Reviews for Cafe Paradisio in Redding, CA
The food was exceptional, beginning with our very flavorfully fresh heirloom tomato brurrata. Our salads (pickled beet for me,... yummy) then on to entrees were perfectly executed and absolutely delicious. The array of choices for the many dietary needs ofdining patrons is covered at this lovely restaurant owned by Mike and Amber who are also chef and server, managers andbartender, host and hostess extraordinaire!!! My birthday meal was the icing and sprinkles on my day!! Read more
Having recently moved here from a big city area that had an AMAZING food scene, we've had to temper our expectations of many... restaurants as being "Redding Good" vs what we were used to back in our former home. This is the first place that justlegitimately blew us away. The staff was excellent. The ambiance was perfect. The food... My goodness... The FOOD! By far, thebest we've had in Redding, and would easily compete with the best restaurants across the country. It's that good. If you'relooking for a date night, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not coming here. Read more
Short story: To. Die. For. Long story: We started with side salads (larger than most) with plenty of greens, tomatoes,... croutons, and two different homemade dressings. The Mosely Family Cellars Syrah was "jammy" and paired well with both mouthwatering main dishes. Locally grown Fuyu persimmons added color and complemented the Lemon Thyme Rissoto and fork tenderBraised Beef Cheek I'd ordered. My daughter ordered the Duck Breast, which was perfectly cooked and served over smashed Yukonpotatoes, spiraled root veggies encircled by spiced maple syrup and pecans. After finishing off our main dishes, we opted tosplit a crème brûlée (creamier and not too sweet than others we've eaten). Chef Michael has many GF options, andaccommodated my low oxalate dietary request to replace any spinach in my salad with any other lettuce. Amber's hospitality andwait service was also excellent. This husband and wife team can expect to see us back again! Read more
Beautiful plating, excellent service, kind staff, hot delicious food cooked to perfection. If I didn't live in excess of 5 hours... away I'd come here on a monthly basis. And I can't forget about the Gelato. Absolutely amazing. Wish I could break the scale offive. They deserve all the stars! Read more
Mind blowing! Got into Redding late at night and stopped here by pure chance. Great service, great food, and with the Zen Bowl... specifically, some of the best sauces I’ve had. 100% worth a stop if you’re in town! Read more
My girlfriend and I just had dinner here and we can't say anything negative. The food here is amazing. She has multiple dietary... restrictions and the chef (worthy of the title) worked with us to make her an absolutely amazing vegan and gluten free meal. Forthose without restrictions, you will love the food too. If you're like her and need special considerations then try the Zen Bowlwith Tofu. If you're like me then get the crispy pork gnocchi. I feel like my taste buds just had a religious experience. Justwow. Oh and the staff are amazingly kind as well. You will not be disappointed. Best food in Redding for me after moving here ayear ago. Oh yeah. They are toddler friendly and made a special meal just for our 3 year old that he loved. Read more

Small little place but the food is outstanding. Tried it once a few months ago and have been back several times since. Always... seems busy so maybe I was the last to know, but I feel like this place is a little of a local secret. Their Halibut isoutstanding, the bolognase was also amazing. Scallops were delicious. Easily one of the top 3 restaurants in Redding. Read more
