Joe's Italian Kitchen

The food and atmosphere was great. I had the chicken and shrimp Diablo, and it was very refreshing with just the right amount of spice. We wanted a change from the normal food in this area, and this was exactly what we needed. My wife had the tour of Italy and loved it all. The kids had pizza, and it was surprisingly good. I would say this is the best Italian food around. I don't know why it took us so long to try it. We will definitely be back.

My mom and I, after visiting that other Italian Restaurant, visited Joe's Italian Restaurant in Nall in Port Neches. Using our criteria of 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars, atmosphere, cleanliness, service, food, and price, we walked inside to a place we immediately began to think was a great find. The atmosphere was good and there seemed to be many repeat customers. (Gain - ⭐ Atmosphere). The place seemed clean enough (other than some condensation in the salt shakers) (Gain - 1/2 ⭐). Everyone knows that since Covid, cleanliness is a must with zero tolerance, and this place was kept clean. The waitresses were fantastic and helpful, and what I noticed, was the Owner, Joe, seemed to be everywhere, on the phone, in the kitchen, greeting customers, a tireless and accomodating host. (Gain - ⭐ Service. When the food arrived, it was hot (Another one of my big things) and it was also downright tasty. Unlike that other restaurant, Joe's Italian Restaurant had red pepper and parmesan cheese on the tables. My spaghetti was delightful and the marinara tasted a little sweet, to remove the acidity, and it was really delicious. (Gain - ⭐ Food). At long last, we ate til our bellies were full, and when the check arrived, saw that instead of spending $40 to $60 for Italian food at other restaurants, here at Joe's Italian Restaurant, we could eat even more delicious food, at around $27. Gain - ⭐Price). Wow! This Joe's Italian Restaurant ( Salt Shakers) is graded 4 1/2 ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2 Stars, out of 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars. Congratulations to the Owner and staff for such a wonderful job, and we will be back to this little gem, and I am sure that next time, this place, nearly perfect, will become perfect with 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars. Thanks Joe!

To know Mr. Salas (aka Joe) is to love him. We are repeat customers and I can’t recall ever having a bad experience here. He’s always on the move making sure the food and service is on point. If you ever catch him on a slow day, ask him about the time he found 30 Mid-County residents at the Istanbul airport!

Everything I've tried there is so amazing I'd eat there forever if I could, the spaghetti just melts in your mouth as well as the pizza, I look forward to it each time this is where my family gets there pizza.
