We went for my wife’s birthday and experienced excellent service and delicious food. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, gnocchi romano, and meat tortellini romano. The mushrooms were flavorful, the pasta was tasty, and the sauce was delicious. The bread served was okay, but the soup was good. The vibe in the restaurant was calm and nice. We dined with our young toddler and our server was so sweet towards him. There is a kids menu, which I forgot to grab a picture of, but did capture the rest of the menu.
Highly recommend for some great Italian cuisine that feels intimate.

We have dined here for 27 years. We loved ever visit. The Food is always excellent and the service is warm, caring and attentive. It’s the most romantic dining in Escondido… but what do we know … we’ve only been married for 56+ years ❤️

We came here with a large group, they were able to accommodate us, fortunately, because we really wanted to eat here! The food is very good. Is it the best Italian food you’ll ever eat? Probably not. However, it may be the best Italian dining experience I’ve ever had! I love the decor and the general ambiance. You feel like you’ve stumbled into a relative’s house, and you are being treated like family! Service was very friendly and warm and professional. my eggplant parmesan was tasty and others enjoyed their dishes like linguine with clams, lasagna, etc. Reasonable prices. I would recommend checking out this place if you’re in the area.

Everything was delicious! We walked in and waited in the back waiting room to be seated. This waiting room was so decorated and really felt homey. After about five minutes our table was ready.
For appetizer we ordered the stuffed mushrooms, for entrees my wife got the fettuccine Alfredo and I got the chicken cannelloni. Each entree came with a said of soup or salad and we both got the salad. They also came with bread which the server recommended they bring out first because the food is all made fresh so it takes a bit more time l. The bread was delicious with the whipped butter. The stuffed mushrooms were served on top of slices of bread and covered in a white cream sauce (maybe Alfredo) and topped with parmesan. It was so good! Then the salads came out about 15 minutes later. These were fresh salads with Italian dressing that was homemade and oh my goodness it was the best Italian dressing I’ve ever had in my life! So good! The fettuccine Alfredo was so creamy and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The chicken cannelloni was very good quality pasta and lots of cheese which I love. I just wish the marinara sauce was a little more exciting or they had used a more flavorful sauce.
The server was great and patient with us because neither of us had been there before. The bill came and it was about $67 not bad at all for a meal for two of this quality. Also they have us mints with the check that were also delicious!
Will definitely be back!
Update: Came back and it was just as good! I did get to see Joe come out and talk to a few people which was an absolute honor! The pesto and carbonara were absolutely delicious!

Our server was great and very attentive and the atmosphere is really cozy. I ordered the veal piccata, which was good, except for the fairly small portion of pasta. I had also asked for it to be al dente, but it came out so soft that it was crumbling on itself. The meal was overall good, with the mushroom caps appetizer being a standout.

Old school Italian. Classic dishes. We had the pomodoro and veal marsala. Both were very good. The ceaser salad was also good. The soup, pasta fagioli, was unremarkable. They need to up their bread game. The interior is quite charming. They don’t take reservations, so expect to wait.

Love Joe’s Italian! Such a cozy spot to enjoy a glass of wine and pasta meal! The interesting decor and big, red comfy booths are what I love about dining inside. My favorite dish is the stuffed mushrooms appetizer, but every pasta dish I’ve tried is good too. Looking forward to going back again for another enjoyable dining experience.
