" Pappalecco has captured the essence of Italy right here in San Diego! The gelato flavors are incredible, and the affogato is a must-try. The environment is cozy and welcoming, making it easy to spend long hours here. During my last visit, I had the breakfast panini, which was loaded with fresh ingredients. This place is perfect for breakfast or a light lunch, and I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" On the recommendation of a friend, I visited Pappalecco and was not disappointed. The coffee was smooth, and the pastries were freshly made with flaky perfection. I particularly loved the layers in their croissants. The staff were friendly, and the ambiance was pleasant. Definitely will be back to try their acclaimed pizzas. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect atmosphere for an afternoon coffee! I loved the vegetable panini that I had, full of flavor and fresh ingredients. The gelato was a great finish to our meal - I recommend the hazelnut flavor! Friendly staff who made us feel welcome and cherished. We’ll definitely be returning for another relaxing afternoon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pappalecco after hearing so much about it, and I have to say, it's worth the hype! The gelato was fantastic and creamy, and I absolutely loved the cannoli. The staff was super friendly, which made the experience even nicer. I didn’t like the dog-friendly patio layout too much, but I could overlook that because the food was so great. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was nice, but a bit overshadowed by the service delay. While the pizza was tasty and made with quality ingredients, the wait was longer than expected. The gelato was delightful, and I enjoyed my espresso very much. A great place overall, and I'd gladly go back if the service issues were resolved! " (*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*)
