" Honestly, Josephine left me a bit disappointed. The place had a wonderful ambiance, but the food didn’t quite match the hype I had heard from friends. I tried the rigatoni, but it felt underwhelming; I expected more flavor and perhaps a little more sauce. The olive oil cake was nice, though! As for service, it was decent but not incredibly welcoming. I think I’ll give it another shot, but my first impression didn't sweep me off my feet. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic meal with a group of friends at Josephine. I loved the drizzled balsamic glaze on the focaccia, which made the bread absolutely mouthwatering! It was a great starter before moving on to my entrée of seafood pasta. Each bite provided a burst of flavor, and the portion size was just right. I left room for the dessert, which was sweet and delightful. Can’t wait to go back for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" Service was great, but I expected more from the food. The portion sizes were fine, but the flavors didn't match up to pastas I've had elsewhere. I sampled the Ravioli and while the presentation was lovely, the taste was a bit lackluster. I did appreciate the staff’s friendliness and the relaxed atmosphere, which made for a pleasant outing. I might give it another try, just hoping for a more flavorful experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" For a casual night out, Josephine delivered an excellent dining experience! The service was prompt and the servers were very accommodating. I tried the Bolognese, which was hearty and flavorful. Although the portions were decent, I did leave wanting a little more. The ambiance made it a comfortable place to relax. I’ll definitely be back for the pasta dishes! " (*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*)

" 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*)

" 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*)
