Great food from a diverse menu. Welcoming atmosphere, but a little loud for dinner conversation. Our drink order didn't appear until we had been served our appetizers (and I asked again).

Good afternoon Jim, Thank you for choosing to dine at Joseph's Downtown. Our staff is thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your dinner on Saturday night. We apologize for the noise level. Please next time you come in ask to sit in our Catania dining room. The Catania dining room tends to be quieter. I also apologize for your drinks taking a while. There is no excuse for this service lapse. We would like to make this up to you. Please give the restaurant a call. Again thank you for choosing to to dine at Joseph's Downtown.

A fantastic first time and definitely not last to this Gem in Haverhill. We had a Garlic allergy in the group and Joseph's accommodated perfectly. All 5 of us enjoyed perfection in the 3 Meatball style Appetizer, the tremendous and belly warming Burrata. The wonderful bread ! Madison our server was perfect. We all tried something different. Ravioli, Lemon chicken, Alfredo, Bolognese And the Filet with Gorgozola special. Superb and some.took the leftovers home to enjoy again. Madison brought out some amazing Macaroons for the birthday boy. A little Espresso made the evening complete. Well done Joseph's.
Josephs Trattoria Bakery & CafeResponded on 27 January 2025
Hello Doug, Thank you for choosing to dine at Joseph's Downtown on Friday night. We are elated to hear that your birthday celebration was just as special as we hoped it would be. Our team will be sure to share your kind words with our kitchen staff and Madison.
