Joseph's Restaurant

Food was perfectly prepared, flavorful, fresh. Service was helpful, quietly attentive and very well executed. Beautiful restaurant. We ate at Joseph's the afternoon before Thanksgiving, and we enjoyed seeing the owner sitting down with the whole staff to enjoy a team pre-Thanksgiving meal together. A staff well cared for does a better job.

This was such an amazing find! The service is warm, and the food is exactly what you would hope it would be. The restaurant itself is very quaint and well apportioned, and you do not feel like you are sitting so close to someone that you could share food. It was a great place to have a quiet evening meal. Service was very prompt, and always made you feel welcome. The food itself was perfectly cooked and very well flavored. And given the fact that you can get a reservation last minute, you just can’t pass this place up. Joseph’s is definitely a hidden gym.

Reliable FiDi Northern Italian classic—Joseph's has that refined, welcoming vibe perfect for business lunch or relaxed dinner. Food was solid: eggplant rollatini creamy and flavorful, rigatoni alla vodka rich and balanced, chicken scarpariello tender with good herb kick. Portions generous, pastas al dente. Service was okay—attentive at times but a bit slow/inconsistent during busy hours. Atmosphere shines: multi-room setup with warm lighting, wine racks, cozy fireplace areas, large bar—feels upscale yet comfortable, great for groups or dates.

I was unpleasantly surprised after going there with high expectations. Appetizers were really bad except the calamari. Pasta dishes were fine but not fine dining level. Over all it is a basic Italian restaurant with food below average

My partner and I came here for dinner expecting it to be phenomenal given so many great reviews. This was FAR from the case. We did the prefix menu for fun but when the apps came it was either my burnt and cold bread or her bland caesar salad (seriously it tasted like wet lettuce with a couple of capers). Entrees were just as bad. Portion sizes were awful considering the price. 5 raviolis? Not to mention when you bite into them it tastes like it was filled with the ocean. I’ve never had so much salt in my life. Steak was decent, orzo was terrible and bland. Both entrees came out cold despite being the only people in there. Not exaggerating, we figured it might be quiet however we were the only party so this was unacceptable. Tiramisu was excellent though! Service was fine, not over the top
