Paolo’s is a creative, 50-seat neighborhood kitchen on a mission: Serve food so good, you’d marry it. Our Mediterranean menu is sprinkled with New England classics reflecting chef Paul Delios’ 40-year career, and while artisanal pizza and pasta are our passions, we’re SO much more! From time-tested faves like our Bolognese (from the ORIGINAL Paolo’s in Charlestown, Mass., which Paul ran in the the early 2000s) to irresistible focaccia, to our divine bread pudding, to our full catering menu with something for everyone, we serve inspired food…at our place or yours.

We had been meaning to try this place. We were more than surprised by how great it was. The drinks were tasty the pizza was above average. My wife’s chicken parm was phenomenal and my wagyu burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of them. It’s in a convenient location took a star off of atmosphere because it’s in a shopping plaza. But overall I highly recommend and it’s really appreciated to have top notch place in Saugus.

Food was so so good. Pasta dishes had flavor and the pizza you can tell everything is fresh. Going back for the 3rd time in a month tomorrow!

I fondly remembered the Paolo’s that was in Charlestown. I was pleasantly surprised to learn it was reopening years later and so close to where I now live. I tried it this week with a friend and *loved* it. The intimate space is chic and stylish, the warm olives and meatballs were outstanding and my friend very much enjoyed her salmon and polenta dish. The cocktail list is cheeky and creative and our server was super friendly and professional. I will definitely return to try other items from their well-rounded menu and think it will be a staple!

Amazing food, we just did takeout from here but next time will eat at the restaurant. Chicken and Broccoli was out of this world and so was the Margarita Pizza. So happy to have a great restaurant so close to home!

I had the BBQ Rib Special. The dish had 5 ribs as the meal. One rib had nearly no meat on it. The sauce on the ribs was ok at best.

Food and service excellent. I got the Nonna. It’s pasta ant meatballs and sausage in red sauce. My wife got the seafood Fra diavolo. Bothe we’re excellent. The sauce was like homemade. And everything was fresh. Waitress was great. It’s a little loud and tightly packed. We enjoyed socializing with nearby diners. But if you don’t mind that the food is worth it. Really
