We had a great meal. Red snapper, shrimp scampi, scallops and chicken parmigiana. All were excellent. Service was great. It was noisy but we could still hold a conversation. Will definitely go again.

The food and service are consistently wonderful. We have been coming to Papa Razzi for many years and really enjoy it. Our server Gil is always on top of things and always makes us feel at home. Similarly, manager Brenda greeted us and always welcomes us and drops by to say hello during the course of meal. Overall, a great experience.
