The Southwest Voice

I visited Joseph's Italian Restaurant on Aug. 12 with friends and family to dine and wine. For those of you you who haven't had the opportunity to visit Joseph's, a charming little Italian-themed restaurant in central Bakersfield, then I highly recommend visiting this great eatery! 

Joseph's dim lighting makes for a relaxed feel, with authentic Italian music playing softly in the background. I was very impressed with the attentive, fast and friendly service we all received during our visit. Being a chef myself, I always want to know the customer's opinion of the food and service, which is exactly what their chef did. Our chef greeted everyone in our party and personally asked how the food was. 

My table ordered a variety of items from the menu, including a perfectly cooked "exactly what we wanted" New York-style steak. Shrimp fettuccine alfredo, a lasagna Italian trio –– all of these included hot sliced bread and a fresh garden salad. Two of us had some red wine. All of this came to $56.87, which in my book is not a bad price for the quality food we were served. All of our sauces were made with fresh ingredients, from the alfredo sauce to the mariana sauce. 

For those of  you who want fast, fun and friendly service, I highly recommend Joseph's Restaurant. I put Joesph's on the top of my list for Italian restaurants. It's a tucked away restaurant full of charm.
