Service was great! Quick , friendly and they were on top of keeping the table stocked ed with bread and water.The food was a little underwhelming for the price. A plate of noodles for 25 bucks and an up charge of over five dollars because of a different sauce option. . The salad had canned mushrooms instead of fresh, which I found very odd. The restaurant looked like an attempt to be upscale, but they served your bread in a plastic basket like you get in a diner. And the waitresses were wearing jeans so it was a little bit juxtaposed. $80 for one margarita and two pasta entrées.. maybe that's typical, I just wasn't expecting it!

Exceptional Italian food. Was wanting to order spaghetti and meatballs and they did not disappoint. The soups - a cream of chicken and a minestrone - were also excellent. The antipasto salad was amazing, only wish they had balsamic as a dressing (the Caesar, ranch and blue cheese were great though). The cheese breadsticks were also very good, and the spumoni ice cream and French silk pie were sublime - especially paired with an espresso plus heavy cream. Cool and cozy interior environs and service was top-notch. Highly recommended if you are looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in OKC!

It has been a few years since dining here and I forgot how good the food was! Our server Ashlyn was delightful and answered all of the questions we had!The meal started out with the Baked Artichokes - if you love artichokes this is definitely your appetizer! My entree was the Chicken Piccata - it may have been one of the best ones I've tried! I had the Tomato Bisque and it was excellent!My wife chose the Wednesday Special AYCE - Spaghettini. It was a large plate so there was no need to go back.The one downside to the meal was no authentic bread! We merely got what looked like store brand rolls. Not going to hold that against a great meal.To finish off we shared the Creme Brûlée - fantastic! Highly recommend

This is the best restaurant in Oklahoma City for Italian food. Everything is made 100% fresh in house. The spaghetti marinara, The fettuccine Alfredo, The meatballs, and all the sauces are made here! This restaurant has been here for over 25 years! They have a family dining side and then they have an adult side. There's also a one-of-a-kind hand built bar in the adult dining side. The staff and the owners are so professional and polite they make you feel like you've come into their home and not a restaurant. The portions are huge. The place is extremely clean and the colors are vibrant and make you feel like you've stepped into little Italy. This is absolutely the one and only place I recommend for going for homemade Italian food.

Went there for the 1st time and I have to say from people who have followed my reviews frequently, Papa Duo's is one of the most excellent places to eat. The staff and food is excellent! Made reservations by reading other reviews and well noted. Had the JSW ( hope in spelling it correctly) Spaghetti with Italian sausage, veal steak, ravioli, lasagna, and meatballs, everything is more then I expected as far as the food, staff and restaurant atmosphere. The price was not high compared to the service and excellent food, taste, and quality of other places, especially since it's not a chain, Home made. Met the owner Candice and she was the most happy and wonderful woman I've met who loves her job and customers. Highly recommend this above all the others.

I/we LOVE Papa Dio's. We've been there several times. I can't believe I haven't reviewed this wonderful place!So, I have had their Sausage Lasagna, Lobster Ravioli, and many other wonderful dishes. My latest choice was Fried Pizza. All of their Fried Pizzas are small---7". I chose the combo: Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Onions & Black Olives, thick red and mozzarella cheese. (from the menu). Shannon, our server explained that it came with powdered sugar. YES! POWDERED SUGAR! It's meant to be used with the crusts of the pizza at the end of your meal as a dessert. I absolutely loved this pizza. We had so much fun at this meal. I stole delicious bites of my husband's Manicotti Florentine which had it's own brand of yum. I mentioned Shannon above. She was great. She was patient, kind, and very helpful with our questions and faux pas---like thinking the powdered sugar was parmesan. But Shannon wasn't the only one who visited our table. Candace, the owner, came by several times. As a matter of fact, several came by several times to check on us. Our water glasses were never empty, and anything we wanted arrived within minutes. What well-run family operation!
