Socarrat Paella Bar - Nolita is now accepting reservations for indoor and outdoor dining, weather permitting. In the case where we need to close outdoor seating due to inclement weather, we will contact you the day of your reservation.

Socarrat, the quintessence of the perfect paella and for which the restaurant is named, is the delectable, sensuous crust that forms on the bottom of the paella pan when the liquid is rendered and the rice reaches its peak of succulence. The menu, an authentic array of delicious dishes from the regions of Spain specializing in traditional tapas with an accent on paella that can be characterized as a true exploration for the palette.

Socarrat Nolita's ambiance denotes feelings of warmth, comfort, and hospitality. Building on its sister restaurant's identity as a small, intimate space comprised primarily of one large communal table, the restaurant also offers banquet, bar and table seating.

Live Flamenco performance every Tuesday, 7-10pm.

    Tapas were ok, paella was awful— the taste is off and rice was way too burnt.
    Socarrat Paella Bar - NolitaResponded on November 15, 2024
    Dear Justin Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are truly sorry you did not enjoy the dish that we are known for. Our paellas are executed with the caramelized layer thus called Socarrat and our servers do kindly mix and scrape the bottom of the pan for our guests. We have given notice to the kitchen of your concerns and hope you can give us another opportunity to serve you in the future and share our passion for Spanish food. Warm Regards, Socarrat Management Team

    We have been trying to get back to this restaurant for 4 years to see the flamenco dancers. It did not disappoint! The paella was delicious and the service was wonderful. The Spanish guitarists and the flamenco dancer were terrific.
