" 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*)

" 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 visited Josephine last Friday and will be recommending it to friends! I enjoyed the ambiance—it felt very special for a casual night out. My meal was nice but felt somewhat lacking in flavor. I tried the Cacio e Pepe, which was executed well but didn’t have the cheesiness I desired. The dessert was unforgettable, so I give them credit for that! I would come back for dessert alone. " (*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*)

" 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*)
