One of the best restaurants we went to in Italy. Food was delicious. Pasta and steak was so yummy. So flavorful!! Very private and unrushed service. They were very friendly and accommodating. read more

So let's just say this is my 1st dinner in Italy ever. I had lunch at the train station, but that doesn't really count. It was just OK. The food was fantastic not just kind of fantastic but really fantastic. I said that three times for a reason, it was filled with Italians to start. Coming over from Greece I have the mentality of ordering a lot of food, the friends are with were not used to that. The first thing I ordered was. Chickery greens cooked to perfection and a little spicy. I ordered 2 croquettes one that was a stuffed zucchini flower with cheese and it was so good. The other croquette was potato and cheese and it was so nice. Olive brochette salty and oh so olivey. Spaghetti carbonara was full bodied and a little heavy but tasty. The spaghetti marinara was heaven just what you think of when one thinks of Italy. Green Salad just ok, but the mushroom and ham calzone wrap was devine. I'm already planning my next trip back with my friends bring more friends. The pictures don't do justice. read more

Good food . Service was lacking. Waitress forgot a lot of our order . My son's steak came way late after we were all done eating . But it was worth the wait . She messed up the drink order. We had to wait a long time for our drinks and then she missed the waters At the end they tried to charge us for extra water that we never had. read more

LOVED the gnocchi with Gorgonzola and radicchio, and the panna cotta (with mixed berries) was like silk!

Shhh...keep this a secret. Exceptionally high quality food...check. World class service...check. Value of experience 2-3X the spend...check. Go, but don't tell your friends. read more

Food was great. So was the service. However, we were assigned to the wrong table and since the table was occupied, had to wait for a while before another table opened up. Thenas we we were leaving, we were told the POS for MasterCard/Visa/Amex machine was not functioning. I am NOT in the habit of carrying cash but luckily I had enough to pay for the meal. A little inconvenience. It would have been nice to know prior to being seated. But food and service made up for the inconvenience. read more

Found this place while looking for nearby places to eat from our hotel. First time in Italy and didn't know where to go. This place had some really good reviews on Yelp. It was delicious! The servers were really nice and were really accommodating to us not speaking Italian, service was great! We came back two nights in a row. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Great place great service...great food...call early for a reservation...days ahead is necessary.

A very nice/upscale steakhouse that also serves amazing pizzas and pasta. This is definitely a local favorite and was packed every time we passed by. If you're staying in the area, Joseph is a must. While you can get by at popping in before the busy Italian dinner time (8pm) on weekdays, you might need to make a reservation or wait a little bit on weekends. A very filling meal with an antipasto and 2 seafood pasta dishes only ran us 24 euros. read more

We timed our visit right as we got there before it picked up. When we were walking out, there was a long line. We ate fast as we had an appointment. I ordered the balsamic chicken breast and it was just that, a chicken breast with balsamic vinegar on it. It was good. My wife ordered the spaghetti and it was ok. The service was not horrible, just not as attentive as I thought it was going to be based on the reviews. We had to ask for another water bottle and it never came. The bread was served late, after our meal. We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer and it didn't have balsamic on it. Just tomato's on a piece of toast. I could have ordered the wrong thing though and when I asked for balsamic, they brought it out. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere though with inside options, outside options and what appears to be a covered patio area. I was just not overwhelmed by the food and if I was in the area, would not eat here again. read more

Wonderful Steaks and pizza, great service. Not a touristy place, but a great local staple. Very affordable for the quality and great service. Skip tourist places for at least one evening and come here. read more

Excellent food with great service! We sat outside under a canopy of lights, beautiful setting for a wonderful experience!

This was an incredible meal! Everything was fresh, service was precise and so good. Antipasto buffala- every bite was so tasty and I did not want it to end Pasta with zuchinni Flores - pasta was fresh, cream rich and thick Steak and brocolini- every bite was bursting with flavor. I'm already thinking of the next time I'm going back! read more

fantastic place to eat. I dined there three times during a four night stay in Rome and went back again on my next visit. food is excellent as is value for money. I will certainly go there again on my next visit to Rome. read more

Walked in without reservation, which is a mistake we won't repeat. But we were seated anyway, as it was early. Not a tourist spot at all, though they do have an English menu. I had a fried squash blossom appetizer, which was ok. My seafood risotto was fabulous. My partner's pizza was great. We will be back, next time with a booking. read more

Just laying over in Roma for a couple of nights and found this place on Yelp. We started w/a margherita pizza which was heavenly. (The house red wine was good too...) Then we went to the grass fed beef steak and it simple melted in ur mouth! (The grilled veggies were just ok) but the pasta with mushrooms was divine. To finish it all off, we inhaled the best-ever Tiramisu that has ever blessed my lips... We will go back... read more

