First time in the downtown Haverhill location. It was great. A nice, relaxed vibe and the interior is very comfortable. Smelled of garlic, which was great. Excellent service and the food was top-notch.

Joseph’s has been & continues to be our go-to for excellent Italian food ever since they opened their Ward Hill location many years ago. Their downtown location serves the same quality food, service & ambiance as their original restaurant did. We had another great meal tonite - Chicken Saltimbocca & Baked eggplant with chicken (Melanzane al forno). Highly recommend Joseph’s Trattoria!!!!
