    My family and I went for dinner for my birthday I had the lamb chops and they were good but the other 2 had Chicken Francesca and it tasted like boiled lumps of chicken no taste whatsoever. My daughter ate because she was so hungry my grandson couldn’t eat it. We’ve eaten this before at other restaurants and it’s usually really thin cutlets and very tender and tasty but the way they made it here it was awfu. Really disappointed. We’ll never go back.

    The dinner at Papazzio’s was very good. The waitress Kathy was excellent and attentive. The only problem was my gift cards that were purchased prior to Covid the restaurant owner would not except them. Even though they were signed by his staff and were not dated by his staff, which means there was no expiration date to go on. This is an illegal act, because if you look at the New York State gift card policy, he was totally out of line by not taking them, and he was also quite irate when speaking to me on the phone.

    Food was too garlicky for my taste. Little loud but I will be back. The noise I can turn out if I want. I have hearing aids. Food wise I will spend more time with my waiter explaining my needs. All in all 4 stars.

    Was great especially if Gluten Free! It was amazing that we were able to get just about everything on the menu Gluten Free. There were many selections, the staff were well versed, and the food was delicious! They even had GF breadsticks and desserts. They did not miss a beat! I would definitely go back!

    I have to say that I NEVER give a 5 star review, but this was was just so extraordinary. To start, they had valet parking on a holiday, which was excellent forthought given the congestion in the area. We walked in and felt right at home. Even though this was our first time (for Mothers Day with my 90 year old mother in law and wife) there, they treated us like old customers. The tables were nicely spaced and the ambience was very, very nice with tin ceilings and wood paneling that was NOT old style. The service was very attentive despite it being a holiday and the staff was knowledgeable. The food came out timely and was hot and delicious as well as innovative in many cases...and dessert was to die for (homemade apple tart and ice cream). The wine selection was ok (by the glass might be the only place for improvement, but was definitely adequate). All in all, I cannot wait to go back, even though geographically it is a bit far, definitely worth the trip!

    Being I have celiac disease, there are not many safe places for me eat I can sit, relax and enjoy for awhile without food anxiety, so I thank them for that I like it’s not a big place, always friendly service and any questions I have are answered knowledgeably

    Was overcharged on three items by $1-2 each on Easter. Wine was $12 on menu. Bill said $13. Same thing happened with various entrees. They claimed it was an honest mistake. Three honest mistakes?

    Came here for a birthday dinner, and we were very happy with our choice. Our server was great and made sure we were all happy and having a nice time. Cocktails were good and the food tasty. Almost the entire menu can be prepared gluten free following safety protocols. One of us has celiac disease and this was the reason we chose the restaurant. The level of trust and being able to enjoy a restaurant meal without fear is priceless

    Just our second year Christmas eve there but definitely now our annual eve go to. Full menu, not just limited holiday fare; no jacked up prices. Nicest homey service, lovely warm decorations. We could only get a spot at 9 (two days before), but we eat late anyway. Street parking was easier than most nights, just one block in the cold. Montepulciano, mozzarella en carrozza, saltimbocca, scarpariello, linzer torte, oreo mousse cake, all fabulous with plenty to take home. One order was missing an ingredient but it was resolved immediately and with great charm. We love this place.

    Two couples for dinner. Lovely atmosphere and, best part, music and crowd noise were at a very reasonable level so that we could all actually talk without screaming. Drinks were good and food was tasty. Everyone was happy with what they ordered - both apps and mains. Service was a little uneven with server disappearing on a few occasions. But, overall, a very nice meal and experience. Will be back..........
