We loved this place. The focaccia was the best thing we had. It's deceptively underwhelming to look at, but it's crispy on the outside, rich and soft in the center and goes well with the pasta sauce. Definitely order the pasta over the pizza. Arrancini was great too.

Yes, Yes, Yes is the answer to your question of should you go eat here. Yum! The interior was gorgeous and we had an amazing server who helped us determine what to order and was so gracious and helpful. Pretty sure every item on the menu is amazing. Everything we ate and drank was fabulous. Go and make your reservation now.

Do not dine here, if you have a problem management will not fix it. Spent over $200 here for food poisoning by getting their pizza. Called and told them and they did not offer any solutions. The poisoning was gruesome and lasted several days for every person in group that ate pizza. Will not come back as there is no accountability.

Went here for the first time with my wife and siblings who were in town visiting. We ordered pizza and other items. 3/4 of us had food poisoning as we all tried the pepperoni pizza. We were puking among other things. We called management and they thanked us for the call and said we were only ones that called and did NOTHING else about it. We will not be back as this was not handled well at all as we had also dropped $250 for food poisoning.

The vibe and decor at Josefina is 5 stars; such a stunning space. The food and drinks have been really good. Pastas are always delicious, pizzas are decent, Brussels spouts are good, so are the scallops and farro... love the cocktails. Portions are perfect. Service probably gets the lowest rating. The hostesses are always nice (and beautiful), rather oblivious at times, but I can get over that. Unfortunately, I can't seem to have a great experience with a server. They're fine. For the price tag, though, I feel they should be better than "fine". We've had multiple issues with drink orders being forgotten and the servers not checking in. We've sat with empty glasses and plates for longer than usual. General overall slowness and the feeling you're somehow a nuisance to them. But, at the end of the day, I will be back because... good vibe, good food, good location. There are multiple options for seating when booking a reservation, so if it's helpful... There are a few 4-top tables in the bar that are awesome, so when booking "bar seating", you won't be sitting at the actual bar. You will be right by the entrance and the walkway, though, so you feel like you're in the middle of everything - can be fun, can be horrible depending on your expectations. The actual dining room is the largest seating area, more formal and spacious than the bar (though they're right next to each other). The pizza bar is in the back of the restaurant and feels brighter and more casual. They are all adjacent to each other but all come with their own sub-vibes, so you may want to check out photos to see where you'd like to sit.

Absolutely divine experience at this beautiful place ✨ I love everything about the design inside, from the intricate trim around the door to the gorgeous light fixtures ✨ the mood is set - all the colors together are designed to relax my eyes and prepare my appetite.It was a beautiful day to enjoy out in the patio with very unique plant design on the wall. Everything on the menu is excellent - there is something for every taste can’t wait to enjoy another summer day here ✨Parking: Free parking garage nearby
Great dinner! We enjoyed a couple of sharable plates and pizza. Our servers were very attentive and friendly. Very nice cocktails.

I love Josefina! Are the so allergy friendly. My favorites are the Brussel sprouts, scallops, chicken, and any pizza. Their drinks are great too even enough they are $$$

Dined at Josefina for dinner and ordered pizza and pasta. While they were enjoyable, they did not 'hook' me to craving the dishes at that price point. Will update with photos soon.The gelato is what I keep coming back for! In the summertime, you can order through a cute window from the sidewalk!Staff are all friendly and the interior is beautiful!

We went here to celebrate a friends birthday. Our server delivered immaculate service and we simply went with her recommendations which didn't disappoint! We got the Cesar salad to start as well we 3 different types of pasta (cacio e pepe, rigatonio diavolo, and fusili negra) and a side of grilled chicken. The lobster dish was my favorite and the grilled chicken with the sauces was top tier as well. The lowlight setting of the place also made for a great overall ambiance, 10/10 would recommend!

First time at Josefina after it being very widely hyped up. The Brussel sprouts were to die for! I've never had sprouts like this before, sweet and sour like. We had the Cacio e Pepe and pizza. Loved the service and ambiance. Lesser version of Red Rabbit. Price was solid. Valet was nice to have although they took my $20 and didn't give any change.

Nice service food just so so Trendy spot a limited menu with nice choices none the less. Not sure is this is a sit down spot

Ate here for a business meal. The food was amazing! The servers were wonderful and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Would recommend the buratta, wood fired pizza, cacio de Pepe and the olive oil and salted caramel gelato.
