Reviews for Joanne Trattoria in New York, NY
Came here for a post graduation lunch with family. I wouldn’t have minded the high prices if the quality of food and service... were worth it but the food was less than mediocre and the service worse than diner service. I ordered a Cesar salad withgrilled shrimp. The lettuce was the dregs of the romaine, didn’t include anchovies or Parmesan and the shrimp tasted likestore bought frozen shrimp. For $28 dollars I would expect much higher quality ingredients and preparation for a salad. Dressingtasted like institutional dressing. The calamari app and the rice balls were also sub-par for the price. And the bread wassliced bread and very dry— bordering on stale. Finally, the bill included the tip as we were a party of 6, which is totallyfine but we did not realize that and added another 20% on top of that. That was OUR fault, but a quality restaurant SHOULDpoint that out to its patrons especially when it significantly jacks up the bill. I rarely write reviews and almost never writebad ones but this restaurant left a really bad taste in my mouth. Read more
Very chic ambiance and the food is absolutely delicious. Not the cheapest but also not the most expensive Manhattan eat either.... The truffle gnocchi was divine. Read more
Amazing from the moment we walked in to when we left. Staff was courteous, attentive and overall made our visit very... comfortable. Food portions were massive, and I think we got our money’s worth. I got the Chicken parm, garm parm fries, andcheesecake! Everyone at our table loved their own orders, and we even purchased some merch on the way out. Also, a must visitlocation for any fans of Lady Gaga! Will be returning all the way from Toronto, Canada! Thank you Joanne! Read more
Disappointing experience. It felt understaffed (one server for the whole place - not the staff's fault obviously) which caused... long waits for ordering, getting drinks, etc. The tablet menus were flashier than they were useful. The touchscreens made itdifficult to navigate the menu, and it was clear they did not have enough for their evening seating. The food was mediocre atbest (bruschetta was good, meatballs were extremely dry and ate like a rock, fish had no seasoning on it). What really stood outis they ran out of the dish that my partner ordered so they just brought him an entirely different dish without asking him. Wewere able to get an alternate, but when we got the bill, the server had noted "Customer changed his mind" on the order. Nah,bro. You literally just brought us a totally different thing that we did not order. And it was covered in ingredients we couldnot eat and would have declined if you had just asked. I would not recommend a visit here. Read more
The place looks really good and our table was ready when we arrived. There's a little bar in the front where you can order some... drinks while you wait for your table. Cocktails can be really expensive so I recommend Waiting and ordering some wine while youeat. Went with 3 friends for a birthday celebration, but we were disappointed to find the food was mediocre and the service wasnot so good for the price. In our case, the waiter accidentally accidentally dropped 1 of our wine glasses and it spilled allover our clothes and shoes, but he didn't even say sorry or offer some towels to clean our clothes. He just went on to clean thefloor and bring another glass of wine and charge it of course. We were convinced by the Lady Gaga popularity and visited therestaurant, but wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends. Sorry. Read more
Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious!! We started with some wine, which was a healthy portion. We... ordered the fried calamari and it was wonderful. Their marinara is the bomb. I had the chicken parm. One of the best I’ve everhad. My friend ordered their special of the night, which was seafood ravioli. Wait staff is great, loved the atmosphere. 10/10 Read more
Very great atmosphere. If you’re looking for romantic, date-y vibe, this is your spot! Wait staff are excellent. Chef and... staff are responsive and accept feedback quickly. Over the restaurant wants you to be happy and have a great time! Food wasgood. It’s NY so you’re paying NY prices (not a problem at all) and they are willing to adjust menu to make sure you getwhat you want (I wanted meatballs and sausage and they delivered, very happy!) The only reason this is a 4 not a 5 is I thinkthe food was good not awesome. BUT, I will be back! It was tasty enough for me to want to visit again :) Read more
I had a small wonderful event here, delicious food and wine. Had the honor to meet the owner of the restaurant which is father... of Lady Gaga. It’s a cute small restaurant with friendly staff, with solid service and food. Read more
