Altro Paradiso

“if all else fails, altro paradiso. a gem of a restaurant with a reliable menu that you can always get into. the fennel salad is a must as is their homemade ice cream.”

“Kate & Jacqueline have poured a considerable amount of money into Altro Paradiso over the years. Genuinely emotional remembering the bottarga pasta, the warm bread, the ricotta, the olive oil. A recurring favorite and still part of the New York dining rotation.”

“Finding good Cacio e Pepe is a challenge outside of Italy. I’ve had some truly aweful ones at places I can’t even remember the name of. Altro is really good and really consistent. It’s hard to get anything else on the menu when you know the Cacio is good. It’s near my office and a consistently good after work drinks spot when you and the coworkers want to feel fancy. It’s a hot spot but also well established enough at this point that it isn’t impossible to get a table.”
