Well I had not been here for 20 years and things have changed negatively. Pasta is homemade and good. Reduced cream used in soup and sauce. Everything is ala carte, even garlic bread which is $6.75 for very small, dry bread, sad. We won't go back as there are other options in the area that are better.

Paparazzi has become one of my favorite restaurants. Lovely ambiance, great food, reasonable prices. You gotta get the chocolate mousse for dessert!!!
Great food at reasonable prices with great service in an old school Italian restaurant.

Dined in last night, 12/22/2023 with a party of 3, was greeted by a delightful hostess that was charming along with a superb server who catered to our every need which included coming 6 times to give me delicious Peoria water. I commend the chef with the best veal parmigiana I have had in Illinois! Tender lightly breaded veal smothered with a delicious marinara accompanied with a delicious a la carte sauteed fresh zucchini. The ambiance is delightful not like other restaurants in the area where you feel like your crammed in like sardines and can't have a nice conversation like Rizzi's on Sheridan in Peoria. Make sure and call after 12 noon to make your reservations at Paparazzi's for a most delightful and delicious dinner. I can't wait to return and try out their Eggplant parmesan.

Vegetarian options: I had the gnocchi with gorgonzolla sauce, and it was amazing.
If you are looking to be wowed with large portions, a bustling atmosphere, and elaborate menu items, this is not the place for you. If you want quality entrees at a reasonable price, attentive staff, and a relaxing environment, then this is the spot.

This place is such hidden gem! The cheese calzone was the perfect size appetizer…and absolutely delicious. We had the linguine with clam sauce and eggplant parmigiana; each dish was wonderful. Portion size is also great. We had the cannoli and mousse for dessert! Perfect ending. The price for the whole meal was so reasonable. We’ll be back, often. *Reservations are recommended.
