Not too big, not too small and great food. I only ordered a few starter plates...but still good. The service was wonderful and the owner is always there and socializes which is really nice to see.

I am not a big Italian food fan, but this is a solid chain Italian restaurant. Great for lunch or dinner. Love the bread sticks and unlimited salad but the soap is my favorite

Fantastic service! Everything made from scratch! Nice private room for parties of 10 to 14. Great variety of unique pizzas. Everyday they offer a different pizza of the day- who I was a there is was "Cuban Sandwich Pizza" with all the fixings fro the pros to the mustard. It was fantastic. The arrugala pizza was great - as it featured dates and honey with brie cheese.You have to go the this place to experience it!!!!!

Noel is a Master Chef who KNOWS how to cook. Come to this gem of a restaurant for incredible food ... everything is made fresh ... from the bread to the Tiramisu. I absolutely love their salmon ... you can drink the garlic sauce they pour over it! The Italian dishes taste like you are eating at a restaurant in Venice. The service is wonderful, too. My husband and I have eaten here probably thirty times and we have enjoyed every single meal. You will love this restaurant!

I frequently eat at this restaurant since it is one of my favorites. We usually eat tapas style to try various dishes. They serve small plates which is perfect for sharing. The zucchini blossoms and octopus are tasty. Choices in pizza are great. Add a sIde of Brussels sprouts.

Joeâs Place, conveniently located in the Lake Forest Gateway on the south side of the intersection of I-5 and Lake Forest Drive (less than two miles south of the I-405 and I-5 interchange), is the most recent extension to an old neighborhood favorite, Peppinoâs Italian Family Restaurant. If it is your first time visiting this cluster of restaurants, bars and sandwich shops you will have difficulty finding the entrance that is on Rockfield Blvd. Joeâs Place (the bar) is a modern interpretation of the old neighborhood bar where everyone came to eat, drink, meet friends and watch a sporting event. The limited bar menu offers âhappy hourâ drink specials and delicious Italian specialties, and the good news is that the âhappy hourâ is all day, every day. It would take five paragraphs to adequately describe Joeâs Place. If you live in the surrounding cities, go there to enjoy a relaxing, friendly environment with all the current sporting events broadcasted on giant plasma screens. I gave it a 4.5-star rating.Insiderâs tip: If the parking area in front is full, drive behind the restaurant where there is always ample parking.

The service was spot on, helpful but not too in your face. The minestrone soup arrived swiftly and was delicious. Cannelloni was just perfect. Served pipping hot with the pasta just right with super sauce and the cheese topping melted just right. I really did not need dessert but the cheesecake finished things off nicely! Highly recommended!!!

Huge portions, good price. Family atmosphere and live music on a Saturday night. I enjoyed my meal. Service was fast and attentive. I had the white clam sauce with angel hair and bruschetta. For a single person it was way too much food, however i can see it good forfamilies and ordering to share.
