Chef Paolino Cafe

Solid Trattoria with beer and wine as well as NYC Italian pastries and Oyster Bar on Wednesdays over the winter. Recently had their mussels in white wine and full size New York style sausage and mushroom pepperoni pizza (pics). Summer 2022 dad always gets the shrimp salad wrap this year. It was noticeably smaller than in the past. Hope that's not a trend. Suggest you order the combo pizza which allows three toppings. Cheaper than just ordering two toppings on their own. Both the muscles and the pizza were delicious. I even dipped the pizza a little bit into the broth. Another recent visit had three slices, tomato, spinach and mushrooms (pic). They were all delicious. We also love the shrimp salad wrap. Great big shrimp and tasty. My vegetarian wife loves their baked ziti and Mom and I love their seafood pastas with white, rosé, or marinara sauces. A lot of their stuff uses homemade sauce which is fantastic. And we also love their garlic knots. The garlic bread tends to be too hard but the garlic knots are the way to go. Meatball parmesan sub was okay but meatballs a bit bland.

Great food - Friendly Service - Generous Portions - Reasonable Portions. You order at the counter, and they bring your delicious food to you. I got the Meatball Sub. The meatballs were tasty and the sub roll was a perfect addition. My wife ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana. For an extra $1.50 you can add a small salad to your meal. The portion was too big for her to finish - I helped. The people who delivered our food checked back on us.

We ordered this through UberEats and wow best packaging and hot food through delivery! Everything was fresh and the Chicken marsala is so delicious! My son is GF and the GF spaghetti was so good, you couldn't tell it was GF!

I love love the food. It was really much for one person fr; I ate good. Food was delicious nd tasty. I’m a pasta lover so i will def be going there more often

This restaurant serves the long sought after genuine New York style pizza on white paper plates! The Good: - We found the prices here to be very reasonable. - We didn’t have to wait long for our food. - They piled the meat lover’s pizza high with toppings. - The garlic knots were worth trying. - Because they made a mistake with our dessert order, they gave us a complimentary dessert. The Bad: - There was no table service at the time we dined. However, the staff did bus our table. - Our pizza crust was a bit tough. - Although flavorful, we found our pizza a bit salty. -Our table wobbled badly. The other tables we tried also wobbled. We shimmed our table with napkins and lived happily ever after. We deducted two stars for the rocking horse table, along with the salty pizza with somewhat tough crust. We gave an extra-credit star for the complimentary dessert. Regardless, this restaurant is definitely worth visiting!

We had a great lunch at the restaurant. You order at the counter and then have a seat in the dining room until your order number is called. The food is very good, and the prices are moderate. We had the Antipasta Freddo ($12.95) and the Manicotti ($10.95). Soft drinks were $2.50 each. There is a large parking lot in front of the restaurant so parking is easy, a big plus in Catonsville.

Linguine Posillipo-Dinner, The Best! Fresh shrimp, calamari, clams, and mussels sautéed in a marinara sauce over linguine. Chef's Kiss

I did a carry out order for an Italian cold cut and fries. The food was very delicious! 10 out of 10. The counter staff were fast and polite. The only issue i had was the did not give me any napkins or ketchup with my meal. I had to use the plastic bag that it came in to wipe my mouth. I however highly recommend this restaurant! Can't wait to try other dishes!
