Papazzio's - Bayside

Very delicious food and amazing flavors. I love the outside seats. Very good heating and service. Absolutely love their shrimps duck and fruit raspberry tart!

We had my grandmother's birthday dinner here and it was absolutely perfect. The staff was super friendly in taking food allergies, arranged the tables as we wanted them and were easy to work. The food was excellent, we loved all the options on the menu and the people were super happy with their meals. The room is intimate, but there was enough room for people to walk around and mix. They also offer a cake for the occasion and it was delicious! I'm really happy about how the event went and I think it's a perfect place for anyone who wants to plan an event without trouble or trouble. Will definitely book the restaurant again for future functions.

Dominick was recommended to us in summer 2021 by our food career to treat our bar needs for our wedding and we could not have been happier. Dominick and his team did such a great job. He worked with us to design a bar that matches our wishes with our budget. He helped us with a cocktail for cocktail hour and reception. They also offer a full bar with a wonderful selection of wines and beer. Dominick was always there before, during and after the wedding to borrow a hand and a chip wherever he could. He treated us like family to make sure we had exactly what we wanted and that we were happy. Dominick was looking high and low for a certain brand of Tequila that my wife and I really liked and wanted for our signature cocktail. He could only find 1 bottle of it. But he presented us his alternative recommendation and we could make a tasting with him. He went beyond and beyond to get what we wanted and then found an alternative that worked even better than our first choice. We recommend Papazzio for any event you can have. P.S. His restaurant (Papazzio Bayside, NY) is also amazing. We ate there after the meeting with him and the food was fantastic. Service was great and very welcoming.

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.

I enjoyed some delicious Italian cuisine accompanied by great service. They also offer a few Cajun dishes. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The staff was attentive and provided excellent service. I will definitely return and recommend this restaurant to others.
