Reviews for Paul & Jimmy's in New York, NY
Possibly my worst experience I’ve had at any restaurant ever. Went in with the expecting good food and amazing service like... the rest of the reviews here. The food was not only undercooked and under seasoned but the staff gossip with slurs in theirlanguage (Spanish) which doesn’t encourage anyone to ask for help or to bring attention to anything that may be wrong. Theyspend most of their time talking and rarely checking on us. Food was absolutely disappointing. Pasta was undercooked and thetortellini lacked flavor. Something as simple as fried calamari was butchered completely. Only bit of flavor it had was thelemon you basically had to drench it in so you can taste anything. After all of that, to top it off, the water served to youfrom the moment you sit down will set you back $8. The added chicken to the pasta alone was the exact same price. Will NOT becoming back. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone unless your goal is to waste your time and money listening to gossip andeating bad expensive food. Read more
A drink is need for the wait of freshly made food with love. Took about 15 - 20 minutes but was well worth the wait.

Chicken cutlet- crunchy, juicyand light Sautéed Brussel Sprouts 5/5 perfectly seasoned Lasagna- Delicious, melt in your mouth, saucey Table service was a4.5/5 Bread - fresh at first then came out colder the second round Read more
We came in for dinner. I ordered the linguine alle vongole and my friend ordered the cannelloni alla Florentina. The cannelloni... alla Florentina was delicious, the linguine was just ok. Read more
Both our meals were amazing. We've been to Italy and the food and atmosphere was very reminiscent of our time there.... Disappointed that we weren't able to take home any of the sauce with us. If they ever start to bottle again, we will order! Read more
Must do if you are in NYC! Lovely family run Italian restruant that's been open since the 1950s. Our server was great and the... food outstanding. The serving sizes are small and perfect! The homemade Gnocchi was amazing! We had a great time!! Read more
Delicious, authentic Italian food with great service & price! Started with the calamari which was awesome. The carbonara was... great and healthily portioned. The gnocchi was very flavorful and definitely homemade. With tourist trap Italian spots scatteredaround the city, I’d recommend stopping by this place if your nearby. Read more
I came for my boyfriend birthday since he loves Italian food. I will say the portion and the food was great and satisfying. Was... not overly salted, and food comes out at the correct temperature. The ambience is actually really intimate and cozy for indoorseating and you will find that they have a small bar inside. The only uncomfortableness that was experienced was our servicequality from our waiter. It was very pronounced that our server had a preference of serving a couple that came after us withhis best service, while coming to our table and giving us his average service. The couple that sat 10 min after us, receivedeverything first with a more positive attitude, while at some point my server made me feel like I was being annoying to ask forbread AFTER our appetizer came. The only moment I felt the server was most attentive to us was AFTER the couple that got specialtreatment over us, left. He did complete my request I had written down in my reservation, appreciated that. Overall, food andambience was great but the first 15 min was uncomfortable For this Latin couple, and wished the server had more of a welcomingattitude to us from the beginning. We really hate to assume the worse for the difference between how we were serviced and howthe couple after us, of different background, got the 5 star service aura. Would consider maybe doing takeout because the foodwas definitely great. If I was to try to do indoor dining, maybe try a different server. Read more
I had been on a streak of bad restaurant visits but this broke it. Absolutely fantastic pasta in a traditional white table cloth... setting. The restaurant is warm and inviting, and so were the staff. Pretty extensive wine list. Menu is a little dairy focusedfor my taste. Pricing is fair especially for the area. Would definitely come back. Read more
