Rigatoni Bolognese
Elizabeth C.

We saw this restaurant on Instagram, so we tried it tonight. It was very good. The lasagna was very good, same with the Rigatoni Bolognese, pasta was cooked perfectly. The 16 chocolate layer cake was so moist. Give it a try, they also have Gluten Free Pasta.

Josie's is located on the south side of Woolbright Road, before the bridge over the intercostal. A large group of us came for happy hour, arriving at 4:30. We all brought small bills as they don't divide the check for happy hour groups. This family owned italian restaurant began in 1993 as a small neighborhood pizzeria. They have beome a full service restaurant with a bar, handcrafted cocktails and live music. The menu contains Italian classics, fresh seafood, steaks & house made pastas. ​ Happy hour is daily until 5:00 and after 9:00. It's served until 6:00 at the bar, high tops, patio & back dining room. Wines are $7 to $9 while cocktails are $11. Pizza's are $13 or $14 with a wedge salad at $9. I like their short rib meatballs, eggplant parmigiana, rigatoni bolognese, with the shrimp bada bing as their signature appetizer. Tim and the staff took fabulous care of all of us. We tried just about everything on the happy hour menu and it was exceptional.

Summer happy hour drink menu
Jim P.

What's better than happy hour at Josie's? Summer happy hour with even better pricing on the already-super food and drink menu. We went with a large group and were able to make a reservation during happy hour. And the server kindly provided separate checks despite the menu indicating otherwise. That's great service! In fact, the service was excellent throughout our visit, and thus my upgraded rating from 4 to 5 stars. The happy hour menu is quite extensive. The summer deals will be ending very soon, so if you want a draft beer for $3.50 or a house wine for $5, stop by Josie's sooner rather than later. The regular happy hour drink deals, including $10 cocktails, will still continue though. We enjoyed several items from the happy hour menu, including a tender chicken parmesan, penne ala vodka, a tasty prime short rib meatball, amazing eggplant stefania (stuffed with angel hair pasta and covered with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese), margarita pizza, and a wedge salad, which included bacon, tomatoes, onions and a terrific bleu cheese dressing. All of the food was delicious, and the portion sizes were good even though these were happy hour offerings. As the menu indicated, the food was brought out as each item was prepared rather than all at once. The upside is that everything was hot and freshly prepared. The downside is that the food was served piecemeal rather than as an entire meal. I was satisfied with this approach though. The restaurant was pretty crowded on a Monday night. As we enter "season" it will no doubt get even busier. So make a reservation, if possible, and stop by Josie's for happy hour or even for dinner as they also have a nice selection of chef's specials in addition to their full menu.

This restaurant was very nice! I hope to go back as it's a perfect little date night spot. My husband and I came with our 3 littles and the staff was accommodating with that. Our waitress was very kind, the kids loved her! Pizza was amazing, meatball, wedges... everything yum. My only negative was the music. Love the live music but I feel like it should be consistent. The musicians were on and off playing and it made the room feel a bit awkward.

Goat cheese salad

Josie's is a very nice restaurant located on the intercoastal . There is a vast menu with many options to pick from. The food was very tasty with nice portions. There was live music playing which is always a plus. The service was very nice and everyone was very accommodating.

Bang bang shrimp
Pauline C.

Nice happy hour every day but it is a very small bar area so get there early or you won't get a seat. The food is ok, 2.75 the margarita pizza has no taste but after salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and Parmesan it was pretty good!! We had the calamari eggplant parm and bang bang shrimp. Calamari was a bit over cooked and heavily breaded so that pretty much all you tasted, same with eggplant, shrimp were much smaller than a previous photo, not really spicy. All in all just meh.

One of the best and longest happy hours in Boynton Beach. Happy hour is from open to 6pm and again from 9pm to close. Delicious fresh Italian food and yummy martinis at half price. Also a great spot for brunch or an inexpensive date night! Plus they have live music on certain days throughout the week.

We got there around 515 and had a drink at the bar. Our reservation was for 530 and we were seated 535. Note that there is a Happy Hour from 2-6 except in the main dining room where Happy Hour ends at 5. Note that they also have a Happy Hour menu which is very good! They may have gotten a 5 rating except it took about 10 minutes for us to get a menu. That was after my wife went to the manager to complain. That said, Rich our waiter was exceptional! He knew the menu and took good care of us. Their bada bing shrimp was very good as was the calamari, short rib meatballs and bolognese meal. Despite the wait in the beginning we would go back again.

