Paolo’s Caribbean Fusion — Restaurant in Saugus

My wife and I wanted to try someplace new for our Friday night out. From the time we stepped in the entrance our evening out just kept getting better. Our first impression was what a cozy place to have dinner. The staff immediately acknowledged us and sat us promptly. As soon as we sat down our waitress introduced herself (Nicole) and asked if it was our first time to Paolios which it was. She was polite and informative about the drink and meal menus and she enthusiastically wanted us to enjoy our first visit. Nice way to start on evening out. (Great Server from the start )

We started with a couple drinks from the bar. My wife ordered wine and I ordered Paulos Manhattan. Ultimately we had 2 of each as the evening progressed.

The warm olive plate was plentiful and delicious. Actually easily enough for four people as well the Bread and oil were well paired.

I ordered from the specials menu (Lasagna Bolinaise) and my wife ordered chicken malanaise. The dinners were served fresh and hot and placed on the plates neatly and made a good presentation.

Our dinners were delicious and portions were plenty without us feeling like we had to stuff ourselves to finish.

We love 50 seat small places to dine like Paolos as it feels like every plate is made special for us and...

It took me about 7 minutes off Rt 1. I actually almost turned around as I thought I was going to end up in some tiny restaurant in some random neighborhood. But boy am I glad I decided to give it a try. Their eggplant app is literally the best I’ve had. Caesar was awesome. Chicken and broccoli, sooo good. They were great and substituted rice for spinach. Bread and oil when I sat down was devoured almost immediately. Everything was honestly so, so good.

They do have a limited liquor license at the moment, but was able to get my skinny marg just fine.

Highly recommend. Worth traveling a few minutes off the...
