I love this place! They have really great food. If you're wondering where to park, parking is available in the marked spaces right by the building. They share parking spots with Outre.

I'm at the owner and son and they were very nice. They explained everything to me in a friendly manner. The food there that we sampled was excellent. My husband decided to take some food for his lunch at his job and I took some lasagna f all in all we had a wonderful pleasant experience can't wait to come back.

I almost never give 5 stars. However I am glad to say this Italian restaurant is a acception to the rule. I was expecting a small sub shop. To my surprise it was so much more. This is a pleasent little Italian restaurant. Yes they have subs, however they have a range of other dish's including pastas and unique dishes. The facility was, dare I say hospital clean. Even the rest rooms looked like a 5 star resort. I ordered 3 subs, fries and a additional side and drinks and they had the food up and severed right to my table in about 3 minutes, it was shockingly fast. The lobby has a unique mix of Italian Family vibes with old photos on the walls mixed with a modern upgrade. They also have an out side seating area. This facility has multiple awards and news articles discussing their wonderful service and products and the facility's rich historical value to the community. There lobby has a small childrens area and the air was filled with low classical music. I drove almost a hour to review this restaurant and I can say I highly, highly recommend this restaurant individual's and families alike. So good that even being a hour away I will definitely, definitely visit them again the next time I want good Italian sausage. This restaurant has the rare honor of making my "full rave list" by being one of the very few restaurant's I have ever given 5 stars. I will surely be raving about this place for a while. Well done Papa's Italian sausage and congratulations for a 5 star raving review.

Amazing homemade sausages, great value on hotdogs, friendly staff, and the place is always sparkling clean when I walk in. What else could someone ask for in a casual dining spot?

We usually get a bite to eat while grabbing a beer at Brewery Outre. Everything is always good. The Sicilian sticks are my favorite.
