Papa's Italian - Prescott

We drove an hour and a half to taste this Italian restaurant and it was worth the ride. the food was excellent and the service was the best we had in a long time. the atmosphere is warm and cozy as they would expect in a mom and pop restaurant. the two pictures I published, one is of the lasagne and the other of the chicago style deep teller pizza. both were very delicious! I suggest that they try this place and if they make sure that a reservation because they fill quickly! Finally, come early because parking is a challenge. there is no parking space only street parking.

It was a fabulous experience! mama gave samples of her minestrone soup. lasagna is the best I ever had. drinks are stiff eating is fabulous and it's just great? is it a family-affair and amazing?

The best place to eat in the city of prescott! aaron was our server and he was absolutely amazing. we were greeted by the time when we sat in our chairs as family. all server were friendly and attentive. I had the creamy pesto that was perfect. very reasonable prices. we will definitely come back!

Very nice Italian. cozy place to sit, large portions for a reasonable price. cannelonni with ricotta and meat was delicious. mamas meatball is highly recommended. beautiful large meatballs with a lot of taste

One of the best dining experiences we had on our trip to Prescott. Food was FABULOUS. Service was friendly and FABULOUS. Ambiance was FABULOUS. Food was an amazing VALUE. When asking a few people where the best ITALIAN FOOD was in Prescott, the universal answer was Papa?s. It was a short drive from our Airbnb and parking was simple. It was down the street from Peregrine Books, a fantastic little book store we went to earlier in the week. Before I describe the food, please know that reservations are suggested, especially on weekends or peak times. Okay, this is all for my public service announcements. Now on to the food: Bread complimentary, hard crust served with soft butter. Minestrone Soup complimentary, brought out by Mama herself. Delightful soup with diced vegetables, rolled pasta and sausage. It is a good way to start a meal. It takes her 3 hours just to simmer it each day. Caesar Salad good, really good, but maybe a little more cheese than I am used to. Still ate all of it. Chicken Prosciutto lightly breaded chicken, topped with prosciutto, cheese and served over pasta with Alfredo. My son would not share and the portions were huge. Portobello Mushroom Ravioli chewy and flavorful mushrooms in a cheese sauce that you will want bread to soak up. Cassava Cake lemon caked with cream, cherries and chocolate chips. I loved it, but did not love the chocolate chips although they did add a certain crunch. Mama even checked on us and took time to make sure our meal was good. She was a delight, as was the army of staff that made sure food came out hot, dishes were removed and drinks were refilled. Just a very pleasant experience. On a BUDGET: Choose an entree and it comes with soup or salad. Want to Splurge: Skip the appetizer (you will be too full) and order an entree, dessert and pair with a drink or bottle of wine. We skipped the alcohol, but had everything else and only spent less than $60 for the two of us.
