    We’ve been here multiple times and service is always friendly and good. Good and tasty food selection. Bar makes consistent drinks. Bottle charge is $35. Parking is limited, mostly on street. Would recommend if in the area.

    We had a most delicious meal. Appetizers-Brussels Sprouts, Prawns and Filet Mignonettea- all generous portions and delicious. Seafood Louis was the best I’ve had in years- hard to find -lots of genuine crab, bay shrimp and prawns, avocado, egg and also very generous portion. Dessert was divine Vanilla Crème Brûlée. Our server Andre was super nice and very attentive. This was our first visit and looking forward to our next time.

    I have always enjoyed Paradiso. My first thing without hesitation is their Roasted Beet Salad. Oh my God!!! I live in Pittsburg. CA. But I don;t mind driving to San Leandro, CA to get the Roasted Beet Salad. There are many other items on the menu that are great also. They have a great selection of cocktails. Just one of my favorite restaurants to eat at.
    Paradiso - San LeandroResponded today
    Thank you Betty! We love that you enjoy our Roasted Beet Salad so much that you will drive a bit out of your way to enjoy it. We're also glad to know that you appreciate our selection of cocktails. Your feedback means a lot to us and we're glad you find our restaurant a great place to dine. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    This was a "work" lunch. I usually come here with Mrs. for dinner. I quickly was reminded why I love Paradiso so much. The service was en pointe. The everyone enjoyed their lunches which ranged from king salmon to their famous rigatoni Bolognese. Erik came by to say hello and thanked us for our service (um, we snuck out of Oakland due to an appointment at our beloved Carlene's T-Shirt Corner for uniform items... but I digress). Anyway, as I have said in other reviews, this is truly San Leandro's Best Kept Secret!
