" I've just returned from Joe's Italian Kitchen, and I must say, they know how to do Italian food justice. The moment you enter, the warm and inviting ambiance envelops you. I had the pleasure of trying their signature Pinsa, which was expertly crafted with a perfect balance of crunchy and chewy. The flavors were vibrant and authentic. It's hard to find such genuine Italian taste outside of Italy, and they delivered it beautifully here. The service was attentive yet unobtrusive, making for a lovely dining experience. Overall, I cannot recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Joe's and I was absolutely blown away! The authenticity of the food makes you feel like you've stepped into a restaurant in Rome. I tried the Burrata and it was fresh and creamy, paired beautifully with their homemade bread. As for the service, our waiter was attentive without being intrusive. The setting is cozy and intimate, perfect for catching up with friends. I do wish their dessert menu was a bit broader, but overall, I had a fantastic time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Joe's Italian Kitchen exceeded my expectations. It felt very much like a true Italian restaurant with great food and ambiance. The service was friendly, even though it took a bit longer to get our meals. I would recommend the carbonara as it was creamy and cooked to perfection. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Ottawa! Don’t skip on dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" Joe's offers a real treat for the senses. From the moment you walk in, the aromas from the kitchen draw you in. I was impressed by the specialized Pinsa selection—very unique. I tried a variety of pizzas, and found the crust amazing with the toppings being flavorful and inventive. However, I felt some decorations were a bit cluttered, which took away from the ambiance. Despite that, the staff was polite and the food was high quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Joe's was quite the culinary adventure! We celebrated my sister's birthday here and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff treated us like family. We started with a charcuterie board which was good, but the star of the meal was definitely the Joe Montana Pinsa. Unique and delicious! I was slightly disappointed with the dessert, as the tiramisu felt a bit dry. However, the wait staff was friendly and accommodating, making the experience pleasant despite the minor hiccup. We will be back for sure to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I checked out Joe's and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was lovely, and the food was impeccable. I tried the carbonara, and it was rich and creamy, just how I like it. The service was attentive, and I really appreciated the time they took to explain the menu. I would definitely recommend Joe's for a genuine Italian culinary experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although Joe's has a great reputation, my visit didn't quite align with that. The atmosphere was crowded and the food took longer than expected to arrive. When it did, it was decent but not stellar as anticipated. The service was polite but you could tell they were overwhelmed; perhaps it was just an off night. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
