  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
PAOLO'S is a charmingly buzzy 50-seat scratch-kitchen and bar with a core menu of refreshed Italian-American, Mediterranean, and seasonal New England recipes reflecting Boston-based chef Paul Delios’ 40-year career.

At his former national award-winning restaurants (Paolo's, Meze and Kane's Donuts) Delios earned acclaim for his mountain-size heart and multi-cuisine mastery. His signature pizza crust, pasta combos and sumptuous entrées have always shined bright.

Named by Boston Common Magazine in 2024 as one of Boston's best restaurants in the suburbs, with dinner and bar service Tuesday through Saturday, PAOLO'S is the first concept by boutique restaurant group Veloce Brands, LLC, founded by Delios and 25-year food and lifestyle writer, editor and communications director Jen Chase-Corwin (owner/creative director).

Come for favorites. Come for specials. (And did we mention the pizza?)

    It wasn’t super busy so not noisy and our server had too much time to pay attention to us, but otherwise good.

    Sorry to say that a member of our group got a hair on top of her chicken parm. She took it off because it happens sometimes. The dish was delicious. She took half home because portion was large! When heating it up to eat it, she found another hair! Had to throw it out at that point. Everything else we had was very good.

    This was our first time here. I would definitely go back. The food was delicious! The restaurant was a cute little quaint place in a strip mall. The minute you walked in you knew it was going to be a good meal. The tables were full and people were enjoying themselves. My husband had the Nonno which was meatballs and sausage and pasta. He said it was very tasty and pasta was definitely homemade. I had scallop risotto which it too was very good. The scallops were a good size and the risotto was very filling. We definitely will go back
