The pizza was quite good, but everything else was just fair. And I asked if they made the pasta and other foods in house, and they did not. Guess they should have....

... not that I don't like the Hampton Inn, I do like the Hampton Inn. It's just that (unlike Europe) a hotel restaurant in the US is a place for the traveler too weary or to undiscriminating to have a french dip or a burger before getting between the sheets. So, like the other reviewers have said, this place deserves... More

Like Calandra's in Jersey. Great Italian restaurant where you don't expect it. Second time-again great food and service.

Like others, I avoided Joe and Maria's because I didn't want to eat and the "hotel restaurant". I've been staying at this Hampton Inn (which is also very nice) for many years, and only just tried this restaurant, which is independently-owned. The food is terrific and the staff incredibly friendly. Whether you are staying at the Hampton, somewhere nearby, or... More

I stayed at the Hampton Inn and decided to settle for the restaurant that was attached to the hotel. Boy, was I glad I did. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the martini was cold and inviting and the food was excellent. I started with Mozzarella In Carrozza - a very generous portion of lightly fried mozzarella with prosciutto and... More

Having lived in Norwood since 2006, we've been dodging Joe & Maria's because of it's location, which is inside the Hampton Inn. We decided to give it a try this past Saturday as we are tired of the other Italian eateries in the area. Looks like we are the ones who have been losing out for not visiting Joe &... More

My husband and I have been to this restaurant a dozen times in the last 4 years. We have never been disappointed with the food or service. Family run business and some of the best Italian food around, a must try!

I didn’t expect much from this small Italian restaurant but I was completely blown away. I am a meat man myself but the Margarita pizza that was made by Maria (the owner) was amazing and the Pappardelle Bolognese was even better. The service here is better than most of the 5 star restaurants that I have dined at and Maria’s... More

This restaurant is attached to the Hampton Inn in Norwood. I usally avoid restaurants attached to ANY hotel but decided to give it a try since I was staying there. The food was incredible. I tried the Braised Lamb Shank special that was serverd over rosemary polenta, and it was one of the best I've ever had. Local owner and... More
