A Northern Italian kitchen inspired by the Bacari of Venice. Our menu is inspired by tradition and dictated by the quality and availability of ingredients. We play off the similarities between the climates of Eastern Ontario and Northeast Italy, and create our take on classic dishes made with seasonal game, seafood and vegetables. Plus, sometimes we’ll just add whatever we want.

Service was excellent. Shared Shrimps with Pernod sauce, they were very good. I had the cassoulet which I truly enjoyed and my husband had the steak et frites, which was excellent.

★★★★★ Another fantastic night at JOEY Rideau! The food was amazing, and Serena made the evening. She’s warm, personable, and has a way of making everyone at the table feel welcome. If you’ve never been to a JOEY, I highly recommend stopping in for a bite. And if you want to make it a memorable night out, ask for Serena!

Had an amazing birthday dinner! Travelled from out of town for the weekend and had to try the tableside cheese wheel pasta. It was even better than I had imagined! Ended the meal with the pecorino cheesecake which was absolutely delicious! Very nice atmosphere and excellent service…I only wish I lived closer, as I would be going there all the time! Highly recommend!
