Ristorante Paradiso is a long time Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Kirkland. I have…read morebeen coming here for as long as I can remember (20 to 30 years maybe, so long that I didn't realize I never wrote a review). This restaurant has been well received for both business dinners and personal dinners. They are old school charming Italian (not to be confused with American Italian). The service is often warm and charming. The restaurant is painted with warm tones and artworks of villas. Business partners from foreign countries often find this restaurant adorable. The menu has some hits-and-misses, but we have settled on our favorites by now. My hubby orders their lasagna as his favorite; he often orders it early since it's a longer time to cook. I recently visited with girlfriends, so extra desserts are involved. Lol. The Food: Salmone Piccata, $32 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Fresh salmon filet, capers, lemon, garlic, white wine sauce This is my standing order - a good size piece of salmon rests on veggies with a wonderful wine sauce. It's light, it's a repeatable dish, and I don't feel guilty afterwards. Tartufo Classico - 4.5 Stars Menu: Chocolate Gelato, zabaglione cream center, covered with crushed caramelized hazelnuts and cocoa powder Tiramisu - 4 Stars Menu: Ladyfinger biscuits, espresso coffee, mascarpone cheese, and whipped cream Curse my sweet tooth friend who convinced us to order not one but two desserts to share. The tartufo is more unique, and somewhat reminds me of a much better Ferrero Rocher. I particularly like the cool gelato. The tiramisu is of course the classic. If I am sharing with hubby, the tartufo is the easy win.

My wife and I went for a lunch date for the first time in a while. Our 3rd baby had his first day…read morein daycare, so we decided to plan for lunch during Seattle Restaurant Week. My wife had never been here, and for me it had been over 10 years, so we were looking forward to it. Unfortunately, it turned out to be disappointing. On the positive side, the bread was good, the burrata appetizer was tasty, and my Marsala chicken wasn't too bad. However, my wife's Linguine Tutta Mare was not good at all. The mussels tasted completely off and had a bad smell. I tried them myself and they were fishy, not how mussels are supposed to taste. We told our waiter, and he kind of brushed it off, saying they get their seafood in daily and that mussels can sometimes be "that way." He gave no apology and no real acknowledgment to the issue, but just cleared our plates and walked away. To top it all off, they were out of the Panna Cotta, which was the dessert I'd been looking forward to. The other options didn't appeal to us as much, but we settled for them anyway. Afterwards, we still felt a little hungry. For our first lunch date in a while, this was a real letdown. Definitely not worth $35 per person.

French fries were cold and there was no seasoning. Took longer to get my food than what I was originally estimated which makes me wonder if that contributed to the food being cold.

The menu is different every week, ever-changing, with a flooding of amazing flavors and spice. I now look forward to Mondays...especially the evenings! Rajani will even consider making a special dish just for you; ...if you twist her arm hard enough! She made me an "Archard Legumes" -Pickle vegetable salad (1); a favorite dish from my home country Mauritius. She has never made it before and, no, it was nonperfect; but very very close! Enough to whisk me down the memory lane..., when I was a young boy, eating "Archard Legumes" sandwiched in hot crusty buttered French Bread, with family and friends on the beach, next to the twinkling turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, the warm tropical breeze and the sounds of the surf... "Oh La La!!!". How I miss that! It must have been how the Cartoon critic Anton Ego felt in "Ratatouille" (2) . I was very impressed by Rajani's skills at recreating dishes; just from a few instructions. Her mastery at juggling the flavors and spices became pretty obvious. I am sure this dish will be popular among the other customers; if she decides to make it available. Maybe if we all twist her arm just a little bit...perhaps. Her treat sweets just top it all off, just right. I now don't have to grocery shop because I no longer have to cook and I know I am now eating healthy. I can now appreciate what Sadguru said to Master Chef Ramsey after Ramsey was so delighted by the healthy tasty vegetarian food made at Sadgurus ashram; that if he (Ramsey) eats well prepared vegetarian food daily, just for a few days, he will never want to eat meat again.
