After a two-year closure, Original Joe's, San Francisco’s quintessential Italian-American dining destination, revitalized iconic Daly City institution Joe’s of Westlake, and reintroduced it into the community as Original Joe’s Westlake.

    We arrived far before the time of our reservation. They were still able to seat us right away. We sat outside, but the heaters kept us warm. Service was warm, efficient, and friendly. We started with beets with burrata and toast and then a pizza (great crust!). We thought about dessert but we were already plenty full with just these two dishes.

    Went on Valentine’s Day!!! had reservations at 8, showed up at 7:45 and didn’t get seated until after 9. You would think for a business that’s been open for so long they would have a system for seating during busy holidays. Our Chef James made the wait worthwhile though , he made great jokes and interacted with my son who gets shy in these types of situations. By far the best chef I’ve had here. thank you James
