Casa Paolo in Cornwall

Amazing experience filled with fresh bread, pasta, desserts and well paired wines! Perfect for someone looking for the authentic Italian experience.We really appreciate that it is a family run and owned business.Highly recommended!

Very expensive for a small town. Pasta is very cheap to produce no matter how you slice it, Way too expensive for what you get. Service amazing, atmosphere great.

Went for business dinner on a weeknight. The atmosphere was warn and inviting. Cathy the owner greets you at the door and even remembers your name after not seeing you for a long time! Our waitress Sandra was delightful and very professional. She made a point to learn all our names. The food and the service were excellent. I has the linguini pescatore in an alfredo sauce and it was the first time I had such a flavourful seafood pasta dish. Everything was excellent and I highly recommend their restaurant for a business dinner or relaxing evening with great food!

Had an amazing dinner at Casa Paolo Ristorante Italiano, in Cornwall last night. The food and service was 5 star, great atmosphere with extremely competent and friendly staff, the owner actually comes to your table for a brief chat, and a “surprise” song and cake for my hubby’s birthday with the owner actually participating in the presentation. A true gem in this area that we will certainly frequent again.

We Love Casa Paolo. Great food great service. 👍

Table of 14 for monthly family dinner...Great food for sure but why were we charged 10.00 more per plate than menu prices...I understand that with a larger group that a smaller menu to order from is easier on kitchen staff but to charge more per plate is offensive...I also would like to mention that there are no washrooms on premises for persons with mobility issues...washrooms are in the basement of restaurant making it impossible for disabled people to use...this is 2022...hmmm🤔

Lady at the door said she was getting a table ready, it never came. I cant rate the food, but the rest is less than favorable..

First time back in a few years. Wow. Happy to be back. Wish could be more than once a year.

It’s a busy local restaurant with various food choices

Casa Polo is a very good restaurant, we first visited two years ago during Covid and the staff was great the floor delicious. We went back last week and equally enjoyed ourselves. I recommend this restaurant.

I got surf and turf, food was great! Small portion

We visited from Ottawa and they gave amazing service. The waitress and owner were so sweet!!! Drinks and Food was amazing I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting Cornwall :I will definitely be back!

Such amazing food!! Truly a great experience.

The bread was hot and fresh out of the oven, the salad and salad dressing was good. They never refilled our water or offered us more bread. The chicken parmigiana was good, but definitely not the best. The sauce that I use at home tastes better to me. The portions are a little small, so if you’re a big person, you might end up walking out hungry. We were there early, shortly after opening at 4pm and there was not even one customer there, but they kept analyzing if they could seat us somewhere. Eventually they did because someone only had a reservation at 7pm. We didn’t want to sit there for hours - we just wanted to eat and leave.

I really hoped to be able to leave a fantastic review but we felt let down. The service was outstanding and we had little wait time given its a small restaurant and the size of the menu. But the food/drinks didnt match the price, especially for Cornwall. The drinks were watered down. Im a lightweight and usually feel one martini. Having 2, I didnt feel anything. They were tasty however. The food itself was good. Serving sizes for entree were medium - more what youd expect for in-house made pasta/higher quality. Icky bread rolls that werent refilled (1 each)and no butter. For $200, including tip, for 2 of us with a shared appetizer, it just was a mismatch over expectations vs food/drink quality. 1/3 lower price or better quality, this would be a regular restaurant for us.

Have eaten there often and am never disappointed! There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed our dinners.

Great placeAmazing foodAmazing hospitalityAmazing ambiance.We recommend this place 100%Thank you for the great eveningDebbie F

Grossly understaffed…waited forever for our meals. When we complained to our waitress, she said that we were all in the same boat…in other words, take a number.The owner offered no comps, which is her right, but not good business, as we will never return to this establishment.

Excellent food, beautiful atmosphere, and attentive service. Thank you for making my birthday celebration a memorable!!

