About this restaurant

Papa Joe's is currently undergoing construction and will be closed temporarily. Please make sure to check back often! We look forward to serving you soon!!




Papa Joe"s Italian Restaurant has been a family tradition for 30 years.



Papa Joe has personally constructed a diverse menu to fit anyone and everybody's taste buds, and each dish is prepared to order 'justa for you'. Whether you are looking for an aged tender steak, fresh seafood, or are in need of a carb fix, we got it! From the beginning, Papa Joe has prided himself in using the freshest and most whole ingredients available. In fact, many of the herbs we use are picked fresh from our herb garden and all of our dough is made on premises with a healthy blend of semolina and stone ground wheat.

    Stopped on our way home from Tampa after reading their menu online. We enjoyed our dining experience, but the food was only okay. At least it was hot! Veggie choices were lacking and the over-breaded eggplant left a lot to be desired.

    Our extended family and friends really enjoy Papa Joes - usually monthly. Food quality is excellent. Portions seemed a little smaller this time. Most notable, the service was not so good. I got my dinner, close but not what I ordered. Rest of the service was friendloy but slow.

    No fancy presentations, just high quality food. If you crave italian, then try Papa Joe's. You won't be disapointed.

    Barbara, our server, made our first visit to Papa Joes a nice evening. She was helpful and friendly while guiding us through the menu. The food was good and plentiful. We met Papa Joe on the way out and he was gracious, thanking us for our visit. My wife and I left, feeling like we just had a night out at a friend's house. We will definitely return.

    Always welcomed by Papa Joe and his staff. We celebrated our five-year-old's birthday and Papa Joe's is her favorite Italian restaurant. Never been disappointed with a choice off the menu!

    The blackened salmon was good, but the marinara sauce was pretty bad. The wine that I ordered was one that I've had before, and it tasted nothing like the one I had at home. Either the bottle had been open way too long (didn't exactly taste like that though) or they just used a cheap house wine instead. The espresso tasted like instant coffee.

    The service or at least our server was not attentive. The food was mediocre at best for the prices they are charging.
