Barolo Restaurant transports you to the Barolo wine region of northern Italy. Walk down West Broadway in Soho past the boutiques and art galleries, until you get to the entrance of Ristorante Barolo. As soon as you enter you leave SOHO behind.
Paolo Secondo, the owner of Barolo Restaurant, is from Genoa, Italy. He opened his first restaurant in New York, I Tre Merli in 1989. Buoyed by the success of Tre Merli, Secondo opened Barolo and several other restaurants. If you want to visit Italy with out the air fare try Barolo. Every dish is completely authentic as is the service. No Chicken Parmigiano here!
