About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
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.

    My husband and I dined at Socarrat on Mulberry Street on Saturday evening. We were given a comfortable corner table. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria and the seafood paella. The server told us it would take 30 minutes for the paella. We were fine with that. In the old days, they may have given us some bread and butter or olive oil. Not anymore. The place has a cozy vibe and the noise level was tolerable. The Sangria was excellent. But the paella, not so much. Most of the seafood (with the exception of the shrimp) did not taste fresh and, it needed chorizo or something to give it a little kick. As it was, the dish was very bland. And I understand that the rice on the bottom should be crispy, but it was all crispy. I wanted to love it, but, alas, the reason for our visit was disappointing. Fortunately, the flan we shared for dessert was very tasty and we struck up a lovely conversation with the couple at the next table. If I return, I will order the paella with chicken, chorizo and seafood. And I’d probably come on a Tuesday when they offer flamenco.
    Socarrat Paella Bar - NolitaResponded on March 27, 2025
    Dear Shelly, We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. While we're happy to hear you enjoyed the sangria, atmosphere, and dessert, we're sorry the paella didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback is truly valuable to us, and we will be sharing your comments with our kitchen team to ensure continue to improve. We’d love to welcome you back so you can try our mixed paella Socarrat, which does include chorizo for an extra kick—or perhaps for flamenco night for an even more memorable visit. Please don’t hesitate to let us know in person if anything isn't to your satisfaction during your visit—we’re always happy to make it right! Best regards, Socarrat Management
