After a two-year closure, Original Joe's, San Francisco’s quintessential Italian-American dining destination, revitalized iconic Daly City institution Joe’s of Westlake, and reintroduced it into the community as Original Joe’s Westlake. An anchor of Daly City from 1956 to 2014, Original Joe’s Westlake underwent an extensive two-year renovation, complete with a front-to-back interior remodel, including the kitchen and all dining spaces, and an exterior and landscaping overhaul. Following the Original Joe’s tradition, Westlake continues to prepare unpretentious, old-school Italian-American fare in an open kitchen for all to see. The menu is carefully crafted to reflect a past-meets-present hybrid of what Joe’s of Westlake used to be and what Original Joe’s Westlake is today.

• Contemporary American • Noe Valley

We serve food that, more often than not, accesses that part of our deepest soul where genuine expression can flow forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We strive to be a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your possibly gracious host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there. Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. Can’t really help you there. We’re not so big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that remains accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you would call it.

Best pork chop ever. The tuna appetizer was tasty too. A special night out that myself and family enjoyed. My son commented that the selections were “real Italian dishes” the kind you would get in Italy. Authentic. Would definitely recommend to others. Attentive service but not overbearing. Nicely paced.

English may be a second language for the LOVELY Turkish proprietors, but good service is clearly their number one language. So too cooking. A great neighborhood spot with Turkish-leaning food but some California touches too (burrata, anyone?). Worth a visit.

Food and service were great! We do appreciated how the menu works for people who are omnivores, vegans, lactose-intolerant, gluten-free…and everything was DELICIOUS. We loved that everyone could find something to eat, and we could even share appetizers with restrictions. The wine list is also fantastic, loved the Chenin Blanc we ordered. Service was attentive and warm, decor is timeless. Firefly is a classic SF spot for a reason!

Been hearing that this is a good option if you are looking for an retro vibe, impeccable service and something like House of Prime Rib. Did not disappoint! Excellent meal and ambiance.

Dining area is more open after renovations which include outdoor dining. Clams in wine broth were delicious, as was the Butternut Squash soup & Marsala Fish dinner. Service excellent, street parking always a challenge. A bit more noisy with the open decor.
