Joe’s on Higgins has been serving the Jefferson Park neighborhood and local families since the 1950’s. Our family is thrilled to be still serving yours. A little corner restaurant packed full of all sorts of exciting Italian dishes, wines, and lots of heart. Three generations later, Higgins’ is woven deeply into our story and our most secret ingredient.
We love it here, it’s all so good.

    We have been coming to Joe’s since they opened on Higgins. I even held my baby shower at their private space. Frank helped me with the shower. He went above and beyond for the event to be smooth and perfect. We came today for their lunch with Santa event and it was a great event! This is a great restaurant especially for the neighborhood.

    Food and drinks were great. We ate inside but there was live music which made the noise level so bad we couldn’t carry on a conversation. Music was good but if you want to visit with your dinner companions - forget about it!

    Food was great here! Appetizers are so delicious and authentic! This was my second visit here and both times had great service and food. My husband had the veal Marsala and ate every morsel except for a sample for me. Pizza, arancini balls, seafood appetizer and pasta with meatballs. We will be returning!

    First time and we will go back! Outdoor seating was awesome Food very good- a little too much breading on eggplant parmigiana. Gluten free crust pizza fantastic. Stuffed pizza so much cheese- YUMMY! Service great - very attentive Only problem is that 2 meals were served , then 10 minutes later a thin crust pizza and another 5 minutes for pan pizza. Would have preferred all at once
