This was our first time dining at Papa Razzi, and it was a great experience. We enjoyed it so much that we’ve already made a reservation to come back on February 14th.
We had Mr. Gil as our bartender and server, and he was an absolute delight. His compassion for his work and the pride he takes in his many years with restaurant stood out. He’s a real asset to the team, and it was a pleasure meeting him

Paparazzi has been my family’s favorite Italian restaurant for many years. We used to go to their Chestnut Hill and Back Bay locations when they were open a long time ago, which we miss so much! The Wellesley location is spacious, the staff is friendly, food is flavorful, great portions, entrees can be made gluten free, and overall it never disappoints us. Also, please consider offering gluten free focaccia.

Came here for a work event, and the place itself was really pretty, and the service was great. The entrees were really good: crab cake bites and mushroom bites. I also liked the Caesar salad; all the combinations were really well mixed. I ordered the chicken piccata, and it was really good; the chicken Parmesan was good too. For dessert I got a tiramisu, which was good, and I also tried the chocolate mousse cake, I just took a few bites as it got overwhelming.

We were with a group of over 100 but we were dinning separately in the regular dinning area. Our service was done very well. The food was excellent! You could tell there was a large group in the private dinning room of over 100 people. They all very much enjoyed their meals also.

We just celebrated new year’s eve dinner here. It was our first time visiting and we came with our almost 5 yr old daugther. Our server Jen was impeccable. She was very attentive, warm and kind especially to our daughter. We ordered mussels, pear salad, salsiccia pizza, bronzino and chococlate cake. They were all prepared to perfection. We will definitely be returning again soon. Thank you Jen for making our dinner so special!!

I really enjoy dining at this restaurant. The service is always great, the food arrives quickly and tastes delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere. It’s easily one of the top ten restaurants in Boston — highly recommended!

We enjoyed our dinner time here! First impression, the host was very friendly (that’s super rare to see nowadays…).
Our server, Mariana, she definitely made our night! I am a vegetarian and did not see anything specification on the menu about vegetarian dishes. Mariana was super helpful to make several trips to double check with the kitchen, I ended up having the ’Penne con pollo’ without chicken and subs with grilled eggplant, it was definitely one of the BEST pasta dish I ever had!! I’m super grateful for the flexibility in accommodating my diet needs.
We can’t recommend the pasta dishes enough! The texture of the pasta was cooked to perfection. The taste was very well-balanced. One unexpected thing was— even the complimentary starter bread with olive oil and vinegar tasted phenomenal!!!
There are plenty of parking spots at the rare, that’s super helpful especially during the busy time.
Will definitely be back, looking forward to trying some authentic Italian pizza!!

Good location with a reasonable amount of parking in the back of the restaurant. Small menu but sometimes that is a good thing. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My bone-in pork chop was cooked properly. Chicken soup was excellent. The pastas were good but not great. A little pricey. Wait staff very friendly and efficient.

Wonderful setting. Family friendly, both indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean and excellent food and service. The bar and restaurant combination is great and you can see your food being prepared. We asked the staff and out ginger beer, not knowing what it was. In two minutes they fount out and explained.

The food is quite good. I feel like I’m in Europe and the service good. The waiter was very attentive. I like to reserve a space by the fireplace in the winter. I was introduced there by an office party in the food was fresh and delicious. Paparazzi is a classy place in good value for the money. I was at the one in Wellesley. And use it for special occasions.
