    My parents have been coming to Julio's for over two decades... We have since moved out of the area but this weekend we were in town for an event, and my parents insisted that I come to dinner here with them. I'm so glad I listened to mom! :-) What a wonderful dinner! Rack of lamb was stupendous, Dad got the salmon, which was very flavorful! This is not a rush and eat quickly type of restaurant. Expect to be here in an hour or more. But it's worth the wait. Every dish comes out prepared to order. Fresh ingredients & we ate in the dining room -but the café also looked very inviting. If I'm ever in Clarksburg again and want a nice sit down dinner with a wonderful glass of wine, I will definitely come back to Julio's!

    Just walking in the door of Julios is an experience. Sitting in the front bar area vs. the back dining area are like two totally different experiences. I would describe Julios decor as "rustic Italian." Everything we have ever had here is delicious - fresh and perfectly prepared every time. The service is impeccable. Menu and wine options are impressive. If you plan to dine for a special occasion or holiday, be sure to call for a reservation!

    Truly one of the greatest dining experiences in North Central WV, if not the state. Ingredients are sourced locally, and from the vendors from Pittsburgh's strip district - in fact unless things have changed since my list dinner visit, there is no printed dinner menu, it all factors on what is fresh that day. Although I have relocated nearly 2000 miles to Las Vegas, I try to make time on each visit back to WV to stop in here for lunch. The pasta fagioli alone is nearly worth the price of the flight. They offer 3 kinds and I usually get a red, and get a red and a white to go - my grandmother (93.5 years old) LOVES the fagioli, and has me mix the red and white together - she and my aunt will have at least 2 days lunch out of the generous portion. The sandwiches are delicious, incredible value for their filet on a sandwich. The salads are wonderful too, especially topped with a nice salmon filet if it's available. I don't think the broccoli sauce is on the menu anymore, but they made it for me the last time I went. Desserts are made in house daily - no frozen junk here. Julio's for lunch is very affordable. For dinner - it is a special occasion/splurge, but well worth it. Truly a hidden gem in Clarksburg's Glen Elk neighborhood.

    Lamb Special

    I very much enjoyed this restaurant. On a Saturday night, it was not very crowded there were about 5 tables eating. We did not need a reservation. It was quiet and the décor is rustic and Italian. The food is delicately prepared and delicious, everything on the menu has a made by momma at home feel, but it is upscale enough to pay the money for. I felt that the food came out extremely slow for a restaurant with 5 tables in it and zero people at the bar. In fact, there was no bartender at the bar which leads me to believe that someone may come if I sat there, but I'm not sure. We waited 5 minutes for menus and a few more for waters. 10 minutes later bread came, and even longer for the appetizer. Salads did not come until much later, and then the meal arrived much after that. We were at the restaurant for around 3 hours. I also felt it odd that the other server or runner or whomever it was would bring our server plates for other tables while she was taking our order or talking to us, and she would abruptly take the plate from him, leave our table and run the plate to another table. He apparently will bring the server whatever is ready whenever it is ready no matter if she is not at that specific table or not, which it was weird to have this kind of serving going on but it didn't really bother me much. Two of us got pollo funghi, which was good although I wish the chicken had more of a sear on them for more flavor, as it looked to be boiled chicken breasts or something. The wine sauce and the pasta was a light delicious combination. The salmon looked to be cooked perfectly, and the lamb special was also cooked perfectly and was yummy. I did not care much for the white pepper sauce they brought to accompany it, but it was not bad either. The meatball appetizer was out of this world. I could eat that every day. Meatballs were tender and did not loose their shape, and the sweet and spicy peppers that came in the sauce were amazing. I would have loved to try the tomato plate and peppers, but we knew we would be too full. It was 3 of our party's birthday, and they brought us a large warm piece of pistachio cake to share which was delicious. Our server was very attentive and excellent at her job, she even removed a straw wrapper from the table and reorganized our silverware without us even noticing. Overall we had a nice time and would definitely make it "our spot" if we lived in the area.

    A few of my co-workers went in for lunch and we all ordered the same sandwich the gisapie (sp) and it was pretty good. Service was good and though dark and dim the interior is interesting.

    Filet and lobster!
    Rob G.

