Description

Stumbling upon Paradiso Ristorante in Lake Worth is a little like fishing up a Van Cleef & Arpels diamond tennis bracelet while you're Dumpster-diving. In a town of taverns, you hardly expect to find a restaurant where all the waiters dress in expensive black suits with silk ties and call you "Madam." Not only is this space beautiful and classy -- from the violet-tinted lighting to the stone walls and giant murals of the old country -- but the food's exquisite: Chef Angelo Romano turns out mushroom risottos, fillets of sole, venison steaks, and handmade raviolis that have no match in this vicinity. Paradiso also has its own pastry chef; witness the tortes, butter cookies, pistachio cream pies, and flourless chocolate cakes under the pastry counter at the entrance. Yes, you can have it all: Their four-course $58 tasting menu, served nightly, is quite a bargain (and so is the seven-course, for $90).

It's not that these hunkalicious European studmuffins call us "madam," drawing out lush vowels as if they were licking anisette-flavored... More »
2005 | Best Expensive Italian

Short of booking a flight to Italy's Amalfi coast, you're not going to find a whole bunch of restaurants where the waiters address you as madam, whip out plates of char-grilled calamari on shredded artichoke and arugula salad, uncork your wine with a flourish of white linen, appear with glasses of chilled, homemade limoncello, and prevail upon you with samples of biscotti. That such a place exists in backward bumpkin Lake Worth, where nothing happens but a lot of bickering over whether to... More »

Conspicuous Consumption

By Gail Shepherd | Thu, December 28, 2006

The P.R. was relentless. Paradiso, the Lake Worth restaurant owned by Chef Angelo Romano, was celebrating its tenth birthday all season long with a dish of $100 risotto. This was almost more outrageous than the $100 burger recently unveiled at the... More »
