" Last month, we visited Paparazzi Italian Restaurant for a special date night. The atmosphere was beautiful – low lighting and lovely murals created such a romantic setting. Our server was friendly and made excellent recommendations, guiding us to share the antipasti platter which was superb! For main dishes, I ordered the fettuccine alfredo, while my partner had the ravioli. Both were delightful, though I found the fettuccine slightly oily. Still, the dessert – a rich cannoli – made up for any flaws in the main course! An enjoyable evening overall, and we will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The meal at Paparazzi was delightful, apart from a slight hiccup with service early on. My partner and I went for dinner and started with the tomato basil soup, which was creamy and flavorful. I chose the risotto for my main course, and I have to say, it was one of the best I've had! However, my partner didn't enjoy the chicken piccata as much, saying it felt a bit dry. Despite the unevenness in the meal, the cozy interior and friendly staff made the evening enjoyable. I’d definitely give it another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Paparazzi Italian Restaurant for a special family dinner, and it didn't disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt inviting and warm. The homemade pasta they serve is genuine, and the flavors were spot on! I particularly enjoyed the lobster ravioli, which was rich and flavorful. The only downside was that the portions could have been a bit larger given the prices. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. I will surely come back next time I'm in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Paparazzi has all the charm you expect from an Italian restaurant! The atmosphere was inviting and warm. I enjoyed their risotto which was cooked to perfection, but I was a little let down by the service, which took a while to catch our attention. The food made up for that aspect with its authentic flavor and presentation. I think they need to fine-tune their service a bit, but overall, my experience was positive! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve just come back from my visit to Paparazzi, and I wanted to share how nice the evening was! The staff was super friendly and made it a personal experience. I ordered the seafood pasta, and it was cooked just right! The only downside was that I felt the portions were a little on the smaller side compared to the price. Regardless, I really enjoyed my meal and would likely return to explore other options on the menu. Highly recommend it if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an enjoyable meal at Paparazzi! The décor alone transports you to a quaint Italian eatery, which I loved. The caprese salad we had was incredibly fresh, with quality ingredients. However, I ordered the carbonara, and it was a bit too rich for my taste. The service was pleasant overall, but our waiter could have been a little more knowledgeable about the menu. I would come back for the ambiance and to try some new dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed my first visit to Paparazzi! The ambiance was charming, capturing that Italian essence beautifully. The staff was friendly, and my pasta dish was delightful, although I felt it could use more seasoning to elevate the flavors. Still, it was satisfying and filling. I’d come back to try more on the menu, as I’ve heard fantastic things about their pizzas as well. Overall, a pleasant dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
