Padella Italian Dulles - Herndon

Had dinner and breakfast here: good food, excellent service!

The food was fine, but it was extremely expensive for what I felt like I was getting. The restaurant also just feels like you're sitting in a hotel.

We dined here while staying at the Westin-Dulles hotel. I ordered the crab cake dinner. It was served with a slaw, fingerling potatoes and asparagus/carrots. It was suppose to come with a sauce, but didn’t. It was just ok. For $36, it was way overpriced. My husband got the shrimp mushroom ravioli. The shrimp and sauce were very good, but the ravioli tasted like they came from a grocery store and were not hand made. The service was great.If you’re staying at the hotel and don’t want to get out to eat, it’s a good place to stop by. However, if you’re expecting a fine dining Italian experience, this isn’t it.

For a hotel restaurant... With lots of ease and convenience... The food in service were great..

January 2024:Stayed at the Westin Hotel for one night and ate at the Padella. Was craving a burger and fries so I ordered the cheddar cheese burger.I was happy with my meal. Brioche bun was very soft. Burger was cooked to the right level. Fries were nice steak cut thick fries.Beer was good. Would definitely come back again. Maybe I will try the Italian pasta next time!
