I came here with my girlfriend last week for the first time. It was raining hard enough that night to discourage the crowds that usually wait to get inside. I really don't understand why anyone would ever wait to go inside this place. The food was absolutely awful! The salad was decent -- but, really, how wrong can you go with salad? I ordered the veal scallopini and my girlfriend ordered the shell-shaped pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage. The veal was definitely not fresh. For all I know, it might've older than my grandfather. It was thin, flimsy and dry and made moist only by the sauce. And my girlfriend's pasta dish tasted and looked like it was made by a five-year old cooking with her mother. The pasta, again, did not taste fresh. It tasted as though it'd been frozen, thawed, and dumped in boiling water. The pasta actually had a soggy texture to it. And to top off that miserable meal, another patron stole my $40 umbrella that had been placed in the restaurant's umbrella bin, leaving behind a cheap $2 Canal Street umbrella that I reluctantly took away to keep dry that evening. When I told the hostess that my umbrella had been stolen, she stated dumbly, "Well, just take that umbrella, and you're even." Bottom-line: Not only is Pappardella's food awful, their staff is also stupid.
Pros: None
Cons: Bad food, below-average-intelligence staff, loud music

MMMMmmm Pappardella !! The pastas here are so good. I had the gnocchi with pesto which is my favorite dish so I'm picky about it. The gnocchi was done just right and the sauce was so good that I had to ask for extra bread. MY cousins had pasta but my aunt had the fish. The pasta was amazing in a pink sauce with peas. Again the sauce was so good that I ended up wiping her plate up too My aunts fish was looked good and she liked it. The pasta is the reason I will be coming back though,
Pros: Fresh pasta, Huge selection
Cons: Bathrooms downstairs not good for elderly
