    Our table was ready immediately. Food was excellent. They have a huge gluten free menu. Sangria was great. Service was quick when we indicated we had a show to get to and they got us out in time. Overall a wonderful experience.

    We had a lovely table outdoors which I was very happy about because it was quite noisy inside. We had a very kind waiter who made sure we had our meal served in time for the theater. All our dishes were delicious!

    We had a lovely dinner at Pappardella before the Seinfeld show at The Beacon. The Fruitta di Marre was cooked perfectly with all the seafood tender & moist. I just loved the oily broth that it was served with. We’d highly recommend this spot, especially if your going to a show at The Beacon theatre.

    Menu offerings were excellent. Our party of 4 had pasta dishes, NY Strip and lamb chops. Everyone was happy. The steak was so large it could not be eaten completely. The lobster ravioli was the best that was ever eaten.

    While the service was friendly, the food was lacking in both presentation and taste. The soup arrived with very little crab and sloppily dumped into the bowl. My pesto gnocchi was ok, but nothing I couldn’t have prepared at home. My aunt’s mushroom pasta dish was poorly seasoned and needed salt. For a restaurant that has been around 40 years, I was hoping for more from the food. Our waiter was kind but clearly overstretched.

    The place was really packed throughout our meal and they seemed to have put more tables in so everyone is very close together making conversation difficult. And our guest's portion of rigatoni bolognese was rather small making it a bit embarrassing and my husband's fruiti di mare likewise and my eggplant parmigiana was more spaghetti then parmigiana. This was all very different from our many prior visits. They are not giving the food away so I hope they will improve in the above regard in the future.

    Absolutely fabulous. We go there whenever we are in NYC. Great food and service and most unique of all, a wide range of fantastic gluten free options. Not just the gluten free options other places provide, like salads and steak and fish, but a huge range traditional Italian meals prepared with gluten free ingredients.

    We were thrilled with our dinner even though as a result of Mother’s Day, they were packed with guests with more customers waiting on the curb to be seated. Morgan, the Hostess, was wonderful as she handled the over capacity crowd with a smile and managed to keep all the guests, including us, very happy! Everything we ordered was exceptionally delicious!

    I’ve dined here many times. This time we were very disappointed with the waitress.The restaurant was empty when we came in and we asked for a side table. The waitress refused and gave us a hard time.’ Then I had received an email about complimentary Prosecco. It seems we needed a code.we asked to see the manager as she refused to fulfill this promise. My friend and I will make sure we do not allow this waitress to serve us.

    Highly recommended by an UWS local. Service was slow, food arrived at room temperature, lamb was tough and difficult to cut, gluten free bread app arrived with the meal, too $$$ for entire experience and food. No time to get food sent back b/c we needed to get to a show. Highly Disappointed.

    I like this place a lot, however, this particular night, I found it personally disappointing. I am vegetarian. I had an incredibly masterful saffron rice as a side dish. Then I ordered a mixed salad and I received only some green stuff that was unbearably boring to eat. I enquired whether this was a proper mixed salad, and the manager apologized since she noticed that there were no tomatoes. She brought some out, but I couldn’t stomach the whole thing in the end. It was inedible. I also ordered some roast potatoes as a side order and they were stodgy. Again, I only ate 2/3 of the dish. We didn’t stay for dessert. On top of that, the young waitress was incredibly absent-minded, and asked unusual questions (“Ma’am, how long have you lived in the US?” when I asked whether the roast potatoes were a side dish, cos there were so many of them). So, the saffron rice was to die for, but the rest of the food and the experience were disappointing. My husband luckily didn’t have the same experience. His food was great. Not sure when we’ll return next…

    We always love coming to Pappardellas. The lamb rack is outstanding. The waitress made a small error on our order and the staff bent over backwards to make sure everything else was perfect the rest of the evening. And it was! Our out of town guests loved the restaurant as well. Thank you for a lovely evening.
