Papa Dante's Italian Restaurant

Super cool restaurant with an old school feel. We ordered a ton of items and they were all great. I especially liked a garlic fries. They have interesting hours but that’s all part of the family centered experience. I’ve been back 3 times since going my first time.

Nostalgic ! The atmosphere brought me back to my youth This place was established in 1979 and the decor still supports that and I love it ! Italian Americana at its finest This is a family owned business so you may have one person filling many roles I have to tip my hat to Liz because she checked me in , waited on me and was also the clean up crew not an easy task . The food is very good the toasted bread with butter was absolutely delish the toasted sesame seeds through it over the top . The pizza and spaghetti was robust but not over sauced or seasoned . I can see now why they have been in business for so long .

Recently moved to the area and discovered this place and it’s soooo good! We’ve tried the chicken Parmesan, chicken Alfredo, chicken parm sub, and spaghetti and all have been great. The bread you get is amazing! We also tried an Oreo pie a while back it was delicious. We also liked the vibe they have going with pictures all over the place. Overall 10/10 recommend

We came here on short notice not remembering Valentines Day might be an issue. Very busy but a very nice V-day Four Course for Two was on the menu for today. Great variety, very filling, awesome atmosphere, super friendly and helpful staff. Thanks for a great holiday, romantic experience! Vodka rigatoni with meatballs and a Cordon Bleu entrees were very good. Peroni beer was ice cold. Very interesting atmosphere with the massive collection of celebrity photos. Very cool! The cannoli flight was a special treat!

Such a cute interior. Love the eclectic style. My husband and I ordered the lasagna and it came with a side of sesame garlic bread. I already can’t wait to go back it was all delicious. Their desserts were also incredible!

One word description: Charming! Papa Dante's is a very cute restaurant with delicious food and atmosphere to match. We stumbled upon this establishment as we were in the area, and we craved Italian. Just about every single square inch of wall space (and ceiling) is covered with nostalgic pictures of movie stars and celebrities. The food was great and out in a timely manner. The service was equally great, and everyone was super nice & accommodating. They have a little gift shop and the desserts are also very good. Highly recommend taking a trip down memory lane to Papa Dante!

This is such a cute location with a lot of personality! The chicken fettuccine alfredo and lasagna were wonderful. We didn't even get pictures because we devoured it. The homemade cinnamon rolls are delicious and they have a large dessert selection. Definitely a place you should add to your options for Italian food.

I came with my dad, at first I was doubtful. But the food was amazing. Garlic bread was very tasty. Even my picky little sister liked it. As someone with a sensitive to gluten. I got no stomach ace at all. And that is really good. The crispy chicken Alfredo was so amazing. Me and my sister shared a slice of double chocolate cake. It was very good. The next time we come to San Antonio trust me I will be back. 10/10 .
