Gelato Joe's Italian Restaurant & Bar

Gelato joes always reminds me Lady and the Tramp coming in. It’s a true Italian restaurant that also makes fantastic bushwhackers (the main reason we come)! Their chicken Parmesan is top notch and cannolis are great!

We found this place off a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, the atmosphere is lovely and there was live music outside. They have so many options and they are all cohesive and well thought out. I would patronize this place again, but I will say that many of their chairs are not big booty friendly. Do with that what you will.

Tonight I took two friends to dinner early to arrive and find a table where it was a little warmer and more comfortable. Suddenly someone blasted us with the music to the point where my friends and I couldn’t speak for the loud base pounding our ears. The waitress upon our kind request turned the volume down so we could eat and talk and hear each other. This lasted until the owner decided to blast the music from his kitchen or back room location not answering our request to the waitress to please place the volume down again. She actually let us know the owner did this and she was not going to ask for us. We decided we COULD NOT enjoy the meal and wanted dessert but no way were we spending another moment or $ to go where the owner is so rude to do this to his patrons. We hand carried our money to the cashier to settle our bill and get the heck out of this annoying place. New tables not a plus when the owner is this rude. My 4500 ladies in my Baldwin County Ladies group will have a warning for sure not to give him the business since he is a jerk to treat us in the NW corner of the dining area under the speakers like this! Rude person and nothing will make me want to go back to this place! Big mistake Mr.! You treated the wrong person with disrespect! I will be happy to share my experience.

I had the lobster ravioli and it was scrape the bowl good. My daughter had fettuccine alfredo and she said it was creamy and delicious. My wife had the chicken florentine. The flavor was great however the chicken it self was rubbery. The restaurant took good care of it so just some disappointment.(pasta was excellent) Based on the rest of the meal I feel the chicken was likely a one off. If back in town would definitely eat here again. Almost forgot the side salads were great and fresh.

Really good Italian food! We had the dinner for two so we could sample several things. Then enjoyed some of the gelato afterwards. The service pace was a little fast for date night but could tell the rush was coming.

Lots of sandwich, salad and pasta options for all your food groups desires. I can't find manicotti anywhere and theirs was really good. My picture doesn't do it justice. French on soup was good too. They have counter you can pick fresh prepped take and bake meals too. Gelato of course for dessert that is on par with what I had in Italy just a few weeks ago.

If you love Italian food you will love this place. The service was right on point and he offered great suggestions. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and had the stuffed shells. Both was hot fresh and great taste. Definitely a must try if you're in the area.
