The Boston North End Caffe Paradiso is frequented by a mixture of local patrons and tourists. The main dinning room occupies the street level floor. The basement floor hosts a sprawling function room with an adjoining small bar. The white walls of the basement floor are decorated with Roman statutes, which gives it an air of a small town museum. Bright spotlights, hanging from a ceiling rail, illuminate the entire room and some focal points such as the statutes. The main sitting room contains a large display counter, which is stocked with a myriad of specialty items; ranging from elaborate sandwiches, succulent cakes, colorful salads, enticing cookies to fresh dessert-fruits. The upper part of the counter is festooned with a wide variety of Italian packaged coffees, cookies and other imported specialty items. Behind the counter lays a battery of appliances that produce the famed Caffe Paradiso espresso and other concocted warm and cold beverages. Behind the counter, is the alcoholic beverage area, bottles of all color, size and shape are illuminated with spot lights. The Boston North End Caffe Paradiso has a local neighborhood feel to it. With undivided attention, local patrons watch on Italian television sports programs such as soccer and rugby games, in a lively and convivial atmosphere. In contrast to this close-knit ambiance is the presence, here and there, of tourists consulting maps and other guides to the city while enjoying Caffe Paradiso's fare. At Caffe Paradiso, to welcome overseas tourists, flags from all nations hang on walls and many foreign currency denominations adorn the bar display.
