Located on a bright downtown corner, Altro Paradiso serves chef-owner Ignacio Mattos’ light, satisfying takes on Italian cuisine: a beloved fennel salad with provolone cheese, arancini dipped in Calabrian chili oil, and house-made candele cacio e pepe, to name but a few classics. Though Altro frequently ranks among the best places to eat in New York City, it’s a pretty laid-back place that tends to attract quite a few regulars from the neighborhood.
Modern takes on traditional Italian cooking in an airy, wood-accented space with a marble bar.

Went here with friends and cute atmosphere. Service was nice and quick… and spacious location. Went with a friend— enjoyed fennel salad (dressing was amazing) as well as some pasta dishes ( had the staple carbonara). Enjoyed wine as well as tiramisu which was so so good. Cute classic Italian spot and really good quality- really recommend

We had a mixed experience here with the food, however the service was good.
We started with the finocchio fennel salad which was the best thing I ate all day, the dressing was superb. The arancini was crunchy with good flavor but it was served cold, which we didn’t like. Chicken Milanese parmesan was huge and tasty enough. Pasta cacio e pepe was decent.
The biggest disappointment was the dessert. The pear galette had a super salty crust that was challenging to eat, perhaps it should have been an appetizer. The meringue-ata cake had a weird texture and was basically inedible. It felt like biting into butter, not in a good way.
I am glad I tried the restaurant but don’t think I will go back.

This restaurant has a beautiful interior and the service is good, but I wasn’t impressed with the food. The antipasti mussels were just okay, the swordfish was too salty, and the spaghetti pomodoro was underwhelming. Overall, the food felt below average compared to the ambiance.

Altro Paradiso checks all the boxes. Superb food, attentive but never intrusive friendly service, warm atmosphere, inventive delicious cocktails, and approachable and thoughtful wine list. The sommelier was also warm and friendly and is clearly passionate as well as knowledgeable about wine and he took his time to explain the history of each wine he recommended and what makes it so special and how it pairs with each plate (many of which we have not seen anywhere else). The Caio e Pepe is the best we have ever had and beats any version of this dish we have had in Rome. How they prepare a basically three-ingredient dish so beautifully is nothing short of magic. The same applies to the other dishes on the menu that we have tried. Simple, fresh ingredients that Italy is famous for, prepared beautifully with just the right balance to enhance the flavors both individually and as a whole. Altro Paradiso makes the whole experience seem effortless, and we always leave feeling happy and taken care of, looking forward to our next visit. Delizioso!

Excellent food and drinks! I had the rotolo and a spritz rosa. So good. Staff is very kind and attentive without being too crowding. The restaurant is clean and pleasant to be in. Had a wonderful time here with my friends, next time I’m in the city I’ll be sure to come back!

I took my family here as an end cap to a European vacation. We started with bubbles, a delicious mocktail, and arancini. We followed with incredible pastas,chicken, beans and salads. We had an Olympic finish with incredible desserts and Amaro. It was a perfect experience from start to finish. The service was flawless-super caring and charming, and the food was both simple and dazzling. This place is perfect for an easy dinner, a special occasion, business or pleasure, solo or in lots of wonderful company. Not pictured is the family asleep in the cab on the ride home because they were so relaxed.

Food is really bland. No good presentation or good flavor. Pretty expensive for what they offer… spent $100+ per person but walked out disappointed. Table spacing is really tight that it gets overly crowded and loud too.

We had guests with us, and the restaurant was really disappointing. The cocktails were tiny, the portions were small, and the food had almost no flavor. The prices didn’t match the quality or portion sizes at all.
The chicken was completely tasteless(basically boiled with a ton of salt and then deep-fried!!), the meat in the pasta was also strange and had a strong, unpleasant smell.

I booked a reservation for one by calling ahead and was explicitly told a table was available. When I arrived, I was informed that no table had been reserved for me and that I would need to wait “a good while,” with no time estimate provided.
After leaving and returning about 20 minutes later, I was eventually seated, but the experience never recovered. Service was inattentive throughout; I had to repeatedly flag down a waiter just to ask basic questions.
The menu is also extremely limited for vegetarians. None of the mains were suitable, and only one appetizer met dietary requirements.
While the cacio e pepe was genuinely good, that alone does not compensate for a disorganized reservation process and poor service.
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone dining alone, vegetarians, or anyone who expects attentive, quality service with their meal. At most, solo diners should expect to be directed to the bar rather than accommodated with a proper table.