Eggplant Neapolitan . great presentation but lacked flavor
Marcie M.

The food just wasn't great. I've had worse, but I've also had a lot better. The meatballs tasted like they're from a pizzeria. The eggplant apple time was bland . Got the pasta. That was in the shape of a purse, stuffed with pear and a truffle cream sauce. It was just OK. The presentation was better than the flavor on both dishes. Unfortunately, I won't be back.

Chipped bread plate
Michael M.

Having only ever done Josie's fur takeout, I was excited to finally go in person but yeah, no, not so much... Parking is an absolute nightmare here. The spots near the restaurant all devoted to valet spots stared by the nearby Prime Catch. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which was great, but our table was the only one with no silverware setups. Our server seemed new, or at least untrained, but very friendly, even if not overly attentive and since we were out for a good time, things like no setups, water spotted silverware, and chipped bread plates were let go. The food was really, really good and it was almost, probably would have been, enough to salvage the evening but then it was ruined by the cheapness of the restaurant. When the two older ladies at our table asked about splitting a plate of pasta, we were informed that it would be a charge of $5.00 for an extra plate. When we asked about bringing in our own cake for dietary restrictions, we were informed it would be $2.50 per person for them to provide a small plate and a fork. This after ordering multiple appetizers, cocktails, and full meals. Finally a credit card processing fee of $2.86% of the entire bill is added on. Whoever the cheapskate was to make these decisions, please know you are part of what's wrong with the South Florida restaurant scene. You have a beautiful restaurant with delicious food, but you've just lost a half dozen customers for life.

They have plenty of seating, but definitely plan for a little wait because this place stays busy! To start, the garlic knots were absolutely delicious -- warm, soft, and full of flavor. The Caesar salad was also pretty good. For entrees, the sausage and peppers dish was just okay for me; a bit too saucy. But the salmon pasta with vodka sauce was really good and definitely the highlight of the meal. Portions here are generous, so don't be shy about asking for a to-go box! They also have a great selection of drinks and a surprisingly solid lunch menu. The service was wonderful from start to finish -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, a really enjoyable local gem with delicious food, huge portions, and great service. Looking forward to coming back!

Coming from RI which is known for great food & working in the restaurant business for many years.. I am extremely picky when it comes to restaurants. Especially Italian ones.

Not your typical red sauce run of the mill Italian restaurant. Their menu is fantastic.. I have eaten every dish on it over the years & they never disappoint. The desserts are next level and a standout from every other restaurant I've been to, made in house & to die for. I thoroughly enjoy their bar area & cocktails are absolutely wonderful made by my favorite bartenders in the area. I always enjoy my delicious craft cocktails & conversations with Matt behind the bar. He always delivers attentive five star service. If you haven't been to Baciami, I highly recommend you try it.. you will not be disappointed.

It was early Sunday evening when we decided to try Bella Cucina. When we got there the restaurant…read morewas empty. It's fairly large. Several semi booths surround the restaurant with very plush seating and chairs facing the other way. Several full tables in the center of the restaurant and a large bar in the back. My only complaint about the seating is that it makes you quite a bit lower than the table. I'm 6 foot 3 and my head was just barely above the table. The menu was small, but that's OK. I like a small menu. The hot rolls they begin with were fresh and warm. They could've used a little butter, but other than that they were quite tasty. The clam appetizer that we got was amazing. piled high with clams in the shell and topped with a large amount of chopped clams served in a white wine, buttery, garlicky sauce. My lobster raviolis were tender, full and covered in a delicious sauce. My brother's rigatoni Bolognese was perfectly al dente and covered with plenty of wonderful meat sauce. For dessert, I had a luxurious piece of chocolate upon chocolate cake while my brother enjoyed a raspberry cheesecake. Our server was quite attentive and very friendly. I am happy to say that during the course of our dinner more people did come into the restaurant and by the time we were finishing and were ready to leave there were maybe five or six groups of people eating. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and I would be happy to go there again.
