   From my initial entry I was excited to be there! The aromas that pursed my nose was delectable. I am so happy I secured a reservation to celebrate with my family. The staff was friendly, warm and very pleasant. The band playing tonight was delightful as my mom requested love music. Though it was extremely LOUD… it created an energy in the room. The food came out quickly and were great portion size, with fresh robust flavors that popped in my mouth and the drinks were on point! I had Lychee Martini 🤩. I will surely return for more! I would have given this a higher review if the music wasn’t so LOUD! You had to scream to have a conversation at the same table! If your looking a vibe with Good food and NO talking then this is it …

   Beautiful ambiance with live entertainment which we loved. The service was a bit rushed. And me being gluten free was a huge problem here literelly rice and beans and salad was my only option. So a huge bust for me. That being said my friends all enjoyed their food .

   Went for brunch with a group of six. Only four items on Brunch menu and not very appealing. Most ordered from main menu. Portions were small and sides were extra. Drinks were ok but small for the price and no brunch all-you-can drink specials. They had a live Salsa band that was ok but they barely performed. The staff was very good and responsive. Excellent service but I don’t think it is worth a second visit. I think it has gotten some hype from social media.

   I had high expectations for Papa Gallo in Rockville Centre, but my experience was incredibly disappointing. After waiting 15 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, we were finally shown to our table, eager to enjoy the evening. Unfortunately, what followed was far from the experience we were looking forward to. After just an hour and a half at our table, the waitress and manager began coming over every 5 minutes, making it clear they wanted us to leave. It was incredibly unprofessional and uncomfortable, especially considering we spent over $300. We came excited to enjoy what we thought would be a relaxing dining experience, but instead, we felt rushed and unappreciated. For a restaurant that markets itself as upscale, the service left much to be desired. It’s disappointing to see customer service fall so short, especially when guests are willing to invest in a premium experience. I won’t be returning.

   First time at Pappa Gallo and can't wait to return! Love the decor and vibey atmosphere. Very conscientious staff - especially our server, Aliyah. The salsa criolla served with the Anticucho de Pollo was a perfect complement and the rotisserie chicken was so buttery soft. Delicioso! The food was amazing! The live music was a bonus! Pappa Gallo is a fantastic restaurant and we definitely recommend it.

   El lugar muy lindo y la comida es muy buena.No volvería🥲 por lo estrictos que son con el tiempo, no permiten que llegue 1 persona mas a la reserva después que tienes un número específico de gente en la reserva, se entiende pero es descortés también.

    Took my boyfriend here for his 40th birthday. The ambience was beautiful. The art was amazing. The food was outstanding and the live music venue was really good.  Looking forward to experiencing this restaurant again.
