Used to eat at Joe's in the old days when I worked in Utica. Recently visited Utica and purposely went on Tues. so I could have Braciole at Joe's. Arrived at 4:30pm and was told the kitchen was closed at 4. I should have checked their hours before going. They are only open Tues & Sat. 12 noon to 4pm. Who eats dinner before 4pm? Disappointing to say the least!

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. The place reeks of cheapness, complete with grungy looking floors and a chalkboard menu like a food truck. The staff is extraordinarily rude. They make me embarrassed to be Italian-American. Save your time, money, and nerves by avoiding this "restaurant".

Update: They're out of business and I'm so happy! Have fun filing bankruptcy! HAHAHAHAHA LMAO!

The classic. Will always cherish the memories of coming here with my dad. Glad the new owners are keeping the tradition alive. Wish it was open more than twice a week but delighted that it's still going at all. Can't believe how much food you get and how cheap it still remains. If you're from Utica and have never been you're missing out on a quintessential part of Utican food culture and history. Everything served family style. Simple dishes, everything fresh and delicious. Just like if you were to go into your Italian grandma's kitchen on Sunday. Long hots, meatballs, mushroom stew. It's all good. Make sure you order enough for leftovers.And of course... don't ask for butter. (My dad used to sneak butrer packets in!)
