Diner Reviews
  • "Considering I had asked for a table for four to be reserved even though we were a party of 2, the reservation should have been available but instead we were given a two-seated. Prices are much to expensive for the quality of and the amount of food given. I would most likely not choose this place to go to again. This was the first and possibly my last time. Also, the waitress came back saying my credit card was declined. When I got home I went online to find out that my credit card was just as I had expected FINE with plenty of room for a $19 charge so did she try to put in $1900??? Who knows but definitely not impressed with the place."

  • "We love Pappa Razzi! Except for one new problem for us: My husband and I have been going to Pappa Razzi for years to have our favorite dish, their Spaghetti a la Bolognese. We returned last night to find someone has tampered with the recipe. Terribly disappointing for us, food-wise. It is just not the same. But our service was, as usual, excellent and so was the ambiance. Just fix that recipe and we'll be totally satisfied!"

  • "This was my third visit to PapaRazzi. It is a very spacious, clean restaurant. The food is good and imaginative. The restaurant has gluten-free offerings, but you will have to ask for that menu. This is a perfect restaurant to visit if you have other plans for the evening. You will be able to make it to the theatre, etc. If we were staying later, I would like to order appetizers, which looked delicious and maybe stayed for a drink after dinner as well. A customer loyalty card is offered as well, although it was not mentioned on Saturday's visit, and we had forgotten ours anyway. No problem, though."

  • "I have been to PapaRazzi several times and returned to celebrate an early Mother's Day. It was a very busy night. The food was good, not what I remember from past visits. Our service was good also, but was often lax at times. I will return because I have always had an excellent experience in the past."
    Dined on 5/9/2014
  • "This was a disappointing visit, and I say that only because our visits in the past have always been great. It started with my not being able to order my favorite drink because they had no cucumber, not even in the kitchen. How can a restaurant not have a single cucumber? Though the restaurant wasn't very busy we had to wait constantly for our server to come back. And, I could hear him just over the wall talking to other servers. That doesn't mean that we won't return. Papa Razzi has quickly become one of our favorites."

  • "I really like the food here and their infused olive oil is fantastic as is the focaccia they serve it with. I've not encountered a menu item I haven't liked in the dozen or so times I've been there (over 10+ years) and always look forward to eating there. The staff is always helpful and considerate. In fact this past visit I had ordered an expresso martini and it was the dark type and had wanted a different version, which they replaced without another thought. (It's the ultimate espresso martini, and it's awesome). "

  • "We enjoyed our stuffed eggplant appetizer and Chicken Parmesan dinner. The staff was pleasant and friendly. We were suprised no sides like a salad or soup were not included with the entray. Looking forward to our next visit here. "

  • "Food is consistently good. Great classic entrees with some new ones added. Best chicken parm and piccata ever"
    Dined on 4/18/2014
  • "We have always had a great dining experience at Papa Razzi. This was the first time the food was not that good. The chicken, veal and vegetables all had the odor and underlying taste of being burnt. It was like it was cooking in the kitchen while something else was burning and the smoke got into all of the food. Dissapointing, but we will return and hopefully this was a one-time thing. "
    Dined on 4/17/2014
  • "Have been to this restaurant many times and enjoy it. Food and service is always great. However this time we had a very bad experience with service and I do believe it was because of the waiter."

  • "food was good. frittata little on small side. great service"
    Dined on 4/6/2014
  • "The food was excellent. I was there with two friends - we shared everything. They were wonderful about putting things in three plates. We were a little surprised and disappointed in the service. Had to ask for bread. Our waitress definitely had other things on her mind. Will go back."
    Dined on 4/4/2014
  • "Although some of the new additions to the menu were interesting, I was very disappointed that some of the favorites were removed. Very much miss the Veal Chop, Grilled Salmon has been replaced with what I felt was an inferior recipe. And adding pancetta to Spaghetti Vongole is something to reconsider."
    Dined on 4/4/2014
  • "My friend and I were the last ones to leave the restaurant. Staff were seating in the dining room for what seemed like a meeting. We never felt rushed or pushed out the door. We decided to leave only because we knew the restaurant probably needed to close. I've been to Papa Razzi many times. I am vegan and always get a salad. It's really the ONLY restaurant with a delicious salad on the menu. It's not your run-of-the mill mixed greens thrown together."
    Dined on 4/4/2014
  • "First off, we were seated next to the bar and the front door. Every time the door opened, a blast of cold air hit us. I wanted to move but friends were at the bar so we stayed where we were in order to converse with them peroodically (our decision). I ordered the lobster special, a spaghetti dish with chunks of lobster. It sounded like a great meal choice but what I received was spaghetti with an enormous amount of chunks of tomatoes and very little lobster. The sauce was just okay, nothing to really set of the lobster. I wouldn't order it again. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. For dessert, she recommended the lemonciello marscapone cake and I was thrilled with it. Overall, the atmosphere was wonderful and festive but not too loud."

  • "Generally a positive experience. First timers and we will probably come back although we do not eat out very often. Food was good but my Angel Hair alio olio was not very well prepared or served. Waitress was a little loud but attentive."

  • "They offer gluten free options that taste great. Seared Shrimp and risotto was delicious."
    Dined on 3/21/2014
  • "My daughter wanted to go as she has loved her past visits. This time around I was very disappointed. The pizza was not hot and the toppings were so minimal. My dad has the chicken balsamic and he told me on the drive home he was hoping for a hot meal but it was warm. (had he told me at the time, I would have sent it back for reheat) Daughter and son-in-law seemed to enjoy their meal. For the price, I would choose another place next time. It was mediocre at best. Sorry!!"

  • "We wanted to celebrate our anniversary with a nice nice out , our night was nothing to talk about that's for sure. Wine and drinks were fine. Food not so much. Over priced and description was misleading. When we spoke to the manager she apologized and said yes, the menu description could be misleading.....really? If you are aware why haven't you changed it! I will not return. It was nothing but over priced and ordinary."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "It's a good place to eat. Tables near the front door is not okay, and a no go. I was very cold. It was very cold specially now in the winder."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The menu has many Italian dishes. We shared two appetizers also as well as a dessert. I highly recommend the pollo valdostana. This time my chicken was alittle burnt but it wasn't bad. For it being a busy holiday the service was still fast so I was impressed."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Wonderful, consistently good food - with excellent service - many waitstaff have been there a long time - so they are like friends."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Tasty Italian food. All made to order. Their risotto of the day is usually very creative and totally delicious. If you don't have a big appetite they will make almost any dish, appetizer or pasta, in half portions."

  • "We frequently stop here when flying in and out of T f Green airport. We had a late reservation and we're running late. We called to tell them ok four late arrival, no problem. We closed the restaurant. Food was good, service was gracious, in spite of our lateness. always a favorite when in the area."

  • "The atmosphere here is great - the wine list was impressive for a chain restaurant. But the food could have been better. The chicken parm - while a great portion - the sauce was very bland and didn't have a lot of taste. They use seasoned breadcrumbs and there is a spice in there that takes away from the meal. The Cesar salad was just fair also. Tasted too fishy..too many anchovies."

  • "Great restaurant. The service is always excellent, and the food is always great. Try the gnocchi di sorrento - it's delicious!"
