| - I visited Paganelli's as part of a group and I although I went in with bit of trepidation based on the mixed reviews I read here, I think Paganelli's has some high points to be sure, but I was disappointed with the experience overall.
The highs: atmosphere is nice, staff are friendly (enough), wine was good.
The lows: The menu online dosent match the menu in the restaurant. That's okay, I guess, because the chef might change things, but it stinks to have carefully planned ahead on what you only to realize you can't have what you wanted to have. Since I have a fair number of food sensitivities (gluten, dairy) this place wasn't a great pick to start with (someone else decided on the venue) but I was hoping that the staff would be able to accomodate me - and most times this works out really well.
What is most disappointing about Paganelli's is that as a solution to my dietary requirements, I asked the waiter for a salad with chicken, no cheese please. What I received was a dismal and disappointing plate that had less than fresh greens and a sparse spattering of chicken - not enough to count as even a small chicken breast. No dressing was offered, so the entire thing was bland, bland, bland.
In fairness, some of the other dishes looked very nice and I think the food would be a 3 out of 5 for those who ate a regular entree that night. I probably wont return.
