    We had lunch at Joanne on a Sunday afternoon. It was quiet and the weather was perfect for sitting on the outside porch. Our server was excellent and the food was delicious. The cocktails were perfect! I highly recommend.

    Food arrived at table lukewarm, not hot, was not tasty, very average italian standard fare and everything was much more. expensive that it should be. A caesar salad for $22.95. Extremely disappointing. Plus there was a drag show going on which we weren't aware of when we booked.

    First time here. Service was lovely but unfortunately there was a large event that spilled over into the dining room from the back private room. We asked to move since we were practically in the middle of a cocktail party! They accommodated us so fine. Drinks were very good as was the pinot noir. My husband ordered the stuffed zucchini flowers which initially came out frozen in the middle. Second attempt were, we believe, microwaved and soggy. We both had chicken milanese for entrees and that was pretty good. However, probably will not be back. Too many other places to try in the area.

    Wow I’m so impressed I always wanted to go to the family owned Italian restaurant of one of my idols LAdy Gaga after seeing concert after the Joanne tour in 2017 we always wanted to experience the restaurant named after Her Aunt. I couldn't ask for a better place to take my Very Italian mother and Aunt for mothers day! We are super critical when it comes to Italian cuisine and were blown away by how delicious everything was it warmed my heart! The table next to us was a group of beautiful Italians speaking Sicilian i said see mom That's how you know this place is good lol. Plus the ambience and decor was just so special. I can't wait to return, we absolutely loved it there.

    We went for a Mother’s Day dinner because it was Lady Gaga’s parent’s restaurant and you never can go wrong with Italian food! Everything was delicious. And we had more fun because it was drag Bingo night. Lala was a great bingo caller and a good time! Definitely will be going back again soon!!

    Perfect patio dining experience. Great entertainment and delicious food. Specifically we had a few mocktails and my friend had the grilled salmon and I enjoyed the special chicken and artichokes, yum! The ambiance is pure fun.

    Stopped in restaurant early Thursday at noon to ask about reserving their small private room for upcoming Saturday dinner for my monthly discussion group of 9, since we need a space where we can hear each other talk. The manager told me that if I went on my phone and reserved a spot on Open Table for the date & time we needed, I could reserve the private room table by paying $18 per person (total $162, which would be deducted from our total bill after the dinner) to secure that space. I did that as he watched me complete the online reservation; he then verified my secured reservation on his tablet seating chart for the private dining room table @ 6:45 Saturday, which he showed me, and told me he wouldn’t be there but Michael & 2 other people would know we had the room reserved. We arrived a few minutes early on Saturday; the hostess said we did not have the private room table and showed us to a table in the open dining room where it was very noisy from both the surrounding diners and live music. I explained we paid a deposit to reserve the room and that the Thursday manager assured me there would be no problem. She said they were not told about that, another group of 12 was booked in that room. I explained that I never would have booked our group there—and certainly would not have paid $162 deposit for the private room—had I known we might end up in the noisy dining room. It was too late to go somewhere else. Michael, a courteous and professional employee/server/manager, came to our table and said he heard apologized, explaining that a large dinner party came in and another party of 12 had to be moved, so they displaced my group in the dining room. I suggested that since we paid a deposit to secure the private room and I’d made it clear as to why, someone should have at least called to alert me in advance. He agreed. It would have been nice if they at least comp’d us for the inconvenience but that did not happen. Not very good coordination and communication.
