A real gem. I am very picky when it comes to Italian food having grown up in an Italian family.
You would think New York City is full of great Italian restaurants.
I have discovered that is not the case, until I ate at Paola’s restaurant. Paola’s delivers an authentic and delicious meal with a unique menu and accessible wine list. I also loved the simple but all home made deserts. Definitely my favorite Italian restaurant in all of New York.

I was not prepared for how amazing the food and experience would be.
We ordered a shared appetizer and two entrees and the waiter KNEW we were going to share and offered to bring them out one at a time. We had a wonderful meal and every item was prepared perfectly.
We had the meatballs, ravioli and pappardelle and all of it was literally perfect bite and texture.
Perfectly timed, perfectly prepared.
Can’t rave enough except to rue my lack of appetite for dessert <3

Paola’s is a fabulous upscale restaurant that recently relocated from Madison Avenue to Lexington Avenue.
Let me break down our most recent meal.
We started off with the warm mozzarella which is hands down the best in the city.
The portion is a bit small but the taste makes up for it.
We also started with the Arugula Salad which is always very good.
For main courses we ordered the salmon, branzino, the veal and the pesto which we got to share.
Both fish dishes were a relatively big portion and were very tasty.
The veal was small but tasted really great and so did the potatoes that came along with it.
Finally, the pesto was a pretty small portion, but very good.
For dessert, the cappuccino was just the right size however it could have been a little warmer.
We also got the tiramisu which was so so good.
Finally the biscottis were just the right thing to top off the fabulous meal.
Overall a great experience.
5 stars.
