For more than 20 years, Paolo’s has been bringing the taste of Italy to Kent. Paul Raftis founded the restaurant after growing up learning to cook along side his mother, Darlene Raftis. He enjoys the open kitchen he can chat with guests as he works. He never tires of hearing "It smells so good in here!" As a marathoner, he is living proof that that you can eat Italian and be healthy. In fact, one of his signature dishes, "Fettucine Paolo" was featured in Runner's World magazine. "It's one of the dishes I developed, it has no cream in it, no butter." It's a delicious pasta dish that utilizes olive oil, garlic, chicken stock, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, and chicken. So whether it's bruschetta, cioppino, pizza, or spaghetti and meatballs, Paul thanks each of you for choosing to dine here.

This was our first visit. The food was good, the burgers very filling. Ask for dressing on the side for salad, there was a lot on the bottom of the bowl but it was delicious so it was a learning curve. Our server Amanda was over the top wonderful. She was attentive and so pleasant. Love the decor but then it falls into my age group

I was blown away by the outstanding service and attention we received. I appreciate how your staff offered us options for seating and then continually checked in on us to make sure we were taken care of. Thank you so much to Sam and all the others who helped her. Much appreciated. I enjoyed my salad with grilled shrimp, delicious. The only comment was that there should be more fennel in the fennel/tomato soup. Otherwise all was great. I will be back with my husband for dinner.
