Discover our house specialty pasta that bears the Pappa's name. The Penne Ala De Pappa features perfectly cooked penne noodles sauteed with savory ham, fresh mushrooms, spicy Italian salami, our rich meat sauce, and topped with melted mozzarella cheese. This unique creation showcases our Italian-Canadian heritage and has been a menu favorite for over 27 years.
The Penne Ala De Pappa is more than just a pasta dish - it's a reflection of our restaurant's personality. Created in our kitchen and perfected over decades, this signature pasta combines the comfort of Italian cuisine with bold, satisfying flavors that have made it a customer favorite in Edmonton's Alberta Avenue neighborhood.
What makes our Penne Ala De Pappa special is the carefully balanced combination of ingredients. Tender penne pasta is sauteed with diced ham for sweetness, fresh mushrooms for earthiness, and spicy Italian salami that adds a kick of heat. Our rich, slow-simmered meat sauce brings everything together, while a generous topping of melted mozzarella creates that irresistible cheesy finish.
As a family-owned Italian restaurant with over 27 years of history, we take pride in dishes that represent who we are. The Penne Ala De Pappa embodies our Italian-Canadian roots, combining traditional pasta techniques with hearty, generous portions that Edmonton families have come to expect from Pappa's. It's the kind of dish you can only get here.
