Framingham gets the all New Papa Razzi

Framingham, MA – July 2008 – A landmark in Boston’s Back Bay dining scene, Papa Razzi is debuting its newly redesigned look and feel in Framingham. A sleek new design paired with delicious, fresh, quality ingredients and expert “made-to-order” preparation of favorite Italian dishes, make this brand new restaurant, opening on Thursday, July 24 on Route 9, the best new dining and social scene to hit the suburbs. The Back Bay Restaurant Group, Inc. chose this premier location at 155 Worcester Road in Framingham, just a stone’s throw from Natick Collection (the area’s glitzy new shopping center), to debut their new design concept.

 

The new Framingham restaurant encompasses a total transformation of the existing space, including a spacious private dining room which seats 50 guests as well as Papa Razzi’s first-ever separate take-out entrance, a great feature for lunch and dinner take-out that offers a convenient dining alternative for guests that are on-the-go.

 

“We are very excited to bring our sleek new design, fresh and delicious food, and great service to Framingham,” said Charles F. Sarkis, president and CEO of the Back Bay Restaurant Group. “Metro West residents are more sophisticated than ever and don’t want to sacrifice a city experience to dine closer to home. We are confident that our new design better reflects Papa Razzi’s clean, fresh food and our updated takes on traditional Italian favorites.”

 

Restaurant design firm Sousa Design has created a new look for the well known Papa Razzi brand.  The Framingham Papa Razzi will be the flagship for this new design direction which will include a dramatic exterior facade and sleek Italian lighting fixtures and furnishings.  The restaurant will feature a back-lit amber bar and a raised bar seating area, beautiful Venetian plaster wall finish, and rich Brazilian walnut flooring.

 

The Papa Razzi concept brings Italian cuisine to life with an eclectic mix of classic Italian and unique and exciting signature selections.  All of the dishes on Papa Razzi’s modern Italian trattoria menu are made-to-order using only the freshest ingredients available, including the best cheeses, olive oil, vegetables, meats and seafood. The authentic pasta dishes, delicious wood-fired thin crust pizzas, made-to-order paninis and salads, fresh seafood specials, scrumptious desserts and award-winning wine list have been pleasing guests for more than 20 years.  Papa Razzi is a much anticipated addition to Framingham.

 

With locations throughout New England, and in New Jersey, New York and Washington, D.C.’s Georgetown neighborhood, this will be the restaurant’s thirteenth location. Papa Razzi serves dinner daily, lunch Monday though Friday and brunch Saturday and Sunday.  The dining room seats 240 guests and the bar can accommodate 30 guests. Reservations are accepted by calling (508) 848-2300.  Papa Razzi is located along Route 9 at 155 Worcester Road in Framingham, Massachusetts.