Cant get better than this in cornwall. If you want a consistent excellent cuisine this is the best in cornwall. Best steak and lobster, homemade pasta. Ive tried them all over 30 years and have never been disappointed. All our new people in Cornwall from Toronto if you want a great meal try it, you wont be disappointed. They have a patio now so very comfy. The entire restaurant is classy including the friendly staff, never a problem. Veggies are grilled to perfection. Try the fried zucchini as an entree you wont regret it. Daily soup is included with meals and so good. You also have a choice of soup, salad or Caesar salad.Presentation is always mouth watering. Veggies are grilled to perfection and if you can try the fried zucchini, yum. Wish I could go more often

The food was fantastic , and the staff were so helpful (big thanks to Chloeand welcoming in this wonderful restaurant. A really special experience. The cocktails prepared by Alex were delicious. Cant wait to visit again

My sister and I were here for her birthday, and we didnt have reservation. Cathy was awesome when I called at the last minute, and within a half hour we were sitting at a table. The food was excellent. Thank you Cathy

Excellent meal and reasonably priced in an era where nothing is reasonably priced.Id go back.

Service was exceptional. Our waitress seemed to know exactly when she was needed. There were four of us, and everyone made comments on how good the meals were. The lasagna was "to die for", and the steak melted in your mouth. Anyone wishing for a dinner where the food is excellent, you are cared for in the best way, and your patronage is appreciated, try Casa Paolo.

Excellent food, good service. Recommend to us by locals. Not cheap but fine dining shouldnt be. Quite atmosphere for conversation. Restaurant can get crowded so we going on off peak nights might be better.

We had a group event of 40+ on Good Friday, with only one day notice of the reservation. The staff offered us a limited menu of four selections, as we had an event to attend later in the evening. The selection was varied, with pasta, chicken, veal & salmon offered. The service & food were great!! Our whole group had nothing but praise- thank you! Highly recommend!!

My wife and I decided to go out on a Wed evening for a much needed relaxing dinner. We were greeted with a big smile as we walked in. The food and service were excellent! The Atmosphere was warm and inviting. All in all a great dinning experience for both my wife and I, we truly enjoyed it. I especially like that the owner came around to ask how everything was and followed by a pleasant conversation. Thank you Casa Paolo for a great evening.

We have been going to this restaurantfor over 8 years now and its ourfavourite. The food is fantastic and theatmosphere and staff are warm andwelcoming. We always look forward toreturning. If you like veal saltimbocca,theirs is really worth trying.

Great food,decent prices

Food was very tasty the garlic salad was a bit watery.The service was prompt and friendly.Reasonably priced.I would recommend to others

Minimal Caesar salad maybe 3 limp lettuce leafs. Microscopic buns. Grossly overpriced escargot. Cold entrees with 1 asparagus.Yelling clients. Finally an overpowering bill. I felt ripped off. Sorry CP. But just a bad experience.

A wonderfully warm atmosphere, friendly and professional service. The food was outstanding!! I have found my new favorite place to eat. If you want an authentic Italian experience, and enjoy lovingly created food - this is the place for you. What a gem. My only regret is not going there before now.

First time in the restaurant. Food was excellent. We were there on a Tuesday evening and everything was very fresh. Calamari had just the perfect coating of breadcrumbs and veal Parmigiano was done perfectly, nice and tender. The wait staff are incredibly nice always with a smile! Bartender was even willing to try out a new mix for one of our party. We will be returning soon!

Server was amazing but I asked for an order of cream of asparagus soup for takeout and they filled the container not even a quarter of the way. Quite the rip off and really disappointing considering it was $7.50.

The food is very good from appetizer to main course and dessert. Alfredo sauce is top notch. We enjoyed the meal on the very nice patio.

The BEST restaurant with delicious appetizers, main course selections and dessert. The wait staff are superb too. Patio and inside dining is great. Truly a wonderful dining experience.

Waited an hour for our food. Calamari was overly salty and we had to send it back. It was replaced with a calamari totally without flavor. We had the New York strip which was very chewy and two pasta dishes which both had a watered down version of alfredo sauce. Way over charged for the quality served. The waitress was very nice and cooperative. She should train the hostess how to speak to people. Hostess was very short and somewhat miserable. We planned to have an 80th birthday party there but no way now.

