    beautiful location, loved the ambiance. very energetic place. heavenly singers. However food could have been better...one of my friend's order was messed up...the sea food sauce was heavily salted. My salmon was made perfect to my taste. It is a busy place so service could be a bit challenging.

    I will not likely be back. The food was fine- I had chicken since my choices were severely limited due to a shellfish allergy. I was informed that on busy nights, they use the two fryers for all things together and it will be contaminated. The musicians were unbelievably talented but WAY too loud. We were shouting to have any conversation and we were middle/back of restaurant. Service was fine- kind and they did their jobs. We had the chocolate dolce de Leche cake for dessert. The cake was unfortunately stale. The chocolate on it was delicious. The decor was beautiful and I loved the plants and pictures. If u eat or like seafood, you may have better success than I.

    Pappa Gallo in Rockville Centre offers a vibrant dining experience that beautifully showcases authentic Peruvian cuisine. During my visit, I had the opportunity to try the Chicharrón and a Mixto Salad. The Chicharrón offered a delightful sweet sauce with a bit of tang. The accompanying mixed salad was fresh and provided a refreshing balance. The short ribs were so tender as well. The service was attentive and friendly, with staff ensuring that all guests felt welcomed and well-cared for. The restaurant’s décor is inviting, adorned with beautiful artwork that adds to its charm.  I can’t forget about the amazing woman singing and playing the guitar. She has a beautiful voice and the song selection was perfect. Overall, Pappa Gallo is a must-visit for those seeking a genuine taste of Peruvian cuisine in a lively and welcoming setting.

    The chicken was not as seasoned and flavorful as other Peruvian restaurants. The place is overrated. It’s quite loud but has a great live band on Saturday night.
