Meet us where Italy is explored
If you are looking for an authentic Italian dinner with recipes from all over Italy, then you’ve found the place. Cucina Paradiso offers Italian specialties at a reasonable price in the Oak Park Business District.
For starters, share the Bacon-Wrapped Dates or the Baked Meatballs slow-cooked in a tomato and vodka cream sauce.
The Rigatoni Bolognese is a favorite pasta at Paradiso due to the homemade meat sauce, tomatoes, cream, and onion smothered in fresh mozzarella. The Chicken Pistachio is an entree to write home about with its pistachio breadcrumb crust and a creamy balsamic sauce with a touch of red pepper.
The Paradiso Pear Pizza is famous for its gorgonzola, pears, and caramelized red onions drizzled in balsamic syrup.
Pair it with a chianti from Tuscany, and don’t forget the Tiramisu for dessert!
Cucina Paradiso is open every day for dinner from 5pm to 9pm.
Don’t miss the “Half Better Mondays” at Paradiso when bottles of wine are half price! Tuesday is your night for pasta when it’s half-off the small plates at the bar.

Anthony Gambino opened Cucina Paradiso in 1995, bringing an authentic Italian restaurant to the heart of the Oak Park Business District. Back in 1995, there were few options for Italian in the area, and Gambino ensured the menu covered a wide range of Italian geography and heritage.
Today you can find more options for Italian in the area, but Paradiso’s authentic Italian dishes at a reasonable price are hard to beat!
Cucina Paradiso is located just steps from the Oak Park Stop on the CTA Green Line or less than a half-mile walk from the Oak Park Stop on the Union Pacific Metra. The restaurant is at 814 N.Boulevard, which is just a 20-minute drive west of downtown Chicago.
