Papa Joe was raised on the mountainside of Palermo, Italy. As a child, Joe and his mother would walk their tiny town daily, collecting ingredients from the local farms for the family's supper table. He learned from Mommy a passion for hard work an a love for great food. Joe's other love Momma Donna, grew up in South Florida. She appreciates the value of locally grown produce and fresh ingredients. Together, Joe and Donna have developed an amazing menu where Italian heirloom meets southern hospitality. We count it a Blessing to have you as a guest at the restaurant supper table or outside on the beautiful covered Al Fresco Papa's Patio.

We met a couple from Orlando for dinner. We live in North Tampa. This is a good halfway point for us. Three ordered chicken piccata and everyone loved it. I ordered the large antipasto salad with Gorgonzola. It was very large and very good, but a little pricey. We probably should have ordered first and shared. Service was outstanding. This wasn’t our first visit since we’ve been coming for 20+ years and we will be back.

I always have a delicious meal here and always run into someone I know. If you eat here once, you will return again and again and not only enjoy delicious, fresh food, with original recioe specials, but will probably develop another network of friendships, too!
