Over the past 5 years or so Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have eaten at Paolo’s 3’s Company Italian Restaurant & Lounge something like 8-times (with last night being the most recent) and each and every time, I/we could’ve sworn that Henry Hill, Tommy DeVito and their buddies would be walking in at any minute! Great food, not exactly- Great service, not exactly, but we really enjoy this joint! Not sure as to the exact allure…but the 1950’s- 1960’s Italian gangster/Rat Pack décor-vibe-wait service, nightly “live oldies” music (Rat Pack, Doo Wop, Elvis, Darin), celebrity sightings like Jake “The Raging Bull LaMotta (I know, you thought he was dead!), separate dance floor, outdoor dining/smoking patio, separate bar area, decent enough food (think- your average “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint with surprisingly dynamite garlic bread and you’ll be on the right page) and service – make this joint a “one of a kind.”

Like I said 2 seconds ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats really enjoy Paolo’s 3’s Company. Just so we are straight with each other, if you’re into EDM (Electric Dance Music) Jeff Eats is kinda-thinking (actually I know) that this joint ain’t gonna work for you! Now on the other-hand, if you’re looking for a Marty McFly type “outing”- I am telling you, you will really enjoy Paolo’s 3’s Company Italian Restaurant & Lounge!

Paolo’s 3’s Company is open Sunday-Thursday 4pm-10pm, Friday-Saturday 4pm-11pm.
