Paola's Osteria

Great service and italian food! The expresso martini was awesome! I have just appetizers but they were all delicious. Very authentic

The food was delicious - light, fresh, and well prepared. The atmosphere was comfortable and casual. The service was attentive and not annoying. Highly recommend.

Paola Osteria is a family style Italian restaurant. Food are supposed to be shared with family and friends. The salad with avocado, beet and greens are the best salad I had for quite a while. If you are there. You have to order this. You will be amazed by it. Pastas are great like made by grandma. Clams are so fresh and juicy. There is no wrong if you are in the area and like to have Italian Go to this restaurant and enjoy the your meal.

A friend and I popped in here for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised! The service was wonderful (wait staff attentive and helpful) and the restaurant was very quaint on the inside. Now onto the food; we had the eggplant Parmesan and the Tartufata pizza (mushrooms, freshly shaved Parmesan, shaved truffles) and both were excellent. Very light yet filling at the same time. The red sauce on the eggplant parm was excellent too. They had high chairs and were very accommodating to children as well. My ONLY qualm would be that they didn’t have any changing tables in their bathrooms for babies and no countertops either where you can put them down on.

Great spot for a date. Walk around central park, see a few of the Museums, afterwards or before go and get coffee from up the block its a really nice place with excellent staff and the food is nothing shy of superb.

Delicious bread and pasta dishes. We were lucky enough to get the table at the window. Wonderful service too!

So me and my girlfriend, Karolina were going to the candlelight series concert at heaven's church and we had the best time at paola's. We were treated like royalty by the managers Armando and Fabrizio. If you are around the upper East side doesn't matter the day, the time you must come to paola's Restaurant they are fantastic . If I could give them 10 stars, I would we will continue to support this beautiful little Italian gem on the upper side.

From the moment you open the door at Paola's Osteria you are greeted with such warmth. It sets the tone for the experience you are about to have at this family owned restaurant. I absolutely love pasta and have been blown away by the dishes. Seasoned to perfection, fresh ingredients and so yummy. I also applaud the way the artichokes were cooked and prepared. Any and everyone at Paola's are accommodating and kind. I clean my plate every time and I have smiles for days. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!
