Paladar 511

"Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite at the small corner bar, or taking over the long 10-top at its center, Paladar 511 is the place to be for a big, fun meal. The menu is all about pizza, pastas, and local produce. Start with the roasted squash and the arancini, which is stuffed with short rib and about as big as a softball. Then, head for the messy-but-worth-it Farm Egg pizza and squid ink spaghetti with calabrian chili butter that we’d happily buy by the jar. If you’ve done it right, by the end of your meal, you’re feeling a little louder and a lot full, so it’s time to dance it off by heading to the nearby Frenchman Street bars." - chelsea brasted, zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry

"This bustling Marigny restaurant is a neighborhood gem through and through. Wood-fired pizza dominates the menu, but several homemade pasta dishes stand out, including the pappardelle that pairs spicy pork sausage ragu, basil, and parmigiana with the wide ribbons of pasta. The squid ink spaghetti with Calabrian chili butter and fat pieces of shrimp is one of the best squid ink preparations in town, and the cacio e pepe and ravioli alla norma are divine." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Paladar is a convivial neighborhood favorite for refined Italian specialties and delicate fresh pasta, but its concise menu of outstanding wood-fired pizza might be the main draw. Share pies topped with mascarpone and wild arugula over spicy red sauce; lamb sausage with roasted pepper, pine nut, and tzatziki; roasted mushroom with leek and fontina; or the favorite of many, the farm egg pizza with applewood smoked bacon, braised collard greens, and gruyere. You’ll want the squid ink spaghetti with Calabrian chili butter and plump pieces of shrimp all to yourself, however." - Clair Lorell
