Paradiso Ristorante Italiano

My family and I went to visit on a Saturday evening. It was pretty empty but it seems like brunch may be a better time to go if you want to interact with other people. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu, funny and entertaining. The food was pretty good, but everyone ended up tasting my pork chop and liking it better than their meal. I would like to go back during brunch to see what the vibe is.

This was a mixed review. The drinks from the bar were barely passable. Bartender made excuse that she did not have the right run ingredients yet still made the drink anyways. Lemon drop was far from correct with no hint of lemon just cheap sparking wine. The Mona Lisa was sent back. The Waitress must have been brand new as She kept forgetting plates, silverware, and drink orders on what appeared to be a slow night! The Pizza was excellent. Chicken Marsala was very good. The Mushroom Ravioli was good as well.The Veal on the other hand was not the least bit tender. Deserts were very good. Due to the poor service and the poor drinks I can only give this 3 stars. Eat the food, stay away from the mixed drink specials.

So we decided to go home decor shopping at Home Sense (another store like Home Goods, etc.) in the Franconia-Springfield area when we finally decided to hit up this authentic Italian restaurant in Fairfax. May I say, it is very delicious! The texture, tenderness and savory taste of the rack of the lambs was amazing! The pasta pescatore was served nice and hot and it’s seafood taste was off the chains. Our waitress Elisa served and treated us very well. We praise her for educating us on almost the entire menu. LOL! She’s a keeper at this place! One of the things we enjoyed most was that there is actually a cool family brunch on Sundays and they actually have a child’s playroom right inside the restaurant. Where you can monitor your children closely. We highly recommend La Fiamma Italian kitchen!

Excellent ambiance, service and food We had a family Sunday lunch party and our waiter went out of his way to make our experience pleasant, we had small children attending and they had a room just for them with TV entertainment The pizza was pretty good, my Calzone was great except the mozzarella inside was not hot but they made things right. The Tiramisu was one of the best! Their salads and dishes are generous! I recommend this restaurant.

I’ve been coming to La Fiamma ever since they opened. I’ll never understand why they’re not always busy because they never disappoint. My best guess is the location maybe? Anyways, it’s a nice, quiet family owned restaurant which we love to support and their food is consistently fresh and delicious. Bonus point, not overpriced at all (especially considering the current inflation). We finally tried their brunch earlier today and we were pleasantly surprised. I’ve been to countless “fine dining” expensive restaurants and this place easily beats most of them. So many options, everything we tried was perfection. My only complaint is the wait at the pasta/omelette station was a bit long but it was only one person cooking. They can be a bit understaffed at times but honestly let’s cut them a slack. We’re still recovering from the pandemic and small businesses have taken a massive hit. I genuinely love this place and am wishing success to them!

Spaghetti and meatballs was my dinner choice, along with a salad. While the spaghetti and sauce wasn't bad, the meatballs were. Dry, hard over cooked. Tough to cut and chew. I took a bite out of each and couldn't finish any of them. The salad was okay but the cream Italian dressing wasn't very Italian or flavorful.
