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.

Very special Italian eatery. We used to go to a different location a few years ago and came back last week. It was as tasty as we remembered it.

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.

Great food, if a bit on the pricy side. Ordering takeout is always a great option from Paola's! The bread is sometimes stale, so if you're not there in person you may want to get some of your own to go with your dinner.

They do not have brunch, it's just a dinner menu for brunch. Google maps and the Internet have this wrong.
Their restaurant on Madison is one of my favorite Italian in NYC, the Host at the one on lex was rude though to us while we were with our kids.
Avoid the Lexington one, go to Madison location and remember, no brunch!!
