Paolo's

Paolo's is an Italian-American restaurant with a wood-fired kitchen, serving classics such as lasagna al forno, bucatini alfredo, chicken parmesan and thin Roman-style pizza with chopped clams. The menu also includes scampi with shrimp, house-made meatballs and a Margherita pizza, along with starters and salads. The concept is built around loud, lively dining where plates are passed and tables linger.

The dining room, bar and lounge seat around 70 guests, with several distinct areas for a quiet dinner, a drink or a longer night out. Paolo's is the sister restaurant to Dutchman's, down the hall, and it is at 14 Main Street in Brunswick. Gift cards are available through the website.
