Customer Reviews
Celebrated Moms Birthday and our waitress Amanda was the best. The food was good and filling. The desserts were tasty. We enjoyed it, and it's reasonably priced. The Meatballs with cheese and Thick slice bacon were delicious appetizers. Slightly burnt is better with the bacon. The sauce on the Brussels sprouts was also delicious. You will not leave hungry.
I wanted to love this place after seeing reels about it! We went for the pasta flight and were pleasantly surprised it was happy hour and they had some GREAT deals. Bartender was sooo nice, delivered the drinks efficiently, definitely busy. We both got a pasta flight and shared the happy hour meatballs. Food didn’t really come out hot and I thought the flavor and options on the pasta flight were very underwhelming. Presentation was great, though! Just wish the flavor, taste, and temperature of the food matched. $25 for the flight was a bit steep for how underwhelming it was. The pasta could have used way more sauce, too. Overall, not impressed.
Walking into JoeBella’s feels like stepping into an Italian dreamscape — warm, glowing lights, rustic wood, and a vibe that says, “Yeah, go ahead, order another glass of wine.” It’s the kind of spot where you instinctively loosen your shoulders and start eyeing the specials board before you even sit down. Whether you're tucked into a booth or catching the action from the open kitchen view, the whole place hums with that perfect mix of cozy and classy. But let’s not dance around it — the meatballs are the real main character. These aren’t just good; they taste like Sunday dinners from an old-school Nonna who doesn’t measure a thing and somehow nails it every time. Rich, tender, and swimming in a marinara that clings like a hug, they come with a scoop of dreamy ricotta that melts right into
We had been to JoeBella's a few times when it first opened. We thought it was OK, but decided to give it another try since it's close to home...we are glad we did! Luckily, we got seats at the bar and had the pleasure of being served by bartender Ricky. He had a great personality and never left us wanting. He gave meal suggestions, too, which were spot on. I think he was the busiest person in the room! The food was great, in particular the crispy rock shrimp and penne Romano. And I found a new favorite drink...fig and pear was divine. Can't wait to go back!
Stylish, Energetic, and Delicious This Italian restaurant effortlessly blends modern style with classic flavors. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a vibrant, energetic atmosphere—think moody lighting, curated playlists, and a chic crowd that somehow still feels laid-back. The food? Just as impressive. Each dish is beautifully presented, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that show off the kitchen’s confidence. Whether it’s a handmade pasta, or inventive small plates, everything I’ve tried has been consistently good. It’s the kind of place where you could go for a casual dinner with friends or a date night and feel totally at ease. The service is on-point too—friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to recommend a pairing. Trendy without being pretentious, this spot strikes
