★★★★★ 5.0 Anthony Maurizio · Jan 2026

A true gem, delivering an unforgettable Italian dining experience. The chicken Parmigiana is a crispy, golden masterpiece, perfectly paired with their homemade fettuccine. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo is rich, creamy, and downright dreamy, while the hot tender sausage and flavorful meatballs are a meat lover’s dream. Save room for dessert... the pistachio cheesecake and Snickers pie are indulgent finales that linger long after the last bite. Add in a wonderful wine selection that complements every dish, and you’ve got something special. Don’t miss the lobster ravioli with their house pesto sauce... a decadent indulgence that transports your taste buds straight to the Italian coast. Paul’s Pasta is a premier destination for Italian cuisine and easily some of the best Italian food you’ll e

★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Arce · Nov 2025

I recently visited Paul’s Pasta Shop and had an absolutely wonderful dining experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the team made us feel genuinely welcomed—warm smiles, attentive service, and a friendly atmosphere set the tone for what turned out to be a memorable meal. What truly stole the show was the pasta sauce. The flavors were an exquisite balance of rich, savory depth and bright, fresh ingredients—each bite felt layered and thoughtfully crafted. It was clear the sauce had been simmered with care and paired beautifully with the fresh pasta they make in-house. It’s rare to taste something that hits both comfort and sophistication in equal measure. If you’re looking for a place with incredible pasta, a standout sauce, and warm, welcoming service, Pau

★★★★★ 5.0 Maria Schifano · Oct 2025

Paul's makes their own pasta. It was delicious. I had the pappardell carbonara. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente! The views from the patio were fantastic. I would highly recommend Paul's pasta shop!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kay Kay · Mar 2026

The food here was reasonably priced and delicious. They make their own pasta and sauces. The alfredo, and chicken parmigiana was amazing and the portions were generous. We finished up with the tiramisu which we shared. So yummy. They have an outdoor deck overlooking the river although obviously not open when it's 41 degrees outside. We would love to come back in the warmer weather and sit outside with a glass of wine.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Marcha Thomas · Jan 2026

Small, cozy place. Parking could be difficult during rush. Food is standard common pasta dishes, a bit bland for my taste, not enough sauce, no zest. However, the locals seem to like it, so that's probably what counts. Service was slow, but no issues.
