Joe’s is a great spot. Everything we ordered was excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. The bread they bring out to start was delicious. The lunch portions and prices are fair, and the service was attentive.
If I had to point out some cons, it would be the windows… they could use a good cleaning. There’s a beautiful view right outside, and it deserves to be shown off. Also, chicken Romano says spicy dish, it was not spicy.
Overall, wonderful place, and I definitely recommend it and be returning.

I’m from NJ, I grew up around AMAZING Italian food. Walking in I’m reminded of home. That’s where the similarities end. This was mediocre at best. I ordered the chicken Marsala, the chicken was chewy and the sauce was watery. I could deal with the watery texture if it was flavorful but it wasn’t. I asked not sit next to the door. Guess where I was sat. Mind you it’s freezing right now and there’s plenty of room.
The waitress took the Marsala chicken off the check when she saw I didn’t eat my food. The only reason I gave this 3 stars.

Hannah was our server and was so nice to us, thank you so much Hannah. The food was hot and fresh and the service was top notch, thanks again Hannnah for making our first time at Joe’s Italian Ristorante a great experience. I think the kitchen staff did a wonderful job preparing our meals as well, thanks again and we will be back.

I had eggplant Parmesan, hubby had pasta with red gravy and Italian sausage, that was the best tasting sausage, I’ve ever eaten. Also gave us garlic rolls. The owner shook our hand and welcomed us there, my new favorite place to go

It was ok, I had the chicken Parmesan. Bartender didn’t tell me her name or really check in on me except asking me did everything seem ok as she handed me my food. The food was filling but I couldn’t really taste anything that felt homemade. I’ll come back for a second try

I was extremely disappointed with my chicken parm. I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant and was really craving Italian, but this was a major letdown. The chicken was clearly a frozen, processed patty, something you can easily see from the texture. That’s unacceptable for an “authentic” Italian restaurant. Very disappointing experience.

The service was amazing but I had got the lasagna from there and it was not so great, tasted like a tv banquet tv dinner
I’ll know what not to get next time and hopefully leave a better review

Delicious! We had a variety of meals, chicken Alfredo, fettuccini, chicken cacciatore, chicken picatta, all portions were very generous, everything tasted amazing. My two year old was devouring the chicken off our plates last night and is currently shoveling in the pasta we had left over! Spinach artichoke dip was amazing as well! We will definitely be back!

The food was great 4/5 despite having a small menu. Stuffed mushrooms were the best thing we ordered. Major drawback- an employee brought her kids to work and they ran around causing chaos the whole time, and then one of them ran into the front door so hard he started wailing. Definitely off putting when trying to enjoy a Valentine’s Day date. I don’t mind kids present as long as they’re mature enough to know how to act in public, and these kids were not.

First time eating here and didn’t know that they don’t take tap to pay, I didn’t have my card. The food and service was phenomenal. When it came time to pay and I realized that I didn’t have my card I had a great conversation with the manager and told him I live 10 minutes down the road and I would go get my card and come back. He refused to let me do that! He told me to catch them next time and for that small gesture of kindness I’m writing this review with all the stars and extra stars of I can, and will 100% not only go back with others, but will ALWAYS give them a recommendation to others! Not many places would do something like that now!
