Welcome to Paulie's Italian Delicatessen, where tradition meets innovation! You may recognize us as those who served you at Empire State Deli, founded by Paul Tufaro in 2004. Following COVID-19, we decided to move from Downtown to Uptown. This move allows us to offer an expanded menu filled with authentic Italian dishes, rich espresso, a full bar, and live entertainment in a warm, inviting atmosphere while still continuing our traditions from 2004. We'd love for you to try our new Italian dinner menu, curated by Paul Tufaro and Peter Nigro; and our cocktail menu designed by Ryan Wilcox to feature our Italian liqueurs. Don't worry - we still have our famous New York-style deli by Vincent Gagliano, where you can enjoy Boar's Head Premium cold cut sandwiches. You can even bring home Boar's Head slices from our deli case. Join us for a taste of the Big Apple in the Big Easy right on Oak Street!
