Ordered on doordash for the first time from this place…10/10 on quality and freshness and portions! Can’t wait to dine in next! You can taste “love and time” put into the sauce. Chefs kiss 🤌🏼

Very excellent pasta dishes. Always had a great meal there.

The customer service has plummeted in this place. I don’t know if there’s new owners or what since I never see him or her there but it definitely shows. The people working there are rude and mean. No idea why anyone would put up with that, especially the heavy set manager. Last time she was mad because it was too close to close. Made the food but definitely wasn’t happy about it. But I kinda understand that one. Everyone wants to go home at the end of the day. So to prevent that from happening again, my wife and I went 45 minutes before close and neither of us were ordering anything big and fancy. Well, I won’t make the mistake of bothering them with my order or money again. Should never feel unwelcome at a public restaurant EVER. Sad because Papa has some great food

Food is good but management is disappointing and disrespectful. I cannot believe owners treat their employees so poorly not the mention takes their entire tip and even if you give come back in and give someone a personal tip for helping out, the management thinks they have a right to take it.

My sister and her husband went here for their anniversary dinner and raved about the quality and quantity of the food. My husband and I decided to take our adult son there for lunch today (Sunday).

We were greeted warmly when we arrived and told we could sit wherever we wanted. Immediately another menu was brought to us along with wrapped flatware.

Once we decided on our orders, we placed them at the counter and paid. I got the Italian hoagie and a pepperoni roll to go, but my husband and son both got the sausage and pepper rolls, one with a salad, and the other with fries. That salad was quite generous and I sampled a fry to find it very tasty -- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and not at all greasy. My Italian sub was incredible! It was so delicious and fresh, but also quite generous. I could only finish half and I was STUFFED! Both my husband and son loved their sausage and pepper rolls and also said they were stuffed. We all skipped dinner tonight because we were still full! We also shared an order of peppers in oil with garlic knots. My goodness, they were the best peppers in oil I've ever had and a very generous serving!

I am so glad we went here and will definitely return for an evening meal some day!

I’m Italian from NYC and I’m telling you, I have never had chicken parm this good! The marinara is also amazing! I am going to try to recreate. And garlic knots…wow!

Smaller dining area but warm family feel, clean. Order at register, staff will bring your meal. Food is traditional, of excellent qualityand taste, reasonably priced. Staff is friendly and professional.

The way Italian food should taste! We have passed Papa Gege's multiple times when going to Boardman. Finally, we tried it & we were not disappointed. The salad had quality greens, tomatoes, olives, bell peppers, & croutons with their homemade dressing. My husband got blue cheese & I got ranch. We both enjoyed them. In addition to our pasta meal we also got 3 garlic knots. These are not the tiny garlic knots that you're used to getting. They were very good sized. Our son ordered a mini pepperoni roll which was filled with plenty of pepperoni & a slice of thin crust pepperoni pizza. The chef cooked them a little too long & were a little dark but he sent them out for our son to munch on. The pepperoni roll was still delicious & they gave a good size of marinara sauce for dipping. Shortly after, my son received a perfectly cooked pepperoni roll & slice of pepperoni pizza. Later, the chef came out & apologized to us about the overdone pizza & pepperoni roll. We were impressed he took the time to humble himself and acknowledge his mistake. My husband ordered beef ravioli & I ordered the spaghetti with bolegnase sauce & a meatball. All the food were good serving sizes & we took a few containers home. The servers of the restaurant were helpful & great! They were on top of getting food to us & clearing away plates and utensils. The soft drinks are serve yourself. We are continuously on the lookout for real cooked food, this is the place to go. Forget the chain restaurants-when you want great Italian food-go to Papa Gege's instead!
