Normally good but tonight's water downed sauce and extremely poor service disappointed us. Server basically ignored us early on, had to ask about salads we ordered, bread, and server acted like everything fine. We like quaint atmosphere and were friends with Eddie (owner that passed). He probably turned over last night. What a great guy he was!
Review Source:Papa Joe's is a Cape Coral staple that's been in this town for as long as I've been visiting (20+ years). It is a solid go-to place when you want to sit down and have an Italian meal or pizza with a glass of wine or a beer. They have great garlic rolls - freshly made topped with grated cheese and serve wine by the carafe, glass or bottle. I always have their fried calamari appetizer with a salad or a small pasta as my meal and I always leave with leftovers. Papa Joe's salad is delicious - a chopped salad served with chopped ham, chopped cheese, chopped tomatoes, chopped olives, chopped onions - all in a delicious vinegarette. Stick with "pizzaria type" specials like baked ziti, shrimp parm, chicken parm - once you get into the "special meals" that are non-red sauce based - they're not that great.
Pizza served in house is great. As is their straciatella soup. Stay away from the pasta fagiole - unless you like pepperoni in it.
ALWAYS PACKED on Friday, Saturday nights so get there early or be prepared to wait. Very casual place - good for groups and/or kids - they have crayons right on the tables. Reasonable prices - they finally take Visa (no amex). Also no dessert served here either.
Just ok.... Less than average. I carried out while staying in Cape Coral. The pizza was soggy. The crust was good, but the sauce had no flavor at all. I think the sauce was from a can. They could have used some oregano. The veggies tastes fresh, but doesn't make up for the rest. We also had a greek salad. The FETA was great! Â Very creamy. It's hard to screw up salad, so.... Overall I would probable not go back. Run of the mill.
Review Source:Had the pleasure of eating here twice in the last few days. The pizza is good with quality toppings. Service was good as well. The caesar salad tastes like it is "out of the bag" with off-the-shelf croutons and a dressing that is very bland. The winner was the rolls. I have had better dinner rolls (Ippolitos in Atlanta) but not by much and the extra dessert rolls served at the end of the meal were a great surprise.
Review Source:This is a great little Italian place, my girl friend and I were looking for a local spot for good Italian food and this is it. She even gave it great reviews and she's 100% Italian. The only complaint we had was an extremely loud group sitting in the middle of the place being obnoxious. Outside of that the food was great, the service was polite and attentive, and the prices were more than fair. The portions were large enough to feed us both twice.
Review Source:Welcome to Cape Coral's best cheap Italian! Went there for lunch and tried the baked pasta and the pizza, both of which were excellent. The best part was the price, got out of there for less than $15, including food and beers for two. Service was also excellent. Remember, its cheap Italian, so manage your expectations, but overall was excellent food for the money.
