My Journey in the Restaurant Industry…read more
My name is Gursharan S. Gill, also known as Mr. Gill.
Working in the hotel and restaurant industry has been one of the greatest joys of my life. In 1982, I began my career as a server and bartender at the original Paparazzi restaurant on Dartmouth Street in Boston, Massachusetts, with the Back Bay Restaurant Group, Inc.
During my years with the Back Bay Restaurant Group, I had the privilege of working at several outstanding restaurants, including Paparazzi, Charlie's, Joe's American Bar & Grill, Atlantic Fish Company, and J.C. Hilary's. Each restaurant helped me grow professionally and gave me invaluable experience in hospitality, customer service, and teamwork.
In 2010, I joined Newport Restaurant Group, Inc., a company with a variety of outstanding restaurants throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts. There, I was given another wonderful opportunity--not only to continue my career but also to become an employee-owner. That opportunity truly changed my life.
Newport Restaurant Group is an exceptional company that genuinely cares about its employees. Since joining the company, I have spent most of my time working at Paparazzi in Wellesley, Massachusetts, where it has been an honor and a privilege to serve our guests.
The food at Paparazzi is exceptional. Many guests return time and again to enjoy favorites such as Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Piccata, Chicken Scaloppini, Pasta Bolognese, Penne Arrabbiata, Penne con Pollo, and many other outstanding Italian specialties. These are some of my personal favorites as well.
Every dish is prepared with great care and attention to detail by Executive Chef Carlos Medeiros and Regional Chef Guilherme Andrade, whose passion, creativity, and dedication are reflected in every meal they prepare.
Our General Manager, Christeen Coogan, works tirelessly to ensure that every guest has an exceptional dining experience. Her leadership, commitment, and attention to detail help make Paparazzi a warm, welcoming, and successful restaurant.
After more than four decades in the restaurant industry, I can truly say that hospitality is not just my profession--it is my passion. Meeting people from all walks of life, building lasting relationships with our guests, and making every dining experience memorable have been among the greatest rewards of my career.
If you truly appreciate authentic Italian cuisine, I warmly invite you to visit Paparazzi in Wellesley. I am confident that you will enjoy the delicious food, outstanding service, and welcoming atmosphere. I look forward to welcoming you personally.
Highly recommended!
With warm regards,
Gursharan S. Gill
