Joe`s Italian DeRidder — Restaurant in DeRidder

Joe’s Italian Grill delivers the kind of experience you hope for every time you go out to eat, but so rarely find. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was unmatched—the owner and staff greeted us warmly, held the doors open for us coming and going, and made us feel truly welcome. The service was attentive without being overbearing.

The food was outstanding. I had the Chicken Cremora Mushroom, which came with the richest, most flavorful cream sauce I’ve had at any Italian restaurant. The fried calamari was perfectly cooked and fresh, and my wife enjoyed the Chicken Primavera—both generous portions with plenty to take home.

The atmosphere is inviting, clean, and family-friendly, and you can tell the staff and ownership genuinely care about every guest’s experience. Even as we left, the owner sent us off with a big smile and a “Stay cold!”—a simple gesture that speaks volumes.

We just finished curbside pickup from here and it's all delicious! The food is made from high quality ingredients and everyone there is very friendly. They have lunch specials starting at $11.99. I had the manicotti lunch, it had 2 manicotti, a salad (house dressing) and rolls made from pizza dough. I'm extremely full! We have also tried the lunch Lasagna, lunch chicken parm. Not from the lunch menu we have tried the chicken and shrimp in marcella sauce and 2 more but I forgot the names. Everything has been absolutely delicious! They do have low carb options to replace the pasta with veggies. The inside is a bit fancy and would be a great place for a date or meal out with friends. We will definitely...

Had an absolutely fantastic experience! I haven't been this excited to write a review! The service was attentive and the resturant is spotless! The food was to die for!! My first dish here was the lobster ravioli and It was delicious; it was not only generously seasoned, but the sauce was very rich and delightful! As the raviolis themselves were great, I found myself falling in love with the freshness of the shrimp! I'm leaving with another shrimp based pasta dish togo!!

If you want that family-run real Italian restaurant experience this is your place! If you're in town...
