Ipp's Pastaria & Bar

This place is amazing. From the moment you walk in you know you're in good hands. I wish I had gotten the bartenders name .. ( he's tall , brown hair.. ) but this guy is awesome. He makes a damn good margarita. And he put the women's basketball game on so I didn't have to watch it on my phone. Really nice guy. The food here is top notch. Whoever the chef is please keep them around!! Lady thing, there's a lady there Jamaica. She is truly the sweetest person. We were talking and I told her I didn't have the best birthday this year. Next thing I know everyone's singing Happy birthday & they brought out a Cannoli with a candle and a plate that said happy birthday 😊😁😁😁. It was a dope moment. Thank you Jamaica! Great experience. Great food. Great place!!!

I had the chicken and eggplant parm with Caesar salad. My friend Jack had the salmon with vegetables and linguini pasta. The garlic rolls are great He had white wine and I had a ginger ale. We will be back to sit outside next time chilly tonight.

**A hidden gem of an Italian restaurant!**

I recently visited a delightful Italian restaurant with some friends from out of town. It was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend.

**Delicious food and generous portions:** The food was absolutely delicious. The menu offered a wide variety of classic Italian dishes, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection. The portions were also very generous, so we were all able to take leftovers home.

**Be prepared for a wait:** It's important to note that the restaurant can get quite busy, especially during peak hours. There may be a wait for a table, so be prepared to be patient.

**Unique parking situation:** The parking situation can be a bit unconventional. Be sure to follow any signage regarding parking, and if necessary, factor in some extra time to find a spot.

**Overall, a fantastic experience:** Despite the wait time and parking, the delicious food and friendly service made it all worth it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian meal.

Great place to eat.
It's been a tradition for my son and I to come for lunch on his birthday.

Great staff!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Ipp's and appreciated that they had their own parking area in the back of the restaurant. We had never been there before but was totally drawn in by the beautiful front entrance with all the flowers. The server was so friendly and attentive. Every table gets a serving of the best garlic bread. We ordered a veggie pizza and it was perfect and the server boxed up our leftovers to take home. The menu is full of all kinds of great Italian dishes. Everything was clean and appealing decor and they have a nice bar.

Popular local neighborhood spot in downtown Woodstock. Everything was delicious and great for the price.

We went on a Monday night, could not believe how busy it was for a Monday night. They said the wait was 45-50 mins, but we did not have to wait that long. Waitress was nice and helpful. They provide garlic knots, they were the best I have ever had. They are so light and fluffy.
Food was great. I ordered the pepe appetizer, the sauce was so good. I had to ask for more to go. My niece ordered a pasta dish, she liked it. I also ordered the white pizza, excellent. We were so full, we had to box up everything and unfortunately did not have any room for dessert.
Highly recommend this restaurant. We were shopping at the outlet, we are an hour away from the restaurant, I would go out of my way to eat here again.

Great little Italian place, the food was amazing I recommend the veil and the chicken Parm. They have a great selection of wines and pasta dishes as well.

The rolls were very good
The tiramisu was outstanding

The actual restaurant was super cozy and just a great location to be in. It has both indoor and outdoor eating

What an amazing experience!! Celebrated my birthday with our family & it exceeded every expectation we could have had!! If you have not considered this option in Downtown Woodstock for an event, you should! Shout out to Nick and the staff for knocking it out of the park!

This is probably the 4th or 5th time that we’ve been here and we keep driving the 2 hours one way because everything is absolute perfection and EMMA EMMA EMMA is by far and away the BEST waitress we’ve ever had, she always goes above and beyond to make each experience a truly amazing one. The food is phenomenal and we haven’t eaten something here that we didn’t truly enjoy. The atmosphere is homey and never too loud. We will keep coming back because of everything Ipp’s is to us!

The server was nice. They allowed us to call ahead and get in the list with our party of 8. The restaurant was clean and charming. You can see downtown Woodstock. There is a parking lot, but limited as it is in town. There are sidewalks and downtown parking as well. The food was amazing. Eat the bread, it's super delicious. My nephew wanted to go to celebrate his birthday bc he had just been for dinner on prim night. I am won over by my experience. I will be back.

