Diner Reviews
  • "It took over an hour to be seated from arriving for our reservation. Service was rude and slow. Food was good, but not worth how poorly we were treated. Should have left after the first 20 minutes, but hostess kept telling us they were "preparing our table"."

  • "Fourth visit in four years with spouse and friends. Just as tasty & enjoyable this time as the first. Ran late due to traffic, a call ahead was appreciated and table for four held; seated immediately on arrival. Busy room on Saturday night but moderate level of table conversation easily audible. Service personable and attentive. Food quality & preparation is good, with selections as described in the menu. My haddock could have used a little zest. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her pappardella with mushrooms. Our dining partners enjoyed their first meals at this venue as well. Nice wine list, can get pricey ! Overall,cost as expected for upper West Side Manhattan but not outrageous in the least. An enjoyable evening for all."

  • "We had a late dinner and found the menu offered a good variety of choices, several unique, along with pizzas and classic Italian dishes. The salads were huge, fresh and tasty. The main courses were delicious and arrived at the table very hot. The dessert (pumpkin spice sorbet) was excellent and enough for three to share. The wines were moderately priced for Manhattan. Service was friendly, but there was some lag time between the serving of the wine and the taking of the order. When we have occasion to be in this part of Manhattan again, we would definitely go back to Pappardella. Our other choice would be Isabella's, but the noise level there is usually high."

  • "Excellent classic Italian food with some delicious twists. They also offer an impressive and equally as tasty gluten free menu. We will certainly be back!"

  • "We arrived on time but had to wait 20 min to be seated there isn't a waiting area just a bar but it was packed so we waited by the door. We had the 3 course meal for Vday. I had Ravioli which was great and fillet minion which was not I asked for well done and it was rare and burn on the outside. I did not eat much, my boyfriend had oysters and a whole bass which was amazing. Dessert was a nice piece of tiramisu."

  • "We dined with friends on a restricted diet (one has celiac and needed gluten-free.) Pappardella has a separate glutenn-free menu. Everyone agreed that the food was very good, nicely presented, and hot. The wait staff was cordial and professional. We will return to this restaurant."

  • "We got to the restaurant early for our reservation so they asked us to take a seat by the bar while they got a table ready for us. The bar area was small and the restaurant was packed, but the wine selection was great and it gave us an opportunity to spy on what people were eating. The waitstaff was very polite and gave us a heads up to settle the bar bill before they were able to seat us. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the mushroom ragu pasta while my date had the chicken parm. Both meals were super fresh and very flavorful. I would definitely return."

  • "My husband had a parpadella braised beef pasta and I had the seafood pasta. We also ordered a meat appetizers with salami, prosciutto and brescola. The salami was way too fatty and the other two were just okay. You can get better meat at Whole Foods. My husband liked his dish okay, but the beef was a bit sweet. My seafood pasta came highly recommended as "the best" but was absolutely awful. The seafood was not fresh and overcooked. The calamari was rubbery and the mussels mostly not even open. The shrimp was tough and the clams were just okay. I would not get it again, particularly seeing it was the most expensive pasta dish on the menu. We had a ricotta cheesecake for desert which was just okay. Overall, disappointing for a Saturday night."

  • "Warm atmosphere, great service and decent basic Italian food makes for a great nearby choice to dine before a show at the Beacon."
    Dined on 2/6/2014
  • "We traveled from Phila. for a concert at the Beacon. I looked for a restaurant nearby on trip advisor. Didn't want trendy, just good food in a nice place nearby. This place filled the bill. I had the sea bass special. Generous portion, perfectly prepared with a side of potatoes and fennel. Lovely. My daughter had gnocchi, obviously handmade, light as a feather in a perfect marinara. Service was good and not intrusive. There is a bar, but we only had wine by the glass. Would definitely go back."
    Dined on 2/6/2014
  • "The wife and I were going to a show at the Beacon so wanted to find someplace to have a meal before the show. Being that my wife is a Groupon junkie, we found a deal for Pappardelle. It was a Prix fix menu but gave you an idea of the selections and quality. We each had an appetizer ( she's still raving about the Kale salad which was light and tasty), an entree, a bottle of wine and shared dessert. The food was tasty and the ambiance was laid back and romantic. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive without being smothering or making you feel rushed. We will be going back to sample a more broader menu. The $20 gift certificate they gave us at the end of dinner was also a motivator to return!"

