Terrific Takeout: Paola's

House made warm mozzarella with roasted peppers fresh Basil and black olives vinaigrette greeted us with jubilant fragrant notes of basil, succulent roasted red peppers and tomatoes and of course the star of the show, house made warm mozzarella!  Every bite was delicious and this is among the best mozzarella cheeses we have encountered.  Bravo Paola!
The Classic Caesar's salad was everything you'd want a salad of this type to be.  The thinly sliced parmesan was a hit on top and they smartly put the dressing on the side.  The lettuce was cut into bite-sized pieces.
Grilled jumbo shrimp with grilled corn salad and Arugula was simply fantastic and as this was takeout, they packaged the Arugula separately for maximum freshness.  We love it when care and pride go into someone's work, and let us also assure you it is Paola herself who answers her own phone and is totally on the ball in every aspect of her restaurant we experienced so far.  Not every restaurant owner in Manhattan is like this.  And she was even giving out candy to the 92nd Street children for Halloween!  The shrimp was succulent and paired with the grilled corn salad and arugula of course which you arrange yourself on top, it made for a winning combination in taste, flavor and color.  Paola's is Terrific Takeout!
