We came here on short notice not remembering Valentines Day might be an issue. Very busy but a very nice V-day Four Course for Two was on the menu for today. Great variety, very filling, awesome atmosphere, super friendly and helpful staff. Thanks for a great holiday, romantic experience! 😘 Vodka rigatoni with meatballs and a Cordon Bleu entrees were very good. Peroni beer was ice cold. Very interesting atmosphere with the massive collection of celebrity photos. Very cool! The cannoli flight was a special treat!

One word description: Charming! Papa Dante's is a very cute restaurant with delicious food and atmosphere to match. We stumbled upon this establishment as we were in the area, and we craved Italian. Just about every single square inch of wall space (and ceiling) is covered with nostalgic pictures of movie stars and celebrities. The food was great and out in a timely manner. The service was equally great, and everyone was super nice & accommodating. They have a little gift shop and the desserts are also very good. Highly recommend taking a trip down memory lane to Papa Dante!

We had a great experience for our first time at Papa Dante's. We were greeted when we approached the counter to order as well as by our server when we selected our table. The atmosphere and decorations were quite the conversation piece as we traveled through all of the variety of people's pictures. The food was as amazing as the rest of the experience. We will definitely be returning.

Super cool restaurant with an old school feel. We ordered a ton of items and they were all great. I especially liked a garlic fries. They have interesting hours but that’s all part of the family centered experience. I’ve been back 3 times since going my first time.

This is such a cute location with a lot of personality! The chicken fettuccine alfredo and lasagna were wonderful. We didn't even get pictures because we devoured it. The homemade cinnamon rolls are delicious and they have a large dessert selection. Definitely a place you should add to your options for Italian food.
