| - I was visiting Port Credit looking for bridesmaid dresses and then decided to walk the streets looking for a place to enjoy a nice lunch. It was a Saturday - so my fiance and I waited until a little after the lunch rush and decided we felt like a good ol' bowl of pasta. Papa Giuseppe's to the rescue!
Upon arrival, the outside and even the front entrance way of this place are not the most glamorous. We were not deterred though, and ventured in to be seated in what looked like was a back patio that was still being enclosed due to the weather (this was an exceptionally nice day, but others were not as nice so I understand). The decor is seemingly old Italian type traditional and a little drab but really, no big deal now let's get to the food!
The menu is quite large - with pizzas and pastas a plenty. I ordered the Gnocchi and my fiance ordered the Carbonara. Two of my most favourite dishes so I was ready to be impressed. Boy was I ever impressed! The food came out really quickly, it was literally steaming hot (probably the hottest dish I have ever received at a restaurant), and smelled delicious. We decided to share both dishes with each other and I instantly regretted it because I loved the Gnocchi so much, it was so decadent and creamy, with walnuts in it too! The Carbonara was really tasty as well, with lots of Porchetta - but I just couldn't part with the cheesy Gnocchi. I was ready to shed a tear when it was finished.
Papa Giuseppe's, I do have to say you surprised me. From the drab decor - I was served up some wicked delicious and filling pasta dishes. I would definitely order both again (next time I am eating the Gnocchi to myself though, yes I am greedy). I even saw people cutting their Pizza with scissors! I am going to go back again just to do that!
