Celebrated Moms Birthday and our waitress Amanda was the best. The food was good and filling. The desserts were tasty. We enjoyed it, and it’s reasonably priced. The Meatballs with cheese and Thick slice bacon were delicious appetizers. Slightly burnt is better with the bacon. The sauce on the Brussels sprouts was also delicious. You will not leave hungry.

I wanted to love this place after seeing reels about it! We went for the pasta flight and were pleasantly surprised it was happy hour and they had some GREAT deals. Bartender was sooo nice, delivered the drinks efficiently, definitely busy. We both got a pasta flight and shared the happy hour meatballs. Food didn’t really come out hot and I thought the flavor and options on the pasta flight were very underwhelming. Presentation was great, though! Just wish the flavor, taste, and temperature of the food matched. $25 for the flight was a bit steep for how underwhelming it was. The pasta could have used way more sauce, too. Overall, not impressed.

Walking into JoeBella’s feels like stepping into an Italian dreamscape — warm, glowing lights, rustic wood, and a vibe that says, “Yeah, go ahead, order another glass of wine.” It’s the kind of spot where you instinctively loosen your shoulders and start eyeing the specials board before you even sit down. Whether you’re tucked into a booth or catching the action from the open kitchen view, the whole place hums with that perfect mix of cozy and classy.
But let’s not dance around it — the meatballs are the real main character. These aren’t just good; they taste like Sunday dinners from an old-school Nonna who doesn’t measure a thing and somehow nails it every time. Rich, tender, and swimming in a marinara that clings like a hug, they come with a scoop of dreamy ricotta that melts right into every bite. It’s comfort food with heritage, the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-chew just to nod at whoever’s lucky enough to be sitting across from you.
The homemade pasta deserves its own spotlight too — delicate, fresh, and clearly crafted with intention. Paired with sauces that actually taste like someone’s been stirring them all afternoon, there’s nothing rushed or overdone here. The flavors feel honest, balanced, and rooted in tradition. You can taste the difference in every forkful — like the recipe came from an Italian family kitchen.
We had the honor of being served my the manager Lee Ann. She was funny and delightful and made the experience that more special. She even laughed at my silly “rotating wine joke.”
Not everything was perfect — the Caesar salad could’ve used a little more love (and more dressing). But honestly, once those meatballs and pasta made their entrance, the table went quiet in the best possible way. JoeBella’s knows what it’s doing, and it does it with Italian heart.
Buonissimo!

We had been to JoeBella’s a few times when it first opened. We thought it was OK, but decided to give it another try since it’s close to home…we are glad we did! Luckily, we got seats at the bar and had the pleasure of being served by bartender Ricky. He had a great personality and never left us wanting. He gave meal suggestions, too, which were spot on. I think he was the busiest person in the room! The food was great, in particular the crispy rock shrimp and penne Romano. And I found a new favorite drink…fig and pear was divine. Can’t wait to go back!

Stylish, Energetic, and Delicious
This Italian restaurant effortlessly blends modern style with classic flavors. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a vibrant, energetic atmosphere—think moody lighting, curated playlists, and a chic crowd that somehow still feels laid-back.
The food? Just as impressive. Each dish is beautifully presented, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that show off the kitchen’s confidence. Whether it’s a handmade pasta, or inventive small plates, everything I’ve tried has been consistently good.
It’s the kind of place where you could go for a casual dinner with friends or a date night and feel totally at ease. The service is on-point too—friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to recommend a pairing.
Trendy without being pretentious, this spot strikes the perfect balance of cool and cozy. Definitely one of my favorites in the city.

What a wonderful experience we had.
We have been wanting to try Joe Bella’s since we moved to the area 3 years ago. Well, last night we finally did and well I am mad at myself for taking so long to try it. From the moment we walked in the staff was super friendly. Our server was extremely nice and helpful and made us feel welcome. The food was FANTASTIC, the drinks were delicious and the overall experience was amazing. We will definitely be back!!

I went to JoeBella’s yesterday around 5:15 yesterday with my cousin. I was immediately greeted by staff and Bella was a great hostess giving me a very nice table. I got the drunken chicken parm as my entree as recommended to me by the staff and it did not disappoint. Overall I would say my experience was amazing and will definitely be coming back.

Our first time here. And the experience and vibes were over the top.
Our waitress Amanda was awesome. She made sure our 1st time there was an awesome experience. She answered our questions and had such an outgoing personality with a pretty smile. She was so nice. Kudos
The food was excellent. The portions were so big. We ended up taking home half of our meals.
My husband tried gnocchi and side of meatballs.which he loved. And him being an Italian meant a lot. If you go get the order of meatballs too.
I had the garlic salmon. I love salmon. It was cooked perfectly. Nice and fresh.
We each had a glass of sangria. Again, it was well represented and a very good choice.
I tried their tiramisu. Omg. It was delicious. I inhaled it, lol, another one of my favs.
We weren’t rushed. Which was great. We got to experience the vibe and enjoyed our time there.
We will definitely be back.

Food mediocre, payment policy illegal.
No parking due to fighting with business next door should have been a warning. Food was average, not worth returning for. When bill came had cash and non cash prices. We paid with debit so advised server should be cash price. Another girl came with the bill stating cannot give cash price, all employees 20 yrs old, owner not there but we can call him next day. I said charging higher price when paying with debit is illegal she responded, ” You know what else is illegal. Not paying your bill”! We were now enraged and insulted but my friend calmly explained that we had all intentions of paying and that she needs to be careful misinterpreting a situation. I explained there needs to be signs and policies written in menu regarding this to comply with state law. I asked her to call the owner and she returned saying she was taking 3% off bill. I filed a report with the state.

Visited Joe Bella’s this Sunday night for a dinner. While the entrance was slightly cramped, the layout of the restaurant was good and the place looked very nice.
We ordered a special as the appetizer, The Fried Burrata Salad, which was fried burrata over arugula, tomatoes, and onion with a balsamic glaze. It was very good. For our entrees we went with the Tagliatelle Mushroom Pasta and the Gemelli with Sweet Fennel Sausage. Both entrees were well cooked and delicious with the Tagliatelle Mushroom Pasta being the standout dish. For drinks we had the Cosmo Bianco which was decent (on the strong side) and the White Sangria which was great.
We were happy to find a new go-to italian restaurant so close to home. The staff was very nice and the service was good as well. We look forward to our next meal.
