Just a short walk from the museum, Pappardella is a charming Italian spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. The space is warm and inviting, but what truly made our visit special was the hostess. She was incredibly kind and attentive, even when my little nephew became cranky - She brought over crayons to help keep him entertained — a small gesture that made a big difference. We split a Margherita Pizza as an appetizer. it was a delicious start to the meal, light and flavorful. For the main course we ordered two dishes that we split between 3 people; Pappardelle Buttera – Rich and comforting with sweet and spicy sausage, sweet green peas, and a sage-infused vodka sauce. And the Gnocchi Pomodoro o Pesto – served with basil pesto sauce green beans. Both desserts we ordered were excellent! The Torta di Cioccolato – A warm, flourless chocolate cake served with hazelnut gelato and caramel sauce. And my favorite, the Tiramisu della Casa – Classic and well-executed, with layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and airy mascarpone. Not overly sweet, just right. The food was fresh and full of flavor, and the service was thoughtful and warm. Whether you're with family or just looking for a quiet corner to enjoy good Italian food, Pappardella is worth the stop.

Great eggplant parm and chicken parm. Zabaglione for desert was refreshing and light. Overall a great experience which will definitely be repeated! The only suggestion would be to update the ambiance music to some selections that don’t include over-played Sinatra. Other than that everything was great!

Looking for a great meal before your show at the Beacon Theatre? This restaurant is for you! We made a reservation through OpenTable with no problem and they had it waiting for us. Side salads as appetizers house vinaigrette was quite good but the Caesar was also elevated. Salmon was ordered medium rare and came out perfect. The sauce on the Bolognese was outstanding. Tiramisu was very light - and very good. Service was on point even though we sat outside. Highly recommend!

We visited for the first time and had a great experience. Since we had our furry friend with us, we opted to sit outside, which was a pleasant choice. The inside had a cozy ambiance with a charming old-fashioned vibe, making it feel warm and inviting. We ordered the veal cutlet, which was incredibly tasty—perfectly marinated and full of flavor. Whether you're looking for a relaxed outdoor dining experience or a cozy indoor atmosphere, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

I've had a wonderful experience at Pappardelle Restaurant. They were able to tend to our diet preferences and were flexible. They made us feel welcomed and relaxed. We also saw the couple next to us got their salad split and we thought it was really cute. 10/10 experience, thank you!

Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The taste and portion size were perfect. And the service is amazing as well. The prices are pretty fair and I’d say it’s worth it. Definitely recommend you go here.

We arrived around 12:30 PM on a Monday without a reservation and were seated right away. Service was pleasant—attentive without being overly friendly. We started with the Caprino salad, which was absolutely delicious, and the appetizer bread was a nice touch. For our entree, we shared the malfaldine bolognese—the sauce was rich and flavorful. Splitting both the salad and the pasta made for the perfect lunch. Overall, a satisfying meal in a relaxed setting.

I visited Pappardelle restaurant to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and we had a truly delightful experience. The restaurant has a charming ambiance, with tasteful decor that exudes warmth and elegance, making it a perfect spot for special occasions. Although it’s a small establishment, it is exceptionally well-organized and comfortable, allowing for a cozy dining experience. The service was outstanding; we arrived 30 minutes early for our reservation, and to our pleasant surprise, we were seated immediately without any hassle. Our waitress was not only friendly but also knowledgeable about the menu, providing excellent recommendations that enhanced our meal. The food was a highlight of the evening—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We particularly enjoyed the homemade pasta and the rich sauces that accompanied our entrees. Overall, I would definitely return to Pappardelle restaurant for future celebrations or simply to enjoy a great meal. I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a wonderful dining experience.
