Joe’s Italian Restaurant Lake Jackson — Restaurant in Lake Jackson

We were very impressed with the food and service here. Our server was Patricia. She was very nice she gave us some recommendations despite not having had many of the dishes herself. She did a great job keeping drinks filled and checking on us. We ordered the pesto bread dip. It was delicious,made with quality olive oil fresh basil, dried basil and herbs, red pepper, parm, we scraped the bowl clean! The bread was fresh made and wonderful! The menu had unique sauces and that were customizable with protein and pasta options. We had the spaghetti works and the shrimp and chicken a la romana. Both were incedible. The spaghetti was made with italian sausage meat sauce, mushrooms and meatballs. The shrimp and chicken with alfredo sauce and artichokes, tomatoes, onion. We are looking forward to going back to try more soon! The atmosphere was ok. A few changes in details would make it nicer. Hopefully once this place is established they will get cloth table covers and napkins. And a nice bread basket with a cloth to cover it with. My red wine was served in a tea glass which was different. It was these small things that take away from the ambiance hence the 1 star deduction. I would also expect a place like this to have a few house specialty mix drinks. I plan on bringing my friends that lived in Italy for several years to see how...

Terrible first time experience. Had artichoke dip and wasn’t served with the toast. We asked how or what we were suppose to dip with it to eat. Steak was ordered medium rare and came out well. Chicken on tour of Italy was rubber the lasagna was cold. The Assistant Manager Emma said they had 2 big table tops so their kitchen was backed up. They were not trying to earn our business at all. The management was all giggles when they came to our table.

My thoughts if you have 2 big parties you should stagger your other tables to accommodate your kitchen.

Apparently we weren’t the only table that had issues.

We will not be returning to this restaurant because they didn’t value our business tonight.

They have lots of improving to do to survive in a town with many other options to chose from:

I’ve heard that Drini’s is great and I will definitely drive past Joe’s Italian to try them out.

Plus I’ve known many Joe’s Italians in the gulf coast area that have been open and now closed. I understand why they can’t survive with poor restaurant management.

This group is planning to go open one up in...

True taste of Italy!

From the moment you walk in you're transported straight to the heart of Italy. This isn't just another Italian restaurant — it's a culinary experience that captures the soul of Italian cooking with impeccable service and a warm, welcoming ambiance.

You start off with a light and fluffy home made roll with butter. Every dish is a masterpiece. The handmade pasta is perfectly al dente, with rich sauces that feel both rustic and refined.

Save room for dessert! The Tiramisu is the best I’ve ever had — light, creamy, and just the right touch of espresso. But the cannolis are even better!

The staff treats you like family — warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food. The space is elegant but comfortable, with soft lighting, tasteful décor, and a gentle hum of Italian music in...
