Try the Picnic for 2

Saw on their face book page that they were selling a "Picnic for two", and it seemed like a great idea... For $45 I got all this great food, drinks, desserts and and a picnic blanket (really more of a plastic table cloth) and took my girl to Central park... Ended up being an awesome time and a great date... We took the picnic to the boat house and ate everything on a little row boat... We liked everything so much we went back to the restaurant for dinner after wards... I'd recommend this place to anybody... Think I might even buy another picnic for July 4 weekend or labor day... Also I saw they do a $40 Brunch pre fix thing, I'm going to check that out as well...

Thanks Pappardella keep up the good work!!!

Great Italian Restaurant Upper West Side!

by PaulieG2383

Love this place!! It's delicious food, great atmosphere and really friendly staff... Not expensive either... Try the Pappardella Buttera, it's a pasta in a vodka sauce with sweet and spicy sausage... Also they are a block from central park and do these amazing picnic baskets that you take out with you.. Check them out when you are on the upper west side you'll be happy you did...

What happened to this place?

by KAJ3

We have been Pappardella lovers for years, and it's been our go-to place for all occasions. We just went on Saturday after not having been there a few months, and we were so disappointed. Not sure if the management has changed, although we'd never seen the woman running things before. We ordered our favorite standyby, Chicken Milanese, and happily awaited our meal. When it arrives it had some kind of Thousand Island type dressing on it that had never been put on it before, and just begged the question 'At an Italian restaurant?"

We were so disappointed in our food that we probably won't go back. So sad. We just loved this place for so long.

Pros: Great ambience
Cons: Management change? Food not as good

Decent Meal for two starving people.

by BreeG

I was here last night (03.21.09) for my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend. I mean in all honest, we were looking for something low key. We just ran all around the city and came from the Museum of Natural History nearby. We just stumbled upon this place and decided to go in because we were starving at that point. There were good points and bad points. The bread was stale but the Carpaccio was amazing. I thought our pasta dishes were very good too. My boyfriends gnocchi was slightly over cooked though. The tiramisu was certainly not the best ive ever had. It was way more marscapone and hardly any espresso. Our cappuccinos were great too but 5 bucks for coffee. What are you starbucks?? All in all it was great food for two starving tired people. Were pretty easygoing but i mean there are some points that could have been better.

Pros: Example: best croissants in town
Cons: What are the drawbacks?
