Diner Reviews
  • "This place was surprisingly great for gluten-free options. From antipasto to dessert, they had a robust GF menu and everything was unbelievably tasty. According to our friend, her non-GF clam linguine was extremely good and worth coming back for. Also, the restaurant was filled with neighborhood locals, which is the best way to judge if a place will have good food. A solid choice!!"

  • "The brunch was not that good. The prix fixe menu for brunch including a "first course" that was just a plate of bread. Not really a first course. The main course was not that tasty either. However, I have had dinner there before and the meal was delicious."

  • "The food was good. The waitress was lovely but there seemed to be only two waiters on staff. The busboys were terrible, didn't scan, perhaps they didn't speak English, couldn't manage to bring milk for the coffee."

  • "I had not been to Pappardella in a long time and was happy to see it was still there. After a Lincoln Center outing, a group of 4 went for dinner. We were met by the hostess promptly and given a nice table, but it took a while for us to get menus and a waitress. Once that glitch was resolved, everything went smoothly and we had a good dinner. We all had specialty salads that were tasty and good-sized for the price, and the same could also be said for our entrees, which ranged from fish to pasta. I enjoyed my pappardelli pasta with sausage. For dessert, a very nice ricotta cheesecake. I was glad to see that the restaurant is still popular and serving good food after all these years."

  • "I purchased what was supposed to be a 4-course Luxe Italian picnic deal from Travelzoo for Pappardella. Waited a whole month for what i anticipated to be a fun day, instead i was highly dissapointed. Food as disgusting, burnt bread, nasty pasta, the cured meats seems like it has been seating around for weeks, the cheese had a sour taste and foul smell, no vegetable present (as advertised), desert urrrg! Pure nightmare. Thank God for the bike rental at central park which saved the day. And of course no lemeon bars and no checkered tablecloth as advertised. :-("

  • "Everything we ordered was delicious and we love Pappardella - been coming her for past 6 yrs. The asparagus in pesto appetizer is a nice start and the Tartufo Fungi dish is the best pasta dish on the menu. The pizza is a perfect size for a child for dinner. The Orvieto wine special for Fathers Day was good. There seemed to be some problem with dishes and utensils that night. I received a dirty appetizer dish hot from the washer - I washed it off with my napkin and glass of water as the place was pretty busy. We were also given forks to eat sorbet with which was a little weird... We've been to this restaurant a several times, so I think they were just having a busy night and perhaps were a little understaffed in the back end."

  • "We visited New York and needed to cater to all members of our family and their dietary needs: gluten-free and vegetarian for some. We also wanted a memorable night. Pappardella was it! We met with friends and had a great night. Everything was delicious and the tomato/mozz and mushroom ragu were excellent for gluten-free needs. I highly recommend it. We will definitely be going back when we visit NYC again."

  • "Using a Living Social deal we had brunch. Both my husband and I both enjoyed our meals very much. I had eggs benedict and he has an omelet. My only surprise is when I got the bill and if we not had the Living Social deal the two brunches would have been $68. Now I realize the prices would be higher in NYC but really I truly think that is very high for what we got. The living social was just right."

  • "We celebrated my wife's birthday here with 2 other couples. The food was very tasty and the overall atmosphere is friendly. Wait staff, while not overly attentive, was there when we needed them. The wine list could use some more depth, especially given the decent menu selection. All of us enjoyed the evening and would definitely go back!"

  • "The food was not as good as the reviews I read. The garlic mashed potatoes were bland. The port wine sauce on my steak was nothing to write home about. The service by my waitress was atrocious. She took forever to bring me my food. Took even longer to get my check. And another waitress had to get my check when I was ready to pay because my waitress was too busy entertaining and taking pictures with the diners at the table to my left. I won't be returning here or recommending this restaurant to anyone."

  • "This restaurant was fairly good. The waitress was friendly and helpful. There was a problem with our appetizer and they gave it to us for free. The food was tasty, but portions were fairly small in relation to the price. I liked that much of the food was free range or organic. Don't know if I would go out of my way to return."

  • "Pappardella is just one of those places that we love and return to time and again, year after year. The food is reliably good, the service attentive and friendly, and the ambience always pleasing. We've never had a bad experience here. I have no idea how many times we've been here, and I hope to get back again soon!"

  • "We dine with my family at Pappardellas for special occasions. My son just graduated from college and we had a wonderful relaxing lunch for over two hours. We sat inside but the doors were open so we had the best of both worlds. The food and service is always excellent! The management is there to make sure the customer is happy. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. It is one of the best places I have gone in years! If I lived in NYC I would go a few times a week! For now I just have to accept that I will always go on special occasions!!"

