This place is an Escondido hidden gem… It has been here forever and once you eat here you will know why. The only knock on this place is that it can take a while because everything is cooked to order. Just don’t expect a quick in and out dinner and enjoy the food

Love Joe’s Italian! Such a cozy spot to enjoy a glass of wine and pasta meal! The interesting decor and big, red comfy booths are what I love about dining inside. My favorite dish is the stuffed mushrooms appetizer, but every pasta dish I’ve tried is good too. Looking forward to going back again for another enjoyable dining experience.

Got takeout from here while staying in Escondido. The food was very good with generous portions. The order was large, and the woman taking the order from the phone was very thorough to make sure everything was right. Very happy and would definitely go back if ever back in town.

We came at 6:30 on a Friday without reservations. They had a small table in a cozy tasting room for us to wait for a table. The decor is interesting, so the short wait went quickly. The food is excellent, the staff are attentive, and the place is filled with Italian memorabilia. This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants anywhere.

Been going to Joe’s for 40+ years. The difference now vs then is the quality, selection, and amore with every meal. It just keeps getting better and better. Joe really loves his restaurant. As we all do, particularly me.

Great little local Italian place located in Escondido. The bruschetta bread is great and a way bigger portion than I thought. Their Shrimp Primavera is delicious and big enough for 2 to share. Portions are big and worth the price. If in the area and you’re looking for Italian then I highly recommend skipping Olive garden and coming here. Very intimate settings and the decorations are adorable.

An Escondido gem. Old school Italian dishes and decor. Delicious, carefully prepared food. Perfect for couples or group of friends. Warm, comfortable atmosphere. Not for those in a hurry.

We are only in the area once a year, but we spend a couple hours of our trip here(2.5 tonight). Dinner is always amazing. Ordered all the desserts tonight and the family and I enjoyed every bit of them. Dark yes, romantic for couples absolutely. Fast most defenitly not, fresh absolutely. Portions very generous. Price extremely reasonable. Angelina always on point with service, year after year!!!
