"Your family members don’t have to play tennis or own a beach house to like Altro Paradiso—but that’s the energy here. This is a half-fancy Italian place with blonde wood and white marble tables, although it isn’t corporate or uptight like a place where you might eat with your family in Midtown. The menu constantly changes, but it tends to involve things like simple pastas, an incredible fennel salad, and cured meats. So come here when you’re looking for something calm and special, but you want to stay downtown." - hannah albertine, kenny yang
