A proper American Italian restaurant right down to the crisp white table cloth and iconic decor. Same day reservation and nice high top for two in the corner of the bar. The food was delicious, generously proportioned, and prompt. The staff was attentive and welcoming. Overall, my new favorite Italian spot in Prescott hands down.

Pappa's can give a master class on service. My wife and I dine there as much as possible. Each and every time the service is as great as the food; not to mention the beautiful atmosphere. I believe this is a gem in Prescott. Eddy and Vanessa run this restaurant like a finely tuned machine. You are greeted warmly by the staff, and are attended to like the royal family. The plates are generous, and the wine selection is great, and they even offer dessert wine. If you want a beautiful evening... look no further.

Before we even got food, the quiet, yet fun atmosphere gave off an amazing vibe. Faith and family was the theme of the restaurant. Worship music was playing all night and there was a full back ground story of the restaurant on the menu. This place is authentic and fun. Great for any occasion.

I ordered a large Chicago style pizza and added meatball. Believe me when I say it was probably 7 pounds. I'm happy to report it was quality as well as quantity. I ate on that thing Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and still froze half of it to bring home. Delicious and a tremendous value.

I cannot express how absolutely fantastic our experience was at Papas Italian Restaurant in Prescott! You need to experience it for yourself. From the moment you walk in, until you walk out you feel like family. Every employee cares about you and your experience. Our waiter, Aaron was beyond fantastic. He welcomed us as if it was his restaurant. We will definitely be back. We live in Wickenburg, Arizona and Wickenburg is about 40 minutes from Prescott. It’s worth the drive!!!! Thank you so much!!! You are our go to place.

We had take out from this place. We had wanted to go and do dine in. We were looking for pizza from a local spot. My wife is gluten free and it’s hard to find a restaurant that does it well. This place did a great job. We were very happy with the pizza. We are excited to come back. Wish we could have ordered a gluten free pasta though. Overall it was great

Fantastic! Rich home made tasting Italian cuisine with a great wine selection to pair with your entre. Great options beyond your typical pasta dishes. Quality food and reasonably priced for all you are getting. This place is popular so I recommend reserving.
