Welcome to Paradiso

home of great italian food since 1934

Paradiso has enough individuality and charm to knock the socks off most of its rivals. It has the atmosphere of a traditional trattoria yet it's the food that's really authentic. Appealing seafood and meat mains prove there's more to cheap Italian fare than pizza and pasta - though these are memorable too, with options going beyond the reliable favourites.

Ben'arrivati a Paradiso

Sicilian restaurateurs Giovanni and Salvatore Salamone opened their first Paradiso restaurant in London's Store Street in 1993. Their philosophy on food mirrors their philosophy on life: whatever you do, do it with passion!

Our locations

There are three Paradiso restaurants – all in central London – and an expanding chain of unique Sicilian caffès. Caffè Deli Paradiso opened at Shad Thames in 2007 and there are more on the way!

Seriously addictive ice cream

That the company has a reputation for excellence is down to the brothers' commitment to using only the finest quality ingredients for traditional recipes sourced from Sicily in the south right up to the northern tip of Italy. Nothing is left to chance which is why the dishes you'll find on the menu – including the seriously addictive ice cream recommended by TIME OUT - are created only by Paradiso chefs.

Our commitment to you

Wherever you see the name Paradiso you are guaranteed a warm welcome from people who celebrate the art of preparing and serving wonderful food.
