“We go to the Paddock on a monthly or every other month basis. We love the food-delicious and never disappoints. You can't beat the prices.
“Hi Colleen,
I just wanted to thank you and Michael for the wonderful meal we had on Friday night. Thank you also for the delicious shrimp and garlic bread (on the house)....you didn't have to do that! We will definitely be back for more good food.

For those with discerning taste, yearning for great atmosphere and superior service try The Paddock Restaurant. Their variety of pizza's whether eat-in or TAKE OUT are terrific. If you add the quality of great adult beverages and absolutely friendly service you have hit a home run out of the park ! The Colonel . . . .” Yelp.com 9/27/2011 “LOVE the place! The food is great, portions are generous and the price is right. The service was a bit slow last time I was there, but it was worth the wait! Can't wait to go back!” Yelp.com 9/27/2011 Ken H. “Love this place! Every time I come out from Cali to visit friends/relatives, we come here. The pizza is great (reminds me of Amici's, a pizzeria here in the S.F. Bay Area owned by a Boston transplant!), but don't miss any of the Portuguese specials on the menu. Very good w/ fresh ingredients and just the right amount of spice! Really friendly staff and comfortable throw-back atmosphere. Nothing generic about this place! Makes for a fun evening out with friends.” Yelp.com 5/25/2011 Reviewed by No R. Ordered delivery, the food arrived hot and crisp. It looked wonderful and tasted the same. Really nice fried calimari esp. - a little greasy, sure - duh, it's fried. That's okay every now and then! Tasted fresh, big pieces. The sauce was maybe a touch anemic but that's okay too - again, tasted fresh! The mixed green salad looks lovely, and comes with more than greens, like olives and tomatoes (good olives, good tomatoes) - a small roll might have been a nice accompaniment but nothing to take points off for.

The chicken and broccoli alfredo is my favorite dish and my second favorite is the steak tips. I have experienced the Paddock old and new; and the new owners have really turned this restaurant around. Betty B., Worcester, MA Yelp.com 4/18/2010 “We have visited the Paddock a few times for dinner and always have had a wonderful meal. My husband loves Seafood and enjoyed every bite and I on the other hand enjoyed every bite of my steak tips and veggies. We live on the North Shore and wished they would move their restaurant closer to us!” Cindy M., Andover, MA Yelp.com 4/18/2010 “Came here a few weeks ago, had delicious food and wonderful service. The pasta was plentiful and the people there were nice. Reminds me of small Italian restaurants from back home in CA. Also a great place to study on the weekdays (they offer free wifi!).” Kevin B., Somerville, MA Yelp.com 4/10/2010 “What a wonderful, genuine place to eat and drink! In an era of trendy nonsense and hipster chic, it's great to find a place where real people make real food that tastes great and is affordable. Jason K., Somerville, MA Yelp.com 4/8/2010 “My favorite entree is the mussels -- perfectly cooked and flavorful! Plus the owners are really nice people to know.” Jackie B., Norton, MA Yelp.com 4/7/2010 “The Paddock is a great Family Restaurant~ Great friendly staff Virginia D., Wakefield, MA Karson & Kennedy—Mix 104.1

“The Paddock is on our speed-dial. We order their pizza for delivery once a week. The pizza is consistently good, arrives fast and hot. Dining in the establishment leaves a lot to be desired. They have a rather paltry beer selection, but an awesome bartender, who keeps the frosted mugs a-comin. Everytime I have ordered something crazy, like... say an antipasto salad I have been disappointed.

“The Paddock has a very pleasant ambiance where you feel more like family than a customer. The staff will go out of their way to accomodate you and make sure you are happy. Their prices are VERY reasonable, especially considering the market that this is in, and the food is delicious!”
Yelp.com 12/23/2009 Suhila N. Malden, MA
“This restaurant is a wonderful surprise tucked away in Somerville. The food is great, the pizza is some of the best around. It has a bartender that makes the best martinis in the Boston area, a very pleasant surprise in this cozy little place! The staff and owners are so nice, so friendly and welcoming, they make it all around the best little neighborhood restaurant you want to be a regular at! I highly recommend the Paddock! We went once and never stopped”

“I love the Paddock! Why - some may ask? The people are wonderful, the martinis are the best in town...........best in Boston as a matter of fact! Louie is hands down the best bartender around!! Colleen and Michael DaCova make you feel as welcome as a member of the family.

