I was looking for a good Italian restaurant and most definitely found it here!! We started with the calamari which was cooked to perfection. Then we had minestrone soup which was delicious. Then I had a salad with their homemade dressing. Our entrée we chose was Chicken with prosciutto and fettuccine Alfredo. It also comes with Italian bread. OMG, this was the best Alfredo we ever had and the chicken melted in your mouth! Kyle our sever was extremely professional and nice. This will definitely be our go to when we come to Prescott!!

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 it was pretty delicious. It was different because this one didn't come with Marinara sauce but I didn't mind it because of the yellow banana peppers, gave it a great flavor. For my entree I had the stuffed portobello mushroom raviolis. The plate comes with 7 total raviolis and had a great bell pepper creamy taste. The minestrone house soup was absolutely

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 about the menu and specials. To start, the bread and garlic butter were delicious. My husband had the Chicken Margherita and side of Minestrone. 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

One of the best waiters we ever had. He was passionate about the food he was serving. The food was excellent! Not exactly casual dining. Reservations recommended. They were able to seat us without.

We had a great time here, everyone was dressed up for Halloween. We will make Papa's Italian Restaurant a regular thing. The food is excellent! We enjoyed the hearty minestrone soup & house salad (Mama's dressing was very good). I loved my Fettuccine Alfredo very much. I always eat this dinner at other Italian Restaurants, but this place perfected the sauce. It was rich, creamy, absolutely delicious... I might try it next time with chicken but it was very filling on it's own. Service was fast too - seated immediately, drinks and bread served quickly, plus the staff treat you like family. Mama is

Papa's is our go to place for birthdays and anniversaries. We keep it special that way. The food quality is always consistently wonderful, the service is always great. I love the ambience. If you desire a quiet romantic table, let them know. Make sure you call for reservations or more than likely you won't get in for dinner.

Absolutely delicious Italian restaurant with authentic Italian food. The staff is super friendly and so kind. The staff was super kind and found us a table even though they were so packed with people. The caprese salad & soup are so yummy. I ordered chicken prosciutto with moscato wine and it was phenomal! The interior reminded me of Italy & brought back so many good memories. I felt like I was back in Italy! Highly recommend this place! You will love it!

Flavorless salad noodles undercooked chicken overcooked sauce very soupy. I guess i just expected more for the price (to be better than olive garden) be aware there are NO substitutions on pasta sides not even for an up charge. Mediocre service. The busboy/food runner was amazing! Young kid but was doing more work than the bartender! More than likely won’t be back.

Found this place on Google and it had good reviews so I grabbed the wife and we went on Thursday, July 8th. The place was packed for a Thursday, they found an empty table for us and was seated. Our waitress was there bringing us water and bread in no time. Nice atmosphere and very clean. Wife had shrimp scampi and I the lasagna. Cesar salads for both and tried a lemon cake with cherry and whipped cream. Everything, and I mean everything was delicious! My only complaint, if you can call it that, is the Cesar dressing on the salad was great, but not much of it. (Wife says I like some salad with my
