This is a very authentic Italian restaurant in town. They have a great selection of wines and traditional Italian dishes like salads, baked eggplant, and pasta with chicken or beef. There is a bar area and a sit-down dining area for larger parties.

Almost 5 star, almost! I don't give away 5 star very often so dont take that as a negative. Fantastic restaurant. Prices were moderate. Food was very good. Service was impeccable.

Fresh bread and a small relish tray were brought to the table. I love olives so was very happy to see the tray. Given I don't live on a coast, I often look for seafood when i travel. They had Angry-Lobster on the menu. It did not dissapoint. Very sweet lobster, healthy portions, well prepared.

Laid back atmosphere and easy to have a conversation. Will eat here again when in the area. Great choice for dinner!

Good quality pizza. Sauce ok. Crust was fire created and had extra black on it from flame. Staff were friendly! Casual atmosphere! Small pizza is shareable!

Visited Papa Joe’s based on a friend’s recommendation. The food and services were superb. We were served by Michelle who was excellent and checked in on us every chance she had. The food was delicious, you know you have good homemade pasta when it’s light, delicious and doesn’t leave you feeling bloated afterwards.
Definitely recommend.

Dietary restrictions: You can mention your diet to your server and they will do their best to accommodate you. However if you are highly gluten sensitive, don’t pick Italian food.

Papa Joe’s is an excellent southern Italian restaurant. Very good food, a nice wine list and reasonably priced.

Kid-friendliness: The staff is very kind and patient. This is very much a family restaurant which young, middle and older clients frequent.

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is on one level and easily accessed from sidewalk.

By far my favorite place to eat. Last night I had Pork chop Scarpariello and it was the best I have ever had, the best. It was soft, tender and full of flavor. My God I was in heaven. Our waiter was very nice and fun to interact with as well. Don't miss this gem, you'll be sorry...

Old-school (in a good way)! Today is my baby bro’s birthday and he LOVED his lamb chop and calamari. Also tried my first tartufo - yum! Would definitely come back here to enjoy some more delicious gnocchi. Peace out. ✌️
