Paprika Brings Italy to East Village with Authentic Dishes

In a place like New York City, enjoying a night out at your favorite restaurant offers more than just a great meal. It's an experience.

When you indulge in the ambient atmosphere at Paprika, prepare yourself to be in good company. At this quaint restaurant nestled on St. Mark's Place in the East Village, you will be guided by intimate lighting and dimly lit candles to a rustic piece of heaven.

Once inside, you'll discover that the space is romantic and earthy with warm red hues and authentic northern Italian dishes that provide warm, rustic and robust flavor. Paprika excels in slowing down your dining experience, making everything simple and catering to each diner with superb service.

Keeping with Chef Egidio's unique vision that began over 10 years ago, this restaurant offers NYC a rare and refined twist to traditional Italian-style dishes that you can only find at Paprika. Stemming from his home-style experiences in Italy, Chef Egidio welcome diners to try homey, regional Alpine dishes like earthy buckwheat tagliatelle with shredded cabbage, cheese and potatoes; pappardelle with braised oxtail ragu, and tender handmade gnocchi.

Paprika also features an extensive wine list consisting of a unique variety of tasteful and sophisticated wine from small wine producers throughout the northern region of Italy.  Customers can take advantage of Mondays at Paprika with half-priced bottles as well.

The genuine and unpretentious peasant country food at this Italian restaurant gives diners the warm and comfortable feeling of home. To Chef Egidio, the ability to create a dynamic and welcoming experience for dining out is what makes each moment at Paprika special.
