I had known of and had been to Paolo's prior to meeting and marrying my husband Steve. I probably had my first dinner here in 1992. However, when Steve and I married and bought a house just a mile or so from Paolo's that is when our story began. We came almost weekly for date night....until we had our first baby. We were told by a beloved server -- yea, you won't be coming weekly anymore. Well we brought our oldest in for dinner when she was just 3 days old -- and having her birthday dinner is a tradition to this day (she turned 21 in January) We celebrated graduations, birthdays and anniversaries with you for decades now. I have parents in AZ and Florida and they insist on at least one meal at Paolo’s every time they are in town. we have been billeting Thunderbirds hockey players for 12 years -- and have been known to bring your corn chowder all the way to Toronto to bring a smile to one of our players. When they are with us it is always a favorite night when we go to Paolo’s -- when they go away trips back require a dinner ay Paolo's. We don't come weekly, but we come often and have never once been disappointed! Thank you and Happy Anniversary!! - Dee K.

I've only lived in Maple Valley for a little over five years and I didn't find you right away, either. Yet, one visit was all it took to make me a fan. I'm fond of pasta with artichokes, good salads, and bread pudding; all of which I've found at Paolo's. I even come there alone from time to time and sit at the counter and watch the activity in the kitchen. I've brought friends, colleagues, and family members to Paolo's because I know they will enjoy the food, the service, and the casual atmosphere. Keep Doing What You're Doing! - Ken M.

Paolo’s has been our Family go-to restaurant for special occasions for over two decades. Our daughter moved to the east coast first to attend medical school and now is a resident doctor out there. Every time we go to Paolo’s we text her a picture of our dinners. She always responds that she is jealous and wishes she was there too! Delicious Meals cooked from scratch, served piping hot by staff who treat you like family! Looking forward to another decade at the finest restaurant in all of Kent!

- Dave & Deb H.