  • "Went for anniversary with my girlfriend, and came in with high expectations after recommended from friends. Food was ok, but it's NYC and expect better for a highly rated Italian place (split caesar, Veal Parm, Pappardelle with mushrooms). Tables in center were cramped. Pleasant staff, service was mediocre as never offered bread, asked for water three times, the check twice, then when received - it had incorrect pricing. I politely asked the manager (I think) to double check, then she started to try and defend herself but stopped and said she would look into it. They corrected the pricing, then we smiled and left. I'm not planning on going back anytime soon."

    Dined on 5/18/2014
  • "Very solid food, but pricey for what it is. There are other restaurants in the general vicinity that have the same food and quality for at least 25% less."
    Dined on 5/17/2014
  • "When we sat we waited 15 minutes to get the waitres attention. It seemed either not enough servers or just not very proficient as everything had to be asked and than waited, water, bread, plates, etc.. Just overall not very good service and customer attention."
    Dined on 5/17/2014
  • "The restaurant has an extensive and delicious gluten free menu. The staff seems to be quite knowledgeable of gluten free concerns and protocols. I can't wait to dine again!"

  • "Fresh made pastas, nice ambiance. Great local if you are going to the Beacon. Real Italy Italian dishes. Worth the trip. Also nice outdoor dining area!"

  • "Even though there were only 3 tables seated when we arrived, with another 4 outside, we sat for 15 minutes without anyone coming over, even to give us water. I stood up looking to speak to someone, but didn't see anyone. Finally a waitress was coming towards us. I looked at her about to speak, while I was standing and my sister and her husband were getting up, obviously annoyed. She only looked at me, made eye contact, then quickly looked away and started to speak to the table behind us. So we left. So sad. I come here all the time with my boyfriend because we live so close. Not anymore."

  • "Best Meal I ever ate. Gluten Free Dining at its best. And the service was great too. Even the manager noticed our bread was not gluten free and immediately removed it. Now that's attention to detail."

  • "Nice atmosphere, service was very accommodating I wish we could of liked the food more. A special of cauliflower soup had virtually no taste at all. My pasta was so drowned with sauce I couldn't eat more than a few bites. I saw many families with small children enjoying themselves. Maybe I just didn't order the right thing."

  • "In my reservation, I noted my allergy was never discussed or addressed by Server/Waitress. Both my Employee and I were very disappointed in the quality of the food we ordered as it was very bland and much too oily. Service was very confusing as I thought my Waitress was a nice woman, however didn't understand her leaving prior to us finishing and never coming over to the table to inform us of such. There was only one other table of diners and service was very slow - had to constantly motion for attention. DO NOT RECOMMEND."

  • "Visited April 26 for brunch. We bought a deal through travelzoo which was $64 for 4 people (cornetto, entree, side and a cocktail per person). Croissant was nice and buttery. Their strawberry jam was perfect! For my entree, I chose the pizza with italian sausage, roasted peppers with the sunny side egg on top---it was delicious! I'd highly recommend the pizza. I also had the maple bacon as my side (3 pieces), it was on the oily side but the taste went perfect with my pizza. My friends had the eggs benedict, and they said it was "alright" and didnt speak more of it. Do not get their mimosa's or bellini's. They just didnt taste right---i think it was the club soda they've mixed it with. The place was small but not too busy. Eat on the patio! "

  • "We liked this place so much we went 2 nights in a row. Unpretentious neighborhood place with relatively small menu that covers all the basis. My husband wouldn't offer me any Pasta Bolognese, it was too good to share. I liked the verdure offering to start. Perfect asparagus and artichokes, etc. A great kale salad. The fish is also consistently well done. "

  • "We always go here at least once on our regular visits to New York, due to its excellent food, service and ambience close to our hotel."

  • "I think that I am bias because I have never had a bad experience at Pappardella's. The service, ambiance, wine list and of course the food is simply delectable. Costly, yes but truly worth it. Hands down, it's my dining preference on a Friday or Saturday nite in NY. So, please make your reservations early during the week (secret)."

  • "The food was excellent. Had the pasta with seafood and my boyfriend had the pasta with clans. We both enjoyed our meals greatly. The only downfall was that we were there at 6:00 and they had already run out of a lot of their specials for the night. Overall, a great experience, though and I would definitely go back."

  • "We were looking for a low-key spot to dine after an afternoon performance at Lincoln Center. Pappardella was a short stroll down Columbus Avenue and was just what we were looking for- relaxed, plenty of room for a family and great menu selection from it's Northern Italian menu. The food was delicious, the service relaxed and helpful, even with a full house it was quiet enough for us to have meaningful conversations. Will definitely come here again."

  • "Must try their signature made pasta "pappardella" which has been served fro 30 years in this place. I loved the mushroom pappardella pasts with truffle cream sauce. Cheese plate are very good - amazing gorgonzola and mozzarella. They say the regulars in this place include Dustin Hoffman, Michael Douglas and other celebrities:)"
