Review:
Papa Joe's Italian Restaurant has been a Brooksville dining tradition since 1981, owned and operated by married duo Donna and Joe Giarratana. The fine Italian-style restaurant is known for its community giving initiatives, including its annual 99-cent anniversary pasta festival, which donates proceeds to charities such as St. Jude's Hospital and Habitat for Humanity. Diners can enjoy customizable plates of classic Italian pasta favorites such as puttanesca or choose from classic meat and vegetarian entrees like eggplant parmesan, chicken cognac, and sausage gnocchi. Specialty pizzas, calzones, and strombolis are also served up alongside a full menu of fine antipasti selections. In addition to its restaurant operations, the restaurant also operates several cooking shows, a culinary scholarship fund, and a continental catering service for area special events.
