    Papazzio is a favorite of ours! It’s a pretty restaurant that feels special as soon as you walk in. The food is excellent and most things can be made gluten-free. This is especially important when we come with our relative who has celiac disease. We highly recommend it!

    Went with an old friend to talk and I had heard good things. Service was very good but the food wasn’t. The linguini with white clam sauce was a bit bland and the pasta was overcooked. The two clams in the shell should have been perfect rather than broken shells. The Caesar salad didn’t seem to have freshly made dressing or croutons. My friends chicken parm looked dry. Also, I know they took a bit from the pandemic but two prices on menu, one for cash and one for credit is tacky. The prices are high for what you get. I said Hapoy Holidays to the staff on way out and they said Merry Christmas which is rude. I don’t celebrate Christmas. That whole made up BS about disliking Happy Holidays has to stop!

    We've been wanting to try Papazzio for a while since the reviews were so good but unfortunately, the food was disappointing. We ordered the tomato & mozzarella and it was dry, tasteless that I had to ask for balsamic vingrette. Then we had the shrimps with prosciutto and it was a bit bland. We also had their Antipasto and the only thing was okay, was their fried calamari. For our entrees, we had the linguine vongole with white wine sauce, it was a bit bland as well but they did give a lot of clams. My husband had the lamb chops, it was okay but he even said he had better. Our friend had the cheese ravioli with bolognese sauce and she said it was not a big deal. Unfortunately, we thought the best part was the tiaramisu and that was probably it. We didn't even get bread for the table and we saw others had bread. We didn't even bother asking. Would we come back again? Definitely a no. We were very disappointed in the food. We had such high expectations for this restaurant too. Sorry but just being honest since we've been to many restaurants before and the purpose of a feedback is to leave an honest review for improvement of the restaurant. Thank you.

    The house salad, eggplant parm, salmon, and cheesecake was delicious! Our waiter was very attentive and courteous. Overall, a wonderful evening!! (Note: gluten-free pasta on the menu!)
