Reviews for Papa Dante's Italian Restaurant in Converse, TX
???? Papa Dante's is still the place to go. Been awhile since I have been here... Enjoyed the Lasagna and Spaghetti for a Late... Lunch today. We had Lasagna & Spaghetti w/ Bolognese Meat Sauce and also Meatball Spaghetti Dish w/ a Dinner Salad ???? The Foodwas great and Loved the Bolognese Meat Sauce on their Lasagna & Spaghetti Dish. Dante's staff was super friendly and theatmosphere makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed while being there, especially viewing so many pictures of all theCelebrities as you can see in the pictures ???? My only issue was the Salad... ONE CHERRY TOMATO AND ONE BLACK OLIVE they said??????? I love at least a small portion of Tomatoes & Black Olives on my Salad ???? Read more
Attended an office farewell lunch for one of our young officers from Randolph AFB. Had a large group, so took a while to get... all our made-to-order meals out, but with staffing down and the number of people it was understandable. The service was as goodas could be expected and the food was all excellent. I had a 2-topping 10-inch pizza and it was great. The place has a ton ofcharacter and a relaxing atmosphere. All dishes looked excellent and no one in our group had complaints. Recommended! Read more

So before you think I'm crazy for ordering meatloaf at an obviously Italian restaurant, it was the special of the day and the... cashier said "it's amazing and made only once a month." Man, she wasn't kidding! It's got to take a whole month to make a dishso delicious and filled with homemade goodness! ?? First off, let's talk about the garlic bread... who woulda thought somethingso simple could be so delicious, but it was: Toasty buttery goodness!! The obviously hand-mashed potatoes w/ just the rightamount of potato skins mixed in this fluffy, creamy mixture was the absolutely perfect side for the main attraction, THEMEATLOAF! Great meaty texture with crisp edges off the grill and an amazing velvety brown sauce like I've never had before. Iordered it on the side as I usually find them not to be so delightful, yet I found myself pouring it over the meatloaf rightaway and dipping everything thing I could into it! Even those unassuming baby carrots in an herbed butter sauce were able toshine through on their own in this amazing cast of characters! Need to start marking dates down on my calendar as the last timeI was here I had the Chicken Fried steak, which was also monthly. Hopefully, eventually, I'll get to some of the other disheson their menu! Last thing, if you've never been here, every inch of this place is filled with movie star memorabilia fromthroughout the past decades. It's a quiet, and dim, and extremely relaxing atmosphere to escape from your daily routine. Stopby. Read more
Great ambiance with retro pictures on all the walls. The food is delicious with high quality ingredients and tons of flavor.... Extremely family friendly as well. They offer a military discount as well! Read more
We had the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and the chicken parm/ lasagna combo. Both were very good. We didn't try the deserts but... they looked delicious. We loved all the pictures on the walls of movies and actors from 70-80s. Read more
My family and I have ordered take out from Papa Dante?s several times (pasta and pizza) and have been pleased with the food. We... decided to eat in this time and we?re not impressed. The restaurant is cute inside with the walls covered with photos ofcelebrities and other posters. We ordered at the counter then got our table. The service was pretty slow, slow to get ourbeverages, refills, and food. My wife?s flatware was disgusting with sticky food still on it and we had to request a newset. The waitress brought our food to the table but took her time to bring the crushed red peppers and parmigiana cheese Irequested. The garlic bread was actually really good. The chicken Alfredo was bland and unimpressive. The crab cakes were okaybut not great. The proportions were good. If this were my first time eating their food I would not return. I will give themanother try (to go) another time to see if the cook just had a bad day. Read more
Came here with my family for dinner. The food was top notch. I had manicotti and garlic bread. The bread was the best I've ever... had ???? It was soft and airy but uber buttery. The manicotti was perfectly made and delicious. The dessert selction isincredible, and you can't go wrong. The only downside is the hours are very limited. Highly recommend! Read more
