“ “Altro Paradiso offers a refined Italian dining experience in SoHo, featuring fresh house-made pastas, seasonal dishes, and a sophisticated yet welcoming ambience. Highly recommended for both casual lunches and elegant dinners—reservations advised.” ”
“ Had a fantastic dinner at Altro Paradiso. The food was exceptional—especially the shrimp carpaccio and the buffalo mozzarella with anchovy and broad beans (mind-blowing!). The pesto pasta with roasted chicken was great too, and we loved the homemade ricotta and dark chocolate gelato for dessert. Service was friendly and attentive. The only downside: the restaurant gets very loud, so maybe not ideal if you’re looking for a quiet spot. But if you’re after great Italian food in a lively atmosphere, this place delivers. ”
“ All food was served with great quality. Especially Oyster is taste like gold. Pasta, steak, cocktail(forgot its name) were great as well. Quantity over quality restaurant ”
“ 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. ”
“ A really gorgeous restaurant, beautifully decorated and relaxing to sit in. Great staff. Stand out meal of the week esp tuna tartare, steak for two and rhubarb dessert. Knowledgeable sommelier and our waiter Miguel was brilliant. Such a good experience we went back the following night. Expensive restaurant but the quality lived up to the cost and it was a super night out. ”
