Paola's RestaurantGreat Italian FoodThis is a great neighbor Restrarent that serves excellent Italian food.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistently WonderfulFor a great Italian meal you know will be wonderful, Paola's is the place to go. Staff is informed and excellent.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent 92Y pre-concert dinnerWe were seated immediately, even though the restaurant was surprisingly crowded. Service was prompt, courteous and very professional. A full page of specials were printed on a menu insert. Each couple shared a salad - a Caesar and a Beet with goat cheese. The tangerine slices were a nice touch, but at $12, you'd think they'd splurge and put a full slice of goat cheese on plate to enhance the nice presentation.The entres were prepared perfectly - salmon, veal piccata and a duck breast with apricots and risotto. Everyone complimented preparation and taste. The apple turnover (a bit mushy in center and not a crispy crust) was disappointing. The coffees were strong & aromatic. In all, a very enjoyable dinner. Would definitely return.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful restaurantWe love Paola's and go there for special occasions, just for a wonderful dinner, or to relax and eat. This was our anniversary dinner.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMHaving fun on the Upper East Side.My husband and I were directed to Paola's by friends who live nearby and often dine here. It was a highly energetic restaurant easily locatable by its corner location. Our food, both of us dined on pasta and salad, was delicious. The flavoring and temperature was just right. I will recommend to my friends who live just a bit nearer downtown! Thank you Paola and Stefano!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMPer usual, the food was deliciousPer usual, the food was delicious and the service was great.

The food is always well prepared and the special dishes-of-the-day are interesting. The ingredients are fresh and the cooking imaginative, but there are always traditional dishes to choose from. They are very accomodating for special requests and always have whole-wheat pastas available--not so easy to find.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding in every wayWe had a wonderful time!
