    Joey's is an excellent Italian eatery. We have been coming here for almost 10 years. The pastas are great, I love their gnocchi with the pink sauce. The service is very good, efficient and friendly. If you seat outside be ready for a very loud neighborhood, it can be overwhelming. Otherwise a great local restaurant, consistent through the years. I was there for my 60th birthday, came back yesterday for my 68th., always great memories!

    This is our go-to place for getting together with friends, experiencing the energy of Wynwood, and having a great meal. Chef Luis is always "on," and the food is excellent value. They have a 3-course special (with wine) at $37pp that is amazing...try it!

    We were recommended to go there by our kids so we made a reservation for our anniversary. It was 7 o’clock on a weekday in the middle of summer so it wasn’t terribly busy which was nice because we’re a little bit older. John was our waiter, and was very personable knowledgeable, and took very good care of us. The manager came over and welcomed us as well wished us a happy anniversary. It was a very pleasant experience, but the food was phenomenal. We had a bruschetta with nice fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. We had believable mushroom risotto with truffle oil and a perfect al dente Bolognese. Finished it off with Bombolini and ice cream. Pure pleasure.

    We are frequent diners at Joey's, and we love the place. They just introduced a 3-course offering that is as amazing as it is filling (and affordable). You should try it out!!! Chef Luis prepares incredible food, and the staff (across the board) is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed.

    The cutest Italian spot in Wynwood, on a corner of a busy section intersection but while we were eating it seemed as if the restaurant was just by itself. Dinned outside so it was perfect for people watching :)

    Our second visit. Calamari is excellent, but not as crispy this time. Pasta and pizza great, Chilean wine good value. Service professional and fast. Though very hard to park in Wynwood (nearby garage cost $20!!) would go again but not on weekend...crazy traffic.

    We went on a special Friday night where DJ Roberto was playing great mixes of Brazilian music to great salsa. The food was stupendous as we had tender octopus and meatballs as starters and the best pizza we’ve ate in a long time. Our outside seating was comfortable and entertaining with the music and dance floor participants. It was a chilly night in Wynwood but the service was spot on since our server was constantly aware of what we needed to make our meal pleasant. Great night to make us come back soon.

    Overall food was great, nice ambiance, prices were reasonable for food and drink given the area. I would have loved more hands on service considering that we were only one of 3 tables in doors. Basically there was one main waiter (he was great) who was the only one taking care of tables and getting flustered while other wait staff lounged and gossiped by cash register even though our table had asked them for additional drinks they never provided. Gratuity was pre-included in bill as well.
