Profile

Rustic-chic Paprika fills a niche all its own on St. Mark’s Place—an earthy, authentic Northern Italian spot, rich in flavor and friendly service. From the candles and warm red hues to the peasant country food, it’s genuine and unpretentious; they keep things simple and they do them right. The homey recipes include regional Alpine dishes like tagliatelle with shredded cabbage, cheese, and potatoes; pappardelle with braised oxtail ragu, creamy fettucine with shrimp, asparagus, and grapes; and tender gnocci, handmade each morning at dawn. East Village foodies will appreciate the excellent Italian wine selections and the delightful panna cotta (a creamy Italian flan with fig reduction and a tart hint of balsamic vinegar). If that’s not enough enticement, there’s also a $15 prix-fixe dinner, which includes an appetizer and main course.

Prix Fixe Menu

Daily, 5 p.m.—7 p.m., two-courses, $15

Recommended Dishes

Grilled polenta with three cheese fonduta, $11; pappardelle with braised oxtail ragu, $13; potato-crusted filet of sea bass, $20

OK, but there are much better spots in the neighborhood

I went here with friends last night. Service at the beginning was good - drinks and appetizers came quickly. Wine was great, salads decent. Then it went downhill. When they cleared our plates they took the dirty utensils off the plate and set them on the table - I asked for clean utensils but the busboy either didn't hear me or ignored me. When the entrees came out, the waitress was just calling the dish out ("Who had this?) and set the cheese and pepper on the table without offering to serve them. The entrees were ok, but pasta was undercooked. She never came back to ask how we were doing. They cleared the plates before one girl could say she wasn't finished eating. We had to wave to get the waitress's attention to order dessert as she stood in the corner doing nothing. She came over and took half our orders then walked away again. After trying to wave her down again we gave up and just got the check. It wasn't terrible but as a former waitress I can't stand bad service, and there are so many better places in the East Village. Go elsewhere!

AMAZING
