We ended up having breakfast there three days in a row--coffee was always flowing, and our food came out quickly, even with special requests. We didn't get a chance to try lunch, but it's a great spot if you're looking for a yummy, early breakfast with friendly, attentive service.

For being next to the ocean I expected fresh fish but that was not what I got, I guess I should have asked before ordering so my mistake. It was ok but NOT for the price.

If you're looking for something different from the usual fried seafood around Southport, this is a big win--highly recommend. Also worth noting: there was a steady flow of people coming in for both takeout and dine-in while we were there, which is always a great sign.

Mixed review here. First time going to Castucci's for my husband's birthday recently. Made our…read morereservation for 5:30. Got to the restaurant at 5:15 and was told they had us down for 5 on the patio....okay I'll take it as miscommunication, but unless your patio is air conditioned, not sitting there in 95 degrees. I had never requested it either. We were immediately sat inside where there were lots of open spaces. Another couple came in after and were told their reservation was for the following night. The poor man was so perplexed knowing he had made it for that day. Food: our Caprese appetizer had great flavor but the tomatoes were hard as rocks. Not good. My husband's Veal Marsala was some of the best I've ever tasted. He had enough for lunch the next day. My Seafood Stefano had great flavor. In my opinion if you're going to put clams in a dish, don't use ones where the clams are so tiny you can't taste them. I've never seen clams that little. Would I go back? Yes, for the veal definitely. Give them a chance, but definitely repeat back to them your reservation time.

This was our first time dining at Joseph's Italian Bistro on Oak Island, and we were not…read moredisappointed. Reservations are a must, as the restaurant gets very busy during dinner--and for good reason. The staff was incredibly friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, and the food was beyond delicious. We ordered the tuna entrée, chicken parmesan, and veal parmesan, and every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The cheese bread was a standout and absolutely addictive. We also loved the drink menu--the lavender martini was fantastic, and the holiday drink selections were a fun touch and very well done. We enjoyed our experience so much that we're already booked to return in two days. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an excellent Italian dining experience on Oak Island!

Our party of 6 dined at Joseph's the week of Christmas. Everyone had such a great experience we're…read morestill talking about it. The most wonderful part of the evening was the fabulous service from Carrie. She could teach a master class in hospitality. I really enjoy the vibe of this restaurant. We felt like "regulars" even though it was only our second visit. It was busy that night but not overly noisy, unlike some restaurants in the area. Soft-shell crab with polenta was a special that night and was enjoyed by our party, as well as the carbonara, mussels, saltimbocca, lasagna, and veal piccata. All dishes were visually appealing, as well as seasoned and portioned appropriately. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is because the calamari were so tiny - like the size of Cheerios. I don't know if that's just what they got in that week or they're always that small. And there was a snafu in the kitchen and my plate came out ten minutes later than everyone else's. But we will definitely return! Thank you again Carrie for treating us so well.

I decided to get a root beer and a slice of pepperoni. The gentleman took the slice from a fridge/ freezer not sure then put in oven for a few minutes. When I was given the slice it didn't look very desirable, I have seen better at the mall. Taste let something to be desired. For the price I would have expected more than a store bought pizza. I do not know how or if they make or purchase their pizza but maybe some people enjoy this type of pizza but for me I won't be returning.
