The food is always the best, and the staff takes care of their customers. We have been dining at Paoletti's since the mid 1980's......we schedule time to have a meal or two everytime while we are in Highlands. And, we always recomend it to our friends. In this little sleeply town in the mountains, it is hard to believe you... more

My wife and I had heard great things about Ristorante Paoletti, so our expectations were rather high. It's fair to say we weren't disappointed. This meal ranks very high on our list of best dining experiences ever. The menu is very robust and changes daily. We enjoyed the Elk Chops and Eggplant Lasagna. The wine list was daunting but an... more

We would recommend Paoletti's to any one that is looking for really good food and service. The responsiveness of the waitress and the superb food and wine made our dining expereince one to remember. They even helped celebrate our anniversary with a complimentary desert. Thanks so much. more

Paoletti's is our favorite Highlands restaurant for dinner. We always start out with the escargot (the best you can find anywhere other than Paris). The owner and staff are always very friendly and offer excellent service. We have been dining there for close to 20 years and never had a bad experience. It is a little pricey; however, in the... more

My frends and I travel to Highlands, NC once a year in the Fall for a weekend choral retreat and always arrive early enough to enjoy dinner at Paoletti's. Our tradition of dining at Paoletti's is in it's fourth year and our group has now expanded to eight persons - and growing. In a small town that is somewhat limited... more

Outstanding meal but the people at the next table were very loud. Because of this, the manager gave us a free dessert which was wonderful. Had the loud folks not been there, the atomsphere would have been excellent also. more

Paoletti's is a bit pricey, especially on the drinks, but the food, atmosphere and service made it exceptional! My husband had the filet and swears it was the best ever, I had the tomato/mozzarella caprese salad and the stone crabs, flown in fresh during season, and they were excellent. I had been in Clearwater the weekend before, opening season for... more

Awesome!

In the company of my beautiful girlfriend Renee, a ham sandwich would be "awesome", but I must say, we both enjoyed Paoletti thoroughly. We shared the grilled scallops entree and the crusted sea bass. Both were excellent. We loved the "glass and a half" portion of wine...it was just enough. Our waiter, Eric, was professional, attentative and friendly. The flan... more
