*****  Papa Z, 2500 SE Federal Highway, Stuart, Florida 34994, (772) 419-2007.

Got a real good Italian joint for you…Papa Z located in Stuart, Florida. Take a look at its website www.papa-z.com for menu/prices…there are also something like 12 photographs of the joint, so you’ll know exactly what it looks like. Personally, I found Papa Z’s eclectic decor, modern funiture combined with “old world” framed Mona Lisa-type paintings to be a great look.

Now for the food…baked ziti, meat lasagna, chicken francese, veal parmigiana, veal marsala and shrimp diavlo…let’s just say, that I would definitely be a repeat customer. Good service. Neighborhood joint prices.

Papa Z has both a lunch and dinner menu…the lunch one is loaded with appetizers, salads, pizzas, pastas, subs, meat-seafood-chicken entrees…the dinner one, shall we say, is a bit more compact, but there is plenty of great stuff to choose from.

I really enjoyed this joint. Papa Z is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-9pm and Friday-Saturday 11am-10pm.
