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.

    The food at Apapa Joe’s is top notch. I am a veal parmigiana fan, but Papa Joe’s does not have any veal dishes. That would be my only complaint.

    The tomato sauce on the gnocchi was too acidic. They very nicely offered to switch it out to the creamy Romano sauce. It was great! Pasta Fagiol and Lentil soups were excellent ! Vegan options very nice. Pizza was superb!

    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.
