Lots of restaurants in the area were a bit too "fancy"< we all wanted something like this. The place is a nice restaurant and have a good variety of menu items. The prices were reasonable. They have wine and beer only because of being located near a church they can't serve "liquor". This was fine with us, we all had... More

We had dinner at Joe's Pasta Garage with our six year old. The interior decor is fun and funky and the food was great! We started with the pasta nachos which were delicious and came quickly (which I especially appreciated as it makes dining with a little one more enjoyable). The rest of the food was equally tasty and came... More

We came here as a family because of its no nonsense menu for our toddler. The portion sizes are good. The atmosphere is family friendly and we didnt have to wait for our food. A straightforward place with straightforward service.

I've had about a half-dozen meals here over the past few years and had never given much thought to writing a review because the experiences were never all that memorable (good or bad), until now. A few family members of mine like this place and always seem to choose Joe's if we are in the Skaneateles area. On a recent... More

I can't tell you how disappointing it is to read this review online. Taylor (your waitress) and I have reviewed this and she and I will be working on her awareness and service. To the points of your food comments. We have not had prime rib in 3 years so I'm sorry that we haven't had the chance to serve... More

We loved this place for their gluten free pizza, but they must have changed the recipe. It used to be thin and a little crispy, but this time it was thicker, crumbly and stuck to the roof of my mouth. The sauce also lacked its usual zest. Seems like a total change of staff as well. The house salad is... More

I am so disappointed to read that you were unhappy with the gluten free pizza. I can assure you that we haven't changed the recipe at all, that does not mean that when you were in that it was made incorrectly. We are confident that we have the best gluten free pizza in 20 miles. I would love the opportunity... More

This used to be our favorite escape restaurant but the last two times there the quality of the servings was not up to their prior high standard. The dishes seemed to lack the zesty taste we had come to expect. Hot rod pasta and garage riggies were dull and heavy. Maybe they have a new chef but it's not the... More

I've been here a bunch of times and have always had a great experience. Great pizzas, yummy pasta, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere makes dinning here a pleasure. I'm coming into town soon and I can't wait to go to Joe's!

I live out of town and whenever I am visiting I always make sure to pay a visit to this Skaneateles treasure. It is great and creative food and the prices wont break the bank. The Pizzas rival some of the best gourmet pizzerias I have ever been to. Honestly one of best restaurants in town. You must stop in... More

I live about 40 minutes from JPG, a bit too far to make me a regular, but if I were closer they'd see me quite often. My menu favorites are the lasagna and the American Bolognese (a delicious pasta dish with meat and cheese). I've had their pizza and it's pretty good, too. Portions are ample and the service has...

Our family loves this place. The whole family enjoys the atmosphere and food (there are pictures and memorabilia of when it was the garage), and the staff are friendly. The food is fresh and the service is typically quick (the pizzas take a bit longer as expected) making for a pleasant dining experience. Expect to wait in the summer months,... More
