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 inPrescott, the universal answer was Papa?s. It was a short drive from our Airbnb and parking was simple. It was down the streetfrom Peregrine Books, a fantastic little book store we went to earlier in the week. Before I describe the food, please knowthat 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 byMama herself. Delightful soup with diced vegetables, rolled pasta and sausage. It is a good way to start a meal. It takes her3 hours just to simmer it each day. Caesar Salad - good, really good, but maybe a little more cheese than I am used to. Stillate 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 cheesesauce 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 sureour meal was good. She was a delight, as was the army of staff that made sure food came out hot, dishes were removed and drinkswere refilled. Just a very pleasant experience. On a BUDGET: Choose an entree and it comes with soup or salad. Want toSplurge: Skip the appetizer (you will be too full) and order an entree, dessert and pair with a drink or bottle of wine. Weskipped the alcohol, but had everything else and only spent less than $60 for the two of us. Read more
Service was great and the food was absolutely amazing. Already had high expectations from what others had said about it. Went... above and beyond those expectations!! Definitely make reservations before you go. This place is understandably in high demand. Read more
This place was absolutely delicious. We were looking for a spot to eat in Prescott, AZ and were kind of worried to try something... local but thank goodness we found this spot. Everything we tried had great flavor. We had their calamari as an appetizer and itwas pretty delicious. It was different because this one didn't come with Marinara sauce but I didn't mind it because of theyellow banana peppers, gave it a great flavor. For my entree I had the stuffed portobello mushroom raviolis. The plate comeswith 7 total raviolis and had a great bell pepper creamy taste. The minestrone house soup was absolutely delicious! Loved thatit had a bunch of veggies and had a great tomato sauce flavor. Not over powering. For desert I had to have the spa mini icecream! You can't get it anywhere. I've had it at other places but by far this one was the best. Will be visiting again! Read more
I don't know how we've missed this wonderful restaurant before now. We came in not knowing we should have a reservation but the... lady very kindly found us a wonderful little table for two. Our waiter, Aaron was so kind and seemed very knowledgeable aboutthe menu and specials. To start, the bread and garlic butter were delicious. My husband had the Chicken Margherita and side ofMinestrone. He said both were just amazing. I had the Portabello Mushroom stuffed Ravioli and house salad. Also so delicious. Desserts we had were Cheesecake and Tiramisu. Yummy. We've been to Tuscany and had true authetic Italian cuisine. Would saythis restaurant is about as close to that as you can find. We can't wait to come back again. Read more
We drove an hour and a half to try this Italian restaurant and it was worth the drive. The food was excellent and the service... was the best we've had in a long time. The atmosphere is warm and cozy as you would expect at a Mom and Pop restaurant. The twopictures I posted, one is of the lasagna and the other the Chicago style deep dish pizza. Both were extremely delicious! Ihighly suggest you try this place and if you do make sure to call for a reservation because they fill up fast! Lastly, arriveearly because parking is a challenge. There is no parking lot only street parking. Read more