    I am well travelled and from a food service background, we ate in the dinning room where I hade the lobster and filet. Both were easily the best I had ever had. I had been warned about the prices, and was still surprised at how expensive it was. That is the only reason it didn't get 5 stars. This is not a quick eat and go establishment, but the service and atmosphere were very good, and in line with what one would expect for a "fancy" restaurant" in a big city. Unfortunately, so r the prices. You better enjoy food and not be picky because u get what they have and prepare, but again, everything they described, and I saw delivered to ours and others tables was excellent.

    Great environment, food was good, waitress was kind. The charbroiled chicken sandwich was okay…read morenot the pulled pork and fries were better.

    Firstly, no hate on the food, it was great. I got the fish and chips and it came out hot, crisp,…read moreand had good flavor. The coleslaw was finely shredded, which was a pleasant surprise, and dressed in the regular mayo sauce. The tartar sauce was the only thing mediocre seeing as it wasn't that tangy or acidic, it was pickley, which I like pickles, but I want my tartar sauce not that pickley. Now, as for why I only give it two stars. I came in with a group of 12 for lunch at about 1. I know this can be a bit overwhelming, but I don't think they had properly trained for scenarios like this. We talked to a waitress/host and she had said that they are doing tables in sections, which we were like, "We understand and would be ok if you had to split us into two tables," but I just don't think she knew what to do. So, she asked her manager, I presume, and they ended up putting tables together to accommodate us, and turned it into a teaching moment saying, "Anyone can do this" in reference to putting available tables together to seat a large group such as ours. After we were seated and had gotten our menus we put our drink orders in, which came out within a fair amount of minutes. We put in our food orders about 5 minutes later. Nothing too customized, just normal cheese, no cheese, sub regular fries for sweet potato. She took our order and never came back to our table until the food came out. This was a good 50+ minutes. I understand food for a large group can have a long wait time, but part of the service industry is giving updates and refreshing drinks. Other tables had came and went during the time we were there, it was quite bothersome. We had someone go up and ask about our food since we were all hungry and a bit ticked off. Soon after that we got what we ordered. Well, mostly at least. One person had ordered the portobello sandwich and that comes with sweet potato fries according to the menu. They came with regular for her plate. Not that she complained, the regular turned out more crispy than the sweet potato. It would have been nice to know in advance that they would have to sub it if they had ran out of sweet potato fries however. We asked for refills and once we got them she brought ketchup, asked if we needed anything else, and left us alone again. Our server along with seeming new, also had a tired/I don't like my job vibe the whole time. At the end of our meal, we got the check with 18% gratuity already set as the tip since we had a large group. The food was good, but I don't think we'll be back for our next big family trip up here. It seemed like they did best with smaller groups 2-4. Just make note if you're coming up here with a large party.

    Great hot dogs and fries! Friendly service. A real, authentic diner experience. Highly…read morerecommended.

    Today after his Endoscopy at Ruby Memorial we stopped in Clarksburg at Ritzy's Diner for hotdogs…read moreand fries! Its been in business for 90yrs. Its a cute little hole and the hot dogs are good!! Not great, But good! I do love the sauce but their weiners are lacking! I do love the wet bun buts not from steaming its from the brine water the weiners were in! You have a flat top! Why aren't they grilled to order?? Fries are great! Not a fan of the purple cabbage coleslaw slaw the color is a big turnoff!! I tasted too much vinegar!@ but I will give it a 3 out of 5 Loved the vintage decor and that you kept it original and old school! Very upset that 1 hot dog with chili mustard onions w slaw & kraut, 2 hot dogs w chili mustard onions and cheese, small fries, a fountain pop and one draft small 8oz glass cost me $29 w taxes! that's freaking sad!! Your special 2 dogs w Fries $8 w chili onion and mustard so by adding cheese to 2 that should have been $2 extra, one beer $3, one fountain soda $3 and one hotdog $2.50 then another $2 for the slaw plus Kraft totals $20.50 plus taxes so should have been about $23 not $29...I was over charged $6!!! Stolen money@@ you never gave me an itemed receipt...she holders how much Rick...you throw some numbers out and I paid for someone else's ticket too!! I'm not coming back! I don't recommend you to go there and get ripped off!!
