• Italian • Kent
Booked 9 times today
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.

We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences!

    Our favorite hidden gem in Southcenter. Mainstream italian-style food served by experienced and competent staff. All the standbys: various fresh-made pastas with well-chosen ingredients, a rack of lamb and various fish. I like the beef medallion dish, especially the "reduction". I asked to have lower-carb mushrooms substituted for the default pasta and they happily complied The dessert tray, from which you can select at your table after your meal, always includes a dozen or more of a wide variety of treats.

    My family and I had a great experience tonight. The server was warm and friendly with my family and especially my little toddler who she was extra attentive to. Bread hit the table with waters immediately as well as water in a kids cup for my son without having to ask along with crayons and his order taken early. Our server provided menu recommendations and showed me some insider tips on how she likes to add shrimp to the scallops pasta, she was right as it was delicious! The rest of my family enjoyed their meal. They even called us after we left our credit card there. This is the kind of service even the top most restaurants would kill to see. Paolos, we love ya!
