Paradiso
5.0
from Venice native Alessandra Veronese is behind this "la casa del tiramisu" (or so their signage touts) in the East Village, serving up four types of the namesake dessert: classic chocolate, mixed berry, and chocolate-and-banana. Savory bites, however, aren't strangers in Paradiso: Veronese, who also owned East Village pasta spot La Casalinga before closing it last year, offers a selection of about 10 panini—from a mozzarella-tomato-basil-pesto version, to prosciutto-and-asiago—made with ciabatta from Balthazar Bakery.
