Joe's Italian Ristorante Ponchatoula

Had my dad's 90th birthday party with 35 guests. Food was good; service was great, and everything went off without any issues.

I had a lunch portion of eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant was actually very good, but it was smothered with so much cheese and sauce that I couldn’t taste as much as I’d like to, but I am going to try this place again because to me the meatballs should tell me how good the restaurant is in total so I’ll be back! Also, I’d recommend you add a little bit to your house salad all it was was lettuce and one slice of tomato you could even use Italian chopped olive salad on top of it and that would make it fantastic!

You can tell this is not food from a chain restaurant. This is food made with love. Their lunch specials are cheaper than fast food and 100% better!!

Wasn't busy, was clean, staff friendly, food excellent and the price was reasonable. Will return.

Great food and service! I took myself here on a solo date in the middle of the day early in the week, so it was pretty quiet which I very much enjoyed.

I had the Linguine Del Mar, which comes with a small salad. And it was so yummy! It also looked amazing. I also asked for my water to be put in a wine glass and my waitress was happy to do it. Bread was brought to my table right before my food came out, which I appreciated. The portions are pretty big, so I took the rest of the meal home with me.

I ordered a cannoli to go, and didn’t expect it to have chocolate drizzled on it but it was a good combination. I’ll definitely be returning to Joe’s!

Ordered Calamari asked for extra sauce and was going to be charged for it. Table of 4 with one small sauce. We just moved here 6 months ago. Food was just ok. Other restaurants in area are much nicer to their customers.

People are sleeping on this hidden gem!!!! Folks flock to whats convient because they are in a rush. From the time we sat, ordered and paid less than 45 minutes and the place was more than half full. I had the chicken parmesean and my daughter had good ol spaghetti and meatballs. Rolls are made fresh and food was great! Hunter, our waitress, did a fantastic job!

Its on our HIGHLY RECCOMEND list!

Party of 15, (reserved party room) early Sunday morning. Servers (seems both were in training) had a lot of confusion on final order. 2 guest did not receive food at the time the other 13 guest did. We were through eating before 2 guests received their food. Had to check with servers at least 4 times as to status of final 2 entres. Had to bus our own tables to have dessert. Had to request several times for extra plates and napkins. Food was very good, good location and available parking. Service needs work.
