Dessert was served as brownie sundae with gelato and it was equally not that great, very hard brownie and sauces that tasted like they were from a jar. Filet was just average as well which I was surprised at and it had areas of tough pieces. Entrees came out hot, servings were a bit skimpy and biting into the red potatoes which were overcooked and the very limp broccoli and then taking a bite of the small piece of veal scallopini I was not overly impressed, it was just ok, a bit overcooked and tough and I was a bit surprised that this was the same food as the delicious fried mozzarella we just finished. Food was served timely, waitstaff here was ok, our server could of been a tad bit friendlier and was all business but it was fine. We started out with fried mozzarella which was delicious and opted for the Veal Scallopini and Filet. Extensive wine and cocktail lists and even a small menu for the kids. Menu here is standard selection of Italian dishes, standard appetizers and entrees.
The service here started off slow but picked up quite a bit and the two managers visible in the dining room checked in on us on two occasions which was decent. The entrance and hostess station here is an odd setup which leaves very little room for waiting patrons and is adjacent to the seating so cold drafts enter the dining room and tables are set up in the walking path of patrons entering. Place was very crowded since it was Saturday, parking lot is very large and interior here is decorated quite nice with cool light fixtures etc. the river, hardly noticeable and is quite a large location. First off, this location sits in Wellesley Falls area of downtown Wellesley off Route 9 and is tucked away to the right near. Overall Papa Razzi is consistently ok Italian food however it is not the greatest and never will be for a few reasons. It is a lot of work to put something like this together and I never would’ve wasted my time More I would warn you against putting your trust in the event planner for paparazzi an Wellesley This clearly was not the way she presented initially Instead I got a very generic unsympathetic response saying that without the contract there’s no hold That she should have called or emailed me immediately to tell me that someone else was interested in that date I finally called and spoke to the manager who got in touch with her and she called me back to tell me that the date had been takenĪnyone who is ever done any kind of event planning knows that with or without a signed contract, given the clear dedication that I had to working out the details and the fact that she assured me I had time, I left messages saying that I wanted to finalize everything And also wanted to see if the buffet option had opened up Then I tried to reach her on several occasions over a few weeks and she did not get back to me She said she did not think that would be a problem and I assumed that meant that if someone else were interested in my date she would give me a heads up Our last communication was when I asked if I could give it a couple of weeks to see if the Covid restrictions would be lifted and I could do a buffet which was my preferred planĪt the time, only plated meals were offered I expressed the fact that I definitely wanted to do it there on the day that we had agreed upon but I hadn’t yet put the money down or signed the contract We discussed all the details regarding the date, time, food, costs and I visited the site again booked the event last year and it was cancelled because of Covid I was communicating directly on multiple occasions with the events planner and she knew I have planned many many family and friends events and many reunions for other people Restaurants for Special Occasions in Wellesley.Restaurants for Group Dining in Wellesley.Best Udon & Soba (Wheat & Buckwheat Noodle) in Wellesley.Middle Eastern Restaurants in Wellesley.American Restaurants for Families in Wellesley.Hotels near (PVD) Theodore Francis Airport.Hotels near Wellesley College Greenhouses.Hotels near Davis Museum At Wellesley College.Hotels near Massachusetts Horticultural Society's The Gardens at Elm Bank.