Visited for the first time today. Was very disappointed.The wait was long for everything. I ordered the spaghetti Bolognese with Italian sausage. The sausage was dry. The sauce was overly acidic with little meat, little flavour, and chunky with undercooked tomato. My partner had the carbonara - instead of cream sauce they served it with scrambled eggs (how do you call yourself Italian when you cant even get a basic carbonara right??). Two tiny plates of ceasar salad (no bacon). Two cheap wonderbread rolls. All this for only $60.The only redeeming factors were the excellent servers (who you can tell are doing their bestand the lone saint in the kitchen who knew to make the pasta al dente. Bless his heart.

What a discovery! We were in the area and looking for a place to go for dinner for my girlfriends birthday. Picked this place and couldnt have picked better. Lovely atmosphere. Great food.

I am often disappointed with restaurants. Not so a Casa Paolo!!!Caesar salad to die for. Very attentive staff, but not too attentive. Great atmosphereMy only complaint is that it is too far from home (Montreal). My thinking is that its worth the trip anyway.

Great service, lovely patio, background music was like being in a southern climate at a resort. Italian food was hot, tasty and a good portion. Nice warm rolls and crisp Caesar salad. Really loved the lasagna.

My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here on Saturday night (Nov 14and were so pleased with everything (were new to the area and it was our first visit). Lovely ambiance, romantic lighting and the food was all delicious. We had the caesar salad, cream of broccoli soup, chicken cardinale and chicken parmigiana and it was all beautifully presented and tasted great. The Baileys cheesecake was fresh and flavourful. Our server Katie was polite, professional and had a lovely, friendly personality--thank you for the great service and thanks to everyone for a lovely evening!

This restaurant is phenomenal! The staff are so friendly and helpful (they know their food!and the food, OMG. Each time my husband and I go, we choose a different dish, and we are NEVER disappointed; from the soup to dessert, its all delicious!! Well definitely be back.

Reservation was made for a Birthday dinner of six people. It was busy as usual on a Friday evening. Ordered our meals, all orders were either penne or chicken dishes. We asked for table rolls after waiting 30 minutes. When that finally arrived the waitress we had said the male server working with her took our rolls and she had to wait for ours. How long does it take to warm up rolls? It took over 1 1/2 hours for our meal to be served. When we asked why the wait was so long we were told that everything is made to order. I saw tables seated after our arrival getting served before our table. Pasta takes less than 10 minutes to cook, chicken less than 30 minutes. Food was mediocre. I would not rush back. Grandma makes better. At the end of the evening the hostess came to our table to further explain that they were very busy. What is a surprise to be busy? Your only open 4-9:30 pm and can’t prepare accordingly? Will never return.

First time and dont know what took me so long. Excellent food. Romantic ambiance. Excellent customer service. Had stuffed eggplant with pasta. Im continue to salivate thinking of the dish. Perfection. Definitely would recommend. Ill be back soon.

This was just okay for us. I do not recommend spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs did not a have a great flavour to them. The tomato sauce wasnt overly flavourful. Not sure if they cook the meatballs in the sauce but that could make a difference if they start to. Garlic bread and cheese was just okay.. For mediocre food it was expensive. Staff and the place was very lovely though.

Fanciest restaurant in Cornwall in my opinion. Incredible Italian food, and service is excellent. Fresh ingredients and the care that chefs put into all meals is clear. Will try their patio in the future as it looks very good. Ive often celebrated special events such as anniversaries, graduations and more, and they really offer a professional and happy environment. Strongly recommend.

The service was very good and the food was excellent. We had take out the first night we were in Cornwall. The amount of food we had was great. Filled us up after a long drive.The next day we met friends there and had a great meal on the patio. The staff was very accommodating when a second set of friends showed up late.

We went as a group for Mothers Day and had a wonderful time. The service was friendly and attentive, though not overly so. We all ordered off the Mothers Day special menu, though we could have from the regular menu and no one was disappointed. From steak to chicken to salmon to pasta, it was all wonderful and in perfect portions. I would highly recommend eating here. We will be visiting many times in the future because there are so many options I want to tuck into.

Being Italian I dont often go to Italian restaurants at the risk of being disappointed.Firstly, the pasta is not homemade. Secondly, when veal parmigiana has overload of mozzarella, thats generally an indicator that they are supplementing on taste. Third, I found the Caesar salad tasted fishy.Lastly, if Im going to pay $3 for a TUMBLER of sprite at the very least make it free refills? Service was just ok. Personally not impressed. Not worth the $$.
