Pappadella's Restaurant

We were in a rush and simply ordered a salad with grilled chicken on it. It was very tasty and the salad greens were exceptionally fresh. They brought out bread with our drinks, though not real Italian bread, it was toasted and with the herb butter it was very good. I will say they were a little stingy with the bread, 3 slices for two people. We had to ask for more which they did bring, but I felt they should have noticed the obviously empty basket and asked us if we wanted more. The server was very nice, but service in general, was slow. Normally not a problem but not when you have limited time. I'd like to come back here and have a 'real' meal. The salad, which they do serve as an entree, was on the small side, so I suggest ordering a salad with a healthy side dish if you are trying to '

My favourite restaurant in NYC! Slowly working my way through the menu and I’m consistently surprised by the exceptional quality of the food and service. But one of the main reasons I continue to come back is because of the lovely bartender / waitress, Hally (red hair). She is always so sweet, funny and makes the best espresso martinis I’ve ever tasted. 10/10 would recommend :).

Great food & atmosphere. Service sub-par. Waiter messed up order and wanted to charge us for a meal that was supposed to be gluten free. He implied our error when ordering and wanted to charge us. Stew Leonard quote - Rule #1 customer is always right. We won’t be going back. Uncomfortable and awkward evening after this.

We heard a lot of good things about Pappadellas, so went with some expectations. The restaurant met all our expectations. The Penne a la Vodka was one of the best we have tried. The stuffed wild salmon was well done. When the Chef came by, I asked him for some details and he patiently explained how it came into being. Great place!

We had drinks, app, salad, entree, wine, dessert, espresso. Nice atmosphere, did not feel rushed. Looking forward to next visit. App pasta sachetti had a nice touch of creamy flavor. The gnocchi was delish. Not heavy, light with a great flavor, got a basil, tomato sauce. Broiled Grouper was one of the specials and it was served in a light buttery scampi with a shrimp. Piping hot and cooked perfect, plump and tasty with fresh veggie and a fluff of mashed potatoes, YUM. Oh yeah bread basket was awesome. Caesar salad was good best part was the dressing. Well done Papadellas! Mango bombe dessert was excellent. Enjoyed the chocolate cake, also. Espresso was perfect.
