Very clean restaurant. Good service. I had the vegetable lasagna. It was good, really good if you like alot of cheese, yea, this is for you. The zucchini bites were really good. Two sauces, I liked the Alfredo. My friends say to get the meatball quesadilla. They didn't have it that day, but that's supposed to be the bomb. Very clean restaurant
My family went here yesterday to celebrate my mother and my best friends birthday and to say how pleased we where would be an understatment, had the pleasure of meeting Anthony(owner) and our waitress Terry was amazing! I cant tell you the last time we all walked away from a restaurant saying cant wait till we come back again! The food was delicious, the atmosphere felt like you were at home!! Highly recommend and already planning our next gathering there, hopefully we will meet jojo this time!! Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality and will be seeing everyone soon!
Small little spot but absolutely huge portions. Got the eggplant parm and it was super good.
My wife and I with our friends had a wonderful dinner experience. The food was hot and delicious. Ambience with red roses and other amenities was lovely. The owners and Tracey our waitress were friendly and fun. We will surely be visiting a lot. The outside entrance looks OK but inside is great! We all felt the award is well deserved! See photos.
First time here but not the last, my wife and I went with a group of people from our community, the prices were slightly higher than we expected but the food made up for that, I had the baked ziti, my wife had a salad and a couple of meatballs plus 16 other people ate a fantastic assortment of fresh Italian food, the service was great and we had an added benefit of a singer that came in and sang very good,( entertainment is Wednesday and Thursday nights). So this hidden gem left me stuffed and singing all the way home. Thank you JoJo’s Italian restaurant in Tarpon springs
Almost don't want to leave too positive of a review because I'll probably never be able to get pizza that fast again. Been a big fan of JoJo's since they opened. This is probably the best pizza shop in Tarpon. There's a few other 'craft' pizza places in Tarpon, but way over priced. After all it's pizza. Not the cheapest but very reasonably priced for the quality that you get.
What a hidden gem. I’ve lived in Tarpon for nearly 10 years and just got into JoJos to try their Italian, which was phenomenal. The storefront is unassuming, interior reminds you of the Italian Mob movies, authentic! Wonderful service and food!
Oh, man, was this GREAT! Authentic Italian cuisine, like all the Italian mothers in my neighborhood used to make when I growing up. Excellent sweet red gravy, sausages and meatballs, homemade bread. Asked someone in the area where we could go for Italian food, and they were stumped, until the light came on and they said 'Oh! Jojo's Diner.' I was expecting a diner, but, this is a nice place with a great atmosphere, super-friendly wait staff, and most excellent food. A terrific discovery, we will be making the trip back. My compliments to the chef.
