This Boston-based chain may have recently been partly or totally sold to a Rhode Island restaurant group, but nothing seems to have been lost in translation. We're from Boston and our friends are from southeastern Connecticut, so we settled on Papa Razzi at Garden City Shopping Center in Cranston as a convenient meeting spot for a casual Saturday evening dinner....

LOVE the ciabatta they serve with dinner. Classics like the chicken cutlet with lemon butter are up to par with the best smaller Italian restaurants in the state. A GREAT place to dine while you're shopping and even when you're not! OUTSTANDING and a great value!!

One thing people don't know is that Paparazzi is a true "made from scratch and made to order" restaurant, where you can even bring in your own recipe, if they have the ingredients, they will make it! I find that it is consistently good, it's good "American Italian" food and the portions are very healthy. There's a daily risotto special... More

First let me start off when this place first opened we could not of got enough. Eveything from the pizza to the entree, just good. Last year or two the food especially the pizza really took a hit, the restuarant has great potential, (total make over inside) and maybe going back to their roots of what once made them great.

We enjoyed another excellent lunch at Papa Razzi in Cranston, RI. It's one of our favorites. the freshly made bread sticks and butter can't be avoided; and the warm, fresh bread is sinful. For entrees, we both succombed once again to our favorite Scalopini Pollo ($15). It is an enormous serving of a single, breaded piece of chicken coated in... More

I was originally always turned off by this place b/c I am not traditionally in favor of chain restaurants. But my lunch here last week was amazing! We both tried daily specials and everything was very fresh and extremely good. Service was quick and our waitress was very friendly. I will definitely be returning.

The food is consistently very good, and freshly prepared. If they have the ingredients, they will make whatever you want. Pretty good for a " semi-chain" restaurant. The veal is particularly good, breaded in their grissini bread sticks. Nice thin crust pizzas, and some good pasta dishes. Salads also excellent, especially insalda de Charles. Nice atmosphere, lively and pleasing. I... More

I had the special for that day, It was the half chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The chicken was very moist and the au jus added just the right amount of flavor. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the Broccoli was cooked just right, not mushy but just a slight crunch and tender and flavorful. This is a nice... More

Papa razzi rates high on atmosphere and service. The waitress was fantastic and really loved the food she was serving. The location is great. Sitting on the patio on a nice day is perfect. The food has some flaws. We got the bruschetta. The bread underneath the tomatoes and cheese was really soggy. I got a risotto with salmon and... More
