The best of Old time authentic Sicilian food. They even can ship their delicacies to wherever! I used to live in NY and went to Joe's many times a year. Since moving to Florida, they now ship my Sicilian food to me. Vastedda never tasted so good! Humm, now if I could only figure out how they could send me their freshly made delicious tripe and peas I'd be happy as a fig on a fig tree!
Pros: Authentic Sicilian Food like our Grandmothers Used to Make daily
Cons: They have not franchised to other states like Florida!

The BEST comfort Sicilian food in the whole City of New York! If you love good food, warm and friendly service, not too fancy, and definitely not too pricey! This is the place to go for authentic Sicilian cooking. Tripe, Panelle, Pulpo, Vastedde, riceballs , potato croquets. Too many to list, but to die for. Went there last week,had to attend a funeral in Brooklyn, made it there with a 1/2 hour to spare, had another couple from NJ with us, they couldn't stop raving about the food, Paul even kissed the waitresses arm! The food is soo delicious, the 4 of us ate till we couldn't move, and took home food too, all for around $70.00. The best thing to get there is the Panelle Special, which is fried panelle (flattened chickpeas1?!) that are deepfried, and topped with ricotta cheese, and another grated cheese on top, sandwitched in the best tasting rolls. Get the 3 potato croquets with that, and a riceball, and drink a Manhattan Special. You will be in heaven! It is worth the trip from anywhere to eat at Joes!
Pros: Authentic Sicilian cooking.
Cons: If you buy the croquets uncooked to make at home, don't buy too many, they don't keep.
