Josie and Tony’s, thanks a bunch for the fantastic meal! From the moment I stepped inside, I felt like I was transported to the heart of New York City. And guess what? The restaurant was buzzing with energy! There was a live pianist playing, creating an ambiance that was truly special. The food was absolutely incredible, with dishes like the zucchini flowers with a fresh tomato sauce and the zucchini pancakes topped with whipped cheese that left me craving more. It was a truly memorable experience!

From the moment I sat down with a glass of Lambrusco, I knew this wasn’t going to be an ordinary dinner, and I was right. I experienced their “Shut Up & Eat” tasting and was completely blown away. The evening kicked off with a rich prosciutto and mortadella antipasto and a Caesar salad made tableside with old school flair and flavor.
We followed that up with linguini & meatballs and sausage with a side of sautéed greens, classic dishes executed perfectly. The wine pairings were next level, especially the Piemonte Barbera and a rare Kerner by Strasserhof.
But what really sets Josie & Tony’s apart is the hospitality. The owner took us downstairs into their members only wine cellar, showed us the exclusive deli setup, and even let us see their private knife collection for members. To top it off, they printed my Franjez logo on my Busquatti espresso martini. Unreal.
If you’re looking for incredible food, personalized service, and a true Italian experience with a twist, this is the place.
A must-visit in Norwalk.

My friends and I had a girls’ night out here and chose the “Shut Up and Eat” experience with the cocktail pairing, and it was absolutely incredible. I’ve never been to a restaurant that offers such a unique and immersive dining experience. We were blown away by the quality and creativity of every dish and cocktail. The portions were generous, the cocktails were perfectly paired! all at a very reasonable price. If you’re open-minded when it comes to food, I can’t recommend this enough. Josh and his amazing team made the night truly unforgettable! Especially the server Lauren who is drop dead gorgeous and elevates the dining experience

Josie & Tony’s is the first supper club to open in Fairfield county, and they’ve also recently opened a deli in the lobby of the restaurant. This review is based on our experience at the deli, but I’ll definitely update it once we come back to visit the restaurant for dinner sometime!
All of the sandwiches are made on locally-sourced bread from Wave Hill, and the ingredients used are all of great quality. There’s a nice variety to choose from – some of our favorites were the chicken parm and Italian combo. You can’t leave without trying the rainbow cookies though: they’re made from the owner’s mother’s recipe, and the homemade jam makes all of the difference! These were some of the best rainbow cookies I had ever had. There’s a small seating area by the window, and you can see into the charming restaurant when you’re standing at the counter. With such a great experience at the deli, we can’t wait to come back and visit the restaurant!
Part 2: As promised, I went back for dinner at Josie & Tony’s and had a really nice experience! Having the Caesar salad prepared tableside really stood out to us, and all of the food was delicious. I took my mom for a girls night and we really loved the old Hollywood vibe. This meal reaffirmed for me that this is definitely a Norwalk gem!

Oh my gosh! This place is an iconic dinner place, but the lunch sandwich takeout is divine. Prices range from $15-20 but all the ingredients are hand made! A must try for Italian sandwiches

I had to write a review for our dinner at Josie & Tony’s. We went tonight, for my first Mother’s Day. The ambiance is really nice and the service? 10/10! The bartender, whose name I did not catch (he was wearing a cool floral shirt!) was so kind and whipped up some mocktails for us as we don’t drink. And our waiter, Gene (short for Eugene) was amazing. He was so engaging, and incredibly kind! He checked in on us frequently and really made the entire experience a joy! The food was incredible and I really wanted to shoutout Gene for his service! He wished me a happy Mother’s Day, we talked about our daughter, he shared about his kids, and was just a gem. I would absolutely come back here, food was also incredible! Definitely will be back!

