I love this restaurant....we live close by and have never been disappointed. Well only because our discounts for Birthdays, anniversary's along with the initial VIP sign up expired way to soon after we received them. The people are awesome, food is awesome as with the atmosphere so no discount needed all is priced reasonable. Love the little shop next door to. Get your desert to go and enjoy sitting outside listening to the water on the patio.
Thank you again for a FABULOUS meal! We ordered take-out tonight for our family and it was delicious!!!

The atmosphere was friendly, decorations out of a storybook, charming gift shop and most importantly wonderful staff and Delicious meal. I will be back and recommend your restorante! �
Packed with people as they do weddings, parties, etc. - packed outside with people waiting to get in. However, they get you in fast. Food is awesome and plentiful. There is no way you are leaving hungry. Desserts are breathtaking. Waitress right on point.
The food is just superb. I love this food! The staff is friendly. The ambiance is great. I highly recommend this restaurant!
There were 9 of us for an early mothers day dinner, on a busy Friday night, with 2 small children. Our waitress was wonderful and took fabulous care of us. It was our first time so we were all excited to try everything. We were not disappointed! Our new favorite family spot. Thanks for making our evening special.
Love this place!! Friendly service with a smile and food that just comforts the soul! Always a happy family when we have Papa Joe's!
Excellence and Perfection at its finest. Joe is a great person and business owner.
My son lives in Brooksville,every time I come to visit we come to dinner there. The food is so very good.our wait staff is always great. I will be coming back again and again.
The food was amazing, the location was surprising as I never would have expected such a good restaurant in the middle of nowhere (well not really nowhere) but not really on the beaten path.
Been a few times and have never had as bad meal or service. I love this restaurant and would advise anyone looking for a great night out to go.
Papa Joe's is loved by locals and visitors alike. This is our family's special night out place. We also used Papa Joe's as the caterer for our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner. Never disappointed by the quality of the food or service.
I thought the good was great, and the staff was super friendly and eager to please! It was an excellent to meet up with friends!
Truly a local gem! As soon as you walk in you are enamored by the warm feeling of the Italian inspired decor. Staff is always professional, attentive and helpful. Lots of items on the menu including some “Papa Joe” signature dishes.
The serving sizes are plentiful and everything that I have had so far has been quite delicious. I’ve always been too full to try their desserts but, they looked quite scrumptious where they’re displayed at the front of the store.
The service is not only excellent in the restaurant but, also from a pickup service as well. My Company uses them to have meals boxed “to-go” for special business luncheons and our employees love it.
Definitely recommend!
A staple out where you wouldn't expect it. Excellent Italian food. Everything is great but make sure you start with their brusetta. Seriously. You are making a big mistake if you don't. They have been here forever. The owner Papa Joe is out in the evening checking on tables and making sure the food is up to snuff. Thats some dedication. Great place to celebrate an occasion or just get some great dinner. Highly recommend!
My family & I visited this restaurant since it's on our bucket list of places that we've seen from the road and wanted to try. Nothing can prepare you for how amazing this place really is! The atmosphere is top notch, and the decorations inside are so cute and vibrant! The menu has a wide array of delicious options for anyone craving authentic style Italian cuisine. I got the sampler which included a large meatball, baked ziti, sausage & peppers and stuffed shells. I can honestly say it's THE BEST stuffed shells I've ever had, and I will definitely be back for more!!!
This is a really good place to go for Italian cuisine with a rich atmosphere. When in Brooksville I'll hit this place up every now and then. While not quite a five-star place in my opinion... I wish I could give a 4.5 because it seems better than a 4. At any rate, they've got a good menu and all the dishes that I've had tasted great.
Fine Italian dining experience. If I could go back again I'd try the Lombardo. But what I got this time was the Chiken Parmigiana. It was a nice size chicken breast covered in cheese with a side of pasta and sauce. Not sure if it was pasta water or if the sauce was a little watery but I like a thicker sauce. My nephew got the spaghetti. And my mother got the Sausage and Peppers. She said the sausage was really tasty. I had the pasta Fagioli as an appetizer and it was good but the noodles were way past al dente. The garlic bread was hot and fresh from the oven and tasted amazing! The music set the mood for a relaxing environment. And the staff was friendly. I'd visit again.
Gnocchi with meat sauce was superb. The gnocchi are little pillows of heaven just as they should be. When they say meat sauce, it's more meat than sauce. Absolutely spot on! The basil was so fresh it almost slapped me. Portions are generous, this was two meals. The bruschetta with smashed olives and capers was a welcome new take I had not experienced before. Our server was lovely. Very clean and modern kitchen. Friend had seafood Lombardo which was equally amazing. I can't wait to go back.
Our first visit to Papa Joe's Italian restaurant. I ordered the lasagna ($13.90] and my husband got Chicken Soprano ($17.90), a breaded chicken breast with tortellini in a pecan cream sauce. We both added side salads for $1.99 extra. The service was great, food was okay. My husband grew up with an Italian family and he has yet to find a true Italian restaurant in this area to his liking.
My family and u visited tonight for the first time. For a busy Saturday night it went very smoothly. Our server (Barbara) was fabulous as was the food. Will definitely be back again.
