Joe's Italian Cafe was an unexpected, authentic experience. With its quaint charm, freshly homemade food, and readinable prices, it shines as a diamond in the rough. The food, the service, the owner's presence, all create the perfect Italian Dinning event. Absolutely love it!

amazing atmosphere, great pasta and wonderful service. We had the sausage & pepper spaghetti and the chicken Alfredo. We also had the best service from Joe himself. You won't regret eating here.

Joe's is always delicious.Got one of my favorites, the Italian beef sandwich and an order of chicken fettuccine to go ...the Fresh bread is great.They serve it matter what you order, real authentic Italian food, I've had the Pizza as well.It is delicious many of the recipes are Joe's mother's recipes.

Odd experience. Went for dinner around 5pm on a Wednesday. I was almost the only one in the restaurant. Sat at the bar. An older gentleman who worked there (maybe the owner) was also at the bar. When I walked in, he yelled at somebody in the back to come out to help me. The lady who ended up being my server, told me I could sit at the bar and eat dinner, which was what I wanted to do. The older man didn’t acknowledge me or engage in any conversation whatsoever. The area behind the bar was absolutely filthy. The register had clutter and receipts. Strew everywhere in the drawer was wide open. There were dirty glasses, everywhere, garbage, and clutter all over the place. It was very unappealing. Two other people walked into the restaurant, and this older gentleman got up and was very rude to them. Telling one of the people that they need to learn how to read. And dismissing another individual because he spoke Spanish. Very strange. HOWEVER, my server was wonderful. A very nice lady who was very attentive and gave me suggestions what to eat. I asked about the short rib stuffed ravioli and she said it was delicious. And she was right. The food was absolutely outstanding. So overall mixed feelings. But I would go back in a second for more of that ravioli. 😍

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 was delicious. Side salad wasn’t special, but blue cheese crumbles were nice. I found it distracting to have to listen to both the overhead music and the bar TV simultaneously. Closed captioning, anyone? The place is in desperate need of a deep cleaning and paint job. Tablecloth was filthy and the floors obviously hadn’t been swept lately. Would still go back, though. Super friendly waitress, too.

Had shrimp Alfredo it was decent but was a little alarmed when I seen someone with a apron on good outside with it on then come back inside & go to the kitchen I’ve worked at a restaurant before and that is a huge No No don’t think I will be back that’s a little unsanitary for me.

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 much enjoyed the caesar salad. The stratacelli soup however was very bland, even though I could tell the spinach was fresh, which is a bonus. The Angel Hair with Marinara was also somewhat bland. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't amazing. For the price, it might be worth it, but that is about all it has going for it.

Decided to stop by for a bite and was not pleased with the food at all. First notable part of the experience was that the fresh bread was served with butter vs EVO and pepper or parm. The glasses were dirty and seafood was didn’t taste fresh. I placed a napkin over my mouth and discarded it. My hands smelled of the bad seafood, it lingered. I didn’t care for the desserts either, store bought quality and soggy. I think the staff was very attentive but the food honestly was not great at all. Temps on everything were that of a microwave reheat. Great work to the staff but I was there to eat so this was a miss. Please taste test the seafood that comes out next time.

Haven't tried the food. I was told I was going to wait about an hour which I was fine. Until I was told my food was given to another customer who ordered doordash. Food smells great I will say. The lady was nice and I know it's not her fault. But it is frustrating to wait for an additional 25 minutes. I came because it was greatly recommended by my friends. Just beware that they are understaffed so they will take a long time. The employees and the ambiance seem nice that's why I gave this place 3 stars. I am absolutely angry. I cannot believe the owner takes pride in these ridiculous portions. Please people go to Olive Garden if you are ever craving lasagna. This is an absolute mediocrity.

We just got out from this restaurant, Saturday night 5:30pm. We were a party of 7, 4 adults and 3 kids. Since we came something was rare; no coffee, no water bottle just tap water and fountain drinks. The restaurant was empty our 2 boys were talking and laughing. The owner stared at them and asked to lower the voice, he went to the kitchen and asked the waiter if we were done, they turn off the lights on top of our table. After being there for 35 mins approximately we noticed just old people come to the restaurant. If this is not a kids friendly restaurant and even more ASD kids aren’t allowed please put a sign on your door.

We had a FREAKING COCKROACH in our food. Completely disgusted. First time ordering last time ever to eat there. Buyer beware. They refunded us sure, but that DOES NOT exclude the fact that it's dead, and that an employee had to PACK THE CONTAINER, meaning it was COOKED with the meal. Unforgettable and unacceptable.