Food is always superb. Last night we went with another couple. I ordered the cannelloni stuffed with sausage and cheese, and our friend ordered lemon Piccata chicken . Our friends were very pleased with the food, service and enjoyed themselves. We all ordered appetizers and salads. Highly recommend the brushetta.

I have been here a few times now and each time has been absolutely delicious! I have tried something new each time plus whatever who is with me is eating and have not been disappointed! The garlic knots are so good, they are big and fluffy and the perfect texture and so much flavor and the marinara that they serve with it is so good! Even just the classic chicken parmigiana that you can get at any Italian restaurant was the best I’ve ever had! Great spot for going out with friends, a special occasion, or a little date night! Can’t wait to go back and try more!

If you are visiting on Friday or Saturday night, I highly recommend showing up early to get your name on the wait list! You will be able to see the list and get a text alert when your table is ready. It's an excellent opportunity to walk around downtown Woodstock or grab a drink at another local business!

Overall we love Ipps. The portion sizes are large, and pricing is perfect for a nicer dinner out without breaking the budget. We've had everything from pizza to pasta to the lunch specials. I haven't had anything I didn't like yet!! The pre-dinner garlic knots are SO good and SO filling. But it's okay because we normally end up with some really awesome leftovers.

This was our first time visiting the Woodstock location, we normally visit Roswell. Woodstock has indoor and outdoor seating, but very limited on space. Make sure to plan ahead and call to ask the wait time!

This was my first time eating at IPP’S I really enjoyed the food. I had chicken and shrimp Cajun my husband had lobster ravioli. My meal was delicious. To drink I had a red sangria and my husband had an old fashioned. Both really refreshing. For dessert we had the thousand layer dessert. It had chocolate mouse/ cheesecake it was mouthwatering. The garlic buns were good although I’m sure they would of been even better if they were warm. Overall it was a good meal. Staff was very nice and constantly checking up on us.

Hubby and I stopped here for a V-Day lunch. Figured we'd beat the dinner crowd. Cozy and cute decor, they were able to seat us fast. Per some of the past reviews, I got the Pepe app. This was fantastic. The sausage was a slightly spicy, but paired with the sweet gravy, it was an amazing combo. It was not soggy and the sausage still had a bite to it. I had the fig & prosciutto pizza. Hands down one of the best upscale pizzas I have had. Dough was soft but crunchy on the outside. It was sweet, tangy, fatty, salty.. all the things you would want in a fancy pizza. Just perfect. Hubby got the Italian sub, hot. The bread was so nice, toasted but not hard. The meats were juicy and flavorful. They did not skimp on how much meat was in the sub. All around this place was amazing and I will definitely will be back.

Absolutely love Ipp's! We've had the pleasure of having Juan as our waiter a few times, and he truly makes the experience! He was very attentive and made my husband feel special on his birthday! Highly recommend the Eggplant Rollentini and the Cod Milanese, they are our go to dishes each time we come. The calamari is also always a hit!

We sat outside with our new puppy and it was chilly. The manager got a new propane tank for the heater next to us so we would be warm. Server was very attentive and we had a nice conversation. The food was delicious and portions were very generous for the price. We got dessert to go and it was so good. We will definitely be making this a regular place to visit.

Excellent food! So flavorful! Very very well done. We will be back for sure! We got the eggplant parm, the tortellini, and the baked ziti 5/5 🙌🏼😍

Tried to dine here several times but the line was either out the door or the wait was HOURS long (which sucks @ the moment but screams good food happens inside), lol. We arrived 45 mins before they opened (they don't take reservations unless you have a large party). The line that grew within that 45 was INSANE. In short, GO EARLY! The service was outstanding and it was a completely full house. Our server was extremely fast as was the drinks, appetizers and entrees. We started with the bruschetta and meatballs - both excellent. We enjoyed chicken parm and chicken fettuccine Alfredo - again, both excellent. 10 out of 10 would recommend - everything from the moment we walked in was great but 1) go early and 2) expect to wait, altho well worth it. Since we arrived early parking was ok but parking behind the bldg is TIGHT to say the least. The overall restaurant is SMALL. But even as we were leaving we were talking about when we could get back. Ohh wait, one more thing. The complimentary roll are INCREDIBLE! Thanks for making my BFs Father's Day really great. See y'all soon!
