PAPARAZZI ITALIAN RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Darien

Overall Good experience. Pasta Fagiola Soup ( lots of tasty garlic slices ) and a tomatoes, cheese, veggies and olive salad were both very delicious. Halibut was cooked to the correct temp but it was kind of bland. Servers were excellent except one busser needs a little mgmnt - he took both sets of bread plates and utensil napkin rolls right as I sat down. Couldn't put the butter on my bread. My soup was delivered to my table- still no utensils or napkin. Had to get someone's attention and ask. Oddly, after my soup was finished- he came and cleared bowl and all 3 utensils before I could stop him...plus I wasnt sure if this was the standard for new utensils each course . My salad was then served on the table but again I had to get someone's attention for silverware in order to eat it. Actually became humorous! It is kind of a small dining area with the tables close together- so be ready for loud conversations within a foot to each side of you. The menu has lots of other excellent selections so definitely worth...

Went here for lunch for my birthday with my family, the manager lady was not only incredibly rude but had such an attitude with me but treated my parents perfectly normal. We ordered quite a bit of food including appetizers and entrees all but the avocado salad were horrible. My main dish which was a special called spaghetti Tuscan tasted like heavy cream drenched noodles with cubes of mozzarella, spinach, and tomato’s. I probably took 3 bites and couldn’t eat anymore because it physically made me feel sick to my stomach. The pizza quite literally tastes like Costco pizza which at a “ITALIAN” restaurant is not what you want or not what you’re paying for. Overall I would not go here again despite my parents and family friends coming here in the past...

We love the Chicken Francese and the Mitty on the pasta menu! They also have arguably the BEST CEASAR SALAD in CT. Hand down!

It always a safe choice to bring friends here or family because the menu...
