Chef Thiel put together a tasting menu for a Coprorate Holiday event and I have to say… It was extraordinary! Service was on point, the food was out of this world good and he and his teams’ professionalism and attention to detail was incredible. Our folks already asked us to do it again next year. If your looking for a personalized experience call Pappo and be prepared for the most amazing dining experience.

this place is overrated and even more overpriced. the drinks are fine but the food is very meh. the chef seems to go crazy with the seasoning. the tuna tartar we had was drowning in soy sauce and the fried anchovy stuffed olives were so over seasoned you could barely taste the anchovies.

Of course you can have the duck. Or maybe the pappardelle bolognese. Me, I had a perfectly prepared burger with garlic fries and a North Coast IPA. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is warm. Come in and prepared to be delighted.

Staff are very friendly and attentive. My friend had the roasted peach salad that she loves. I had the duck sugo with pasta and it was delicious. We tried the duck liver pate and it was also good. I really like dinner a Pappo’s. Nice outdoor seating and relaxing atmosphere.

Great food and friendly staff. Small selection of menu, but with great variety to serve every desire. Could improve a little the appetizer and dessert in terms of quality. Sometimes it feels that we are eating “frozen items”. It looses the feeling that the meal is specially homemade for the clients.

We went there tonight for our 7 year anniversary and it was our first time. The drink I had was heaven and my steak was amazing! My husband ordered the burger and absolutely loved it! And the lemon canollis were to die for! Our waitress, Faye was so sweet and gave wonderful suggestions! I highly recommend a night out here! Definitely worth it!

Our waitress made the meal! She was entertaining, had great recommendations, checked on us frequently, and earned her tip in so many ways. The place is a little noisy, but very fun and the food is sharing oriented (tapas) which makes the meal interesting. Big selection of Spanish wines, we had one that wasn’t that expensive that blew us away with the flavor and nose.

Great food and ambience; the pan-seared duck special was fantastic, cooked to perfection as per my request. The custom made cocktails created by the most congenial bartender were generous on the alcohol and tasty as could be.I will certainly be making Pappo my go-to place for a fine dining experience.
