Went with friends to Paolo's. Had the Steak Gorgonzola. It was so tender and melted in my mouth. The food was incredible.

I have been here several times now and I've always had a wonderful experience. The food is delectable and the service is so friendly and helpful. It's a small place and it feels good to be supporting a small business like this. Get reservations because they fill up fast. But it definitely is worth the time. Delicious pasta, amazing scallops, and the best chop salad. We loved it all.

This is the best Italian food I've eaten in the U.S. I don't know how I've never discovered this place before but they are so delicious. Portion size is generous. Service was a bit slow. No one came to refill water without us asking. But servers were all very nice. I also like how anyone will help you if you ask. Most servers from other restaurants will ask you to wait for your server to come around which is a huge no no for me. It's kind of interesting where this is located because it's not in the best neighborhood, but I'm so glad it's not in downtown Seattle or the prices will double. Overall ambiance is also good. Cutely decorated. 10/10 would come back. Lasagna- not too heavy, love the flavor profile Crab and scallops pasta - this is basically like a vodka sauce with scallops and crab.

We've been enjoying Paolo's for years for special occasions and family celebrations. The food has always been wonderful! It's a delight to have a delicious option so close to home, but definitely worth the trip if further away. Our family favorites include: the angel hair Shrimp & Scallops, Pork Chop, Seasonal Seafood Risotto, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Ravioli with Walnut Cream Sauce and their Gorgonzola or raspberry vinaigrette for house salads. They do get busy so reservations are recommended. We also enjoyed stellar takeout during Covid. Thank you Paolo!

We came here last month in celebration of Valentine's Day for lunch and it was fantastic. The ambiance is just right for either a date night/lunch or a business lunch with clients or a casual lunch with friends. It's a come for any occasion type of place. The food was delicious. The bread was nice to munch on and our meals were great too. We typically have ordered delivery here but it was good to sit down and enjoy the fantastic service. I can't wait to come back for a dinner meal and trust me, we will be back. On your Kent restaurant bingo card, make sure this is on your list to visit!

My husband and I stopped by Palio's for date night after getting a recommendation. Jennifer was out waitress and did a lovely job. I initially ordered the special, which had just run out. Jennifer made sure to bring me back the menu so I could get my order in right away. We started with the bruschetta. It was fresh and beautiful. It was served with a delicious roasted garlic. I had the tortellini Gorgonzola hold the chicken, with a delightful creamy walnut sauce. The flavors blended together so well, just a lovely dish. My husband had the cioppino and raved about it. We are both looking forward to coming back!

Have you ever had a meal that was so good you get a smile on your face the next day thinking about it? This place has become one of our favorites. It's a quiet little place right off 104th in Kent adjacent to East Hill. It only seats about 50 and that just lends to the intimate atmosphere. Our reservation was ready right on time, and we were greeted by a very friendly waitperson. She made a few suggestions and let us know what the specials of the day were. We started with the meatball sampler. A total of six meatballs in three different sauces. The perfect start to a great meal. My wife opted for the seafood fettuccine, and I went with the bone in ribeye. Both were the perfect portion, size and delicious. Pasta was homemade and light and delicious. Not the chewy thick pasta I've had at other places. The restaurant was packed capacity, and we had no problems having a conversation because the noise level was fairly low. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. Five stars for cleanliness of the entire restaurant. For dessert we had a full portion of tiramisu and a cannoli. Both were the perfect end to an awesome meal. We look forward to our next visit.
