    Every bit of our experience was perfection. We were a party of six and enjoyed Caesar salad, arugula salad, fettuccine Alfredo, penne a la vodka, meatballs, quatro formaggi pizze, tiramisu, vanilla gelato/strawberry (can’t remember the name… and espresso martinis… all amazing. Service was great. We will be back.

    Wonderful dinner celebrating our 10th Wedding anniversary at RPM Italian. The restaurant reached out to ask how many years and when we arrived there was a custom printed menu with Happy 10th Anniversary! The kids loved the pastas and the bubbly drinks so they could cheers with us. The mini ice cream cones with anniversary sign was a sweet touch to end the night. Thanks for making it a special experience for our family to celebrate a delicious dinner together.

    Easiest review to write ever. Food and service never disappoints, and the whole experience is consistently good. Joe’s is a great holiday treat, but it’s a perfect place any time of year. Excellent Crab Legs, then Steaks and Brussels and Lyonnaise potatoes. Dry Aged Ribeye was magical! Fabulous dinner as usual.

    An outstanding lunch in every way. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable , and efficient. The food was great. We had delicious hummus, 3 different varieties, a Greek salad and brussels sprout and apple salad were fresh and tasty, crispy potatoes with tzatziki sauce were unique and left us wanting more, and lamb and beef, and salmon kabobs were seasoned in a way that was different than the usual Mediterranean restaurant kabobs and we loved them. We finished with a honey pie and vanilla bean panna cotta deserts. It was a fabulous experience.
