Why Papacelle?
Why does everyone seem to love Papacelle?
- Is it because of our GUARANTEE?
- Is it because we are a family and treat our guests as if they were guests in our own home?
- or is it because we never cut corners? We never cut our costs to satisfy profits.
It is all of that and…
…We feature the very BEST ingredients…
- NONE of our farmers use antibiotics or growth hormones, all our farmers treat their animals with a kind heart and respect.
- Our beef products are from small farms and the cattle is raised on a diet of natural grains and grass from the land
- Our chicken is raised locally at GourmAvian Farms and is an incredible Italian heritage breed
- Our pork is raised locally by Charlie Rowland and really is something spectacular
- Our lamb is raised by Peter Sepe at Sepe Farms, there really is no better lamb anywhere, period.
- our produce comes locally whenever possible (it does get hard to get local produce with CT’s winter weather). Some produce even comes from our gardens we grow at home!
- The eggs we use always come from local farms, the flavor and nutritional value cannot be beat
100% of our menu is crafted in house, from our bread, to our pasta to all our desserts.
…Our Staff is Second to NONE…
- The waitstaff made our experience even more enjoyable. We’ll be coming back again! -Patricia, Bristol
- Professional but friendly and helpful service makes for a total experience Ro, Urbanspoon
- The food is exquisite and the service is as good as you can get. Jadwiga, Zagat

“The menu changes with the seasons as it would in Italy where chefs are cued into not only the changing bounty but also what the soul craves given the weather! Excellent service which is professional and friendly, soothing decor and food that is a treat to the palate make for an overall wonderful experience.”

“This is perhaps the best kept secret when it comes to a spectacular restaurant in CT. It was our first time eating here. It was so impressive from the owner who gave us/others incredible attention throughout the evening to the server to the music to the food (ah, yes the food – so delicious). My husband and I eat out a lot. We have high expectations. Papacelle surpassed all of them ten fold. We are now in love with this restaurant and have already highly recommended it to others. Simply fantastic. If I could rate it a 100, I would! We were blown away…”

“We have eaten here at least 6 times in the past year and the food is always excellent and the staff welcoming. We come here for celebrations and to just enjoy a good meal together. “
