When it comes to summer dining, incredible food and a beautiful view are an unbeatable combination. If you’re looking for an Italian restaurant that offers both, look no further than Groton’s favorite Italian eatery. Located on the edge of the Thames River, Paul’s Pasta Shop has been serving up homemade pasta and mouthwatering Italian food since 1988.

Their extensive menu includes an array of pasta dishes available for dining in or options you can take home. This Italian restaurant offers daily lunch specials that are known to entice a large crowd in the afternoon, and their welcoming dining room is the perfect place to enjoy a meal.

One of the best parts of Paul’s Pasta Shop is the outdoor dining area. The outdoor porch opened at the end of April and features beautiful views of the Thames River. It seats around 30 people, making it cozy and comfortable. It has a large awning that provides extra shade and protection from the wind or surprising weather changes. Customers can enjoy the view and the breeze as they watch ferries and trains pass by.

In fact, eating outside has a number of health benefits, just one of which is getting to enjoy delicious Italian food from Paul’s Pasta Shop in the sun. Sitting in the sunshine can give you a boost of vitamin D, and spending time outside is a natural mood enhancer.
