We've been wanting to try Papazzio for a while since the reviews were so good but unfortunately, the food was disappointing. We ordered the tomato & mozzarella and it was dry, tasteless that I had to ask for balsamic vingrette. Then we had the shrimps with prosciutto and it was a bit bland. We also had their Antipasto and the only thing was okay, was their fried calamari. For our entrees, we had the linguine vongole with white wine sauce, it was a bit bland as well but they did give a lot of clams. My husband had the lamb chops, it was okay but he even said he had better. Our friend had the cheese ravioli with bolognese sauce and she said it was not a big deal. Unfortunately, we thought the best part was the tiaramisu and that was probably it. We didn't even get bread for the table and we saw others had bread. We didn't even bother asking. Would we come back again? Definitely a no. We were very disappointed in the food. We had such high expectations for this restaurant too. Sorry but just being honest since we've been to many restaurants before and the purpose of a feedback is to leave an honest review for improvement of the restaurant. Thank you.

What exactly is an administrative fee that appears in the bill? That is on top of the price difference for credit cards; which unfortunately seems to be the norm now. Food was very good. Nose level was comfortable when we first got there, but became very loud later when the restaurant was fully occupied
