Joe's Original Italian Martini

The food was absolutely delicious! My husband took me out for my birthday dinner, and it was our first time dining here. We enjoyed everything we ordered. I do wish we had chosen to sit outside, as the evening weather was lovely, but we still had a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, the service was excellent, and the food was fantastic!

We both ordered pasta with seafood, and it arrived hot and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, and we needed take-home bags. Our salads were delightful, enhanced by the house dressing. The service was excellent, and we never felt rushed. The waitstaff checked on us regularly and refilled our drinks and bread rolls without us having to ask. Despite it being a busy Saturday night, I would highly recommend making a reservation. We can’t wait for our next visit!

For appetizers, we chose both calamari and Parmesan black garlic truffle fries with spicy aioli. For our main courses, my fiancée had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, while I opted for the Pasta DuCale, which featured shrimp, scallops, crab, mussels, and calamari in a lemon tomato broth served with thin spaghetti. Both dishes were excellently cooked and perfectly seasoned, with each ingredient standing out beautifully. We could taste each element distinctly, yet together they created a harmonious experience. It was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. For dessert, we shared a beautifully crafted tiramisu. It was so good! The portion was generous, and it took us a while to finish it, but we enjoyed every bite. Peoria, Illinois has many fantastic dining options, and Joe's is definitely one of them. The evenings can get quite busy at Joe's, so I would recommend making a reservation. You’re going to love Joe’s!

Great time with employees. Whiskey selection is solid. Appetizers and food were fantastic, and the deserts are heavenly. Kate took care of us. Absolutely come back.

We enjoy coming here for a weeknight dinner as well as a date night on a weekend. Love their martinis especially the dirty or French 75. They were very accommodating to my daughters 10 friends for homecoming, even for their own private room and everyone was very happy with their meals. For 2 with a soda was $45!! Doesn’t happen everywhere you go these days. Entrees come with salad or soup and bread. Highly recommend.
