Joe's Original Italian Martini

I choose this place for my special 30th birthday party. They accommodated us wonderfully and gave us a secluded area where we could celebrate without disturbing the rest of the customers. Kate was our waitress and she recommended the BEST drinks. She took care of our entire party wonderfully, I can’t recommend her enough! The owner came by and wished me a happy birthday and made sure everything was top notch. I can’t recommend Joe’s enough. If you want top notch quality, service, and experience please take your party/ date night to Joe’s and experience most wonderful service there is Peoria Heights. Joe’s is a 10/10 experience and I will remember how everyone made sure my birthday was made a memorial event. I will be back next year to celebrate!! A special thank you to everyone at Joe’s

A classy Italian restaurant with a bar to accommodate both casual and upscale meals. It's more expensive than most restaurants in the area.The food was okay. I went with a group and most of us ordered the special that day 5 layer lasagna, with a broccoli beer cheese soup. The soup was good, but low on broccoli. The lasagna was a very large portion, but unexpectedly dry. The starter bread and butter were very good.The service was good. Our waitress was kind and patient. But, she didn't know the prices of the specials of the day when we asked.Overall, it's a nice restaurant, but not worth the price. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available. Parking: Only street parking avaliable down Peoria Heights.

I shared this experience through the contact form on the website, but never heard back so here goes! My boyfriend and I came for our anniversary, on Tuesday the 30th. While our food was delicious and the service was prompt, we overheard your bartender/our waiter (with a beard, bun and mustache) having an EXTREMELY unprofessional conversation with a gentlemen at the bar during which they BOTH used the words “retarded” and “fag” while reminiscing about a better time when they could use them more openly. It put a HUGE damper on the evening and ruined my appetite. We promptly got our check and got out of there ASAP. I can understand not being able to control the customer and what he said, but to repeat the words and sentiment on the clock instead of simply placating him was just grossly unprofessional. We were the only ones there at the time, so it’s not as if they could’ve assumed we didn’t hear. In fact, I made it very clear we did. As I said, I tried contacting someone directly but had no luck and it was SUCH a disappointing, divisive experience, I can’t just let it go. I hope that for the future, you’re able to tell your employees what is and isn’t appropriate work conversation.

Wonderful food, great drinks and a cheerfully attentive bartender!

This is an outstanding place to go eat. They have the best pasta don’t ever think that it’s bar food, it is excellent. You should go there! The service was excellent. Staff was very friendly and made plenty suggestions about items on the menu.
