Original Joe's Reviews

301 S 1st St
San Jose, CA 95113-2884

(408) 292-7030

We specialize in traditional, authentic Italian food, prepared as our family always has, & served with San Francisco flair & a smile! Our chefs boast over 50 years combined experience, & have put together a truly delicious menu that's sure to delight everyone who comes through our doors. Customer favorites include Chicken Parmesan, steaks, Eggplant Parmesan, Lasagna, & Veal Scaloppini. On May 24, 1956, Louis Rocca, Louis Rocca, Jr. (Babe), Arthur Tortore (Otto) & Anthony Caramagno (Nino) opened Original Joe's in San Jose. The partners wanted to bring an authentic San Francisco restaurant to the South Bay. They were convinced that if they could keep it authentic, they could serve the community by producing their traditional home-style Italian-American cuisine. Their desire was so great that they actually transported San Francisco French bread via Greyhound bus every day for the first 2 years of operation. In the early 70's, downtown San Jose started to flounder. Businesses were relocating to the outskirts of town. Original Joe's became one of the cornerstones for an ever changing downtown. As the genres of food have changed over the years, Original Joe's maintains it traditional roots. Still owned & operated by the Rocca Family, Original Joe's continues to strive to replicate the dining experience that people have enjoyed for over 51 years. Original Joe's is conveniently located in Downtown San Jose, within walking distance of the San Jose Convention Center & all the major hotels with plenty of parking. Minutes away are the San Jose Sharks Stadium & the San Jose Symphony & Theater around the corner. Also conveniently close by are San Jose International Airport, Highways 87, 880 & 101.
