A friend highly recommended this restaurant as her fav. Italian on the UWS. We LOVED our meal, but service wasn't great - waited 20 min. to get a glass of water and another 20 for someone to take our order. Food was timely though and bc it was so delicious and a cozy vibe, I would go back.

We made a 9:15 reservation on Open Table. They had time slots up until 10:30 for reservations. After we ordered, they came back to our table and said our May come out all at the same time, because they were getting ready to close up. It was a bit rude and quite surprising since the site allowed for much later reservations. It put us off and made us feel very unwelcome.
PappardellaResponded on May 12, 2022
Dear Laura, thank you for your feedback. I apologize for your rushed experience. Our kitchen is open until 10pm during the week and you should have had an unhurried sequence. Our philosophy is neither to rush nor to be rude but to be warm, attentive and accommodating. I will make sure to discuss this with our staff & reiterate. We are sincerely sorry and hope you will give us another try. If you do come, please ask for Edward or Marion, so we can make amends.

Every time I’ve visited Pappardella it has been excellent. This time it was for my cousin’s birthday. We didn’t order a dessert, but as we were leaving the staff asked us to wait and gave us complimentary drinks and a chocolate lava cake. It was bsolutely delicious and above and beyond service! It made my cousin feel so special on her birthday, which also happened to be Mother’s Day (which is a difficult day for her). I’ll continue to bring anyone that comes to visit to Pappardella for a fantastic experience. Everything we ordered was great, but I would especially recommend the whipped ricotta crostini.

Pappardella is always reliable . . . and I don't mean that as damning with faint praise. The food is excellent, the prices not unreasonable, and the service is great. (Excellent Sangria, by the way, but then the bill starts to add up.) It's been our experience that, regardless of what you order, it's going to be cooked to perfection, tasty, and fresh. You can't really ask more than that, can you? A note about noise level . . . when it's really full, especially when it's brunch time, it can get a little bit noisy, like every other restaurant, but in general, you can hear yourself and others at the table without having to raise your voices. Pappardella has been there for a while and is always busy . . . there's good reason for that!

Went here for an early Mother’s Day celebration. We had a table outside in a private nook. It was great! Lovely food, heat lamps kept us toasty, and the service was wonderful. Great at accommodating my gluten allergy with a wide range of gluten free options. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Positive things the servers . They were too many. We met five of them Wine was so clear and unflavored that seems to be watery Regular bread was cold and tasted as old Oliva oil was poor quality Pasta with shrimp was tasteless and without sauce. We request sauce and parmensar cheese. Improved. It was like a pasta from a box. The espárragos with mozzarella and pesto was excellent . The prosciutto pizza gluten free has an uncooked crust . The desert as a chocolate did not have the melted chocolate inside. You should not call this restaurant an Italian .

As a local, who has been dining at Pappardella for over 10 years, I must say that I am rather disappointed at the quality of food as of late. This restaurant has gone from a 5 star to a 3 star in the past year. The food is inconsistent and service is muted. If I were the owner I would be concerned.

Quintessential NY Italian restaurant with traditional dishes. Pretty atmosphere in a neighborhood setting. I'm a big fan of bread in restaurants prior to the meal so many of my comments will focus on that. The bread was cold, dry and stale (though I appreciate that it was free) and I would've liked Balsamic vinegar on the table in addition to olive oil for mixing and dipping. I requested the Balsamic vinegar but, unfortunately, instead of leaving the little carafe at our table, the server poured a bunch onto my bread plate. Twenty minutes after ordering, we realized that the waitress had forgotten our wine, but once reminded, she brought it over a few minutes later. The lobster ravioli was mushy. However, the calamari appetizer and the tiramisu dessert were exceptional.

Outstanding gluten free options and safe outdoor seating. We split a pasta and each had delicious fish. With tax, tip and glasses of wine bill came to $161. One very small not to pick: $2 extra for gluten free bread in a restaurant that prides itself on g-f care? c’mon!
