Menus

The menu is heavily influenced by the cuisine in Southern Italy and in particular, Calabria, where Rab stayed for numerous years and many of the dishes have been inspired by the very dishes that were served in local restaurants there.

The emphasis at Papa Rab’s is on quality by using the best of ingredients, the majority of which are locally sourced, and all dishes are made in house and prepared freshly to order. From authentic wood-fired, hand-rolled pizzas, pastas, fish and steak to our mouth watering, homemade desserts, our varied menu offers something for everyone.

“Five of us in for a meal tonight - absolutely excellent. Rab and staff were brilliant, couldn't fault them! Would highly recommend this lovely Italian, keep up the good work folks.”

“Lovely meal. Friendly staff. Even gave us some of his freshly baked bread to take back to our hotel. Good atmosphere in the bar attached to the restaurant!”

“Best pizzas in town. You HAVE to try the Panzanelle.”

“I had the pleasure of dining in Papa Rabs first class restaurant with the most attentive staff this evening. Rab was able to serve us 2 dozen of the best oyster I have eaten this year. The main courses were great, the steaks were cooked to perfection - if you get a chance to dine here, don't miss this opportunity.”
