Joseph's refined style and atmosphere make it a popular spot for business lunches, as well as Downtown classic. But don't let the fancy setting fool you—behind all the elegance is an excellent and authentic Italian kitchen that churns out rustic dishes reminiscent of the old country.

Joseph's staff takes the Italian reverence for abbondanza (abundance) to heart, and won't let you walk away from your meal hungry. Pasta, chops, chicken, salad—everything on this menu bears the true taste of Italy.

The main courses at Joseph's are often accompanied by vegetables and potatoes, and there are family-style platter options available if you are ordering with a group. If "Italian food" in the Financial District conjures up thoughts of chicken parmigiana subs from a pizza place, it's time for a step into the elegance and flavor of Joseph's.

Had a Christmas dinner celebration with my team and Joseph's continues to deliver top quality food with excellent service. Had multiple appetizers and all were very good. Everyone enjoyed various dinners if salads, raviolis, veal, chicken. On the drink side it was old fashions, martini and margaritas. Only the old fashions were slightly lacking and each one was made differently. Martinis were great

The food was absolutely excellent. Stellar. The service was also very good - prompt and attentive, although I would have preferred not to have had the wait staff comment twice on how little I was eating – I am a petite person and never eat a lot. It is fine to inquire about whether the meal is to my satisfaction, but not to twice express that I am not eating very much. I was disappointed that I could only order the (anonymous) house wines by the glass. It is unusual for a restaurant of this caliber not to offer some named varietals by the glass. I was dining alone because I was on a business trip. The next table was a large group of extremely loud patrons bragging about their business deals. Not the restaurant's fault. But given that the restaurant was nearly empty, It would've been nice to be a table or two away from them.
