About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Charming
Neighborhood gem

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.

This was my first time at Joseph’s and it is a neighborhood gem. I had a Caesar salad, chicken parmigiana with penne. They were delicious. Perfect portion. Nantia was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend!

Joseph’s was a first class experience. Service was impeccable. We brought an old Brunello from our cellar and the waiter painstakingly opened and decanted it. Service was just the right pace. The ambience was soothing. Every bite was delicious. The appetizers were exceptionally good and presentation lovely. While it is a bit higher priced menu, not out of line for NYC prices.

Great food and a wonderful wine list. Great downtown location. Don’t let the basement level fool you. Enjoyable atmosphere and ambience in an old world kind of way.

My husband and I needed to eat somewhere downtown where our hotel was, and found Joseph's online and decided to make a reservation. It was a quiet & intimate on Saturday night, and the service was excellent along with the food! He LOVED his fettucine cacio e pepe, and my pasta and meatballs was fantastic as well. Great portion sizes (nothing too huge where it's impossible to finish) and we loved the tartufo for dessert!
