Chicken Liver Sautéed with Mushrooms review by Tom
Excellently prepared, good amount for us both.
Italian Antipasto review by Suzanne
A wonderful assortment of cured meats and cheeses accompanied with Italian olives. The cheese compliments the meats and the serving size is great.
Steak and Sausage Rigatoni review by Shawn
The dish was great! Plenty of meat. More steak than sausage was a pleasant surprise and the rigatoni and sauce was delicious.
Eggplant Parmigiana review by Brananbird
This is a classic dish that Original Joe's has mastered. I get it religiously and am never disappointed. The portions are generous and the leftovers divine!
Veal Parmigiana review by William
My favorite dish here. I have been ordering it since the sixties.
Calf’s Liver with Onions review by Kristine
Original Joe's is one of my favorite restaurants, ever! The booths, the atmosphere, the FOOD...it's like the nostalgia of my childhood in the NYC of the 1970s and 1980s meets the fresh, delicious cuisine of 21st century California and I am hooked. I'm always looking for excuses to skip cooking and head over to Original Joe's because it feels so much like home.
Spaghetti /w Meat & Mushroom Sauce review by Angela
We visited on a Wednesday evening before going to a show. The restaurant is so popular and busier than usual. I decided to order the spaghetti because I could eat that faster. I'm glad I did. It was delicious! Amazingly, it didn't give me heartburn. And we made it to the show in time for curtain! 😋
Sweetbreads Saute with Mushrooms review by Dan
So so good! Both my wife and I love it. We also both love the liver and onions. OJ's never has failed us.
Spaghetti /w Meat & Mushroom Sauce review by Terri L
My husband and I had the spaghetti with meat and mushrooms. He added the Italian sausage which he said was a 10 out of 10. The spaghetti was wonderful with plenty of meat and mushrooms. The portions are so big, I had leftovers for the next day. We also ordered the garlic bread. It was served piping hot with fresh minced garlic which we loved. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday!
Spaghetti Pomodoro review by Courtney
The pomodoro is my favorite dish. It is made fresh - I've watched it made from the counter! - and always delicious! Its truly a pomodoro with basil and cherry tomatoes, and I substitute penne noodles every time. My order has never been wrong.
