Joe's Italian Dinners

Talon Schiller

Joe's Italian Dinners is a delightful gem tucked on W Grand Ave! 🍝 The atmosphere is cozy and casual, perfect for a relaxed dinner. I tried the Fettuccine Alfredo, and it was creamy, rich, and honestly one of the best I've had. The highlight, though, was definitely the Tiramisu - absolutely divine!

They have great accessibility features, which is a plus, and I loved the outdoor seating option. My only quibble? Parking was a bit tricky. Overall, a lovely spot for a comforting meal... I can’t wait to return! 🌟

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!

My partner and I so loved our experience at Joe's.
It felt like a step back in time.
There is a ton of atmosphere with interesting objects on the walls and ceilings and low lighting.
The waitress are super casual and friendly.
We saw Joe come out of the kitchen to joke and connect with long-time customers.
They still include bread and salad with many meals plus veggies and pasta, all served at a relaxed pace - we never felt rushed.
For what we received, the prices were amazingly reasonable.
We both enjoyed our food - it seemed pretty healthy (okay, I may have preferred a little less salt, but still delicious.) This was a memorable and positive visit for us both.
Highly recommend!

My family and I stopped for dinner on our vacation and we were absolutly amazed by Joe's.
The atmosphere was very inviting and intimate.
The waitress was fantastic! Very attentive and informative of the specials and the restaurants history.
Each dish is made to order and the food nothing short of exemplary.
By far the best Italian food we have ever eaten! No comparison.
Joe came out to meet us, a real treat to meet the owner and chef.
You rarely will find experiences like this.
A real gem.
Thank you so very much!
