Café Paradisio.

Tucked into a cozy, art-filled space, Café Paradisio balances the refinement of fine dining with the warmth of a neighborhood haunt. Chef Mike Hallead leads a scratch kitchen where the menu shifts with the seasons, blending American staples with global influences. While the house-made sauces and velvety gelatos are permanent draws, the kitchen is perhaps best known for its rigorous approach to gluten-free safety—a priority driven by the owners' personal experience. The service is personalized, often allowing guests to request bespoke creations tailored to their preferences. Beyond the nightly service, the restaurant functions as a culinary boutique where patrons can order jars of bacon jam or whole cheesecakes. It remains a reliable choice for Redding locals seeking innovative flavors and a safe, inclusive environment for sensitive palates.
