This is a BYOB Italian restaurant near the corner in Montclair. We stopped by for late lunch and ordered the seafood risotto, bolognese, and fried artichoke. Everything was tasty but surprisingly I think the standout was the fried breaded artichoke. Service was attentive and we ate at a strange time so it was a quiet intimate setting but I could see this place filling up and being livelier during dinner.

Hair found in the food

Save your money! We were really looking forward to dining at Parpadelle, especially after hearing good things and seeing a promising menu. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing. We ordered the specials, expecting a memorable meal...and it was, but for all the wrong reasons. To our shock and disgust, we found hair in our food. This is completely unacceptable at any restaurant, especially one that positions itself as a higher end Italian spot. It ruined the entire meal and left us questioning the kitchen's cleanliness and overall standards. We brought the issue to the staff's attention, but the response felt underwhelming and dismissive. No sincere apology, no real attempt to make things right. It was incredibly disappointing and not what you'd expect from a place like this. Sadly, we won't be returning. There are plenty of great restaurants in Montclair that take pride in both their food and hygiene, this was not one of them. Pic below to show you the size of the hair that was in the food. Pretty gross!!

On a Saturday afternoon, this off-center Montclair Italian Restaurant was quiet. As me and my friend entered, we were promptly greeted, coats taken, and candle lit. The environment was a standard restaurant but overall extremely well kept. This establishment is BYOB and they offer ice buckets for wine as well. In terms of the food, everything was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I couldn't recommend this place more if I tried! Definitely want to go back to try something else.

Wonderful. Highly recommend. We dined her as a party of three, two old friends plus a self described 'not that adventurous eater' who is 12. My friend and I ordered from the menu and enjoyed ORECCHIETTE ALLA NOSTRA and LOBSTER RAVIOLI, delicate layers of flavor, appropriate portion size, deeply satisfying main courses. Our good spirited 'not that adventurous' eater ordered 'off menu' and had a simply prepared, and delicious linguine in butter with sautéed chicken topped with parmigiana. I tried all three, all were excellent. A good friend, former professional chef, once noted, restaurants that nail the simple stuff show how talented the kitchen is. They nailed the off menu linguine... so you can only imagine how wonderful the ORECCHIETTE ALLA NOSTRA and LOBSTER RAVIOLI must have been. Our entrees were framed by a very nice appetizer and a very enjoyable dessert. This restaurant has great atmosphere, a lovely environment and kind staff. Highly recommend. It's BYOB, like many in the area. Nice reasonably priced liquor store about a block away. This is off the main strip so easier to get a reservation and park. If you are in the mood for a lovely Italian meal, check out PAPPARDELLE RISTORANTE. You'll enjoy it.

Veal chop

Incredible service and delicious food. Highly recommend. BYOB. Perfect place for a date night

Can here on a Saturday night, the restaurant is located across from The Corner cafe. There's lots of street parking but it's only free after 7 pm Monday- Saturday, free all day Sunday. Ambience of restaurant was nice, but service was slow and water was only filled when requested. The pasta was soft and chewy but small in portion compared to how much sauce it was bathing in and a little pricey. My friend did enjoy their mushroom ravioli though. There's also a transaction charge added to the bill which we were confused about but it seems like they add it if you pay with a card.

Fried Artichoke Salad
Amelia C.

Quiet Italian spot in Montclair - we enjoyed our meal but thought it was a bit pricey for the portion sizes. The fried artichoke salad was a refreshing start. We had the Veal Juan which was tasty but a very thin, small portion. The Pappardelle Chicken Tarantella was also a bit sparse on the pasta and wish the green sauce was creamier. Also feel like the dishes could have been plated more attractively. Ambiance is on the quieter side, which is nice for conversation. Service was attentive, but no one was wearing a mask.

Gnocchi with Bolognese sauce n pappardelle
Suzanne M.

Came in for lunch today. Excellent service cute little restaurant reminds me of being in Paris with the French doors going outside I had to Popper deli in my guest had the gnocchi with Bolognese. Everything was delicious I'm hot they put good bread on the table with a dipping sauce, made with olive oil, grated cheese, and some hot pepper flakes. I'm going to put the dishes in the pictures also BYOB bring your own wine definitely make a reservation they get busy on the weekends.

But the awesome Fish Delish offers a slight conundrum as the fish-and-chips is a great choice but they're also crafting some other offerings that can't be found anywhere else. The salmon dog is great for the palate and for the 'gram. Even as someone who controversially extends the boundaries of what counts as hand food, I had to use a fork for this epic sandwich. The fish is great, as are the bells and whistles. Wasabi mayo is enticing but my favorite component was the smoked mozzarella.

I tried the Clam Chowder, the Shrimp XL Truffle Sandwich, and Coleslaw. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. The Chowder was tasty, and really hit the spot on a cold and dreary day. I would say that it needs more briny clam flavor. Still a solid soup. The star was my sandwich. Five plump, perfectly cooked shrimp are on a soft bun along with cucumber, arugula, grana padano cheese, and truffle sauce. This sandwich was divine! Truffle that you can actually taste, really elevated the flavor. This sandwich makes me want to try all of them. The coleslaw- which was a huge portion- was a perfect crispy, creamy side. Prices were very reasonable for the portion size and the quality. I cannot wait to go back for the lobster roll. Highly recommend

The Mrs. and I started with the mussels (white wine and butter sauce which was very good) and the arugula salad with apples and goat cheese... SO good! My wife ordered the roasted Branzino (butterflied, deboned & served with salmoriglio sauce, sautéed spinach, green beans, and tomatoes which she loved. I opted for the Tagliatelle duck, duck Bolognese, tomatoes in a light cream and pomodoro sauce. Great dish I would order again anytime. Service is always great here... A bit loud, but I guess some people would call that "ambiance." Still a great BYOB we always enjoy.

This is very good and on the sweet side. Next came the Caesar Salad. What was different about it is there was a hint of basil and instead of croutons they did a dusting of fresh bread crumbs which was unique. Our meals were the rigatoni and a meatball. And WOW what a beautiful sized meatball. It was a bit too salty but my daughter liked it and that's all we care about. I had the linguini and clams which was good. The clams needed some better cleaning since I had a few with some sand in them. Stand out dish was the Fettuccine with shrimp. Had a nice pesto sauce mixed in with the Alfredo sauce and it really made the dish pop. Shrimp were good and cooked to perfection.

Drinks: I had the Tokyo smoke, which was a solid Smokey whiskey sour, was very delicious. My wife had the sake verra matcha, which she also loved it was like a refreshing take on an espresso martini with matcha instead. Would definitely recommend. Food: Toro tartare - small starter, excellent taste, the dashi it was sitting in was very delicious, really enjoyed the crunch with the caviar.

Sides: if my mother made broccoli like this, I probably would not have been so picky growing up, would absolutely recommend. And I cannot say enough about the 100 layer potato gratin, must try. Dessert: we tried the tiramisu, unfortunately I think this is skippable. Not enough coffee flavor, just have had better. Overall great experience, it is definitely on the expensive side, the food and service were great, cannot say that I would do the tiramisu again though. Otherwise, would recommend for a special event or special dinner for sure!
