" Our recent anniversary dinner at Joe Bologna's was a bittersweet one. The food was delicious, I particularly loved the spaghetti with marinara which had a taste of home. However, our server seemed overwhelmed and we waited too long for drink refills. The ambiance made up for some of the service flaws, given the lovely setting of the church. I would still recommend it, but hope they can get their service under control for my next visit. Oh, and definitely try the garlic breadsticks! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough good things about Joe Bologna's! Our family recently dined here and we were all so impressed with the food and the service. The pizza was phenomenal; the flavor of the sauce was unlike any other pizza joint I've been to! We tried a mix of dishes, including fried appetizers, which were all delicious and satisfying. The highlight was definitely the service; our waitress was ever-present and so friendly. Overall, a wonderful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After years of hearing about Joe Bologna's, I finally made the trip to dine here! The service was great, but the food was a mixed bag. The spaghetti with meatballs was flavorful while the chicken alfredo lacked seasoning. However, I’m dying to try the desserts, which I heard are excellent! The ambiance was delightful, so I'm hopeful for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love Italian food, this is a must-visit! The breadsticks are a revelation, and the marinara sauce is so rich and flavorful. I enjoyed the chicken parmesan, which was tender and well-cooked. My server was cheerful and attentive, which made a big difference. I can't wait to take my family to share this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Joe Bologna's for the first time was a delight! The historical setting adds to the charm of the place, and the service was quite attentive. I ordered the manicotti and it was delicious and filling. My only downside was the wait time for a table; a little longer than I expected. However, the food made it worth the wait! I will be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience at Joe Bologna's with the family! We were seated promptly and our food was fantastic. Everyone loved their dishes, from the pizza to the pasta and of course, the famed breadsticks which stole the show. The service was attentive and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this place to friends looking for a great meal in a cozy setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Joe Bologna's expecting great Italian food and was generally pleased! The server was attentive and the ambiance welcoming. However, the pizza was a bit underwhelming; the toppings were sparse for my tastes. The breadsticks, though, lived up to their reputation! I will likely return to explore more of the menu!
