A very nice restaurant, an extremely comfortable environment, and an enchanting aroma at the front door; this restaurant is an oasis in Payson. We stumbled upon this establishment accidentally on our way back from Strawberry one weekend. It was a pleasure to just sit there and relax.

There is a beautiful setting on the patio for outdoor dining, in cooler temperatures of course. And the entire building resembles a log cabin. Even the restrooms are some of the cleanest and best decorated I’ve see.

In contrast, however, the food was moderate, and the service wasn’t the most friendly. The overall experience was enjoyable.

Cucina Paradiso is located at 512 N. Beeline Hwy in Payson.
