   We come here atleast once a month. Decided to try the patio because it was a beautiful night. The server seemed very over worked. He only had 2 tables when we were seated. Other people arrived after us and he served them first. We ordered and our order was wrong. It was not what we have come to expect here. Hoping when we go back and sit inside it will be better.

   Our favorite restaurant in Akron with Italian food, steaks, prime rib, salmon …….are all great and the prices are reasonable for a full meal. Lori the bar tender makes a great pear martini. It is a smart casual restaurant inside that serves a mature clientele.

    We went for Mother’s Day lunch. Everyone was super friendly and we were taken to our table as soon as we walked in the door! One of the few places that a reservation is actually a reservation. Service was prompt and attentive.. but not over the top. We had ample time to eat our salad and our delicious food was delivered soon after our salad was finished. I had the 8oz filet… it was awesome. My mom had turkey dinner, special for the day, and my wife enjoyed prime rib, exactly as she ordered it. The petite prime rib was more than she could eat. I highly recommend.

    This is a long-time family favorite restaurant and we often dine here for special occasions. It was far less crowded than I would have expected on Mother's Day. We were seated promptly (which was wonderful and unexpected,) and the hostess remarked that it was a "nice, quiet table." A few minutes later a very large party was seated right next to us and made it difficult for us to converse for the rest of the meal. The appetizers (classic "bean salad" and sauerkraut balls) were good, served quickly. The dinners were also hot, but the green beans were not well-cooked and tasted like they were microwaved (rubbery, watery.) Chicken parm was good, the lamb was just OK. Turkey dinner was reliable, although we had to ask for extra gravy (what was served was hardly even visible.) Overall, the menu choices seemed limited. Generally, the food was not what we might have expected. On a positive note, the server was just great -- promptly managed any of our requests and was very timely and helpful. Kudos for retaining such great waitstaff - perhaps take some time to upgrade the kitchen help. We'd like to see Papa Joe's be around for a long time.

    We visited Papa Joe’s for Mother’s Day and the experience was wonderful. It’s been several years since we’ve been to Papa Joe’s and it looks like they’ve renovated. Our food was amazing and the service couldn’t have been better. We will definitely keep them in mind for future special occasions!

    This is a great restaurant! We ordered Calamari, they were tender and lightly breaded. I ordered the lasagna and my husband had the chicken Marsala. They were both delicious. The portions are generous but not overwhelming. Our server was very pleasant and took great care of us.

    From the moment I reserved a table online to the check out everything was a no hassle experience. We stopped in the wine shop next door for a bottle to enjoy with dinner and the young man immediately greeted us and made a nice recommendation. Veronica was an attentive server who frequently checked on us. Food was piping hot and served in a timely manner. Overall, I had a delicious, relaxing dinner. Don't know why some reviews said the prices were too much. Good value for what you get.

    We have lived in the area for awhile but have never been. I'm so glad we went. Food was delicious, service was the absolute best I have had in probably over two years. Since Covid I set my expectations low for service and I get it there is a staffing shortage, but walking into this place you wouldn't even know it. Food was excellent. Calamari is the best I've had in quite some time. We will definitely be back.

    We have dined at Papa Joes many times. Everything starting with the drive thru the CVNP to the dining experience is lovely. Great service, real tasty traditional Italian food and real bargain wine from the retail price wine shop makes this a must stop for the wine lover.

    Had Easter dinner here because I saw they were offering a menu of traditional (to me) holiday entrees - ham, turkey, and lamb along with some of their usual dinners. Very glad we did! One thing that no one seems to mention about Papa Joe’s is their strong wine list at extremely reasonable prices. Because they have an Italian market on-site that sells wine, they serve those same wines to diners *at retail*!

    This turned out to be a perfect choice for Easter with my 85 year old mother, my husband and me. We were seated early, had excellent service, food came out quickly and was excellent and a good value. We had the ham, turkey and prime rib dinners and all enjoyed our meals. Would highly recommend eating here!
