Iconic Gramercy Park Italian restaurant serving the community since 1950. In February of 2014, Paul and Jimmy’s Ristorante celebrated 64 years of serving our family’s traditional Italian cuisine in Gramercy Park, New York City. It’s a rare accomplishment in the restaurant business for which we are very proud. But to fully tell the story of Paul and Jimmy’s, we must share with you the story of the

Azzollini family. On June 13th of 1955, my father, mother and I boarded a cruise ship in our home town of Molfetta, Italy and embarked for New York City and a new life in America. It was the beginning of a life long relationship between New York city and my family. Shortly after our arrival, my father became a waiter at Paul and Jimmy’s Ristorante of Gramercy Park. Soon, my father made the decision to purchase the ristorante, and the Paul and Jimmy's Azzollini family legacy had begun. I grew up dreaming that one day I would become the Chef and ultimately the owner of Paul and Jimmy’s. It was a time of excitement and learning, but something was missing. A great life is like great food, you have to have the right ingredients. In 1976, I found the perfect recipe for happiness when I married my beautiful wife, Linda. With her love, support and hard work, Paul & Jimmy’s grew into a New York City favorite. Coincidentally, as our business grew, so did our family with our amazing children Merisa , Lauren and Greg.

“Generations of Great Taste” is more than an advertising line at Paul and Jimmy’s. Today, I’m proud to say the Azzollini Family still runs every aspect of the ristorante. My son Greg is our Executive Chef and the third generation to continue the legacy. Greg has added a new dimension to the Paul and Jimmy’s culinary experience by adding contemporary Italian flare to our menu, along side our generations old traditional family recipes my Father and Mother brought to New York City. When you visit Paul and Jimmy’s, we believe our food and atmosphere will make you feel like part of the family, a family that for over three generations has been proud to serve the New Yorkers and the world. Over the years, Paul and Jimmy’s has been a destination for New York’s Governors, Mayors and celebrities from musicians to actors, to sports. We also served some of the most infamous of the New York families. When you come in, be sure to ask us to share some of our many stories. Speaking of sharing, for many years, we have been asked, “Where can I buy your delicious sauces?” Well, we are excited to announce that we have launched “Paul and Jimmy’s Sauces”. So now, whether you’re a regular or an occasional out of town guest, the taste you thought you could only get in Manhattan, will now be available nationwide. You can order our sauces right here on our website. My wife Linda and I, and the entire Azzollini family look forward to sharing the Paul and Jimmy’s experience with you. Louis & Linda Azzollini.
