We had nice time on our recent (and first) trip to Paradiso. The inside is really beautiful and well spread out, parking was not an issue, and our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and Italian dining. There were six of us in the party (two kids), and we had a good sampling of the menu. The portions seemed a bit small (which drives me nuts when compared to price - it is South Philly, make the plate overflow!), but my wife and mother-in-law couldn't finish their plates. I ordered a pasta dish and replaced the as-designed pasta with the gnocchi - and they really lived up to the billing! Everyone really loved the desserts (cheesecake and chocolate cake).
Pros: Taste and ambience
Cons: Portion vs. price
