Cannoli Joe's serves an Italian buffet. Lots of choices of Italian food and nice atmosphere. Lunch has the best price.

Went there for my mom birthday. Not much food. But nice place for family pictures. My favorite is pasta salad n the soup.

I've been to Cannoli Joe's a couple of times on the weekend (which is more expensive than weekday rates)...I like the music; a bit crowded for my tastes; and the selection could be better for what you have to pay. I wasn't too impressed.

The people working there were very well mannered, and treated us very nicely. The manager, Daniel, personally made special vegan orders for us, and was very nice to us.There was many buffet options for us, and we're vegan. I would recommend checking it out, and it was a nice experience for us.

Cannoli Joes is one of my favorite places to take people from out of town, for their birthday or for any other special occassion. The food is always delecious and well prepared. The atmosphere is fun, and there are many areas that are darker and romantic for those special date nights. The food has such a great selection that anyone... More

Overall the food is pretty average, but since you can pick and choose what you like and in the quantity you want, decent choice for the guys with an appetite.

What do you expect? This isn't Italy, people. Lots of over-sized diners. Past, pizza and bread galore, not good.
