10/10 meal and experience. At a super busy time (6:45 ish) we were seated immediately at the counter, which I’d highly recommend. Gives you an appreciation for how hardworking and skilled the cooks are. The food was immaculate. We got shrimp cocktail, the Prime Rib (rivals House of Prime Rib), and the spaghetti with meatballs. Everything was delicious. It’s loud but the ambiance is part of the experience. Such a cool, classic old school dining experience.

I would say that the restaurant lived up to expectations and had the best pizza I’ve had in San Francisco so far. I would suggest you order a cheese pizza base with pesto, goat cheese and cherry tomatoes, its chefs kiss. The restaurant also offers other delicious things and are flexible with customizations.

My wife and I love Original Joe’s in North Beach! It’s an absolute staple in the neighborhood and one of the most consistent restaurants in San Francisco.
The Food:
• Chicken Parm: I always order this. It’s a massive, thin cut of chicken with a generous portion of cheese and delicious marinara. Get the ravioli as your side!
• Seafood: My wife usually rotates between the Salmon with lemon beurre blanc or the Dungeness Crab Louie (they don’t skimp on the lump crab meat).
• Dessert: Do not leave without trying the Butter Cake. It is incredibly rich, so definitely share it.
The Wine (Pro Tip):
The wine list here is solid, but many of the bottles are heavily marked up. We used the Sip Savvy app to scan the menu for the best value vs rating bottle aligned with our palate. It flagged the Austin Hope 1L bottle as the Best Buy—it was $98, which Sip Savvy showed was one of the lowest markups on the menu for that quality. It paired perfectly with the Italian food. If you’re a wine person, definitely try the app here. It takes the guesswork out of finding great bottles without overpaying!

Original Joe’s offers a truly classic San Francisco dining experience, the moment you step inside, the timeless atmosphere, complete with plush red booths and dark wood paneling, sets the perfect mood. The food quality is exceptional across the board: the grilled steak and rack of lamb were both cooked to perfection and beautifully presented, while the hearty Italian dishes, like the rich ravioli and comforting spaghetti with meat sauce, were satisfying classics. We started with delicious, crisp fried calamari and finished the night with a festive birthday dessert, capping off a meal where the service was consistently prompt, professional, and attentive. Original Joe’s flawlessly delivers on high-quality ingredients, excellent service and a fantastic, old-school atmosphere.

We had our post-ceremony wedding luncheon at Joe’s at the beginning of December and couldn’t be happier with how it went. They were incredibly accommodating during the entire planning and booking process leading up to the big day. The day of, service was immaculate and the food was incredible. All of our guests were raving afterwards about how great the luncheon was. I strongly recommend Original Joe’s for private dining events.

Delicious old school North Beach restaurant with great service. The spicy rigatoni and grilled prawns were perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious and mildly spicy. For dessert the warm butter cake with ice cream smelled amazing, with a hint of nostalgia. Take a look at the wall of family photos and celebrities. Reserve your table at least one month in advance, this place is always busy. There is a bar area for walk-ins, but people do get turned away on very busy nights.

The food was very good, the service was top-notch and it is an extremely clean eating environment, even the baththrooms were spotless. I gave a four for the atmosphere only because the place can be very loud at times and it could ruin an intimate setting. We had the veal milanese (the veal milanese wasn’t on the lunch menu, but they still made it upon request), with a side of meat ravioli and the second dish was spaghetti and meatballs. When we are in San Francisco agian, we will definitely go back.

An absolute North Beach classic! I’ve visited many times for both brunch and dinner. Dinner reservations are recommended, especially for larger parties, though the bar seats are usually available without one. The spicy rigatoni is hands down my favorite: so good! Brunch is also fantastic with big portions. The space is charming with cozy booths and a beautiful holiday setup during the holiday season. Cocktails in the back area are excellent, and service is always top-notch.

Definitely one of the best places in San Francisco ❤️ You need to make a reservation, but it’s totally worth it. We had the prime rib, fried calamari, and ravioli, all were delicious. They also have veal Milanese, which, as an Argentine, I’ll definitely be back to try! The service was good too.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANY REAL FOODIE.
Loud, proud and oh so good, I was a little intimidated (and maybe a little deflated) sitting at the counter. But I went with it and how happy I am that we did.
No food photos, we were too busy having the best italian food we’ve ever purchased. It’s the last night of our 4 week honeymoon, we’ve eaten a lot of food! And this was hands down just the best.
A bottle of wine recommended by our wonderful server, the arancini, farfalle pasta (OMG – drool), the veal piccante and a side of ravioli. We managed to squeeze in tiramisu. It was all to die for. But again, that farfalle was the best tasting sauce.
What impressed us both most was the kitchen staff we watched for nearly an entire 3 hours. The volumes of respect in that kitchen is INSANE!! Every single person worked their butts off, non-stop. It’s a tight space and every one has a write to play and every single person was respected for that role. So glad we got to see the smiles and a bit of a joke amongst all the staff when the rush eased a little.
We’re so so glad we stumbled across you guys and were so glad we sat at the counter where all the legends belong!
My partners only words – “this place is special”
Thank you thank you!
