That's what it's like when dining at Josephine, an Italian-American restaurant concept that pays homage to the owner's grandmother! The vision behind Josephine is "born from fond family memories, inspiring travels, and countless conversations."

Bringing Italy to Avondale, Florida, Josephine is a new concept that allows guests to enjoy handmade pasta, Italian aperitifs, and so much more.

Paying homage to the owner’s grandmother, the menu is inspired by the Italian art of eating, drinking, and communing with one another.

Some guests said about dining at Josephine that they feel like they were eating in another city.

The pasta is hand rolled, the drinks are classic Italian with a twist, and the ambiance taps into Italy with beautiful decor and gorgeous lighting.

Sidle up to the bar for a glass of wine or a classic craft cocktail like a dirty martini, a vesper, or an Aperol spritz.

Then, get ready to feast. The menu ranges from delicious starters like sourdough focaccia, crostini, arancini, or polpettes…

…and then dives into scrumptious antipasti options like panzanella, burrata, or crudo.

Are you a fan of fresh pasta? I am, too, which is why I went crazy over the pasta options here. Everything is rolled fresh, from the braised beef ravioli or the cacao e pepe to the signature dish Pinwheel Lasagna.

Plus, you’d be silly not to save room for dessert, especially with options like olive oil cake, housemade gelato, tiramisu, and more.
