We tried Cafe Altro Paradiso for brunch and had a good experience overall. The standout items for me were the fontina arancini and the sticky bun.
Fontina arancini -- nicely fried, cheesy rice balls, and the Calabrian chile sauce added a nice kick.
Sticky bun with hazelnut and chocolate -- served warm, which makes everything better.
Piatto di antipasti -- pretty standard meat plate.
Pasqualina (savory pie with greens, ricotta, egg) -- not too memorable or flavorful; it would've been more impressive if the egg was runny, but the yolk was fully cooked through.
Eggs alla'Amatriciana -- tasted fine, but pretty underwhelming and was just two fried eggs with some tomato sauce and focaccia on the side.
Malfatti cacio e pepe -- simple and well-done, although a pretty small portion for $24, even if there were some black truffle shavings.
Baccala fritto (fried salt cod sandwich) -- it's hard to cook fried fish well, and the cod was pretty nicely done, although as a sandwich, it fell a bit flat and wasn't that standout for me.
