Neighborhood fixture serving traditional, old-school Italian entrees, steaks & seafood.
"This Italian American institution slings steak with a side of ravioli. The original Original Joe’s in North Beach has a brick corner fireplace in the front room, but real ones know the biggest Joe’s with the biggest fireplace is the Westlake location — technically in Daly City. It’s worth the trip for the midcentury glam details, including a distinctive trapezoidal fireplace with a tall black chimney in the bar, and a long glass fireplace built into a stone wall of the front room." - Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
"Original Joe’s is an Italian restaurant mini-chain that will add Zanze’s Cheesecakes to its menu." - Lauren Saria
"Oh, for the days of waiting it out with leather-clad bikers and children’s soccer teams before sliding into a big booth, taking that first sip of a cold martini, and tucking into steak and ravioli. Until then, Original Joe’s has both a full takeout menu and a grab-and-go market. The pro move might be to order prime rib with creamed spinach for date night, and stash a bag of ravioli in the freezer for later. Joe’s has meat ravioli, veal tortellini, and cheese tortellini, and never fear, also lasagna, baked ziti, and eggplant parm. The pasta shop is open every day, so check out the menus online, and call 650-755-7400 to place an order for curbside pickup." - Becky Duffett
"Covering all lasagna and meatball needs, with a well-stocked freezer case and takeout menu." - Becky Duffett
"Landmark Italian-American restaurant Original Joe’s is opening a spinoff location in West Portal. Taking a page out of their successful playbook in North Beach and Daly City’s Westlake, owners John and Elena Duggan will take over the former Paradise Pizza location at 393 West Portal Avenue. The original Original Joe’s opened in the Tenderloin in 1937. A fire closed it in 2007, and the restaurant reopened in North Beach in 2012. Other locations with the same roots, like Marin Joe’s and an Original Joe’s in San Jose, still operate, but aren’t run by the Duggan family — or nearly as well-loved." - Caleb Pershan
