Take your palate on a journey at Jose Luis, and discover why this spot has become a neighborhood favorite...
Get lost in a swirl of wanderlust and flavor at Jose Luis Mediterranean Cuisine, where Spain’s soulful culinary traditions collide with the effortlessly cool vibes of New York’s East Village. Inspired by the shores of Barcelona and the beauty of the Amalfi Coast, this hidden gem invites you on a sensory journey that feels like a European escape—no passport required.
At the helm is Executive Chef Samuele Valdata, a Spanish culinary legend who sharpened his skills across top kitchens in Spain before leading the team at Disneyland Paris. Now in NYC, he brings a globe-trotting flair to every plate, blending locally sourced ingredients with imported elements chosen for their authenticity. The result? A menu where cultures, and flavors, come together in perfect harmony.
Start your evening with a pour of house-made sangria and a taste of the Gambas Al Ajillo—succulent sautéed shrimp swimming in garlic and parsley—or opt for the equally craveable Poplettine, veal and beef meatballs in a rich tomato sauce.
For the main event, the Salmone Glassato delivers a showstopping moment—pan-seared, wild-caught salmon glazed with orange and paired with smoky eggplant caponata. Or go bold with the Negra Paella, a moody, dramatic dish brimming with squid ink, saffron rice, calamari, shrimp, mussels, and clams.
Cap it all off with a dreamy dessert like the homemade New York Cheesecake, best enjoyed in the glowing back garden, lit with twinkling lights and warmed by outdoor heaters for year-round romance.
Founded by Diego Andres, who first opened doors in the East Village during the pandemic and expanded to Little Italy in 2022, Jose Luis is more than a restaurant, it’s a love letter to European cuisine, served with NYC spirit.
A night of transportive bliss awaits...

Jose Luis Mediterranean Cuisine earns a spectacular 4.8 Stars on Google from 650+ reviews including:
"Jose is an exceptional and charming host, the service here was superb. The sangrias are delicious, but the real star of the show is the paella which is the best I’ve had in the city. Definitely stop by here to get your seafood fix, can’t praise this place enough."
"Stumbled on this restaurant. Couldn't be more welcoming - the main dish was a 10/10 from taste to presentation. Definitely stopping by my next trip down here. Well worth the stop, check it out!"
"This spot is amazing, and I can’t believe I just tried it! I’ve passed by it so many times. The paella is a must—it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, tender, and surprisingly juicy for a chicken breast. Plus, the owner is super sweet! I definitely need to come back to try more dishes, and I’ll be ordering the paella again for sure!"
"Eggplant parmesan changed lives. The octopus and calamari tapas dishes were also really yummy. The tastiness alone makes this restaurant deserve a five star rating."
