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.

Exceeded our expectations. Everything we ordered was delicious. The one thing that stood out for us was how friendly and helpful every single one of the staff was from the moment we walked in the door. We enjoyed every minute we were there. If we weren't from out of state, we would be there every week.