This was our first exlerience with food as We just landed and found our hotel. As we walked down the street we found Joseph's and decided we better eat now becase its getting late. To our surprise it stays open until midnight. We walked in looking dead, the hostess ask how many in our party, we said 2. She led us to the very back room then pointed to the rear of another room. We walked back and found a empty table. We sat and waited for a couple of minutes before our server came over and layed down a couple of large square plates, and two short glasses. I noticed that my plate was chipped. I asked the server for a new plate. We took a look at the large menu, and picked a few items, off the starter menu. scamorra bruchetta artichoke bruchetta, zuchinni risotto with prawn and pasta pomadoro. The scamorra bruchetta was so bland, it was just as if they took a piece of cheese and one slice of mushroom and baked it. It was served with 4 little slices of burnt toast. No seasoning on the bread. The artichoke bruchetta was one large piece of sliced bread with an artichoke spread. It was a little better than the other bruchetta. The zuchinni risotto was very fishy. It came with the heads still attached and lots of crack shells in this dish. Which made it very unpleasant to eat. The rice was under cooked and very dry. The pasta pomadoro was also undercooked and bland. But i ate it because i was so hungry. To get any type of service you must flag down the server. We asked to try the tirimisu, this was the highlight of the night. So delish. We finished up and had to flag down the server again to ask for the check. He simply said your table 64. Pay up front. Bottom line, we would go back but i would try the steak, this is what they are known for. Especially when you walk in the front door and see a huge humidity controlled dry aged counter. Oh and the price for dinner, 36 euros. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Rome. It's a favorite with locals from the neighborhood. The pizza is made in a wood fired oven. The steaks are cut at the front meat counter. The wait staff is patient with my horrible Italian. The house wine and the pastas are good. When I'm in Rome, I eat there a couple of times a week and am never disappointed. read more

I wanted something close to the hotel and looked up the reviews. Most of the reviews they had where good. This place was really busy to be in the middle of the neighborhood late at night. To our surprise it stays open until midnight. We walked in looking for the hostess. But nobody help us. You can't miss the great display of meats as you walk in. Especially because that is the first thing you see is huge humidity controlled dry aged counter. The cook pointed us over to the to the cashier and ask her how thing work here. She ask us how many in our party, we said 2. Other lady led us to the very back room then pointed to the rear of another room. Not sure what she said before she walk away. We walked back and found a empty table. We sat and waited for a couple of minutes before our server came over and layed down a couple of large square plates. We took a look at the large menu but it was in Italian. We the server if she could help us with the menu. She ask if we wanted one in English. Yes that would help. I order the Steak but it was very bland, no seasoning. The pasta pomadoro was also undercooked and bland. But my wife ate it after she had to ask for more pasta sauce. Our server was nice but very short answer and had too many tables. At the end she simply said your table is 69. Pay up front. Oh and the price for dinner, 37 euros for two. read more

Lovely, quiet, place for dinner. Opens (for dinner) at 7PM. It was recommended by our hotel & is best known for steak, but, they have pasta dishes, seafood and yummy desserts, as well! Big portions and excellent service - it's best to make a reservation in advance. read more

Joseph's was delicious. Enjoyed some amazing vegetarian risotto and a salad. The portions are large but I'm beginning to think that's just a thing here in Europe. Great customer service. Make sure to check hours! They close after lunch and before dinner. read more

When are not to far from this place so we thought we would walk down and try it. We just got here so we didn't realize that it is more of a dressy place. When we ordered the waitress had a little bit of a attitude. We ordered the main dishes we wonderful, we also bought some mixed veggies, a mixed salad, a chocolate mousse, and a cake with Nutella for our mother who was getting over some jet lag. When we got back to the room we saw all the salad was green lettuce and tomatoes(no dressing), the mixed veggies was okay, the mousse was all over the container and looked gross but did taste okay, the cake and Nutella was just vanilla gelatin and Nutella which was gross. In summary, I gave it a generous 3 because while we were there the food was wonderful and the service was okay. However, I doubt I will return because the sides were barely ok and the dessert was just sad . If you go the salmon gnocchi was the best read more

Fantastic local feel, friendly staff, great value. We ate here on a Saturday night and without reservations the staff made room for our party of four. From the first hello to the last goodbye this restaurant was a great experience. Don't believe other reviewers who frequent Wendy's and have low opinions of good restaurants, this was a very good place to spend a couple of hours with friends over a reasonably priced bottle of wine or two. The steaks were cook to perfection, and the advice we received from a local patron upon entering convinced all of us to go for meat. Sides were great and we cannot offer any advice on dessert as we were all too full. Stefan, our waiter, provided excellent service in English, and the rest of the staff was extremely courteous even with our limited Italian. read more

We ordered steaks and pasta, pizza. They are all good. Well balanced and really good price! A Very nice atmosphere and friendly red hair staff. read more

I ate here many a times on while on study abroad in Rome. Affordable, delicious, real authentic Italian food with its own butcher inside the restaurant. Far better than those scam 10€ deals in the center of Rome that are just tourist traps. This is the place to go when in Rome. I can only hope I get myself back over there to eat here again! read more

Three friends in Rome for a week. We've eaten all over the city but we're staying nearby to Joseph's. We had dinner here earlier this week. The restaurant was very nice with good food and good service. Their English menu and help in ordering was excellent. The beef was outstanding especially with the Gorgonzola and Walnut sauce. The veal scallopini with lemon was also great. The third person in our party ordered a pizza but asked for arugula and Parmesan on the salmon pizza. It was amazingly excellent. The chicory with red pepper and olive oil was a good side dish. I'd definitely recommend coming to this restaurant if you are in the area. read more

We rented 2 bedroom apartment via FlipKey.com very close by and therefore this was our go to place for dinner after walking few miles sightseeing every day. You can choose a fresh cut steak up front from the cooler, which is grilled to perfection. Oven wood baked pizza and open bar antipasti were great as well. Will definitely be back next time visiting Rome. read more

I went to this restaurant based on Roxanne's review. It is indeed a nice place, very popular and busy. However, I thought the food and service were just okay. They were so busy, little attention was paid to us. My fresh salmon pasta dish was good but not spectacular. My son's pizza was yummy for sure. But the green salad was literally only just a bowl of lettuce - no other vegetables. The bread was dry. However, the prices were a good value for the food quality - better than I had eaten elsewhere in Rome as of yet. Unfortunately, I have not yet eaten a dinner in Rome that lives up to the city's reputation in the few days I have been here. But I will keep looking and let you know! read more
