Gilroy’s Best Landmark Restaurant

A genuine Italian Eatery in Gilroy California, Since 1981; Joe’s Italian Restaurant successfully passed ownership from one authentic Italian food loving family to another.
The Bertolone Family opened the doors of Joe’s Italian Restaurant back in 1981 and after over two decades of successful service to the community transferred ownership to the De Alba Family. In one year, Carmen and Alfonso De Alba with the appropriate menu improvements obtained the Gilroy’s Dispatch Readers’ Poll awards for “Best Italian Restaurant”, “Best Pizza”, “Best Restaurant been Around 10+ years”.