When I heard that renowned sommelier and veteran restaurant GM Josh Mesnik was opening his own restaurant, it was a no brainer that I’d be making a stop at his inaugural Norwalk experience, Josie & Tony’s. It is, simply put, one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. How lucky Norwalk is to have this gem and how envious Westchester, Long Island and even NYC will be.
Let’s start with the ambience. The spacious restaurant, loaded with elegant hightops, perfectly spaced tables, a long, plush bench seat and the most comfortable chairs ever, is adorned with gorgeous and fun photos of classic icons on a wall of tastefully lit white box trim, setting the mood for a fancy yet super fun evening of dining. From the gorgeous smoky mirror that spans the length of the massive and clever bar to the perfect playlist of tunes in the background, you immediately feel at home and like you’re amongst family.
Our server, Kat, was stellar and the meticulously genius bartender, James, served us some of the best cocktails we’ve ever sipped (get the Little Italy).
Let’s talk food. Italian joints are a dime a dozen. Many have the same classic fare that’s totally delicious, but they can have a tendency to be uniform and play it safe. Your alla vodka here or your chicken parm there. All great in their own way, but sometimes you just want to have some fun with dishes that range from more obvious classics to just brilliantly inventive. This is that place.
Here, you’ll find pasta that is only made in house, and let me tell you something — Every single twirl ‘round the fork and bite is one to savor. We started with the glorious braised artichoke and mouthwatering spiedini (basically veal rollatini stuffed with bacon, provolone and caramelized onion and then breaded and seared). Two things certainly not found on most Italian restaurant menus, but that should be. We immediately knew the stage was set for a very special night to come.
Before our next courses came, we were made sure by Kat and Josh himself that all was to our satisfaction (it most certainly was). After the perfect spacing between our appetizers and another cocktail, we were presented with our entrees. Speaking of which, the works of art that were placed before us were something straight out of a culinary dream.
I ordered the spiral house-made sausage with fresh linguine, and my partner ordered the beef brasciola served with polenta (essentially succulent Italian short ribs taken to the next level). We also shared the pappardelle (also house-made) which was smothered in a completely unique foie gras ragù and zucchini pancakes. All things I’ve never experienced at an Italian joint. The delicate pastas were “last meal” caliber. The sausage was the best I’ve had in my life and my partner practically licked his plate clean of the brasciola (I had a bite and can attest it was exceptional). In fact, all of the plates were literally licked clean with no shame whatsoever. Josie & Tony’s fun and inviting atmosphere would have wanted it that way.
As for dessert? Good luck deciding. But the house-made chocolate-smothered rainbow cookies with raspberry jam was our choice. As delicious as it is Instagrammable, this was a meal to remember.
The restaurant was packed on just its third day of operation and the service flowed as smoothly as if it had been operating for years. No doubt due to the symphony of pro staff Mesnik has assembled and conducted. We feel fortunate to have arrived when we did because this place is going to be one tough reservation to land. It’s the kind of restaurant you’re going to brag about to your nearest and dearest because you want to show everyone you have good taste and lead them to the best.
The next time you want a taste of how beautiful life can be, no matter how harsh the climate outside, Josie & Tony’s will make you forget all your troubles and take to you there for a few hours. Until the next time at least.

My husband and I went last night with another couple. It had a nice vibe and great music. The service was very good. We tried the clams casino (terrible) , seafood salad (just ok), and the halibut was fishy and didn’t taste like halibut. The Caesar salad was really tasty, but they charged extra for anchovies, which didn’t seem necessary. My friend had the eggplant parmigiana which I tasted and didn’t love. She also asked for extra marinara sauce as the dish was a little dry. They charged $3 for the extra sauce, again didn’t seem necessary. The spiedini was just okay and I’ve had very good spiedini in the past. I would love to go back but hope they make the needed changes to improve their food, especially the seafood.

My wife and I went here for dinner last week. Everything was absolutely stellar. The service team was incredibly attentive and friendly. The cocktails were out of this world and all had a unique twist to them. The table side Caesar salad was hands down the best that I’ve had. I had the chicken parm (pictured below) and it was a home run. Finished up with dessert and couldn’t have been happier. Very trendy atmosphere as well. I highly recommend that you check it out!

SUCH a treat – it was my first time in Norwalk and I will be driving back (from out of state) to go back to Josie & Tony’s… very cute ambiance and vibe (cool music as well) and the FOOD!!! I had super, super fresh oysters and the best pork chop I’ve ever had – bar none. Perfect blend of spices and melt in your mouth tender… also the GM/manager (owner, maybe?) recommended a really unique wine pairing I never would have thought of!!! So, so tasty.
