    Incredible experience. We were treat so well by the staff there. As a Gaga super fan it was so exciting to see her all over the restaurant. You could feel the love in the restaurant and it was very much a safe space for all. Also the food was incredible! Thanks for everything! ❤️

    We had reservations for 4 on a Monday night and we had a lovely experience. The atmosphere is super cozy. The owner and staff were incredible charming and kind. Being University of Michigan grads visiting from the state of Michigan, we were amused to see a lot of Michigan State University decor at the front entrance (turns out the owner went to college there). The food was outstanding - our group collectively ordered lasagnas, spaghetti and meatballs, and a chicken pasta. Drinks were well-made. 10/10!

    I believe in reviews and never really have to write them, but last night was incredibly disappointing from the making of the reservation to the welcome, the service, the food and the atmosphere, it was all bad. The hostess and the server seem like they did not want to be there and not once did they act friendly. There were servers smoking vapes right near the kitchen and everything was out of order and not cleanly. The food tasted horrible. I had to make a reservation paying a deposit which was advertise for entertainment, but there was no entertainment. There was not even music playing in the restaurant when I asked about the deposit our unhappy server, asked with an attitude if we wanted glasses of wine. I sincerely hope that writing a truthful review is helpful.

    We were lucky enough to visit Joanne Trattoria on Valentines Day. They had a great prix fixe menu with gluten free options for my wife. The food was great, the entertainment was wonderful - we had a blast!

    We had a great meal at Joanne's yesterday. Our food portions were generous and tasty. Highlights of the meal were the Alfredo sauce that was delicious. And don't skip the cannolis they were to die for. Overall a very enjoyable meal in a very cozy restaurant.
