I've been to this restaurant a few time sin the past. This time, it was not a great experience. It felt like the tables were so close together that waiters/servers were constantly bumping into us. It was very loud to the point you felt like you were yelling to communicate. And to top it off, our waitress was not the greatest (forgot to take drink orders, tells me the Veal Picatta is out at a 6:30PM and when I leave the restaurant I see others getting Veal Picatta).

Papa Razzi is a longtime family favorite particularly at their now shuttered Burlington location. They have recently refreshed their menu to include a variety of new choices. All of our entrees were excellent!

I love Papparazi because we feel at home. The servers are always super personable, especially Liza, and the food comes out fast and delicious. The plates are always plentiful. The bread is probably the best in the Boston area btw. Kudos also to Sam in the bar. Thanks to all the staff for making us always feel at home and comfortable, even when we have big tables and picky eaters.

We had another great meal at Papa Razzi in Wellesley. This visit we had the special Dine Out Boston menu, which was both a great value and offered some dishes not on the regular menu. My friend has a gluten allergy, and they were careful to make sure everything she received was gluten free, including a gluten free roll to start the meal. The portions were large for us, so we did have some take home packages. Our waiter also did a great job checking in on us, and spacing out our courses.

Not a good meal…skimpy on protein and veggies, using lots of pasta instead. Asked for air conditioning to be turned off twice, but didn’t happen so my husband was really uncomfortable. Expected better from Papa Razzi.
