Paps Italian

Wonderful Italian place in the heart of bustling Karakoy district. Wonderful Italian food- starters, pasta, pizza, mains, desert. The pizzas were excellent. Great wine selection. They even had Austrian white!

Exceptionally good service, which can be rare around this area. Lovely and cozy atmosphere. Busy and happening. May be good to book ahead. Outside seating (heated) also available. Loved it! Will return.

Cute italian restaurant with great food. I have not had a lot of good Italian food in Istanbul over the 9 years of living here. After my first visit, I now come here at least every 2 weeks. Pizza always perfect, pastas are not amazing but still good overall, and the desserts are superb!!! Little pricey but worth it I think. Nice stuff Paps 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

From the moment we walked in the staff was very friendly specially Arda, he welcomed us
And he is the best! the food absolutely spectacular! We enjoyed our food , we ordered The seabass & truffle ravioli and it was so delicious. Definitely coming back again to this lovely place.

Delightful little Italian restaurant with lovely outdoor seating. It’s a little bit away from the noisier location of Karaköy but that’s a good thing!
Food was delicious and tasted as authentic as it gets with some great selections of wines.
The truffle taglioni was divine!

If you’re looking for delicious Italian food you have to come here
Everything I tried was amazing 😻
Pasta, risotto, pizza, wine - try everything here

I have eaten here twice now and I am very impressed with the authenticity of the italian food. The pasta, risotto and the pizza are both great with a good selection of italian wines too. I will definitely come back here again on my next trip to Istanbul.

The restorant is cosy and very nicely decorated. The restoring is situate in Karakoy part which is family for its restaurants and coffee shops. The food is very good and the portions are quite big. The service could be better, a bit nicer approach would be appreciated of younger waiters. The only thing with bothered me as an Italian was the Cuban music in Italian restaurant.

Very good restaurant I recommended you to visit it when you go to istanbul, They have a good menu. I tried the salad it was delicious & pepperoni pizza was very good for the Mojito it was very very good and tasty.
10/10 rate

Authentic Italian restaurant, location is very nice, the service is great and the staff are friendly.

Ordered Rocca salad, Four Seasons Pizza and Spagetti and all was very delicious, highly recommended!

Perfect Italian restaurant in İstanbul, great services friendly and helpful staff.
affordable prices, the food was perfect very delicious the truffles pizza highly recommended. The appetizers were perfect also.

After mum's coffe you must take a diner in Paps Italian 🤍 the pizza 🍕, pasta, and grilled Salmon 🍣 was delicious 🤤

One of the best Italian of Istanbul. You will love the taste of the green sauce of salmon. And not to forget the dry meat on top of Salmon, surfy&turfy. 😀
Pastas are hand made, and super delicious.
Go a bit earlier, grab a nice table and enjoy!

Thank you for the lovely evening, the food was more than great and the service was even much better with our friend Emre

The best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to,

Everything was by the book, we went there 2 times and both were magnificent,

We ordered lasagne, pasta and pizza all of them were 10/10 will definitely go there when am back in Turkey.

Very nice, but don’t let cover you pizza with spicy oil… it becomes too spicy 🌶

It’s very hard to find professional service and welcoming attitude in Istanbul , here you will find great Authentic Italian dishes , great service and lovely seating in door and outdoor..... don’t miss this place .

Try the pizza , like the ones They serve south of Italy
This part is about my second visit , at night 3 nights later , an amazing spot , very chill and the atmosphere is mellow .... still all the above the same , service is great

Excellent penne pasta and cheese ravioli. Being vegetarian it is difficult to get good food in foreign countries. Really enjoyed

Had a pizza, and I just loved it. No ingredient is overwhelming, JUST RIGHT. I was so sad that I couldn't try all the menu. Service attitide was nice.

Delicious Italian

Loved the pizza and their salads. Cheeses are good quality. Pizza dough is like in Italy.
Service and atmosphere was nice.

Their other spot in a mall is nice too (the pic is from there)

We absolutely loved this place. Have been here 2 times and will come again soon. Perfectly cooked Italian food and amazing service. Our waiter Ugur was very polite, attentive and fast.
