Chef Joe is fantastic. I grew up eating Viviano's pizza with my family. I have great memories of my mom and I having fun going to pick it up and eating some on the way home. After 45 years I needed some Viviano's. I contacted Chef Joe and he really went above and beyond to help me. He put a lot of time and effort into helping me get four quarts of Viviano's sauce sent to me in Kansas City, MO. We are now enjoying the fantastic Viviano's sauce on pasta, pizza and everything else we can think of. He put a lot of time and effort into packaging and shipping. It's been a fabulous trip down memory lane. Thank you so much to Chef Joe. A very wonderful person! I'm so happy he's carrying on the Viviano's legacy!

I had the opportunity to work for Joe's father, John,at the world famous Viviano Italian restaurant and I say "world famous" because I was in charge of getting orders ready to ship out from the restaurant. And I would like to take this time to HIGHLY recommended that ya'll try something from Joe's menu as I have recently and have found that everything that I have eaten taste exactly like his father's recipes. If you want true Italian food and not some factory made sauces, this is the man you need to talk to. And the red sauce with linguini is to die for!! You have my business as long as you continue to ship to Fort Worth. Thanks for carrying on your family tradition.

"Joe's catering is professional in every way. He brought the taste of Italy to the wedding I attended, and his staff was friendly and professional. Not only was the food delicious, but Joe's customer service and hospitality were above reproach. I would reccomend his service for any venue, 5 star."
