Papeno's is located behind a gas station outside of Marengo Caverns on Highway 64. Â It is a mobile home trailer and has a tanning salon in the back. Â Weird, huh?
Â
I wanted to get lunch while my husband toured the cave.  Half a dozen Formica tables, a  beverage cooler and the cooking area take up the entire space.  I figured the food would be mediocre but I was wrong.
My 12" pizza was thickly covered with vegetables per my request. Â It was light on sauce and crispy. Â Steve's to go 6" turkey bacon sub sandwich was also reportedly excellent. Â The food and 3 canned sodas came to $20.00.
Don't pass this little gem based on looks alone. Â The food is worth the stop.
