Pasta Restaurants in Fort Worth, TX

“Visited at 2pm on a Friday and had the philly cheesteak. It was your average everyday cheese steak which was a nice change since lots of places try to sneak in weird stuff like Gouda Cheese or allio mayonnaise. Service was friendly. It had the feel of an easy coast pizza joint and made for a relaxing lunch. Now if there was a jukebox, 5 stars.“

“So, I had a deep hankering for a sub sandwich. I pulled in the parking lot with the intentions of satisfying said hankering when I noticed this Italian joint sitting next door.

The more I eyeballed the Italian joint, the quicker the hankering for the sub shop "sub"sided. (Pun). After careful contemplation, I decided to enter the Italian joint and satisfy my curiosity.

Upon entrance, a fella in a white T shirt emerged from the deepest recesses of the kitchen. He looked a bit like the Fonz, what, with his thick, dark hair, slicked back and his apron pulled down. Then, as he began talking, I shifted from Happy Days to a Rocky/Joe Pesci esque theme. A true, full blooded Italian with a thick patch of "The Bronx" coarsing through his veins, "Big Joe" is straight of a Hollywood movie.

He looks the part. He talks the part. He is the part. And he's got arguably the best damn Italian in the Metroplex. This praise being heaped upon him from a level 7 reviewer ranked in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers on Google. In short, I know my stuff. And if it's info u crave, you'd be wise to listen as the resume speaks for itself. I don't heap praise. It comes hard earned. And "Big Joe" earned it.

If you're in the neighborhood or on the other side of Anchorage and need an Italian fix, don't stop til you get to Joe's. Best decision you've made since agreeing to dance at your daughters wedding.

You won't regret it. And if you're lucky enough to meet and speak with Joe, count your blessings. The dude is an institution. But don't ask to take pics. Bo, don't know Diddley and Joe don't do pics.

But if it's heaping portions of pasta and other Italian dishes that u heart desires, don't stop til ya see Big Joe.“
