Papazzio Restaurant & Caterer

"5 stars all around, we had a party of 10 and made reservations a few days before."

"Love the vibe of the restaurant. I ordered House salad with balsamic vinaigrette(GF), and cappellini alla rosa con pollo which was delicious!! I just wanted to mention our server name Darius. He was so friendly and provide great service to us! It made us to go back again with our family and friends! Thank you !"

"The best place for gluten free food! My (now) husband and I were going Herr every year for our anniversary and decided we wanted to have a small wedding there last November. It was magical. Everything was perfect right down to the set up, the food, and the staff. They have me a dream mini wedding and we couldn't have been happier!"

"Delicious Italian food, great service. They have a few cajun dishes as well. Overall very good experience. Attention was on point. Will return and would recommend."

"We hired Papazzio's Catering for our August 1 wedding and it was the best decision we made. We were one of the couples whose wedding planning was impacted by COVID. We cancelled our larger venue wedding and planned a 45 person outdoor reception in my parent's backyard just 6 weeks before our wedding date. We were looking up wedding caterers in Queens on The Knot and Pappazzio's was one of the first that came up. What struck us as interesting was that the contact information was for the owner himself, Dominick, listed with his personal cell phone number. On a whim we called it and the rest, as they say, is history! Dominick was incredibly thorough, incredibly patient, and we knew immediately we had made the best choice. Not only did he put together every detail of the catering menu (passed hors d'oeuvres with a buffet dinner) but he made sure every detail he could possibly be involved in was perfect. He came to see our  location as soon as we had our initial sit down with him, measuring each of the rooms we'd use and ensuring his team and equipment would work. He provided suggestions on how best to set everything up given the limited space we had (and BOY did it look GOOD!), and on the day our party tent and rental company came to set everything up, he was with us for hours. He wasn't only checking the catering aspects but EVERY aspect. He helped us set up tables, he helped us measure everything to ensure we had proper social distancing, and he ensured he had the rental company's information in case there were any issues. Because NYC had just entered phase 4 the week of the wedding, we were still very concerned with safety protocol. His team wore masks and gloves the entire time.  The appetizers were all served in individual mini plates/cups so that no one would be touching another person's food. The buffet was all served by his team and we had hand sanitizer stations at the front of the buffet table so that all guests were as safe as possible. Once everyone had sat down with their first servings (and we think just about everyone went back for seconds it was so good!), Dominick went around to each table to ensure everyone's food was just right, asking if he could get anyone anything. His personal touch was felt by all. Guests at the party kept saying, "I never had to get up to refill my wine or champagne glass,  the staff always knew the right time to come and fill me up. They were there at the ready, but not in an invasive way". We had the very best wedding day and never had to worry about anything because of Papazzio's Catering and Dominick. We're so forever grateful."
