Overall experience was great. We had been to the prior location many times. Atmosphere was inviting. Some restaurants are too noisy, but at Joseph’s we were able to have conversations without difficulty hearing each other. We enjoyed the food and drinks very much.

Service was very slow for our dinner. Waited a while for everything. Our food was not as good as it usually is at Josephs. Calamari appetizer portion was very small for the $18.00 price. One of our dinners was their Rigatoni con Salsiccia e Broccolini. It was so salty, it wasn't good at all. We have been to Josephs plenty of times in the past and have usually had great meals. This visit was definitely not one of the good ones.
