Paradise Restaurant - Winnipeg

Normally I never would have picked this restaurant, but a friend made the suggestion. Although the area is not the greatest and the decor is dated, the homemade pasta and daily specials are amazing!

I travel for work so I eat out many, many times a month and all over North America. I arrived late into my hotel and wanted to work in my room so I asked the front desk staff for a good local delivery pizza. They recommended Paradise. It was a very good pizza. I had their version of a deluxe and enjoyed it. Lots of cheese and toppings. Would I get it again for sure. After a day in the office I was looking for another place to eat dinner and remembered the hotel said they have great pasta also. As I was nearby I went in. Honestly had I not known it was good I would not have stopped. It could a serious make over of new lighting and sign. But DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR. GO IN. One of, if not the best lasagna I have ever had. Freshly baked bread rolls and meat sauce. It was incredible and great value. So two nights in Winnipeg and both nights the Paradise hit a home run. It is now my go to place in Winnipeg for future visits. Owner is from Milan and service was excellent. I felt like a family member by the time I left.

Excellent food, fair prices and the best bread sticks! Try the Cheese salad...everything is good. Mmmm now I'm hungry.

This is not a place for hipsters and people who like Boston pizzas bland cardboard pizza. I have been going here since it opened in the 70s and love the real and honest atmosphere. The food is always delisious and the environment is casual not stuck up phoney like a lot of places  in Winnipeg. The portions are huge the sauces are authentic and delicious same goes for the veal and pasta. The bread sticks are amazing. Sure like others we have had some times were things were a bit off but who hasn't had a bad day. They used to include salad but because of the increasing cost of doing business they do not now. In a way a blessing because my wife and I would be full on breadsticks and salad and would take the main course home as we still take half of it home now. I hope they stick around for years to come too many good old resturaunts have disappeared and are replaced by soulless corporate shells of resturaunts full of soulless people with no taste buds. I am a old school guy who likes big portions and a place that feels comfortable where you come as you are . I care more about quality of the food served not how pretty it looks on a plate. Thanks Paradise for the many amazing meals you have served my family for over 30 years.

Came here for dinner on a weekday evening and was surprised how quiet it was. It was my first time coming to Paradise and really only knew about it after a recommendation from a co-worker. The restaurant is spacious though the renovations are somewhat dated.<br/ <br/ We were greeted and seated promptly and the waitress was very attentive throughout our meal. We were brought a basket of rolls that were fresh out of the oven and very delicious! My wife kept commenting how the bread was piping hot which she then proceeded to eat a whole roll.<br/ <br/ I wasn't particularly hungry so I ordered the a Paradise open faced sandwich with a side of house Italian salad. It seemed like the salad was tossed a bit too early and was somewhat soggy by the time it got to table, but the salad was well seasoned and the sandwich was very tasty. My wife enjoyed her chicken parm, she got it with a side of pasta with meat sauce. The noodle is cooked softer than most pasta places would so I wouldn't call it al dente. Strangely my wife likes softer noodles so she really enjoyed her entree.<br/ <br/ Service was prompt and they were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely come back in the future if we're in the area.
