, editor and communications director Jen Chase-Corwin (owner/creative director).

The tuna ceviche is a must try. Oysters are served at perfectly cold temps with plenty of horseradish! The brussel sprouts are delicious. The scallops are amazing and a good sized portion. Green goddess salad is great and you can add protein too! Cocktail list is varied and seasonal. Wine list is varied and affordable. Great spot

Wonderful family run spot, with a menu of creative dishes plus favorite standards. Great for an early dinner after visiting the Peabody Essex museum or touring Salam. Charming decor, good prices. Excellent pasta dishes with choice of chicken or veal. Good for kids too but also cute and romantic!
