Fantastic food and great service. Would be 5 stars easily, but the ambiance is lacking since it’s a former bank and it still feels like it in the dining room. The other issue is the hours. They close somewhat early for a dinner restaurant which was kind of awkward when we were taking a colleague out after work.

Take your hubby on a date night was a success! Hubby picked Papa Joe’s! All about trying new foods and supporting local businesses. I’m a huge alfredo junkie, but to my surprise no alfredo. Soooooo, I settled for chicken parm! What a great dish! Enough food for the both of us lol yummy! Hubby got lasagna, ate every bit! Our server was quick, friendly & knowledgeable about the menu! Thanks, Papa Joe’s!

For her birthday, my better half wanted to try something new for dinner, and I happened to find Papa Joe’s. As we drove up to the restaurant, it sure didn’t look like much from the outside—a former bank based on the looks of it. But inside is tastefully decorated and certainly feels like an Italian restaurant. For our first experience, I have to say we were quite impressed! The prices were reasonable for the portions we received—I left satisfied with the portion size (which is very rare given I’m a big guy) and my better half was pleased to have leftovers, both in terms of quantity and something she’d actually want to eat again later. We were also impressed with the attentiveness of the service, and particularly for dining on a Friday evening, I was very impressed with the efficient pace of our meal. Drinks and bread came quickly (including refills on both) as well as the salad / soup course, and then the main course. At so many restaurants lately it seems like things take an inexplicably long time, and also in many restaurants lately they bring everything out at once leading to your eating food that is no longer hot like it should be (instead of bringing bread and drinks, then salad / soup, then the main course, allowing you to finish one thing before being presented with the next). I ordered the Chicken French and my better half enjoyed a dinner special—based on how much we liked the food and the service, we both are looking forward to dining at Papa Joe’s again soon!

I usually don’t dine out. But I had just spend four days in the hospital with a clear-liquids diet so I was desiring something that’ll feel satisfying. Not only was the staff here above and beyond attentive, never once did I see anyone without a smile, our waitress was so welcoming and proactive with any refills, I not only left with a happy full-feeling, but with a large smile as well for service like this is VERY hard to come by. The food was beyond flavorful and plentiful. A dinner will fill up two grown men’s appetite FYI, expect leftovers. It’s no surprise the amount of accolades this restaurant has and earning more I doubt will be an issue.

The chicken parm is so goood! Melted cheese and perfect sauce ! I ordered take out and everything was hot and delicious. Would recommend the New England Clam Chowder on a Friday, better than most around the area! Will most certainly be reordering again.

The pasta is fresh, the tomato sauce is made perfectly, and the staff are friendly, expedient, and happy when the guests enjoy their meals. A must try for Italian favorites. Plenty served to take home for the next day. So grateful to find this place.
