Since 1981, Papa Joe’s Italian Restaurant has been serving up some of the best food in the area! This fact is proven by the restaurant’s popularity and success for the past 40 years! To show his appreciation and give back to our community, every anniversary Papa Joe hosts a delicious “all you can eat .99 cent pasta dinner” to benefit local charities. But more than just a delicious Italian dinner, this event is an Italian Festival! There will be community vendors, music & DJ, kid’s games, raffles on site, 50/50 drawings, pony rides, face painting, and much more…

This being the 40th Anniversary, Papa Joe wanted to do something BIG! So, they found a luxury suite on one of the most gorgeous beaches in the world to raffle off for a 6 night/7day getaway. Anna Maria Island is a hidden jewel on the west coast of Florida! No time will be wasted traveling – take a short drive and park your car for 7days of relaxing island beach bliss… And for good measure they are throwing in a $200 dinner at Papa Joe’s Italian Restaurant, a private sunset cruise for six and $250 cash for spending money, just to make it the perfect getaway adventure!

Come join the 40th anniversary celebration of Papa Joe’s Italian Restaurant on Tuesday, October 5th, 2021. 100% of all proceeds from this event support local charities in our community. This year’s selected charitable organizations include A New Generation and The Arc Nature Coast.
