Joe's Italian Cafe - Addison

I had been looking forward to trying this place out, because I know it is an Addison institution. The atmosphere is nice. Cute place with nice music playing. The lunch prices were great, as was service. The portions were a good size.. I also very muchenjoyed the caesar salad. The stratacelli soup however was very bland, even though I could tell the spinach was fresh, which isa bonus. The Angel Hair with Marinara was also somewhat bland. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't amazing. For the price, itmight be worth it, but that is about all it has going for it.

Christine, the server was on point when I say the best meal I?ve had in a while. You can tell she was an old-school granny who was doing her thing. I never had to ask for a refill or anything. Now the food!!!! I almost asked where Joe was. I felt like Iwas served a fresh home cooked meal meant for a family at dinner time. We ordered the Cheese Ravioli, Seafood Canneloni, CrabCake, Shrimp Alfredo, Short rib ravioli, and salad with house-made dressing. We will take that drive from Frisco again for thefantastic service and excellent food.

Great food, amazing staff, gnocchi melts in your mouth as it touches your tongue, dessert was amazing too. I?m from Boston where the Italian food is to die for, this place though beats all the restaurants in the north end. I will definitely be back andbring my family too, great jobs Joe?s.

This is a true mom pop sort of Italian joint. Very tasty and fresh pasta, definitely homemade. Menu likely hasn?t changed since they opened 20 years ago, so nothing healthy in sight. Bread on the side is fresh and pretty good. Eggplant parmigiana wasdelicious. Side salad wasn?t special, but blue cheese crumbles were nice. I found it distracting to have to listen to both theoverhead music and the bar TV simultaneously. Closed captioning, anyone? The place is in desperate need of a deep cleaning andpaint job. Tablecloth was filthy and the floors obviously hadn?t been swept lately. Would still go back, though. Super friendlywaitress, too.

Absolutely amazing! Everything is homemade from the hot bread to the salad dressing, sauces and desserts. Christine is so friendly and made my meal even more enjoyable. I recommend this for everyone wanting authentic Italian food and a very pleasantexperience!
