Paolo’s on 54

Paolo’s on 54 is an Italian restaurant and bar on Keybridge Drive in Morrisville, cooking the traditional dishes most people already have a favorite among. Everything is prepared on the premises, following traditional recipes. It has the feel of a neighborhood Italian place where the same dishes are done properly.

Pizzas are hand thrown from dough the kitchen makes itself, and the bar side pours cocktails and wine for anyone stopping in without a table booked. Lunch and dinner both run a full menu, and the restaurant sums up what it offers as a taste of Italy.

What to know
