Del Papa is a unique establishment located in the heart of Almaty on 87 Gogol Street. The restaurant has become a real oasis of Italian cuisine, attracting both locals and tourists with its coziness and atmosphere. The interior design combines elements of modernity and classics, creating the perfect setting for a romantic dinner or business meeting.
The restaurant's menu surprises with a variety of dishes, from the freshest pastas and pizzas to delicious seafood. Each ingredient is carefully selected, and the cooking process is a real art. Especially worth noting is the Margarita pizza, cooked in a wood-burning oven, and the traditional risotto with seafood.
Top-level service: attentive and courteous waiters will do everything possible to make your evening unforgettable. The wine, selected according to the recommendations of the sommelier, will perfectly complement your dish.
Del Papa is not just a restaurant, it is a place where every detail is thought out for your comfort and pleasure. A positive review of this institution is not without reason spread throughout the city, and every visit here becomes a real feast for gourmets.
I was here in 2022 and at that time the place was gorgeous. Needless to say, I was on a business trip with colleagues from Italy, and they fully approved of it (and you probably know how zealous Italians are about food, especially their cuisine). Therefore, Del Papa on Gogol definitely goes into the recommendations. A few details below.
Food is nothing to complain about. Snacks, pasta, pizza - classic taste, very well done and exactly as they would have done in Italy (and there was a lot of everything eaten over the years of travel). The pizza recipe was shared by the guys from St. Petersburg 22 cm, and they can safely compete with Milan in this matter.
Drinks - the aperol is made from the heart, a good selection of high-quality wines, standard beer, decent homemade non-alcoholic drinks.
The atmosphere is friendly, family-friendly, it is clear that the interior has a soul and reflects the Italian spirit. It can be a little stuffy, which makes strong drinks work more strongly, but it's enough to ask to open the window a little and it gets better.
The service is a decent level. But there is no need to wait for extra piety or helpfulness, because both the place and its spirit are not about that. The service is just good, everyone is very friendly and gives their best. We had dinner with a full landing and in general there was enough attention. In rare cases, you had to wait a couple of minutes before you could catch a waiter to order something, but that's okay. The guys worked very well. The dishes were taken out quickly, correctly, and no one was forgotten (and there were 6 of us).
Thanks to the restaurant team for a great evening, delicious food and wonderful atmosphere! Keep it up and good luck!
It was just a gastronomic explosion. The kitchen is beyond praise. It's rare to find pasta aldente anywhere, but we were lucky in this place. Desserts, a separate topic:) The waiters are great. With this approach to the guests of the establishment, we did not feel sorry for 10% for the service, and even more so not a tip for the waiter!!!
Delicious, no doubt... The service is excellent, the comfort is excellent, the atmosphere is excellent, But the prices are on average 2-2.5 times higher than the average in the city.
I like to be here every time I come. I know that everything will be fine: the dishes, the service, and the promise to plunge into the Italian slowness of life....
My favorite Del Papa on Gogol is a cozy small restaurant, attentive waiters. Delicious and varied pasta, there is a children's menu.
Lasagna is a recommendation.
Overall, the place is good. But the abr group (including del papa) decided that they would write prices in the menu without VAT, and then additionally include 12% VAT in the receipt. "After all, it is accepted everywhere in Kazakhstan, as you know" (sarcasm)
I don't mind the money, but I didn't expect such a trick in the service.
The food is delicious, the staff is friendly.
Of the cons:
We waited for pizza for a very long time, 30-40 minutes. No one warned about the long wait in advance, which greatly spoiled the impression.
The rest of the dishes were served quickly
A great cozy place for lunch or dinner. I haven't been to breakfast, but I think it's great too. Good location and friendly staff. In short, I recommend 10
Good cuisine, comfortable furniture, dishes, competent waiters (which cannot be said about other Del Papa restaurants). There were no declared steaks in the middle of the day.
We went in for breakfast. The staff is helpful. We ordered an omelette and a Milanese breakfast. Delicious and satisfying. A separate plus for mango tea. Payment using the abr app is convenient
A great, cozy place. The waiters were attentive, smiling, the service and serving of dishes were fast. The food is delicious. I liked everything. I recommend.
If people passing by are confused, sit inside. It was also quite comfortable on the outdoor tables.
