The place was booked. The staff was very nice about it will be back again for a more comprehensive review.

Definitely one of the most overrated places I've ever been to eat. The shrimp risotto was ok, average, but we asked for a gluten-free pasta and it was not fresh pasta, it was box pasta with a sauce and it cost 30 dollars. I definitely wouldn't go again.

Mr. Menu man
1- Food = 3.5/5 Good. Spedini is average Tasting with a little too much of a fishy taste. There was a time we would order 2 servings of Spedini for appetizers because it was so Delicious. Pasta dishes are still very good but not quite as good as they used to be. Seems like the quality has taken a hit recently and I’m not sure why. 2 - Service = 4/5. Very good. Everything is good except trying to make me order all of my food all at once which really starts out my dinner experience on a sour note. We usually order 3 appetizers for just the 2 of us. As a waiter you gotta know how to read the room and understand your customers. We’ve been here a minimum of 25 times including sitting outside by ourselves with zero heat bundled up during Covid 19 and still they can’t remember us ??. lol. 3 - Ambiance = 5/5. Excellent. Pretty restaurant with years of history. 4 - Reservations = 5/5. Excellent. Open table same day. 5 - Value = 3.5/5. Good. Paul and Jimmy’s has fallen out of our top 3 Italian restaurants in Manhatten. With that being said we will probably return, Borderline on recommending.

Was not impressed at all. Food was just ok. Service was below standards for what you would think by looking at the place. The "owner" or "manager" sat at the bar and ate dinner during busy dinner hours... weird.

Our first time here but won't be our last! We started with drinks at the bar and as we were early (5p) we were the only people there. Bartender was more than friendly and we talked for a long while. Moved to our table and had the bartender for our server and he was awesome! Food was delicious! My only comment is we were charged $5 ea to substitute pasta for veggies and the portion was very small. But it was SO good, I wanted more. Can't wait for another trip!

What a great authentic Italian place with attentive hosts and waiters. It wasn't very busy when we were there but had a reservation anyway. The Old Fashioned was delicious and not watered down, so bonus! Bread and oils came with the table and it was tasty.

We had a nice dinner at Paul & Jimmy. A good old-fashioned Italuan restaurant. The service was very good. Our food was delicious. We have dined here before and look forward to coming back..

This comes under the heading of Local Gen. It's on a quiet side street, in a quiet part of the city. Regulars are neighbors. Paul and Jimmy's has been in business for over 70 years. It's the best kept secret in town. You won't be disappointed! I love the baked clams and pasta dishes art good too, but my husbands veal chop was just delicious. There's a prix fix menu and a la carte, too.

Ambience and staff were very nice, but the menu is overpriced and it took us about an hour after ordering to get our food. $10 for a itty bitty slice of so-so cheesecake.
