We ordered the thin crust Meatza Pizza (tomato sauce) and the hand tossed Artichoke and Spinach Pizza (Alfredo sauce). We wanted to see what the crust difference was and both were fantastic. No dessert tonight though.... Even though I was clearly tempted by their Salted Caramel Ice Cream. BUT! With all of the awesomeness featured above it was out shown by the amazing service. The young lady who waited on us had a great knowledge of the menu... she had a great dry wit.... And if I owned a restaurant I would want her on my team. Sadly I have forgotten her name... but she was wearing a black tee, marblized soccer shorts, bright eyes, gleaming smile.... For you, are amazing! We will be back.

Both the Bruchetta and the Spinach Feta Salad were fantastic, and our great waitress recommended a wonderful bottle of wine, even telling us about the grape. Our only regret was that we didn't try the pizza or pasta, having just returned from Chicago where that was about all we ate! Highly recommend this place when in Hannibal!

The atmosphere is really nice and cozy, which made it a great place for a birthday dinner. We ordered the Tour of Italy, Shrimp & Sausage Arrabbiata, Fried Calamari, and three cocktails: Hurricane, Blue Hawaiian, and Fruit Punch The calamari portion was HUGE -- honestly, it could easily be a full meal on its own. Everything was fresh, crispy, and delicious. I also have absolutely nothing negative to say about the Tour of Italy. Every single dish on the plate was fantastic! The Shrimp & Sausage Arrabbiata was the only thing my husband wasn't a huge fan of because it was a little too spicy for him. And the Blue Hawaiian was just perfect! Now we actually want to come back with friends and have it again. Service was just outstanding here! We also got a wonderful piece of cake as a birthday gift for my husband. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this place for a nice dinner!

Saturday was a beautiful day. I spent part of it paddleboarding on the lake, and by the time I was…read moredone I was seriously hungry. It also happened to be my birthday, so we decided to find an Italian place for dinner and ended up at Joe's Italian Restaurant & Pizza. We got there around 5 PM and I was honestly surprised how busy it already was. The place was packed. After dinner, I understood why. The girl who took care of our table was great from the beginning. She got us seated, took our drink order and was there whenever we needed her. I asked to see the cocktail menu a few different times because I couldn't decide what I wanted, and she never made it feel like I was bothering her. She also helped me with the drinks, which I appreciated. We started with the fried calamari. Very good and definitely something I'd order again. My wife got the Tour of Italy with lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. I ordered the Shrimp & Sausage Arrabiata. The portions were generous and we both really enjoyed our food. I also tried two cocktails, the Blue Hawaiian and the Hurricane, and we had a fruit punch. The cocktails were actually really good. I especially liked the Blue Hawaiian. Our total was around $85 for everything, which I thought was completely fair for what we ordered. I really don't have much to complain about here. The restaurant was busy but the service never felt slow or forgotten. The dining room looked nice, the atmosphere was comfortable, the food was good and the staff treated us well. Five stars from me. If I'm back in this town again, Joe's is a place I would happily come back to.

They had a constant flow of groups so it didn't seem that they were ending their night anytime soon. Really decent Italian food and nice specials. We had the Horseradish Encrusted Salmon, the Smoked Chicken Pot Pie and the Ravioli Aragosta. If I had to rank them, the Pot Pie was our favorite. The pastry did not overwhelm the meal and loved the large chunks for chicken and veggies. If you are the fence about horseradish, then steer clear. The horseradish overpowers the salmon but it was still a decent meal. The pasta tasted fresh so would like to try their more traditional meals next time. Service was great and you can flag any staff member down and they were eager to help. Plates were delivered all at once by multiple staff members.

The service was very good, as we were a table of 15 and they did an excellent job of getting our orders and then our food out to us. The one thing I did notice was that they continued to bring additional bread out to us, but weren't removing any empty plates. Makes for an extremely crowded table! VERY IMPORTANT: the side door in the back room was locked tight, so in case of fire, we'd have been SOL.
