    Though it was Mothers Day — the food was good and service exceptional. I think the appetizers were overpriced, but the entrees were priced reasonable.

    We love having dinner at Papapolloni! The ambiance is romantic and quiet, perfect for a date night!! The service is exceptional. They pay close attention to all your special requests. The cocktails are definitely on point, and they will tweak them to your liking. The food is also pretty good; I think it’s what I would expect for the price point. We’ve had the salmon, filet, lamb chops, and one special. The fish was a tad on the dry side. The filet was good but they could step up their game for the sides. I’d stick with the menu instead of the specials.
