About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Charming
Socarrat Paella Bar - Nolita is now accepting reservations for indoor and outdoor dining, weather permitting. In the case where we need to close outdoor seating due to inclement weather, we will contact you the day of your reservation.

Socarrat, the quintessence of the perfect paella and for which the restaurant is named, is the delectable, sensuous crust that forms on the bottom of the paella pan when the liquid is rendered and the rice reaches its peak of succulence. The menu, an authentic array of delicious dishes from the regions of Spain specializing in traditional tapas with an accent on paella that can be characterized as a true exploration for the palette.

Socarrat Nolita's ambiance denotes feelings of warmth, comfort, and hospitality. Building on its sister restaurant's identity as a small, intimate space comprised primarily of one large communal table, the restaurant also offers banquet, bar and table seating.

Live Flamenco performance every Tuesday, 7-10pm.

    I ate at their Chelsea restaurant 20 years ago. It was one of the best paellas I ever ate. I should have stuck with my memories. This time, I was really underwhelmed. The socarrat was more burnt than caramelized. I really didn’t taste the sofrito. The white sangroa was very goold though.

    One of the most delicious paellas I’ve ever had (maybe even better than some I’ve had in Spain!). Appetizers and drinks were amazing and the vibe was perfect!!

    Live flamenco was super authentic and the show is right besides your table as the place is not very big. Great food and friendly service. The prices are bit on the higher side, but worth the experience.

    Dear Mia, Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the live flamenco and found the experience authentic and memorable. It’s wonderful to hear the food and service also stood out.

    service was warm and attentative...only issue was the lamb shank was not tender and fall off the bone, they tried to remake it for me but lamb shanks need to be braised for a long time and this was not at that level...else the Paella is great, seafood is fresh, nice desserts!

    The food here was not impressive. Traditional paella is hard to find so we were excited to meet some friends here for dinner, but the dishes were bland. We got four tapas and two paellas and nothing stood out.
    Socarrat Paella Bar - NolitaResponded on May 5, 2025

At Socarrat, we take pride in delivering authentic Spanish flavors and it’s disappointing to hear that the dishes didn’t stand out during your visit. We truly value guest feedback and would always encourage you to let us know during your meal if something isn’t right — we’re more than happy to address it on the spot and do our best to turn the experience around. Your comments have been shared with our kitchen team as we continue to strive for excellence. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity to impress you in the future. Warm regards, Socarrat Management