Hi Colleen The food was a big hit. Thanks see you next year. Happy Holidays to you and Micheal. Tom Senesi November 29 at 9:48pm Came in Sunday with a group and good to see new ownership, pizza was great and great service! Keep it up

This might be the best value for an incredible meal anywhere in/near Boston. Absolutely perfect for a date; two entrees and wine (the Portuguese Casala Garcia is phenomenal) come in around $50, and the entrees are unbeatable. The specials are ridiculously good - nobody can do steak quite like Michael Dacova, cooked to order to perfection with sauces that are untouchable. I have never been disappointed with anything I've had, from the unbelievably tasty pizza, perfectly sauce/cheese proportioned, to chicken, pasta, steak...you name it. MA Yelp.com 10/30/09
This might be the most underrated chef in all of Boston. Michael Dacova just served us up the most delicious meal, with a bottle of wine, for under 50 bucks, two people. Boston, MA
Yelp.com 10/1/09
Very friendly staff, they do have beer on draft now contrary to a previous review, and the pizza is delicious! As is everything i've tried on the menu, namely the 16oz sirloin steak w/ the peppercorn sauce for under 20 bucks, the chicken ziti and broccoli is also fantastic and a huge portion, for 10 bucks. Internet jukebox, great mixed drinks, and a colorful and friendly atmosphere make this place a great date destination, a great place to just sit and have some drinks, and on the weekends at night after 10pm you will find the dance floor hoppin'!

“I ate at the Paddock Restaurant with a couple of my friends last night. The bar was almost full and their were a couple of tables taken. Our waitress treated us very well and we appreciated that. I ordered shrimp scampi for myself and OH BOY! My dish looked so professional. I did not know where I should start because It looked so nice! After my friends and I were finished eating, we were stuffed! We were surprised at our bill though because it was not expensive. Food like that shouldn't be that cheap. When we were leaving, one of the owners thanked us for coming, with a smile on her face. I am DEFINITELY going back to the Paddock Restaurant, and I hope you are too. It is a great place to go. The prices are decent, which is great for people who are on a budget because of this economy today.”

“Visit the Paddock Again! We have been fans of the place for over twenty years, great thin crust pizza and steak tips and the coldest beer in town. That was 20+ years ago..well now under new management they made it better. In addition to a badly needed touching up and updated seating, the menu has been dramatically expanded. Still available are the same old favorites along with some interesting add ons to the fish and pasta options. During of the few times we have visited in the last several month, the Chief placed some interesting "home" grown receipes on the board. Still a place to go for a great dics (pizza) and cold beer, but we orded the broiled seafood platter and sauted chicked with pasta with fresh veggies all in heaping portions. Literally the plates are twice the size they use to be and you'll be bringing it home a meal for the next day. Don't be fooled by the spacious dining room with some empty seats, as mentioned in a previous review...no different than any other restaurant in this economy. The Paddock is worth a try AGAIN, and for the first time too!”

Michael and Coleen: Both you and the staff has always treated us extremely well. You’re food is exceptional; I can’t imagine dining out any where else. The prices are extremely reasonable, which I would think cannot be duplicated in other restaurants of this caliber. Michael is an exceptional chef and truly aims to please one’s taste. I hope that the word gets around the area that the Paddock’s is a great place to dine. I have had all my family functions, wedding anniversary etc; in you’re main dining room and have never been disappointed. I do hope that more people will frequent the restaurant and share the enjoyment that my family and me have come to expect. Jim
----Original Message----- Colleen and Michael – OK – one of my all-time favorite dishes is Seafood Fra Diablo -- but I’ve never had a plate as delicious as the one you sent me home with last night – WOW – is that always on the menu? – Because if it is – I know what I’m ordering when I come back with my wife. Thank you both for your gracious hospitality – I hope you’ll like the piece when it’s finished and I will definitely spread the word that The Paddock is not to be missed.Thanks again,Barry

“I was supremely disappointed by this place because I have heard from everyone that its amazing. The pizza was greasy and was falling apart when I tried to eat it. I felt like I was 10lbs heavier after eating just one slice. I will not be returning”

“If you're in the area, this place is worth checking out, not so much for the food but for the throwback appeal. Think nailed red vinyl upholstered wooden seats. Service is friendly.

“Neighborhood Italian-American that won't make you forget real Italian food but is a useful, local alternative to casual dining chain outlets.

“This restaurant is a staple in the Winter Hill area and has been since the 1960's. Long before Somerville's gentrification era, this restaurant was a popular bar and dining spot for the blue collar residents in the area.
