Can't believe it took me so long to come in here and see what it's all about. Wife and son and I…read morecame in for dinner on Monday night at 530 for dinner. Not slammed or busy. Quick service, kind service, fast ordering and short time for food to hit the table. Even got to talk to the owner of 21 years Chef Nino. What a great guy! What amazing food! The Chicken Cacciatore is fantastic. One of my all time favorite Italian dishes and they nail it. The bread bits and house made marinara are spot on as well. My wife loves her Joe's salad and raved about the house dressing. My son crushed what he could of the lasagna and ate the rest later on that night. I can't wait to come back for a lunch special now. Prices are great for the portions as well.

"WE LOVE ITALIANLICOUSNESS"…read more My Wife and I LOVE Italian Food at Home or going out to eat, but since we don't have our Kitchen totally back (as yet, but close) we went out. Going to "Joe's Italian Restaurant" that creates all their Sauces, Breads and other goodies Fresh every day. Arrived at around 5:30pm or so, were greeted and shown to a table for two. We ordered waters to start while looking over the menu and enjoying a Basket of their Fresh Signature Garlic Rolls, which are shaped like a bagel (or donuts) and are Very Garlickylicious - love the Marinara Sauce. We took some time trying to decide what to order because everything we have had here has been Italianliciousness at it's Finest - Joe's knows how to Italian. When our server returned we ordered. My Wife is having their "Eggplant Rollatini"; Stuffed with Ricotta Cheese & Spinach, comes with Spaghetti and Sauce - also ordered a 'Tossed Salad'; Lettuce, Cabbage, Tomato, Cucumber with House Italian Dressing. I am having the ""Beef Tortellini"; with Alfredo Sauce (other choice was Meat Sauce), also a Tossed Salad with Ranch Dressing. We debated on ordering a Pizza but will wait until next time. While we waited for our food we enjoyed those Garlic Rolls. They are loaded with Garlic and that Marinara Sauce is Marinaraliciousness. Soon the basket of Garlic Rolls was empty and our Server (forgot her name - me bad) brought us another basket & marinara sauce. The second basket was half gone when our Salads arrived - served in a bowl with a large container of dressing on the side. The Salad is Fresh, Cold, Crisp and Delicious. My Wife really liked their House Italian Dressing and the Ranch is really creamy and flavorful - nicely done Joe (he moved to Dallas but the Chef in the kitchen is continuing his deliciousness). Soon our main Entrees arrived and both dishes look amazinglylicious. Joe's Italian cares about what they serve and they are meticulous on how every dish is presented - their Presentation of Deliciousness is Spot-On. It tells the customer that their Dish is Delicious before they even try it - and they want to come back. We have been to Joe's several times and every time it's been some of the Best Italian we have had - and we eat a lot of Italian - Joe's does it right. My Wife's Eggplant Rollatini is Huge and stuffed with a lot of Spinach & Ricotta - and she absolutely LOVED every bite she had. She said it was Uniquely Creativeliciousness (or something like that) and LOVED it. I tried it and she's right - it was Uniquelylicious (or something like that). I also had some of her Spaghetti and it was prepared perfectly. My 'Beef Tortellini' was Creamylicious with lots of Beef stuffed Tortellini - and served Hot from the Kitchen. I ate all of mine, except for a bite I gave to my Wife and she said it was Delicious. My Wife took some of hers home for another day - and also one of their Garlic Rolls. We both are stuffed and wanting to come back for more of their Creativeliciousness that you only get at Joe's Italian Restaurant. Our Server earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award (wish I remembered her name) as all the Servers here have - as well as a nice tip. When you are in San Angelo, Joe's Italian Restaurant is a Must Stop - On the way out we enjoyed visiting with the owner, Nino, and he told us how they make everything fresh every day. When you visit Joe's, you experience Italianlicousness with whatever you order - they do it right. On the way home my Wife and I enjoyed another Beautiful San Angelo West Texas Early Evening - and she stated 'I want to go back to Joes'. We will baby, we will - and soon. For now, just shout out to everyone on how you really feel about Joe's Italian Restaurant. When we arrived home, she did just that - shouting out to everyone on how Delicious "Joe's Italian Restaurant' is - Check out Joe's on Facebook - "Joe's Italian Restaurant" - and On-Line.

We loved the bread they serve and bake in house. In fact all of the pastries are made there. Cannoli's were the best we have had in some years. Our server, Muriel, was on point and very attentive. She gave us some info on the restaurant which was interesting. Ambiance is upscale with linen table cloths and napkins. We were seated next to the windows with a view of the Conch River. I can't say enough good things about Bigas Bistró and Restaurant except to go there and experience its flavors yourself.

We split the fettuccine with a strip steak. Steak was cooked perfectly and topped with herb butter. The Alfredo was rich and creamy and had porcini mushrooms. The portion was enough for us to share. We dug in before I could get a pic! Soooo good! Highly recommend- from service to the atmosphere one of the best dining experiences I've had in San Angelo. A table for 2, with white table clothes overlooking the river was a perfect spot for date night.

Not sure why the ratings are so low, thought everything was great today…read more Came here with some friends for lunch. It was a cozy spot while we sat at the bar, which was comfortable. Chris was great. He took our orders and made sure our water glasses were ful. The hit sake was nice for a colder type of day alon with the miso soup that came with our lunch combo. My spicy tuna rolls were delicious while my steak was really tender. (got it medium rare.) The chicken was flavorful as well. The amount of fried rice was more than enough for two people. Would recommend trying for anyone who enjoys hibachi style food or sushi.
