What people are saying..
5/5“So excited!! Delicious doesn’t even describe the food. I am a New Yorker and was basically raised as the adopted daughter to my best friends 100% Italian family, so I consider myself a reliable judge of good Italian food. In a state where there are only a handful of decent restaurants (strictly my opinion), I cannot tell you how excited I am to have this restaurant in the town I live in! Friday was super busy and obviously there are still some bumps to work out, but that is to be expected…. Especially with it being their first Friday open. But it was absolutely worth the long wait. Just don’t forget your faithful customers when the word gets out and the masses line up around the block.”
Chantal Blodgett Wilson5/5“Our family loves Papa Gio’s. From the stromboli to the wonderful gourmet authentic Italian dishes .. Excellent every time. I personally love the baked spaghetti. Very large portions. I usually get 2 or more meals out of my one entree. Their wraps and burgers are also gourmet. We enjoy dining in. The service is wonderful. The New York style pizza is also superb. We have never been disappointed with anything we have had. So many more chicken dishes I love too. Our favorite place ..”
Catherine Volz Garris“Great new restaurant. Delicious food and great atmosphere!!!”
Candace West5/5“I used to only think of Papa Gio’s when I wanted Italian but today I order a Bacon Cheese burger and a Philly Cheese steak sub. Both were over the top delicious! Can’t say enough how much we’ve enjoyed the quality and taste of all the food we’ve ever been served. I hope they stay in the neighborhood forever!”
Vinny Leippert“Awesome atmosphere,service, and food is off the chain…I had a slice of the white pizza called “Bianca” style I think & it was fabulous….can’t wait to come back for date night and try the chicken marsala!!!!!”
Melanie Wolgamott Williamson5/5“Delicious Greek Salad and the very best cheesy breadsticks ever! Hubby really enjoyed his meal too! Much better than anything where we live! We even ordered more breadsticks to enjoy at home! When we get back over that way, you will see us again. Thanks for such good food and friendly service!! Wish you had a location near Leesburg, FL. (Hint, hint)”

Wendy Stanislaus5/5“I was visiting my daughter over the weekend, who recently moved to SC. Being from Connecticut I was a bit skeptical about an Italian restaurant in the land of BBQ but I was very pleasantly surprised. There was a bit of a wait being a Saturday night but not too long. The garlic knots were to die for and the food was delicious. The service was outstanding. I will be back next time I come down for a visit.”
Julie Caciopoli Gamble5/5“Just ordered food from Papa Gio’s for the first time today and everything turned out absolutely fantastic. The delivery time was sorta long due to how busy they were but the quality of the food was worth the wait. Would order again and would also recommend to all my family and friends.”
Michael Visser5/5“I was very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere felt home like. It was relaxed not rushed The waitress was attentive, pleasant and was very knowledgeable of menu. The house dressing and meatballs she suggested were excellent. The portions are huge. I enjoyed my evening and my meal. I will be going back.”
