" I recently had dinner at Joe's and was thrilled with the experience. The authenticity of the Sicilian flavors is remarkable! Each dish felt like it had a story, particularly the stuffed artichokes and the homemade pasta. The staff were exceptional, making me feel welcomed and attended to throughout the night. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes after hearing glowing reviews, and honestly, I was not disappointed! The atmosphere feels welcoming and authentic, as does the food. We tried both the arancini and the pasta con sardi, finding them to be comforting and filling. Next time, I am definitely bringing more friends to share the deliciousness! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family for dinner, and it was a wonderful evening! We had the rice ball special and calamari, both mouthwatering. The portions were generous, and the prices were fair. Our waitress was friendly and made great recommendations. A great spot for a family meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Joe's of Avenue U was a taste of nostalgia—reminded me of my childhood visits. The panelle and rice ball specials remain legendary! However, we had to wait a bit longer than we expected, maybe due to the crowd. Overall, still an amazing experience and a solid 4 for the food and service! " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming spot that’s ideal for a casual dinner. Everything is well-priced for how generous the portions are. The baked ziti was delicious and so were the rice balls. My only issue was some inconsistent seasoning; a few dishes could have used a pinch more flavor. All said and done, a lovely evening out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Joe's for the first time and enjoyed the food. The atmosphere was casual and pleasant, perfect for a laid-back lunch. The panelle was crispy and delightful; I could snack on those alone! I would certainly come back to try more dishes from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to place whenever I am in Brooklyn! Authentic Sicilian dishes that remind me of home. I particularly enjoyed the baked salmon and risotto! The flavors are spot-on. The staff have always been friendly and on top of their game. A perfect dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
