Paoli's Italian Country Kitchen

Our first time here, to celebrate my sister in law's birthday, and it did not disappoint. Our server was excellent and the food even better. We had Hawaiian pizza, pepperoni pizza, lasagna, fettuccini alfredo, mozzarella sticks and garlic bread. The pizza is Chicago deep dish and oh my gosh so good. It says the drinks are not refillable, when you order one, you'll understand why. They're huge, almost as tall as compared to my 16 year old son's forearm. If you're in the area, find your way here and bring your appetite, you won't be disappointed.

I have been here a couple of times and it has been good both times the service was not that good today don't know if the waitress was how to make because she was tired or what but other than that the food was great. The pizza is delicious I love that light crispy crust. Yummy...

I've been to Paoli's twice now, and it remains my favorite place to eat in Big Bear. I've tried about a dozen menu items and they were each fantastic! The fried calamari is spectacular! I highly recommend the ravioli with meat sauce; it is probably my favorite dish.
On top of the great food, service has been outstanding at both visits!

Enjoyed our dinner, decent environment - it's not quite as much of a crazy mad house as many restaurants in the village.

Unfortunately no vegan options besides salad, it seems that all of the pasta and bread are made with eggs.

Given the choice between a stressful long wait at Saucy Mama's or here... I would choose here, unless you are a vegan.

Shorter wait with equally good food!

Out of all the local restaurants in Big Bear I think this one is the best. The menu is excellent and the expectations of the quality of the food is 5 star. I like where its located because it's set back towards the forest and easier for parking, a breathing room. The service is always professional, friendly and efficient. Best Italian food in town!
