👍👍👍 beat NY Italian !! Our favorite !
Outside of Rome, perhaps the best-cooked homemade pasta and an arrabbiata sauce to rival my own! The chicken paillarde was pounded so thin and perfectly cooked, the roasted veggies were exceptional, and the fresh fruit with zabaione (or zabaglione) was too hard to resist.

Primola is a well-known Italian restaurant in the city, offering excellent food, wine, and service. The staff is friendly and attentive, making guests feel welcome. The veal Parmesan is a standout dish, tender and flavorful. The restaurant has a classic old school Italian vibe, with large, flavorful meals that include dishes like veal with red sauce and spaghetti, and fresh salads with Italian dressing. The wine selection is good, and drinks like Manhattans are made perfectly. The charcuterie plate with olives, hard cheese, and Italian meats is a nice starter. Although it can be very busy, especially during prime times, the lively atmosphere and great food make it worth the wait. Primola remains a favorite neighborhood spot for those seeking authentic Italian cuisine in the Upper East Side.
