" We were here for breakfast and tried the famous breakfast pizza. It was delicious, and the staff was enthusiastic and accommodating. The seating was a bit cramped, but we didn't mind because the food made up for it. I won't hesitate to recommend this cafe to others looking for that authentic Italian experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Italian food lover, I was thrilled to stumble upon Pappalecco! The wood-fired pizza took me back to my travels in Italy. Not only was it authentic, but the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The gelato was perhaps the highlight - such a creamy texture! I would love to come back and try their other specialties. Don’t miss this place if you enjoy authentic Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely little find! The ham and cheese croissant was delectable; however, the gelato was a small letdown for me - I expected it to be creamier. The cafe had a nice atmosphere with friendly staff who made the visit pleasant. Not a problem that would stop me from trying other menu items though, especially the pizzas that everyone raves about! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Pappalecco for the gelato, and it was fabulous! I ended up trying one of their wood-fired pizzas and was amazed at how well it was made. The outdoor seating area was a nice touch, allowing us to enjoy our meal and the California sun. I genuinely appreciated the service, which was both friendly and quick. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am absolutely in love with Pappalecco! The range of gelato flavors is impressive, and I highly recommend the amaretto! It’s my favorite alongside their croissants, which are always perfectly flaky. The outdoor seating is the cherry on top - a perfect place for catching up with friends or studying. Service is consistently friendly, which adds to the positive vibe of this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Pappalecco is wonderful, and the gelato is simply the best! However, I had a mediocre experience with the service. The staff was friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed, which led to our order taking longer than expected. I would give it another shot because the food is undeniably tasty, especially the Italian desserts! Looking forward to trying the pizza! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little Italian cafe! The vibes here are fantastic, and the outdoor seating is perfect for a sunny day. The wood-fired pizza has a delightful crust that is both crispy and chewy, and my friends couldn't stop raving about the pistachio gelato. Overall, we enjoyed our meal immensely and can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
