   Great gnocchi, excellent ravioli with shrimp! Burrata salad was also excellent.

   The place was closed when we got there. Looked like it could be nice if it were opened. Will call next time. They need to update their info when closed

   Very disappointing. Calamari was chewy and served with bitter chicory (I think). The waitress asked "How was the octopus?" - I didn't have the heart to correct her. Both our entrees were over salted. Unlikely we will return.

   We love the restaurant and I’m sure it was an oversight as we just changed seasons in the area. I almost questioned it but then remembered it was restaurant week and I thought they must be open as a result. (Score one for the little guys.) Made a reservation on open table for a Tuesday at 7pm and sadly when we arrived they were closed. I guess someone forgot to adjust the hours online. We were disappointed and hungry but will try again another time. Maybe call first…

   My wife had salmon that was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I had the stuffed pork chop that was perfect, moist, right temperature and also seasoned well.

    Always enjoy dinner at LaPadella in Ventnor. The food is always delicious, served hot and with style. I had the Fritts de Mari and it was chock full of fresh seafood and very tasty. My wife had veal with artichoke, which was also bon ton, the servers are always friendly & helpful. Does get a bit noisy outside at times but feel better eating outside.

    Good was outstanding. Great value as it’s a BYOB. Staff were pleasant and attentive. We ate outside and the bugs were a bit much. They graciously moved us inside as they had space. I’d highly recommend it. Nothing better to me then a great family owned restaurant.

    It’s off season at the Jersey Shore and we were fortunate enough to have the restaurant to ourselves - like a private party for two;) The owner/server could not have been nicer. She was delightful. We could not believe this (very) young lady and her equally young husband own three incredibly successful restaurants in Ventnor (Sapore and Aroma are the other two- all great). After talking to her at length, the reason was obvious. They take such pride in their businesses and their work ethic is unmatched. Now to the food- we started with the fired shrimp and calamari dish. It was seasoned perfectly and the accompanying red sauce was really tasty. We then had the shrimp risotto and the chicken with shrimp dish. Great portions and flavorful. I had to force myself to stop eating! We will definitely return ;)

    My husband and I had a terrible meal (horrible service and food that arrived cold) at La Padella when it first opened a few years ago and didn’t want to go back because of that. We decided to try it again since they have outside seating. The food was excellent and service was better, but it wasn’t particularly crowded when we went. They also no longer have any tables inside right now, which helped the kitchen. I’m not sure what will happen to the service and food if they have tables inside again and keep some tables outside. I will give it another try this fall and hope that the food is as good as it was last weekend.

    Small restaurant with wonderful service. They really seem to care about your experience with them. Started out with salads, my arugula had a sea salted lemon dressing that I would buy! We both had the Pollo Al Granchio. So delicious, with crabmeat, roasted peppers, thin pasta and a light well seasoned lemon white wine sauce. Save room for their bread and olive oil. It’s the type of small restaurant business that you want to support and the reward is you won’t be disappointed.

    I went with one other person. We didn't get our appetizer (clams) until about 45 minutes after being seated and they weren't worth the wait, aside from the fact we were starving. When we finally got our food, mine was the wrong order and both meals were cold. They corrected my meal and definitely reheated my friend's meal because his meat came back tough as leather. After being there for over 2 hours, I went inside to use the bathroom and was told it was broken. I left very disappointed and will not return.

    Everything was delicious. The restaurant is doing a great job, even with being understaffed. I went Wednesday night and every table was sat. There were just 3 staff members working the floor and they handled it with ease. I was happy that my son and I had the chance to try them out, we will for sure return.

    Flounder special was VERY expensive and too salty. My mussels in white sauce was also way too salty. And I like salty. So if I think it was too salty, it was.

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary on Friday evening by eating outdoors at La Padella. The evening was beautiful and the food was, too. I had the risotto scampi and my wife had a pasta dish with crab. Our servers were attentive and helpful. We look forward to returning for another delicious dinner.

    I asked about the lump crab cake with the lemon chicken and was told it was fantastic. When I got my meal there was no lump crab cake. It was minced non lump crab cake and when I asked the waitress she said I should have told you. I was disappointed and would have ordered something else

    first they got one order wrong, then it took forever to get it right. At first a scowling waitress said she would "make it right" with free dessert? then other waitress said no charge for corrected order. Main course was bland- Worst chicken parm ever. Check arrives with full charge for everything. Had to send that back too. Understaffed. Menu didn’t accurately describe dishes. Overall terrible experience.

    the best pasta ever, amazing service. Such a cute little byob, our waitress was super nice. Pasta was 10/10, i got a roasted red pepper vodka sauce special with shrimp and crabmeat. There are only a few tables which makes it a covid-friendlier, more intimate setting.
