Pappazio - Bayside

A great place to eat.. I had a really nice time here,and I can't wait to come back again. The food was excillence, and the serving was good.

A Gem. This is a neighborhood gem. I have been going there for years. The food is great and the owner is wonderful always there to greet you and make sure everything is to your likeing. Thursday nite is jazz and you couldn't ask for a better place to be. Now on sundays they are serving brunch and you can't get any better. If you try this place you will be hooked.

Fine Italian Fare with customer participation. Papazzio seems to have everything right. The Viktuals are mostly delicious. The cocktails are inventive and very potent. The desserts and special coffee are excellent meals. The service I received was no less than attentive and gracious. Why only 78% of admission at the time of this letter? Call me mystified. The restaurant has special meals and entertainment evenings. Papazzio goes out to cultivate a loyal clientele. With free bread, Papazzio serves a hummus with olive oil and ground black pepper, which is addicted. My favorite dishes are the gnocchi bolognese, sweet potato gnocchi, and rigatoni gorgonzola con gamberi. A Macchiato and a Tartufo is my idea of a big final.

This place is from this world. I've read all reviews and I have a hard time to believe some of what I've read. Either they have the wrong restaurant or they're just defensive. Papazzio is from this world. I've been here for years and here are some things I love in this place that separates it from all the others. The atmosphere is perfectly beautiful romantic candle illuminated table setting. The waiting staff and bartender are more mature and professional than what you get in most restaurants. Dominick the owner is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met, he is NOT shocked, as some others wrote, he is not full of himself. Dominick goes waaaayyyyy out of his way for his customers, and he really takes care of all. Most restaurants you go to the owner are sitting at the bar and collecting the money, NOT SO HERE. Dominck is GENUINE. The food quality is excellent, I have a taste for high quality food and what you get at Papazzio. The cook has excellent quality, recipes and sauces. Proper etiquette is used during dinner by the staff and you will give the feeling satisfied. Even I had made Papazzio my wedding and what they did until today, blows me away. OUTSTANDING RESTAURANT!

What a gem. I ate a fabulous dinner with my wife last night. Ambiente is great, wonderful decor and soft music. Our meals were absolutely delicious, our salads were fresh and ducks were cooked for perfection. The timing of the portion was perfect, the salads came shortly after the order, the participants came after just enough time to dip a little bread in a delicious garlic butter/oil mixture and enjoy a sip of wine. Server was very pleasant and attentive, checked several times for us and kept our water glasses full at any time. Prices are reasonable in view of such a wonderful experience. Will definitely go back. Note a sign promotion 10.00 Pasta Night and 1⁄2 price bottles of wine on Tuesdays and Sundays, must return and try that. Really a jewel on Bell Boulevard, highly recommended. You have an A rating right in the window.
