Reviews for JoJo's Italian Diner in Tarpon Springs, FL
Awesome food! We were a party of 5 and read some good reviews on Jo Jo?s, so decided to give it a try. WOW! The food is... awesome! We tried a few appetizers and dinners that were the daily specials-so good! Everything down to the bread to the saladwith homemade Italian dressing was so good! Our waitress Terri was so personable and fun- guiding us on our meal selections. Wewould definitely recommend making a trip to downtown Tarpon Springs for this off the beaten path local restaurant. It will soonbecome a favorite! Read more
Straight out of the gate the ambiance is nice. Reminded me of Forlini's in Manhattan's Little Italy. Nailed the vibe. The server... was nice. I don't drink wine, but tasted our friends sangria and it was actually pretty good. I ordered chicken Parm and askedfor a side of Alfredo sauce. I was told I could get Alfredo on my pasta but everything is made fresh to order including thesauce so she doubted I could get a side of sauce. Weird but ok. Low and behold it came on the side with my meal. I'm not sure Iwould call it Alfredo as it was very bland. I'm not sure it has garlic in it. The red sauce didn't have a ton of flavor either.The chicken was pounded pretty thin, and wasn't overly breaded. The menu said the chicken entrees came with garlic bread, housesalad, and pasta. As you can see from my picture I didn't get any garlic bread though. Our friends said their meals were OK,but they would order something different next time if they came back. My wife said her Godfather sub was OK as well. I'm notsure we'd come back. Read more
Food was very good, Terry our server was friendly & attentive. Meatball was soft & delicious. Marinara was flavorful and... portions perfect size. Antipasto salad was full of cheese, olives and pickled vegetables. Sangria was delicious (,tho a bitlight) and the pour was very generous. I will be back! Read more
An Italian friend recommended this place for having authentic Italian food. IT WAS AMAZING! Cozy diner, reminiscent of The... Godfather, and the food was delicious, with generous portions. We didn't have a reservation, but they accommodated usimmediately. Definitely will return! I had the antipasto salad, so good, and HUGE. Read more
Authentic Italian food!!! Friendly and caring staff! ...and loved that it is locally owned. If we visit Tarpon Springs again,... we will go back! (Although we loved all of the greek food in the area, it was refreshing to find a real Italian restaurant!!!) Read more
I found this restaurant on Yelp and I'm so glad we went because the food and service were fantastic. The chef, JoJo, and her... husband, Anthony own this quaint restaurant in Tarpon Springs. We ordered fried calamari with a side of marinara sauce which wascooked perfectly and not greasy at all. It was well seasoned and the sauce had a slight kick to it which complimented thecalamari. My boyfriend ordered the Seafood Pasta special, a combination of shrimp, crab, calamari and lobster in a marinarasauce over linguini. It was a large portion and he really enjoyed it. I had the Shrimp Scampi Alfredo (you read it right) overangel hair, which was the best Alfredo I've had in a long time! Both entres included a side salad with homemade Italian dressingand a small garlic bread loaf. We ordered dessert to take home, an egg nog cheesecake with cookie crumble crust and topping anda rainbow cake, both were rich and flavorful. We highly recommend this restaurant!! Read more
Very clean restaurant. Good service. I had the vegetable lasagna. It was good, really good if you like alot of cheese, yea,... this is for you. The zucchini bites were really good. Two sauces, I liked the Alfredo. My friends say to get the meatballquesadilla. They didn't have it that day, but that's supposed to be the bomb. Very clean restaurant Read more
Every time I go to JoJo's it's amazing...and I've never had the same thing twice. (And I'm very picky so ..says ALOT). Never... been disappointed and never left hungry or without a box going home. OUTSTANDING, if 10 was a choice... Read more
