‪pappagallo Italian Restaurant‬

A very cozy atmosphere inside! The food was delicious, the lentil soup was very nice and the fish main course meal was just above all expectations (: staff was professional and caring! The outside tables are available but for me would prefer more privacy as there are many other restaurants in the same yard! But overall a nice experience!

Went there for the new year and I had a great company where we all enjoyed. The place was super busy so I understand that they might miss some orders, but it was great experience overall and the food was fine, not enough portions, but i believe it's normal for the fine dining. Oh wine was great

This is one of those reviews that focuses on the food… nothing else matters when the food is right, and Pappagallo delivers deliciousness as an Italian trattoria should!. Italian Executive Sous Chef Stefano Micocci at the helm, lucky pirate parrot on his shoulder. (Pappagallo is parrot in Italian)

Last week we were invited for the tasting of their new menu at Pappagallo.With this good weather we were seated outside surrounded by live music,dangling festive lights and good vibes throughout.I must say,the service was really good without being too intrusive but yet attentive at the same time.

Upon arrival,we were welcomed with a glass of wine and there was free flowing red & white wine throughout the dinner.The appetizer served was seared tuna which was pretty decent.This was followed by prawn spaghetti which was kindof average for an Italian restaurant,they could have done better.It required more seasoning.

The steak with mushrooms was really good ( and they took extra care of removing mushrooms for my friend who is allergic to it)but the star of the night was the Risotto!!! It was mind blowing! It was rich,creamy,smokey and everyone in the table absolutely loved it to bits.Surprisingly,it was a veg dish & on a normal day seeing risotto with brinjal in the menu i wouldn't bother to order but this one was soo good that i'm definitely going back for more.

Next came the salmon which was perfectly cooked being soft & juicy inside with a bit of crispness.Next to risotto this was my other favorite dish.

The whole night I was waiting for the desserts to be served.Finally when it arrived it looked pretty amazing on the plate but the taste disappointed all of us.There was a shot glass filled with tiramisu,a slice of pistachio cake and a dark chocolate pastry.None of it impressed any of us.

As i said the ambience was really good but i was curious to about how the place looked indoors and took a sneak peek inside and oh my! The whole place looked uprooted from somewhere in Italy and placed in AbuDhabi along with some soft Italian music in the background.Absolutely 5 🌟 for ambience!!!

Excellent pizzas and great ambiance. We tried 6 kinds of pizzas and they were all exceptional: calzone, margarita, Toscana, cinque formaggi.
