Great. It's so comfortable here. Drinks are great as is the food and the martinis rock

Finally, a fitting tribute to the old Liana's. The food is absolutely spot on fresh and delicious! The Lemon Lava Cake is a MUST-TRY. I'm looking forward to making my way around the menu in the future. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service makes Joanne's Table a new neighborhood gem, in a familiar spot. Well done!

A lovely experience from beginning to end! The food was excellent especially the MEATBALLS!Joanne is a gracious, happy and sweet host with a lovely staff. The vibe is comfortable and welcoming! Cocktails were well made and yummy. We were lucky to be there for a night of live music (Ben Mikula) which heightened our evening even more. Can’t say enough about this adorable little Italian Resturant. Thanks Joanne’s Table for a truly wonderful night!

Amazing food and even more amazing service. I live about an hour away and will gladly make the trip any day for this gem of a restaurant. I dream about the cod! But you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. 100%
This review is in response to the one submitted by "Jimmy M" regarding Joanne's Table. FYI--Jimmy left out some "details," as we saw it. On that same night, my boyfriend and I were seated across from Jimmy and his party of four. In the "TWO HOURS [in which] THEY WERE NEVER SERVED ANY FOOD," his table enjoyed numerous drinks from the bar. For those two hours, we witnessed Jimmy and his table being LOUD and obnoxious, making us (and others) feel uncomfortable. Someone from that table spoke to the owner. She apologized and forgave the check due to the unfulfilled food order. Jimmy noted that the waitress was "rude and angry." What Jimmy didn't know was that she was upset after being mistreated and stiffed. He and friends stomped out without leaving a tip. That night, the restaurant happened to be short-staffed and were doing everything possible to satisfy customers' requests. All of the employees pitched in with any task required to run a restaurant. (Just watch "The Bear" on hulu, and you will understand what I mean). My boyfriend and I did wait some time for our food order, but both having worked in retail understood the pressure the staff was under on a busy Saturday night. We enjoyed our scallops, and chicken dishes, and were able to relax and enjoy our meals after Jimmy and his friends departed. We noticed that all other tables were having a fine and fun time. This is a family owned-and-run business, and they make you feel like family. We certainly will be back again in the near future, and hope that we never encounter any other "Jimmys" and haughty patrons....at ANY restaurant. PS. The lemon dessert cake was AMAZING!

If I could give this place no stars I would. We were regular patrons at Liana's so we were excited to try Joanne's Table. I'd love to tell you how the food was, but after showing up for our reservation on time, we waited TWO HOURS AND WERE NEVER SERVED ANY FOOD. When we asked about the hold up the server got angry and rude with us. We left without ever being served. I've never been treated so poorly before. It was insulting and embarrassing, especially because we took friends from out of town who were visiting there for a special dinner. All I could say to my friends afterwards was "I'm so sorry." Please, do yourself a favor and skip this place, or go on a REALLY slow night so you can be sure you'll actually get served your food. It was a disgrace.

Some of the most delicious Italian food you’ll find in Fairfield. Off the beaten path, but worth the visit. We had the chicken parm and the rigatoni with vodka sauce. Great staff, really charming spot.
We made reservations for 7 and we waited 30 minutes but no one came to us. We finally walked out and no one even noticed we were leaving. A family who came after us were served water. Horrible service, no review on food sense we did not eat. I give them a 0.

Well done Joanne! Excellent dining experience. Delicious Italian dishes. Simple menu covers everything, daily specials are great. Roasted Beet salad with goat cheese croquettes. Sea scallops in brown butter over linguini, and braised short ribs over garlic mashed potatoes with oyster mushrooms, see attached picture. Joanne makes all desserts herself, including the marvelous Lemon Lava cake (see pic), do not miss this!Staff is courteous and professional, includes Joanne's daughters.Atmosphere is cozy and subtle, like a home dining room. Seating for about 50, including bar seating.
