Joey's A Taste of Italy

to the person below, joey's isn't at valley view mall, you're talking about some other place...so watch what you rate before you bad mouth a good establishment for everybody else, this is a great place for good italian food at reasonable prices...give it a try! more

the food pretty much sucked. they served the bread rolls on plastic trays that looked like they were from the dollar store and it when we ordered our drinks, it had barley any ice in it. we placed and got and appetizer of fried mushrooms but the cook came out and asked us what we were ordering and to tell us that they were out of mushrooms. my husband ordered the shrimp pasta and it was so nasty. i dont even know how to describe it. i ordered the eggplant parmagain and it was actually good. so i complained and he changed it out for the calzone but it was just as bad. it was full of cheese, tiny and not many "italian meatballs", and that was about it. the breading was good. (rolling my eyes). the only thing that was actually good in there was the tomato sauce, bread rolls, and the eggplant. i saw the cook come out and approch other customers about their order numerous of times, like he was having to go behind the waitress and do her job. but the best part about it is, is that they dont even give you a real receipt! instead they just calculate it up on give it to you. so you dont know what you are paying for unless you remember what meal cost what. Pros: location, anything made with the tomatoe sauce Cons: everything else more

I think the food here is amazing. I have eaten Italian food all over the world, even Italy... and there is something about the food here that melts in your mouth. I think it is really unique that there is actually a Joey.... and he is always there to greet you. And now they have live music on the weekends and are actually taking over the space next door. He is going to expand and have a "Supper Club" I think It's really important to support the local businesses in the 380 corridor, but I wouldn't write a positive review unless I really have had many great experiences and meals at Joey's! You Rock! Pros: FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD Cons: Glaze the walls! more
