The globally renowned Italian restaurant franchise, which first launched in Milan in 1977, is making its grand return to New York City—this time with an elevated concept that blends authenticity, modernity, and high design.

A Taste of Milan in the Heart of Tribeca
Paper Moon has long been a beloved name in fine dining, with locations spanning London, Istanbul, Dubai, Hong Kong, and beyond. While New Yorkers may remember its Upper East Side outpost decades ago, its revival in Tribeca will bring a fresh take on Italian cuisine to one of Manhattan’s most dynamic neighborhoods.

Behind this exciting venture is Mahween Rahman and her family, the restaurateurs responsible for Beefbar Tribeca, another high-end international dining concept that quickly became a local favorite. Their inspiration for bringing Paper Moon Giardino to New York stems from their extensive travels and deep appreciation for Milan’s culinary heritage.
“We travel extensively, and Milan is one of the places we go all the time,” Rahman explains. “We’ve been to the restaurant for years, and we thought it would be a good addition to the New York market.”

A High-Design Destination by Rockwell Group
To match its world-class cuisine, Paper Moon Giardino will feature an exquisite interior designed by the Rockwell Group, known for crafting some of the most iconic hospitality spaces around the world.
Set in a second-generation restaurant space, the location will undergo a seamless transformation into a sophisticated yet welcoming Italian retreat. Expect an atmosphere that blends classic Milanese charm with contemporary New York elegance, creating a space that’s as visually stunning as it is inviting.
“There are many Italian restaurants in the city, but we are planning to do a very original take on Italian food, and it’s going to be a very elevated atmosphere,” Rahman shares.
