Food was very plain and not inexpensive. Took a long time to get food to the table and there was only 6 tables of customers. Much better Italian restaurants on Salina St than this for the same amount of money!

This is a place that's definitely living off of their reputation. Maybe they were good at one time; they're not anymore. The atmosphere inside is completely stifling. I felt like I was eating in someone's worn down basement. The chairs and tables are ancient, and the waitstaff shouts over your head like you're not even there. And that's before the... More

Busy place on the bad side of town. I was not impressed by the atmosphere, cleanliness or seating. I was further disappointed when my chicken caccitore came w/whole pieces of chicken bones & all. How ladylike to have to debone chicken covered in sauce. :( not a place I will be revisiting.

This wasn't our first visit, but may be our last. Extremely slow service..yes they were a bit busy, but that's no excuse. Our bread was delivered when the waitress removed it from under her armpit, where she transported it. Our dinners finally came, after a very long wait. When we asked for an extra dish of sauce (because there was... More

This was the first time I went to Aunt J's in about 10 years. Due to my poor memory I forgot why I stopped going. I quickly remembered when the waitress brought out the bread and dropped it on the chair and then picked it up with her bare hand and put it back in the basket!!! My wife and... More

I have been a patron of Aunt Josie's for about 10 years now. It is very unfortunate that our favorite waitress Frannie isn't there as much as she use to be. My wife and I love her smile and genuine happiness. We love the food but we think we love it so much because Frannie delivers it to us with... More

We had been going to Aunt Josies for 38 years, each year on our anniversary, and at other times too. This year we went, were seated timely, ordered and received drinks from a waitress who obviously did not wish to be there. I've seen this waitress there many times, but never had the disspleasure of dealing with her. Every year... More

Reminds me of the little italian restauranmts my dad used... More
