Papa Joe’s is more than just a sit-down dinner spot. Our restaurant in Akron, OH also features an Italian market, located on the left side of the restaurant. The market provides you with tastes and smells that you can take from our kitchen to yours. The market provides a variety of fresh salads, oven-ready entrees, prepared seafood, and, of course, our White French dressing! For dessert, we offer a variety of cakes, muffins, tiramisu, and hand-filled cannolis. Let us do the cooking for you!
Our Wine Shoppe features an impressive collection stored in temperature-controlled conditions, including rare and hard-to-find vintages from around the world. You'll find the same premium wines served in our restaurant available at retail prices. We're proud to say there are no credit card fees, just straightforward service.
