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; we keep things simple . The homey recipes include regional Alpine dishes like tagliatelle with shredded cabbage, cheese, and potatoes; pappardelle with braised oxtail ragu, maccheroni with lobster and mascarpone ; and tender handmade gnocchi.
