History
Papa Joe's was open by Ricky and his father Dominick Catalano in 1984. The idea was to provide delicious Italian dishes from family recipes and serve them with love and respect. In 1992 Mike Grant started working for Ricky as a dishwasher while attending Boise State University and through hard work, some luck, and meeting the love of his life Raelynn, in 2005 they purchased the business and added an Italian inspired Coffee shop. That torch was passed again in 2020 and while the coffee shop may be replaced with a full bar offering wine, beer and a rotating menu of specialty cocktails, the tradition of Papa Joe's continues! We are now enjoying over 30 years as a Boise Restaurant.....We hope to serve you soon!
