You've probably heard of Joanne Trattoria in The New York Times, Zagat, and The New Yorker, or because of one very famous family (yes, Lady Gaga's), but locals keep coming back because it's one of the most fabulous spots on the Upper West Side. Owned by Gaga's parents, Joe and Cynthia Germanotta, Joanne invites you to cozy up inside or head out to the gorgeous patio where string lights glow overhead and the stars become part of the show. And speaking of the show, that's what makes Joanne different.
Grab your $79 pulse (a $140 value) for a 3 Course Dinner & Show For Two that includes 1 Appetizer, 2 Entrees, 1 Dessert, and 2 Specialty Cocktails or 1 Bottle of Red or White Wine, as well as Live Performances (subject to programming).
Every single night, dinner comes with live entertainment. Think powerhouse vocalists, dazzling drag performances, burlesque, Broadway talent, cabaret, surprise guest performers, and the kind of energy that turns "just dinner" into a full night out. One moment you're sipping a Negroni, the next you're singing along with the room.
The menu is packed with crowd-pleasing Italian favorites by esteemed Executive Chef Travis Jones. We're talking starters like Joanne's Fried Calamari with Hot Peppers, moving onto mains to the tune of Joanne's Grilled Ribeye grilled to your temperature & smothered with caramelized onions, or the Grilled Baby Lamb Chops marinated in garlic and rosemary. Lest we forget, a dessert of Tiramisu always adds a sweet note to this delectable ensemble.
Whether you're planning date night, celebrating with friends, or just looking for a restaurant that has it all, Joanne Trattoria gets better once the lights dim and the performances begin...
There are Italian restaurants, and then there's Joanne Trattoria. Equal parts neighborhood institution, live entertainment hotspot, and celebrity-owned hidden gem, this Upper West Side favorite has been charming New Yorkers for over a decade. Just steps from Lincoln Center, Central Park, and the American Museum of Natural History, it's the perfect excuse to make an evening of it.
Owned by Joe and Cynthia Germanotta (better known as Lady Gaga's parents), Joanne was built on the idea of gathering around the table like family. The restaurant is named after Gaga's late aunt Joanne, and that sense of warmth, hospitality, and old-school Italian tradition is woven into every corner, from the cozy dining rooms to the enchanting garden patio complete with fireplaces and twinkling lights.
Film buffs might even recognize the building. Long before Joanne opened its doors, the space famously served as the exterior of Miranda Hobbes' apartment in Sex and the City, giving this Upper West Side address an extra dose of New York history.
The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Travis Jones, whose refined yet approachable cooking celebrates classic Italian comfort food with contemporary flair. Housemade pastas, fresh seafood, prime steaks, and signature antipasti are all crafted with premium ingredients and a deep respect for traditional Italian recipes, while an expertly curated cocktail program and extensive wine list make lingering over dinner almost mandatory.
As impressive as the food is, the entertainment is what truly sets Joanne apart. Every evening, the restaurant transforms into one of Manhattan's most buzzing gems with an ever-changing lineup of live music, Broadway-caliber singers, dazzling drag performances, burlesque, cabaret, themed tribute nights, and surprise guest artists.
Joanne Trattoria serves up authentic Italian cuisine, unmistakable New York character, and a nightly show that keeps guests coming back for an encore. What more can you ask for?
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
