Since opening its doors in 1995, Caffe Paradiso has been a home away from home for Tampa locals and visitors as everyone who stops by is treated like family. Chef Paolo Tini takes inspiration from the seaside city Rimini where he grew up with a family who loved to cook, refining their classic recipes to create mouth-watering homemade masterpieces for Caffe Paradiso's guests. Menu options include hot and cold antipasti, soup and salad, fresh pasta dishes, and meat and seafood entrees like veal ossobuco, chicken alla Siciliana, grilled salmon is a light Dijon sauce, parmesan-crusted trout with herbs and prosciutto, and duckling sauteed with a demiglace with orange flavor. The bar features an impressive selection of Italian wines, as well as beer and cocktails, and try to save room for a decadent dessert of tiramisu or limoncello cake. A private dining room is available for special events or business meetings and reservations are accepted for dinner in their main space. With authentic Italian cuisine served in a casually refined atmosphere, there are few things as deliciously comforting as a meal at Caffe Paradiso.
