Reviews for La Padella Ristorante in Ventnor City, NJ
I left dinner last night so disappointed. We had a 7:30 outdoor reservation and no table was available until 8:30 indoors. The... hostess was unconcerned that we were waiting and there was no apology that we were unable to be seated as reserved. Indoors wasway too noisy and made it difficult to hear others at our table of four. The food was overpriced and not worth the wait. Ourwaitress, although nice, was much too overwhelmed to give us decent service. I will not be returning. Read more
I very much enjoyed the experience at this restaurant. Service was great. The food was great. Had absolutely nothing to complain... about. Everything was beautiful. Cute little date nook. Highly recommend. Read more
I don't know if it was cause we aren't White or Italian but the service for my family and I was not good. They didn't give us... bread until we asked for it to eat with our appetizers and when we asked for it our server gave it to us but said "we're notsupposed to give out bread" while everyone else got bread as soon as they sat at their table ???? Definitely not friendly withclients of color ???? food was good but the service was NOT. We spent over $300 on food the least they could've done was befair. Read more
I had dinner reservations for 8pm on Saturday night. I sat down at our table at 8:15. Did not get a waitress for 30min after... sitting and asking for water. We finally ordered our dinner and asked many times for bread after another 30 min we got a smallbread basket. Our salads came within 20 min at this time we finished our bread and asked again and again for bread gotnothing!!!! I’m guessing bread is like gold ! After waiting almost 2 1/2 hours the waitress said saying many times were nextfor our dinner’s to come out ! Finally we just left and had a slice of pizza across the street! Horrible! Read more
The service was fantastic! The wait staff (and owner!) checked in on our table frequently throughout the evening. The food came... out quickly and they even set up an outdoor table just for us! The food was excellent. We would highly recommend the lobsterravioli. Just one note: Parking can be tough, so be prepared to walk a bit. Read more

I freaking love this place! BYOB traditional (old school) Italian cuisine. My favorite Italian spot at the shore. The location... is very small but for me it adds to the experience. Almost feels like you're getting home made Italian at someone's actual home,in a very good way. Read more
Awful and aggravating dining experience. We had a 7:30 OUTDOOR dining reservation. The hostess told us she had no table ready... and with no apology we were told to wait. After waiting 1 hour standing on the sidewalk, and still no apology, they said they could only offer us a table INDOORS. It was loud & chaotic. The food was mediocre, the service was frustrating and the bathroomdoor lock was broken so my friend had to stand outside the door to make sure no one came in. And to top it off the prices werevery expensive. If there was a 0 star option I would have chosen it. I will never return. Read more
