Original Joe's is old school Italian cooking. The way things used to be cooked before it was just smother everything with sauce and cheese.
This place is just a great hang with top notch food.

Show me the best times of my life I've been in that restaurant. I was 16 when I started going there with the people from church. I'm 65 now and it's still one of my favorite places.

Down in San Jose for the Maguire's all West Summer Custom Rod and Bike Show at the Berryessa Highlands Pavillion helping my pal Petroff Yakdonovitch set up his Customod 67 Impala SS 427 with a factory L72 option, the only one made! After setting up the car, we went out to celebrate at the Original Joe's, and it was an amazing dinner! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆
