" Papa D's is one of those places you find unexpectedly and never want to leave. The hospitality is unmatched, akin to being with family. I had the sausage and peppers, which was hearty and delicious. The meatballs were seasoned perfectly, and dipping them in the homemade sauce was an experience I won't soon forget. My only regret is not trying the tiramisu, which I’ve heard is the best. Overall, it was an exceptional dining experience—highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, the experience I had at Papa D's was incredible! From the moment I entered, the aroma of delicious food wafting through the air made my mouth water. I had the meatball sandwich, which was simply the best I've ever tried in my life! The warm bread, flavorful meatballs, and rich sauce complemented each other perfectly. The owners truly care about their craft, and it shows. You’ll feel like family here, and I plan to return often! " (*Curated Review*)

The owners are so friendly and invested in their customers’ happiness; you really feel like part of their family. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely incredible experience at Papa D's! Upon walking in, I was immediately greeted and offered samples of their homemade ricotta and pasta. It felt like family! I eventually settled on their famous penne vodka and the eggplant parm, both of which were bursting with flavor. The mozzarella was also so fresh and tasty! My only complaint is that I wish I lived closer to come more often and enjoy this fantastic food. A hidden treasure in Tuckerton! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Papa D's was simply fantastic! As soon as the door opened, I was met with the aroma of their delicious food. I ordered the chicken cutlet, and it was incredibly moist and flavorful. The owners even took the time to recommend sides. I ended up trying their homemade fries that were perfect with the cutlet! It’s a small spot, but the food and service were remarkable. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)
