What a great find for a pre theatre or pre opera dinner. In the Lincoln Center complex with entrance on 64th St. Menu is small but has something for everyone. Service was perfect and there was enough wine, beer and cocktail selection for every palate. We had the pizzas, soups and sandwiches which was perfect for a pre theatre dinner. Prices were NYC cheap and you can eat and drink for less than $35pp. Overall a really good alternative to the pre theatre selections in the area. We give it five google stars and 4 clams on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale.

I had an incredible experience at Cafe Paradiso! The brown butter oat latte was easily one of the best lattes I’ve ever had, perfectly balanced and unique. For food, the caprese was out of this world, and we finished with the cheesecake and cannoli, both of which were extraordinary. A huge thank you to our server, Sally, who was absolutely amazing. Her service was top-notch, and her accent added such a charming and authentic touch to our meal. Highly recommend this spot for both the food and the wonderful atmosphere

I typically don’t write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience at Cafe Paradiso. The dessert I enjoyed was told it's a new chocolate cake they have on their menu, It was simply phenomenal! It was rich and decadent, and the first bite left me speechless. I can confidently say it’s one of the best chocolate cakes in NYC. Additionally, the service was outstanding. Our waiter, Robert, was attentive and genuinely kind, making us feel right at home. I will definitely be returning!
