a real restaurant

by jo_se

Nicola Paone's restaurant is a gem in this city. Sure there are many great places to eat in NY but this is a fine dining EXPERIENCE with some of the best Italian food I've had, outside my grandmothers basement...Grab some friends or a gorgeous girl, get dressed (up) and plan to spend a few hours enjoying some long form dining...

• Pros: Fine Dining, Excellent Menu
• Cons: none.

One of a Kind

by nevedovsky

I discovered this restaurant about nine months ago, and have been back twice since then. The atmosphere is very elegant and has a very relaxed and old world feel to it. Features include a lovely waterfall, which adds to the serenity of the place.

The food is superb, and I am especially fond of the veal. The desserts are wonderful too. Try either the chocolate mousse or Italian cheesecake. Add a superb wine list and the fact that the staff knows how to let one relax and enjoy a meal, and the result is an amazing dining experience that far too few New Yorkers know about. Give it a try. You will not regret it.

• Pros: Elegant atmosphere, Wonderful food, Great wine list

The Best

by ponkle

We just love going here when we have time to sit and have a leisurely dinner. It's not one of those eat quick so we can seat someone else. It's one of those places where you sit and have a drink before you even get the menu. Great wine list and marvelous food. The shrimp oreganata was excellent as well as the scampi and also the veal dishes. Do not miss the homemade desserts Ummm.

• Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service
• Cons: Must have a long time
