About Us
Ristorante Paradiso is an eclectic Italian restaurant just about a mile west of the Albany capitol buildings. Parking is never a problem. The menu is filled with delicious choices, but don't decide on your entree until you hear about the specials which change daily. Originally the famous Albany landmark, The Boulevard Cafeteria, Paradiso was used for the filming of the bar scenes in the film, "Ironweed", starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep, based on the book by Albany native, William Kennedy. Boulevard Cafeteria Iron Weed .The restaurant is still a gathering place for Kennedy, as well as many other members of the New York State Writers Institute. After the restoration and filming, owner Matt Daskalakis, manager Tom Scarff, and Don Butler, one of the Capital District's top chefs, turned this beautifully designed restaurant into one of the finest dining establishments in Albany
