    Great Wine at Papa's - A 2019 Pinot Noir wine bottle from Rhys, Bearwallow Vineyards, is placed on a restaurant table with grilled asparagus and a plate of bread.

    Must stop when you are in Culver. Pizza first. Then specials and seasonal ingredients.

    Cozy place in Culver right on Lake Maxinkuckee. We had a pepperoni calzone, served with a side of marinara, The Hawaiian pizza was ok, but the crust was too thick for our liking. The crab cake sandwich is served great remoulade sauce & I had the caprese chicken grill with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and balsamic reduction. All were tasty & service was good, but thought it was overpriced for what it was.

    The food is amazing but it's pretty expensive so I would but not consider it for mid income families.

You're fortunate to attract and maintain such incredible people like Ryan and Kelsey.

Ryan's the right guy to have your back, plus he's got a nose for great bourbon which doesn't hurt! Caryn, mom and I thank you again.

We had to ask her to take our order after we got our appetizer. We had to flag her down for everything. Water, more drinks, salt & pepper. The check. The food was mediocre at best. My lobster bisque soup was so greasy & salty. Not a chunk of lobster for garnish or flavor. My Caesar salad was huge, but barely edible. Too much dressing that was sour & salty. Menu said it came with anchovies. I asked if they were in my salad because I didn't see them. She said, sometimes they are. I'm like, well are they? She offered to get me some, but was annoyed with me for asking. My friend's burrata wasn't good. Stale, flavorless bread. One tomato slice. No taste. My friend liked her gnocci, very rich. My husband's pork chop was ok. A little tough. He was happy our server had recommended the sauce on the side because it was spicy, even though the menu didn't say so. Overall, I'm glad I tried it. Won't be back again.

We were seated immediately and the server greeted us pretty quickly. He may have been new as he seemed uncertain with some of our menu questions. They have an arrabbiata sauce and I was able to get that on the margherita pizza. It was amazing. Dough and sauce are house made. For apps, we got the calamari and baked Asiago. Both were excellent. Their espresso martinis are legit - served with espresso and 3 beans. Highly recommend this spot.

One thing to note; there's only one unisex bathroom on the first floor, which wasn't quite enough for the number of guests that day. There is another restroom upstairs, but it may not be ideal for those with mobility concerns. The wait staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to answer our questions since it was our first time dining here. The owner also made a point to visit every table, which added a warm, personal touch. The food truly stood out; comforting Italian dishes that reminded us of meals we enjoyed in Italy. Portions were just right, with a great balance of pasta and ingredients. The stuffed eggplant was a highlight; perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. The Pizza Bianco was another favorite, generously topped with artichoke hearts. A few minor notes: the calamari was slightly overcooked, and while the Shrimp Scampi with Capellini Aglio Olio was flavorful and well-seasoned, the pasta was a bit on the dry side for my preference. Some of the shrimp were slightly overcooked as well, but it didn't take away from the overall taste as it was still very enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience. We'd definitely recommend this spot and look forward to coming back the next time we're in the area.

Upon ordering, I was given a time of 35 minutes and a total of $35.00. About 7 minutes later I get call saying that it's going to be 50 minutes and "BTW, the cost is $45"! Hmmmm so I paid $45 for what was supposed to be a deep dish pizza but what arrived as flat as a thin crust one topping pizza . The extra money was supposedly to cover the Italian beef meat that I requested on my pizza but you would have literally had to go swimming through the pizza to find a scant piece of Italian beef . What did I find? Let me tell you , a big huge chunk of brown paper bag flopped in the sauce under the cheese layer . I basically received a hard, burned to a crisp crust with a bunch of sauce flopped on the top , a bite or two of ham , a few crumbles of cheese and specks of Italian beef . I will never ever again darken their doorstep with my money . Trust me, they know that we were good for at least $100 a month in orders if not more. I would say that probably over the last year , the food and service has just gotten progressively worse to the point that now they are serving brown paper bag and charging $45 for it ! I would sooner buy frozen pizza then ever return to Gina's.
