Located in Carnegie Hill, Joanna's offers exceptional Northern Italian fare amidst enchanting surroundings. The quaint, cozy restaurant is burrowed in a charming townhouse setting, which the New York Observer states "is perfect for lingering over dishes like penne and shrimp in a delicious pesto sauce". According to the Zagat Survey, what gives this restaurant an edge over the others in this neighborhood is "a gracious welcome from an owner who remembers everyone." This personal attention is granted to each patron, as host/owner John Opris is always aiming to please.
Candles at every table and nightly piano music in the genre of standards and classics add to the warm atmosphere at Joanna's. Sophisticated specials such as Baby Rack of Lamb, seared with fresh herbs, is served crispy outside and moist and juicy inside. A price fixed menu is available from 3:30-6:45, at a price of
$24.75 which is considered by Zagat readers a great “deal”. The menu consists of a choice of appetizer, entrée, and one of Joanna's
special desserts. The extensive wine list features labels from Italy, California, France and Australia - a choice is available for
every palate.
In the warmer spring and summer months, Joanna's offers its outdoor garden as an option for guests looking to have a more private or romantic dining experience. A separate private room towards the rear of the restaurant accommodates a larger number of guests wishing to celebrate in a removed setting making this an ideal spot for bridal showers and christenings.
With accolades from Forbes Magazine (Best Bets), Gourmet Magazine (50 Best Restaurants) and the New York Daily News, Joanna's will be sure to please those that are looking for an idyllic dining experience on the Upper East Side.
