Joe's Imports - Chicago

I’ve been longing to come here. It’s a cute lil wine food bar in Fulton market area. They don’t offer wine flights but have 5/8oz/bottle so we ended sharing 4 different-8oz bottle to make our own flights! Parmesan puffs were good, but I was expecting more melted cheese inside of the puff itself but the parm fondue was great! Octopus paella was surprisingly very enjoyable. Def would go back 10/10!

YES! YES! YES!!!! My wife and I are suckers for Italian food, which is perfect because Chicago always has so many new spots to try. The problem is when you spend , and get bland food, and meh experiences. Joe's is NOT that. This was one of the best food experiences we've had when comparing to our trip to Italy last year. First drinks: Under The Tuscan Rum, is fun, light, and a great cocktail! The PCP was surprising but in the best way! The wines were also very good. FOOD TIME: We started with the Whipped Ricotta which was very good. The honeycomb was the absolute best, but you can't forget the bread. It was buttery and crispy, and the perfect vessel for the ricotta. We also ordered the Raviolo and the Gnudi. The Raviolo was perfectly cooked, and the filling was very yummy. The broth was the perfect compliment. The Gnudi was by far our favorite dish. Super soft dumplings, amazing pesto, warm olives (its good, trust me). YUM! We were not going to get dessert but kept staring at the Berry Shortcake, and then were very glad we ordered it. I kept imaging myself as Pru and Paul, having nothing but good things to say while eating an amazing dessert. Ambiance, Service and decor were also very delightful.

Overall very satisfied with my meal. I came by with my friend and brother after seeing that Joe's Imports received a Bib Gourmand this year. The fried parmesan puffs were INCREDIBLE I'm truly shocked this isn't reviewed more frequently. The burger and whipped ricotta were also very tasty. The only disappointment was the cacio e pepe cheesecake it was sweet but otherwise nothing special.

Came for drinks, their cocktails deserve some love! We originally sat outside but moved inside to sit at the bar to avoid rain. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating. Drinks from left to right are Pretty in Pink, PCP, and Secret Garden. They were beautiful, delicious, and unique

Joe’s impressed with brunch. Compared to many restaurants that use this meal as a quick money grab, Joe’s delivers quality service, food, and atmosphere. The selection of wines caters to every palette and the food was tasty. One issue was that the spinach pasta dish was a bit under-seasoned. The team was polite and accommodating and really made the experience great.