  • "Food here was good, nice variety of Tuscan dishes, but the service? In a word terrible. Waitress was Inattentive and always difficult to find. Slow to take our orders for both drinks and food."

  • "Overall, the ambience of the place was warm, uplifting, and comfortable.There was little to no noise due to a late arrival. My girlfriend and I had a late reservation at 10:30pm on a Tuesday night. WE WERE THE ONLY ONES THERE. We were treated very well with servers not bugging us about our meal but happened to catch us when we needed them the most, refill for drinks, and yes the check. I would visit again."

  • "Went after a family visit to the Hayden Planetrium. Service was good & dining experience was enjoyable. Portion size was healthy and food was delicious, especially the red sauce."

  • "Went with a group of 7 friends - wait staff were very friendly and clarified our shared appetizer order to ensure it was GF for one of our party. Hazelnut gelato was excellent. Meal was served promptly and tasted great."

  • "The food at pappardella is outstanding. The ambiance is nice and it feels clean and welcoming. However, the wait staff and the manager were in need of significant help. Several parties had reservations and had to wait for more than a half hour after they had seated walk-ins (and then admitted to doing it to the 4 reservations that were waiting). The problem is, there is nowhere to wait in that restaurant as they have tried to maximize space to fit as many tables as possible. Understandable, but on bitter cold nights, it makes it a bit irritating when you have a reservation and still have to wait to be seated. The waitress was also not very attentive and made a few mistakes. However, all that said, the food at this place is spectacular!"
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "The food was not only great (try the pappardelle with braised beef!) but the service was great. I was 30 mins late for my friends birthday dinner and they let her sit at the table and wait for me. Then when they were a little delayed with our apps, the bought us another round of drinks. I will definitely be back."

  • "There are alot of restaurants on New York's Upper West Side. For some reason I had never made it to Pappardella where I ate brunch the other day. What a lovely experience. The gluten-free menu featured the best gluten free pasta I've ever tried, indistinguishable form semolina. Excelent service, lovely hgh ceiling and very moderate noise level. worth a stop."
    Dined on 1/12/2014
  • "This has slowly but surely been becoming a favored spot in the neighborhood;however, Sunday brunch was just not very good. The food was mediocre at best and the service was simply poor. Half the time the wait staff were not even visible and the experience level of these individuals was sub-par. We were really convinced that this is not the place for us."

  • "Pappardella used to be my go-to restaurant for a great Italian meal. Their gluten-free menu is one of the best and the food is always delicious. This past time however was very disappointing in terms of customer service. We waited at the door several minutes before being greeted. Our server also seemed very uninterested in taking care of us. The poor service experience really left a negative impression on me and I will definitely look for other options next time I'm in the city."
    Dined on 12/25/2013
  • "The only thing that was unpleasant was the wait to be seated for 10 minutes. I actually am ok with waiting however during our wait there was no eye contact or simply no "we will be with you in a moment" from any staff member. It was almost like they intentionally wanted to avoid us. This is simply poor customer service and we were tempted to leave. It seemed they were under staffed however a simple acknowledgment would have sufficed. After this initial set back we were seated and our experience was lovely and we would go back."
    Dined on 12/25/2013
  • "We've been here several times for dinner, this was our first brunch. The prices are very reasonable, especially if you have a coupon which we did. Service is very friendly. The place is a little seedy, they should really think about giving it a facelift. We usually eat here in the summer outside so I guess we never noticed before. My eggs benedict were very good; I liked that they used prosciutto rather than bacon. The drinks, which came free with our package, were very good, not like other places that make up for the cost by skimping."

  • "Great Italian with gluten free options, including standard Italian fare. And the waitress was wonderful. On a busy Saturday night half of our foursome was 30 minutes late for our reservation (snowstorm). She was very gracious and never rushed us. We will definitely go back."
