    Restaurant has been completely remodeled and looks good inside. Plenty of parking and lots of inside seating. Service was on point, quick and friendly. Food was okay, I was not blown away, but it was about what you would get at a local chain Italian restaurant.

    Our family absolutely loves Joe's, and we're thrilled it's finally back! It's our go-to spot for special occasions, offering some of the finest upscale dining in Springdale. Over the years, I've savored many of the chef's signature dishes--some of which I hope will return to the menu soon. If you're a fan of rich, flavorful entrees, I highly recommend trying anything with their iconic pink sauce. While several of us swear by the perfectly cooked Chicken Marsala, I find that the Lobster and Shrimp Ravioli is the real standout at the moment. Don't miss the bread dipping oil--an exceptional blend of olive oil, vinegar, and herbs that's truly one of the best I've ever tasted. The restaurant's recent redesign is elegant and inviting. I especially enjoy the mesmerizing videos of fly-by and street views of scenic Italian locales playing throughout the space, which add a lovely ambiance. The core waitstaff are experienced and attentive, ensuring a seamless dining experience. High-end dining options in Springdale are limited, but Palermo consistently shines. Though it has operated under different names and locations over the years, the quality and flavor remain steadfast. It continues to be our favorite Italian restaurant in the Springdale-Fayetteville area since its inception many years ago.

    Loved this place! The ambience is so chill and it's so nice and quiet. Our server Carolyn was great, and the chef even came out to talk to me about my order! I had requested a change to something and he came to tell me he didn't think it would be good, he was very kind! I really appreciated that and it was delicious!!!

    Wonderful Italian food in a beautiful setting. The owner isn't new to the restaurant business in…read moreNWA but hasn't had a location for a while since selling his original building to others several years ago. He started with the Joe's Italian restaurant in Springdale on Hwy 412 which burned his next was on Wedington in Fayetteville. After he expanded in the area, he sold the business to others. They were unable to maintain his quality and have all closed. If you ever ate at any of the original restaurants you would remember the huge garlic rolls served hot to the table while you wait. Those are served here. They make going there worth the trip without having anything else. But, you're gonna want something else, believe me!!! The food speaks for itself. All servings are large and delicious. The waitstaff is friendly and helpful. This is a win-win experience.

    Beautiful restaurant! I loved the decor and ambiance. It's a classy restaurant…read more Food is pretty good. I enjoyed chicken Piccata . My daughter ordered Fettuccine Alfredo and she thought it was a bit bland. I agree with her . Portions are generous. We couldn't finish our food. Our waitress was very pleasant but service overall seemed very scattered prior to being seated. Everyone was running around , looking confused. We actually came few days prior and were turned around despite calling ahead to confirm hours. After driving for 12 hours ( vacation) we didn't want to drive for nothing . This place needs better customer service and better communication among their staff. Other than that, I think it's a place worth visiting.

    I had Italian sausage Bolognese, and halfway through traded it for my friends wild mushroom pasta…read more Both were fantastic, and had rich creamy sauces. The sausage was pretty killer, a tad spicy. The mushroom pasta had a tinge of lemony zest to it. Morels were deliciously panfried in butter. My favorite was the to go order for a third person though: pistachio Alfredo, a similar sauce to the wild mushroom pasta but a bit nuttier. Zero complaints with the food, and i look forward to the owners new location (pizza Lotties) that will be opening soon i hear. This place is dangerously close to five star perfection, if only it were not so crowded (locals know whats up) and it's also a bit loud. The open air kitchen is a nice touch but probably doesn't help with the noise. Imo good food for decent value and would be worth the wait (you can enter into the waitlist online which i will certainly do next time and probably opt for patio seating if possible) All in all very satisfied. This place has a cool menu that seems to evolve and explore the culinary arts. (I love that someone thought to make a sausage/pasta dish with Korean gochujang) I look forward to partaking in many future gourmand adventures here made possible made by such creative kitchen-bound artists

    Great food, abismal service. I genuinely can't even put it into words. I understand waiting a while…read morefor seats, what I don't understand is how takes 30 minutes to get us water. Couldn't tell you the servers name, but I can tell you I won't be back for that. Edit: To address your response, after waiting that long for water, I did go up and tell the person at the front desk. At which point, our server did come and check on us. She said that you all ran out of clean cups and got us water, but did not ask if we wanted other drinks, my brother had to quickly ask her to grab him a soda before she ran off, then she asked my sister and I if we wanted anything else. We put in our food order as well because we did not know how long it'd take her to come back. Thank God we did because it took forever for her to come check on us. We didn't get one refill, didn't get one "do you need anything." We watched her talk to who I assume was the manager about pre-closing, and watch her take phone orders. I get that she might be new, but there seemed to be no interest in taking our order or serving us. After we finished our food, we stacked our plates and waited for it another 30 minutes for the check. When we finally received it, I just walked up to the counter to get checked out because I was not going to give her my card and wait for another God knows how long. Appreciate the advice, but I did express frustration and was met with more frustration. Work on your training practices.

Big shoutout to Macy (forgive me if it's Marcy, my memory is failing me there), who greeted us as the host, was our server, and was on bartending duty and made us a great mocktail as well. She made us feel very welcome and got us what we needed with a great attitude. As my wife put it, this place has "good bones." I liked the atmosphere and I overall enjoyed the flavor of the food. I had one of the specials, a steak and mushroom risotto. I was a bit saddened by the grey color of the steak, improper cook, and the rice was slightly undercooked, but I did enjoy the flavors and I wouldn't say they were far off from nailing it. Another gentleman, not sure if he was the manager or owner, checked on us as well and had a good sense of humor. Overall a good experience and we are definitely rooting for this place! I would love to dine here again to try more.

I appreciate that he was courteous enough not to barge in when we're in the middle of a conversation...just terrific. We were tucked in a corner, which gave us some privacy. The ambience was great.
