| ABOUT US |
|
| February 25, 2010, marked the 60th anniversary of Paul & Jimmy's Restaurant, a Gramercy Park Landmark known for its hand-crafted, Italian fare. Originally opened in 1950 on Irving Place by Paul and Jimmy Delgado, the establishment immediately became a home to high-profile diners and New York locals alike. In 1968, Cosmo Azzollini bought the restaurant from its namesake after working there for many years as waiter. Cosmo and his sons operated the establishment together for several decades and later relocated to its current location on 18th Street. |
| Since 1997 Louis and Linda Azzollini have owned Paul & Jimmy's. Their son Greg joined them in 2005. As the 3rd generation to run the restaurant, Greg Azzollini is a graduate of The Institute of Culinary Education and currently serves as Executive Chef. He continues to serve old-country-style Italian dishes, as well as, innovative specials prepared daily. Ail plates are crafted with the freshest of ingredients, many sourced locally from farmers markets, and well-stocked in portion. |
| Paul & Jimmy's continually strives to make their customers feel like part of the family. Louis and Greg are always present at the restaurant and look forward to satisfying many more patrons in the coming years. |
ACCOLADES:
For the past 14 years, Paul & Jimmy's has been a recipient of the prestigious American Academy's International Star Diamond Award, the worlds premiere organization for awarding excellence in travel, cuisine, and luxury products. |

| A Note From Our Chef: |
| Paul & Jimmy's has been an integral part of my life since I was born. My family comes from a small town in southeast Italy called Molfetta. My own culinary roots reach back to my grandfather Cosmo and my great uncles who were restaurateurs. My father Louis has instilled in me a passion for this business. His love and guidance have enabled me to follow in his footsteps. My dream to work with him is now a reality. |
| During my teenage years, I worked here as a busboy and as a college student I became a waiter and maitre'd. After graduating from the University of Connecticut in 2004, I continued my studies at the Institute of Culinary Education to develop my skills as a chef. While attending school, I discovered the discipline, hard work and passion it takes to become successful. After completing a two month externship at the acclaimed Lupa Osteria in NYC, I decided to join our family's business. I strive to use the freshest seasonal ingredients to create our specials. Of course, we will continue to serve you the favorites you have enjoyed here since 1950. Recently I traveled to Tuscany to enhance my culinary skills in traditional Italian cooking. My goal is to give you the most authentic Italian dining experience in New York City. |
| My family and I welcome you and hope that your experience here is both enjoyable and memorable. |
