Joseph's Italian Bistro

We enjoyed a great family dinner in the private dining room. Great food and wonderful service. A night out was a great change of pace for our large family and Joseph’s was a good selection

Always great service! Loved the lasagna! I would suggest making reservations during the busy months. One of our favorite places to eat. We also enjoy eating outside.

Authentic Italian dishes, fresh pastas, and a friendly vibe—Joseph’s Bistro is a delightful discovery on the island. Ideal for our riders craving a flavorful post-ride meal. I run guided e‑bike tours (Cycle‑logical Tours) and would love to chat about featuring you as a culinary highlight!

Absolutely worst reservation system in the world. You don’t get a real-time confirmation. All you are doing is putting in a request and you have to wait for someone at the restaurant to “confirm”. Which may or may not even occur. Call them? No answer or voicemail. Too cheap apparently to use a modern reservation system like Open Table. Not worth it! Easier and better Italian restaurants in the Southport area!

Looked good. Told us we had to have a reservation. Maybe next time.

We are only in the area about twice a year, but we dine at Joseph’s every time! As usual, our food this visit was excellent and our server, Sara, was friendly, helpful, and efficient. Such a pleasure to dine in this special restaurant. I must add, my cosmo was better than excellent. A real treat! Thank you and we look forward to our next visit.

This place did not disappoint. Food was absolutely amazing. Our waitress Katie was great. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful dinner with 6 couples. We sat in a private room in the back, looking out at the water.
The staff was attentive and the food was delicious.

Wonderful food

I had the pleasure of having dinner this past Friday evening at Joseph’s for the first time. The meal was absolutely delicious but what made the dining experience exceptional was the server Melanie. She actually knew what we needed or wanted before we did! My date and I both commented at the same time that “she was the best waitress we ever had”! We will definitely be back!

My husband and I ate at Joseph’s for the first time this evening. Absolutely great food and service. We will definitely be back.

Marquis was an excellent server, clearly articulating special menu items, and delivered our food with such great grace. The food was wonderful both in flavor and volume. We had a great time.
