Shame on me for putting off dining at Joe Benny's for so long! I wish there was more time to indulge in the Sloppy Balls, Foccacia, and the dreamy Reese's Cream Puffs with Silky Chi Hazelnut Mousse.... my daughter said I should befriend Joe so we could go eat at his house.... but for real, I need ei
Absolutely phenomenal. The pizza crust is incredibly light and airy, but crispy and crumbly on the outside. The sauce is perfectly acidic. Also had the meatball sub which was equally outstanding. They were soft and flavorful, served on a house baked roll and topped with sauce, ricotta and provo
The sign got us in, but the simple yet delicious food and authentic service earned the stars. This quaint Italian restaurant is a local gem and this was our first time in. Joe himself greeted us with a warm welcome and after a brief wait, we took a seat at the bar. While waiting for our order of mea
Had a great dinner experience! Stopped by on a Friday evening, no wait for a table. Our server Stephanie was great and recommended customer favorites. We shared the Big Guy focaccia pizza pie and the Anita Manna special with rigatoni pasta and meatballs. Both were absolutely delicious and paired gre
Another amazing evening at Joe Benny's! I was fortunate enough to get a table inside and enjoy the Bocce Focaccia straight from the oven! Fantastic Italian options and the Best Balls on the block.
Additional -- final week there. Amazing service and amazing food!
Came to Joe Benny’s from Virginia, our drive was about 1.5 hours, got there at 4:20pm, still had to wait until 6:30 to get seated because we needed the big table, but the wait was the most pleasant wait time i have ever had, the ambience was amazing, playlist was lit and you get to order drink while
TLDR: Amazing focaccia pizza and an unforgettable neighborhood atmosphere. Unfortunately they are closing their doors at the end of May 2023 for the time being. But it's not a goodbye for forever, but see you later!
Vibe: 5/5. Located in the heart of Little Italy on S High Street, Joe Benny's is a
Whatever this restaurant lacks in size, it makes up with outsized taste and charm! Remarkably, the dining room only has six tables. There are another four small tables outside. We came on a Saturday night around 7:30pm. We waited about 30 minutes for a table. There was a very limited menu because th
Consistently my favorite spot in Baltimore. You have to realize it's a small restaurant run by a small team. Expect to be patient and arrive early if you want to get a spot right away. I always aim to be at the bar to watch Joe in action and interact with everyone. You'll want to go more than on
This place was an amazing surprise after a long day of work in Baltimore. Meatballs and Pizza were incredible. The Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Puffs were a perfect ending to a great Meal.
Joe Benny's was a nice time. No wait got a table right away. The place has a warm vibe. This was our first time. The meatballs are tasty and the sauce is good. We had one of the cold cuts and it was made just right. Our waiter was cool. Could've may sure our water bottles were served cold felt lik
Joe’s food is the best- anywhere, not just in Baltimore; even better than any food I had when I lived in Italy. Joe, the food, the service, the low-key atmosphere are all the real deal. Do yourself a favor and order the burrata, the meatballs and some focaccia pizza- you gotta try everything. My fav
Great little place! I can attest to the statement on the shirt! (Check photo and read for yourself!)
The place was packed and it was a Wednesday night. Short wait, but worth it. We started off by being greeted by Joe Benny himself. Very welcome and energetic as he was preparing all of the meals per
Such gooood food in cold 🥶 weather!! Meatball and pizza are absolutely delicious. Really like the vibe of Joe, so funny and warm😆
This was recommended to me by my boss when he came to Baltimore one year ago. It was a 10 minute walk from the Inner Harbor. Wow! Was the food so good. I had the recommended meatballs and Silcilian salad. The best meatballs in Baltimore or anywhere.
Joe Benny's was a little smaller than I expected, but the food, service and drinks were awesome. We got an appetizer of best balls on the block, I got the cold cut and my partner got The Baltimore Foodie pizza. Everything was quote tasty!
Good spot. The Sangria was great. Meatballs were good and the sauce was good. The penne pasta was a bit dry we asked for more pesto sauce and the focaccia was also a bit dry. Toppings were good. The cream cheese puff hazelnut was good also. Nothing special but good spot.
Joe Benny’s was an amazing experience. Great costumer service, be ready to wait on a Saturday because there’s no reservations. The meatballs are the best in town, the sauce was delicious. Expect to be greeted by the owner also, he makes sure you are having a great time. The focaccia style pizza was
Absolutely satisfying dining experience at yet another one of Little Italy's premier establishments, Joe Benny's! Because the meatballs have gotten such rave reviews, I had to give them a try. Wow ... flavorful, filling, and full of love :-) Seriously, though, the texture and taste were nearly fl
