out of 5 starsVery good by Barbara P on 12/11/2008 via Insider Pages
Ate here on a business trip and and can't wait to go back. Great food and wine. Just like many places on the upper east side, great food and service. One to try.
Great Family Italian by Millie G on 12/4/2008 via Insider Pages
My family has been coming here for years and we always have a pleasant experience. The food is very good with a mix of old favorites and new dishes. The desserts are great! Paola and her family run the restaurant and will always stop to…
well done by Johvanny on 6/30/2008 via Citysearch
First, make a reservation (sometimes they are very full) . THe let the very good service and fatntastic food take you in this beautiful experience
Excellent food by Gattopardo on 6/1/2008 via Citysearch
Paola's was a very welcome surprise. We usually go downtown for dinner but we wanted something close on the UES and booked last minute. The decor is a little tacky (fake luxury in earthy tones), the service a little gruff (east europeans…
Wasn't impressed by Iris W on 5/25/2008 via Insider Pages
Paola's was another restaurant I scouted out for an event I was planning. I had trouble finding it and was not impressed by the exterior or the interior. Parking wasn't plentiful and the staff was not friendly at all.
The Upper East Side's best-kept Italian secret. by Contributor on 12/14/2006 via Citysearch
The Scene
Paola's is a trattoria in the classic sense: a family-operated spot that has a rustic feel and is intimately linked to its surroundings. This is the sort of place where regulars invent frequent reasons to come, though…New Location by tbrax on 10/13/2006 via Citysearch
Paola's has moved to 92nd and Madison. The new space isn't as nice as the old one; it isn't as intimate and it is significantly louder. The food is still good, but the atmosphere has changed a lot. Paola's remains a great neighborhood…
good time by ankusharma on 9/23/2006 via Citysearch
Since i am Indian i did not know of any good places for Italian food, but my italian buddies took me here and i had a blast. awsome service love the food. 9/10
Stay Away--Mediocre Food, Nasty Service by keesh on 8/13/2006 via Citysearch
I called to make a reservation, asked if they had a garden and they said yes. The "garden" turned out to be the noisy sidewalk. The staff was aloof, no...make that snotty and the food was quite mediocre. For better (and less expensive)…
Outstanding by casey85281 on 4/27/2006 via Citysearch
I went to Paola's for dinner last weekend with a friend. We both knew very little about the restaurant going in, so it was basically an experiment - and we enjoyed a truly exceptional meal. The front dining room was cozy and easy to have…
THE PERFECT UPPER EAST SIDE TRATTORIA by jbarie on 11/27/2005 via Citysearch
WE ARRIVED AT 6:OOPM SAT NITE. AND WERE PROMPTLY SEATED IN THE COMFORTABLE ,COZY BACK ROOM. WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH THE ITALIAN WINE LIST &HAD A WONDERFUL SANGIOVESE RED FOR $35. THE 1/2 ORDER PRIMI PASTA DISHES "BLEW" US AWAY..TRY THE…
Huge Disappointment by xpuhlode on 2/23/2005 via Citysearch
If you enjoy eye rolling from the waiter, spending tons of money to have horrendous service, and getting average food for your money, then you've found your restaurant. First, I went on Valentine's Day and waiters were running around like…
TERRIBLE service... by karmacoma123 on 2/15/2005 via Citysearch
I don't think I have received worse service anywhere else. First, it took around 45 minutes for our appetizers to arrive, and this was after we asked them to check with the kitchen why our appetizers (a salad and mussels) were taking so…
Pretty Good by morello on 2/15/2005 via Citysearch
I thought the food was very good but romantic I wouldnt say that the tables are basically on top of each other I could barley move. The food is very good though and so was the service.
GREAT FOOD, GREAT PLACE by c7500 on 8/30/2004 via Citysearch
HAD DINNER THERE RECENTLY WITH SOME FRIENDS, THE MENU HAS CHANGED SOMEWHAT, BUT THE FOOD IS JUST AS GREAT AS EVER. LOTS OF NEW ITEMS TO TRY AND ENJOY. LOVED THE SKIRT STEAK WITH THE BROCCOLI RABE AND THE PORK CHOP SPECIAL. WE WILL BE…
Best Italian on the UES by piglet06 on 6/1/2004 via Citysearch
Great homemade italian food just like at Grandma's on Sundays. Try to be seated in the cute little back room for those romantic nights. The papardelle with duck ragout is amazing. The service isn't overly friendly but they get the job done.
Unimpressed by dwinkl on 1/16/2004 via Citysearch
Although the food was quite tasty, I cannot understand why anyone would pay so much for the uninspiring food with so little atmosphere. Unless you are deemed worthy enough to dine in the tiny "wine celler" room, you are left to sit in the…
AWESOME!! by johngringeri on 1/30/2003 via Citysearch
I was there with a group of ten people and we had the most incredible meal. We spent the entire evening swapping bites of our food and talking about how great everything was. It was without question an awesome dining experience in a…
Good Food, Shabby Service by pippa82 on 6/12/2002 via Citysearch
I went to this restaurant a while ago with some friends. The food was good, not extraordinary, but good none the less. The waiter we had wasn't the best, in fact, he was kind of rude when we weren't sure what type of wine we wanted to…
