We live in the neighbourhood and thought we would try Padella on a recent weekend. The person who answered the phone was terribly rude and gave us a lecture about how we were basically losers for trying to make a reservation (they don't take them, just say so!).
I think the restaurant experience starts before you actually arrive (and so do the best restaurants). So for me this restaurant failed and I would never go to a restaurant, no matter how great the food and ambiance, that can't respect its guests.
Pass!
