    This was a great lunch. I was just looking for a place that was open on New Year’s Day and Josephine didn’t disappoint! Great food that my whole family enjoyed and the service was fantastic. I’ll glady go back - and the thin crust and deep dish pizzas were amazing.

    The food and drinks were good as was the overall atmosphere. The service was great as well, the server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The tables are very close together, so we could hear the conversations from the tables next to us, and viceversa. That ruined the mood of an otherwise good experience.
