Italian
Joseph's refined style and atmosphere make it a popular spot for business lunches, as well as Downtown classic. But don't let the fancy setting fool you—behind all the elegance is an excellent and authentic Italian kitchen that churns out rustic dishes reminiscent of the old country.

Joseph's staff takes the Italian reverence for abbondanza (abundance) to heart, and won't let you walk away from your meal hungry. Pasta, chops, chicken, salad—everything on this menu bears the true taste of Italy.

The main courses at Joseph's are often accompanied by vegetables and potatoes, and there are family-style platter options available if you are ordering with a group. If "Italian food" in the Financial District conjures up thoughts of chicken parmigiana subs from a pizza place, it's time for a step into the elegance and flavor of Joseph's.

    Was let down by the overall experience. The bartenders were extremely slow and the bar wasn’t busy. The beers weren’t very cold either. When we went to our seats, we were the only ones in the room which was nice but the music wasn’t working so it was eerily quiet even for a group of 9 people. In fact it was turning on and off randomly and was quite annoying. The waitstaff was very attentive and the food was actually very good. Everyone finished what was on their plate which is a good sign.

    Thank you so much for your feedback and I am sorry that we were going into a internet problem that day . Please be back anytime for a colder beer and better experience . Thank you GM

    Very solid good and very good service. It is a bit of an odd atmosphere, as the bar feels clubby but the dining room feels like a classic Italian-American resturant, but the food is very good and I do recommend for a solid dinner.

    Service was attentive as long as you don’t ask the bus boy a question that should be asked to the waiter. Food was meh. Pasta was well cooked and the sauce was very good but the meatballs were inedible. That was the general consensus of the table. Service team offered to bring out another dish but we declined. Complimentary dessert helped soften the tough meatballs.

    Absolutely perfect ambiance for a date night, although the food isn't that great, especially for the price. You're definitely paying for the ambiance above anything else, but that just might be good enough to recommend.

    The food was heavy and not that tasty. $10 for a bottle of water and was not asked if we wanted another when a new opened one started being served. It was busy but not sure why when there are many other choices. I am so sorry to leave such a review.

    I made reservations at Joseph's for a business meeting for four (4) guests. They were well taken care of and the food was great as usual. Most importantly, the staff at Joseph's responded to all my messages and requests in a timely manner. I will certainly consider making reservations at Joseph's for any other important business meals I plan.

    Our lunch at Joseph’s was not only excellent, but memorable. The food was delicious and coupled with the exemplary service of each member of the front of house team made for a most enjoyable meal. Our server was one of those rarities in today‘s hospitality industry - a complete professional. His professionalism, coupled with an approachable and personable nature, made this particular meal, one that will stand out for so many positive reasons.

    The food and service was great, noise level was moderate. The wide menu (seen online before reservation) was a major attraction. President Biden's visit to NYC messed up our travel plans to the restaurant, I'm glad we persisted and found other ways to get to Joseph's!

    What a great way to spend an afternoon with lunch at Joseph's. It was a nice find our first visit but not our last. From the outside it looks like a small store front but enter into the doors and make your way downstairs into a fine dinning room filled with beautiful tables, welcoming staff, and amazing food. We selected from the pre-fix menu all wonderful choices and do not skip dessert. The bartender was on point with our drinks and the waitstaff was attentive and not intrusive. A great place to have a business lunch or to be with friends for a meal. We didn't feel rushed.
