Best Italian food in the South!. We had our first dinner at Paul's last night, after being told that Carabba's had an hour wait. Our son attended a party there and raved about the food. All 4 of us loved our food! Bread was delicious, ceasar salad was perfect and our meals were hot and fresh! Being from NY, we are particular about out Italian food and Paul's will be where we go from now on!

Mediocre at best. I think bread is a good up-front judge of the quality of a restaurant. Especially for an italian restaurant..when the bread arrives with your mean and it's 2 days old and stale that usually is a sign of the overall lack of quality.

Our two dishes were mediocre...bland, rather boring. Something we could have put together at home ourselves but with a heck of a lot more flavor. Maybe I was spoiled all those years living outside NYC but really this is just run of the mill italian food. The prices however, especially for Winston, would lead you to think the quality would be much higher. Overall a disappointment after reading some previous reviews.

BOGUS REVIEW by "hungrymeal". The "1-Star or Poor Review" indicated on this website is a duplicate of a bad review of another restaurant review (4 Way Restaurant on "winstonsalem.ohsohandy" webstie), which is FALSE, as well. Both of these restaurants are fine, reputable restaurants in Winston-Salem, and both have great service and wonderful food. Someone apparently has too much time of their hands. Probably more of this trash on other reviewer websites...

Delicious food, great service. This is delicious authentic Italian food. And the service is very good. However, Paul, the owner, is obviously not always in the best mood. He is only pleasant to "certain customers."

Best Italian Food this side of Chicago!. We've been eating at Paul's for well over 10 years now and have found it to be consistently superb - NEVER had a bad (or even fair) meal there. By now, we've sampled everything on the meno - all good. I've stopped trying eggplant anywhere else - or anyone else's red Italian sauces. His cognac sauce is to die for - and try the pumpkin gnocchi - served in a pumpkin, no less! We can't go often enough!

Best Italian in Town!. I was not all that excited when I pulled up to the little store located in a sort of strip mall. But once I got inside, I knew that I was in for a treat. I was greeted by Paul, speaking mostly Italian, and was quickly seated. The waitress was extremely helpful in recommending the lobster ravioli, which was one of the best Italian dishes I have ever had. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. Not much more than the Olive Garden, yet multiple times better food.
