"When you’re picking a place to drop some cash, you probably want the experience to feel as deluxe as the food itself. From the amaro cocktails and attentive service to the mysteriously alluring scented hand sanitizer, Altro Paradiso nails the details. Of course, these details would be nothing without their perfectly executed seasonal Italian dishes. Try one of the rotating selections of delicate pasta and a crunchy-fresh fennel salad with Castelvetrano olives that stands out in our minds as one of the better mountains of vegetables we’ve ever eaten in New York. If you’ve already cashed in a splurge meal at Altro Paradiso, you’ll probably love their sister restaurant, Estela, just as much." - Hannah Albertine