The cafe Del Papa, randomly chosen for lunch on 87 Gogol Street, turned out to be a pleasant surprise, which combined a cozy, stylish Italian interior, not intrusive and calm at home, and excellent quality of dishes. I would especially like to mention the tomato soup with pesto and parmesan souffle (the perfect flavor combination) and the dessert from the chef Brownie with truffle-caramel sauce (it will remain in memory for a long time). Ginger tea will delight you with the correct concentration of all ingredients and will not leave you indifferent. I would also like to note the pleasant service, not intrusive, but cordial and professional. It feels like the team at this cafe is trying to make your stay comfortable and delicious. Summary- be sure to visit Del Papa to get gastronomic pleasure and dine in a homely atmosphere. Of the disadvantages, the 12% tax is not included in the price of meals.
A great place with delicious Italian cuisine. Sooooo delicious homemade pasta, buratta, wine. Nice interior, good service. Prices are slightly above average. On weekends, De Papa can be crowded, so the dishes are served for a long time. But everything is very tasty, I recommend it.
If you decide to eat, it is worth considering that the kitchen closes 40 minutes before the cafe closes, but of course no one will tell you until you find yourself here
A wonderful and very cozy place with a warm atmosphere and very friendly waiters. Food, drinks - everything is incredibly delicious. The feeling that you get to little Italy and to your beloved relatives, who seemed to be just waiting for you) We will definitely come back here again.
I liked everything! Wine from papy ...and of course dessert!!!I will definitely come with my family next time!!!The kitchen is super...soups and salads are incomparable!
The service is very slow, I waited a long time for the menu, I waited a long time for a salad with pinocchio, although there is only a tomato to cut, I waited a long time for the calculation. The indicated prices do not include VAT, they add another 12%! What kind of game is this? Why not specify the full price right away? Although it is so expensive. The salad, however, was delicious.
A very pleasant atmospheric cafe with Italian cuisine! We had a real pleasure with the whole family from both the dishes and the service! And also, the coffee here is very tasty)
The kitchen is not bad, the prices are reasonable. But the waitress was very intrusive and did not let them talk calmly at a business meeting, which they decided to combine with lunch.
Very good restaurant, the food is varied,delicious
The service is good. The staff is polite and careful. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant. Bringing the order quickly. Pizza and pasta are delicious.
A very cozy Italian restaurant with crispy, proper pizza. The waiter Tamerlane is just a miracle! Wonderful, many thanks to the restaurant for such an employee🥰
I really like this restaurant chain.
The food is delicious, cooked and served quickly.
The staff is attentive, ready to help, choose places and food.
I like salads, hot dishes, and, of course, great pizza.
It is beautiful and cozy.
Delicious. Pizza, in my opinion, is the best in the city

A good restaurant, maybe I was unlucky with the choice of dishes. The service is pleasant, it did not work out very well with the institution precisely in terms of taste and closely located tables. I liked it more at other points of the abr restaurant chain.
We had dinner with the children, celebrated Dad's birthday. The food is at an excellent level. The children were delighted with pizza, bruschetta and broth with ice cream. The service is fast and courteous. Honest five stars
I live nearby. The best place for a family breakfast. Because stability is their calling card. If the menu is updated, it is only with nuances to the hits. Tink paste! Any one. The status of Italian cuisine has been held for many years. I have two dogs. Almost every weekend we come with our relatives and tails. Therefore, everyone needs attention and patience. It's a place you always come back to.
All that can be said about this place is a cozy interior and that's the end of it. The appearance turns into bombast when an English breakfast (the restaurant has brunches, almost all day, and an English breakfast is a classic of the genre) is brought with hard-boiled fried eggs. At the same time, the menu indicates that any eggs will be made at will, but the waiter did not specify. I conclude that dry fried eggs are the most practiced type of breakfast, a "win-win option" that chefs have in their arsenal. And this is a place with a restaurant application! What about the other dishes then?
Moreover, it took more than 20 minutes from the order to the submission. We were in a hurry, there was no time to re-order or argue, so I ate breakfast.
When the waiter took away the plates, asked "how do I like breakfast", I replied "I didn't like it", but she didn't even listen! She nodded her head and left! However, after serving a couple of tables, the waiter returned to us and asked if she had heard correctly. She listened to my comments and added: "do you like liquid eggs in a glaze?". Imagine, yes! Everyone who orders an English breakfast is counting on a classic serving!
We must pay tribute that when it came to the restaurant manager, she tried to apologize in every possible way, but we didn't have time for all this.
I will add that we ordered more cheesecakes, which were asked to be served after. We finished the first courses, 5 minutes pass and the waiter asks if it is possible to start cooking cheesecakes already! From this we sat for another 15 minutes....
WI-FI is very weak, almost none. There are sockets, but due to the low Internet connection, it will not work.
+ 12% taxes have not been added to the price tag, although the price is already several times too high.
So far, the worst institution in terms of price-quality ratio that I have met in Almaty.
