"When Joe’s was founded in 1982, it was a focacceria, selling sandwiches, bowls of steaming tripe soup, and other old-style Sicilian treats. Then around 2004 it moved north on Forest Avenue into a new and more elegant space and became a full-blown restaurant. Pastas are a strong point, including spaghetti with thin and crisp Sicilian sausages, and linguine with red or white clam sauce. And don’t miss the anchovy and tomato salad as a starter." - Robert Sietsema
