Our first time here. And the experience and vibes were over the top. Our waitress Amanda was awesome. She made sure our 1st time there was an awesome experience. She answered our questions and had such an outgoing personality with a pretty smile. She was so nice. Kudos The food was excellent. The portions were so big. We ended up taking home half of our meals. My husband tried gnocchi and side of meatballs.which he loved. And him being an Italian meant a lot. If you go get the order of meatballs too. I had the garlic salmon. I love salmon. It was cooked perfectly. Nice and fresh. We each had a glass of sangria. Again, it was well represented and a very good choice. I tried their tiramisu. Omg. It was delicious. I inhaled it, lol, another one of my favs. We weren't rushed. Which was great. We got to experience the vibe and enjoyed our time there. We will definitely be back.

Celebrated Moms Birthday and our waitress Amanda was the best. The food was good and filling. The desserts were tasty. We enjoyed it, and it's reasonably priced. The Meatballs with cheese and Thick slice bacon were delicious appetizers. Slightly burnt is better with the bacon. The sauce on the Brussels sprouts was also delicious. You will not leave hungry.

Stylish, Energetic, and Delicious This Italian restaurant effortlessly blends modern style with classic flavors. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a vibrant, energetic atmosphere—think moody lighting, curated playlists, and a chic crowd that somehow still feels laid-back. The food? Just as impressive. Each dish is beautifully presented, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that show off the kitchen’s confidence. Whether it’s a handmade pasta, or inventive small plates, everything I’ve tried has been consistently good. It’s the kind of place where you could go for a casual dinner with friends or a date night and feel totally at ease. The service is on-point too—friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to recommend a pairing. Trendy without being pretentious, this spot strikes the perfect balance of cool and cozy. Definitely one of my favorites in the city.

My favorite place. Every meal I’ve had here has been incredible! It’s a lovely place with the best homemade pasta. This is the perfect place for a nice night out. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

Today I went to JoeBella’s for the first time, We sat at the bar and Amanda was our bartender, I Asked her to create me a drink that wasn’t too sweet or sour using tequila and she delivered . She was so helpful and created a drink that I really enjoyed. She recommended two appetizers on the happy hour remember mozzarella sticks, and artichokes franchise and they were fantastic fresh delicious food. It was an absolutely wonderful date day experience, and I appreciate her service. I highly recommend you going there.

Walking into JoeBella’s feels like stepping into an Italian dreamscape — warm, glowing lights, rustic wood, and a vibe that says, “Yeah, go ahead, order another glass of wine.” It’s the kind of spot where you instinctively loosen your shoulders and start eyeing the specials board before you even sit down. Whether you're tucked into a booth or catching the action from the open kitchen view, the whole place hums with that perfect mix of cozy and classy. But let’s not dance around it — the meatballs are the real main character. These aren’t just good; they taste like Sunday dinners from an old-school Nonna who doesn’t measure a thing and somehow nails it every time. Rich, tender, and swimming in a marinara that clings like a hug, they come with a scoop of dreamy ricotta that melts right into every bite. It’s comfort food with heritage, the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-chew just to nod at whoever’s lucky enough to be sitting across from you. The homemade pasta deserves its own spotlight too — delicate, fresh, and clearly crafted with intention. Paired with sauces that actually taste like someone’s been stirring them all afternoon, there’s nothing rushed or overdone here. The flavors feel honest, balanced, and rooted in tradition. You can taste the difference in every forkful — like the recipe came from an Italian family kitchen. We had the honor of being served my the manager Lee Ann. She was funny and delightful and made the experience that more special. She even laughed at my silly "rotating wine joke." Not everything was perfect — the Caesar salad could’ve used a little more love (and more dressing). But honestly, once those meatballs and pasta made their entrance, the table went quiet in the best possible way. JoeBella’s knows what it’s doing, and it does it with Italian heart. Buonissimo!
