Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
La Padella Ristorante is a charming BYOB spot in Ventnor, loved for its "fantastic food, great ambience, and terrific staff." Guests rave about the artichoke appetizer and shrimp risotto, while outdoor dining is a highlight. Though service can be slow during busy times, the "wonderful" atmosphere and "excellent" meals keep diners returning.

    This is truly a hidden gem in Ventnor, NJ We enjoyed the Rucola starter with the complimentary deliciously warmed loaf of bread served with olive oil dipping sauce. Entrees included the Spaghetti Al Gamberi and the Pollo Al Granchio. Both ample portions and magnificent. Dessert was their decadent chocolate cake which was a delicious way to end this great meal. We were able to bring our favorite wine to this BYOB restaurant which made the meal that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone for a great night out.

    Shout out to our server (I think his name was Emilio) and the other waitstaff. They were very busy and still made us feel like we were the only ones there. Very attentive and we never ran out of water or anything. Extremely good service !! Emilio even welcomed us back. Nice touch. Food - great as always. Appetizers - we had the Burrata salad special, quiet yummy - I had the Veal Carciofi, one of my go to dishes. Never disappoints. My husband had the grouper special. He liked it a lot. It was tasty - we hadn't tried it before. I would get that most definitely for my entree if they offered it again. I liked the taste I had from his plate.

    From start to finish everything was excellent. With a large table of 11 people outside seating we were completely comfortable and the food was all brought out in a timely manner. We brought wine as it’s a BYO and that was fun and refreshing. I got a chicken dish with crab meat.

    Service was great. One salmon was way overcooked and the branzino was covered with too much sauce. The restaurant was good…nothing exceptional.
