About

Paola’s Restaurant has returned home to Carnegie Hill. Now located at 1302 Madison Avenue—just across the street from its former location—Paola’s continues the tradition of serving authentic, time-honored Italian family recipes to the neighborhood.

Established in 1983 by the acclaimed chef Paola Bottero, Paola’s has been a local favorite for almost 50 years. Proudly run by Paola’s son, Stefano Marracino, who continues his mother’s vision of community, where the love of sharing good food brings people together. 

As part of this next chapter, the Lexington Avenue location at 1361 Lexington Avenue is now Paola’s Cafe, continuing to serve the neighborhood alongside Paola’s Restaurant on Madison Avenue.

Together, Paola’s Restaurant and Paola’s Cafe celebrate family, community, and authentic Italian flavors. Vieni a trovarci!
