" Josephine has a lovely setting and well-thought-out decor. However, I found the dishes a bit hit or miss. I thoroughly enjoyed the Focaccia and Sorbet for dessert, but my rigatoni was quite bland. I expected more from a restaurant that touts itself as upscale Italian. Perhaps next time, I'll try a different entrée and see how they fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an unforgettable dining experience at Josephine last weekend! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance welcomed us with its charming decor and soft lighting. Our server was incredibly attentive, making perfect recommendations from the extensive menu. I ordered the Pinwheel Lasagna, and it was beautifully presented and full of flavor! The homemade pasta was cooked just right. We finished with the Olive Oil Cake, which was a delightful surprise. I can't praise this restaurant enough and will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for my birthday celebration and I must say, it didn't disappoint! The staff had a nice card waiting for me at my table, which was a nice personal touch. The ravioli was delightful, and I couldn’t resist the olive oil cake for dessert, it rounded out the meal perfectly. On the downside, the chairs were a bit uncomfortable for a long meal. Overall though, had a memorable time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Josephine is a gem! I had brunch there last week, and everything was freshly prepared and made from high-quality ingredients. I had the ricotta pancakes, which were fluffy and delicious. The atmosphere was nice, as they had delightful decorations and soothing music playing in the background. Service was prompt and friendly, and my coffee was served hot and strong. I'll definitely return for dinner next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a perfect place for brunch! We visited Josephine on a sunny Sunday morning and sat outside, which was lovely. The White Bean Toast was delicious, and their cocktails were on point! The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had an enjoyable time. We couldn't resist trying dessert, and the donuts we shared were the highlight. I can see why this spot gets packed! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great Italian-inspired brunch options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply an amazing experience! From the moment I entered Josephine, I was enchanted by the warm decor. The staff was friendly and prompt, guiding me through their delightful menu. My selection of seafood pasta with squid ink was unlike anything I'd tried before! It was flavorful and beautifully plated. For dessert, the espresso gelato was surprisingly refreshing. I cannot wait for my next visit to explore even more options on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time celebrating my friend’s birthday here! The service was attentive and warm, with our server really taking the time to make our experience special. We started with the meatballs and arancini, both were fantastic! Every bite felt homemade, as they used fresh ingredients. For the main course, I had the Eggplant Parm, which was tasty but could have used a bit more seasoning. Oh, and I can’t forget the dessert—the olive oil cake was delicious and a perfect finishing touch! Definitely a place I'd come back to! " (*Curated Review*)
