PAPAZZIO

Dominick opened Papazzio (which translates as ”father-uncle” in Italian) in 1990. The restaurant is named after Dominick’s uncle, Angelo, who owned and operated Angelo’s Beauty Salon at the same Bell Boulevard location for thirty years before retiring in 1989.

Food critics and customers alike call Papazzio ”Bayside’s treasure“ and ”Bayside’s best-kept secret.” Located at 40th Avenue and Bell Boulevard in Bayside, Queens, Papazzio has long been a favorite among locals. Our customers come from all over the tri-state area to enjoy a unique fusion of Northern and Southern Italian cuisine. Papazzio has also become known for its gluten free options. Over 95% of our dishes can be made gluten free. And we always take care to avoid cross-contamination when preparing gluten free dishes.
