Joe G's Restaurant Italiano

Warm, inviting atmosphere, despite being downstairs- ground level. I came here specifically to try the pizza and was rewarded with an excellent pie! I had the personal Margherita pizza with pepperoni. It was just enough for one person and was both delicious and beautiful. I loom forward to coming back for a full dinner. The restaurant is larger than it first seems, with both high-top and traditional tables as well as a full bar with seating. They also have outside seating.

Had a lunch here while staying at a hotel nearby based on the reviews I saw on Google and the reasonable prices on the menu. This was a true find!!! We ordered the Joe G pizza as an appetizer to share and we all were just amazed at how mouth watering good it was. My wife ordered the gnocchi with mushrooms and it was the lightest and fluffiest gnocchi and we’ve ever had- and we’ve had many from real Italian chefs. Even the ceaser salad impressed as simple as that is. Alcohol prices weren’t too bad either. Has a very nice ambiance and location is not far from broadway or Columbus circle.

Hard to decide which deserves top billing - the food or the service. After a great day in Central Park we tucked into this incredible spot. Tony met us on the street and instantly was friendly and approachable. Great menu suggestions and impeccable service throughout. Wine recommendation yes. 🍷 Caesar salad on point. Linguine with clams simple and perfect. Great flexibility Tony said yes to every special request tailored dishes “whatever you want we can give you”. Chicken cacciatore tender and flavorful. Fettuccine vodka sauce amazing. It was mid- afternoon and usually dessert not on our list BUT OMG tiramisu and cannoli not to be missed. You will not find cannoli like that anywhere. Put this on your list of must stop places when in NYC.

Food was legit, exactly as expected given the vibe. Service was impeccable, it’s like being treated as one of the family. Friendly, but not too pushy as to interrupt anything. Wine suggestion on point. Kudos. Atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. On a random Monday evening had a few, what seemed to be locals, in the restaurant talking about their lives. As tourists this added a layer of charm for us. Great job team. Well done. Will come again.
