Established in 1957, Papoo’s Italian Cuisine & Bar is the oldest family-run restaurant in New York’s Financial District.
Papoo’s is a unique multi-level restaurant with three beautifully appointed dining rooms and a spacious bar area that is a great gathering place, just ask our regular customers.
With its delicious food, attentive service and relaxed ambiance, Papoo’s is ideal for business dinners and meetings as well as fun occasions and celebrations. The dining rooms can be used individually for smaller groups while all three are perfectly situated to use together to accommodate events for up to 200 guests.
Chef and owner, Nick Manolakos, speacializes in rustic Italian cuisine featuring family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. The house specialties include a variety of pasta dishes: Penne with a tomato cream sauce, smoked mozzarella and arugula; Rigatoni served with a superb vodka sauce; and a Genovese style meat ravioli based on his Grandma Rose's recipe. If you are a true meat lover, try the Scarpariello alla Papoo's - a combination of filet migon, boneless chicken breast and sausage sauteed in a marsala wine sauce with mushrooms.
In addition to his regular menu and daily specials, Nick adds his own unique flair to a variety of dishes for his more adventurous customers. They eagerly await the days when he features Rabbit Gardella alla Caciatora (roasted rabbit in a burgandy wine sauce with prociutto, onions and pancetta), Calves Liver Financier (sauteed in olive oil with a white wine sauce with prociutto, onions and pancetta) or Trippa Napolitana (tripe made with onions, potatoes and tomatoes).
Come and enjoy a wonderful dining experience. You will understand why Papoo's has a loyal following, with many customers who have been coming back for 30 years.
If you cannot leave your office, Papoo's can deliver lunch, dinner, or even cater business meetings and parties.
