    My first time here and can't wait to come back. Beautiful looking restaurant. I went with 2 of my clients for lunch. The 3 appetizers were perfect. Zucchini Fries , Nancy's Caprese , and Beef Carpaccio .... all delicious . I had Black Truffle Cavatelli w/ Toasted bread crumbs , I seriously thought I was back in Italy ! The Lemon Bowtie pasta with Shrimp was another incredible dish . Another dish , Johns House made Raviolis was another super dish . Service was above Parr .... Ben our server ,went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and well served. don't miss this neighborhood Gem !

    Even the roaring wind and rain couldn't keep us from enjoying lunch at LOJs. Waitperson Jasmine was outstanding as was her "partner" waitperson who's name I didn't get, great service also and warm greeting from Jessica. And, Jessica came outside to help my elderly friend get into the car! Lunch was very good, the whipped ricotta dish which I've had a few times, was a bit over salty...and had too many of the sliced almonds otherwise it tasted good, the thin bread is excellent we loved that! Overall another great afternoon at Little Original Joe's thanks

    The menu at this Joe's is a bit different from the others and probably works with the location. If you're looking for a specific item that you absolutely love from another Joe's - please check out their menu before deciding. My friend who was visiting from another state was hoping to find fried calamari, which is at another Joe's. But the zucchini fries looked amazing!
