Joseph's Mediterranean Cuisine is run by father and son team, Pasquale and Anthony Coffa. That's two generations, where's the third? In the name of the restaurant of course! This upscale, casual fine-dining establishment is named after Anthony's 20-month-old son, Joseph. Anthony has been in the restaurant industry for approximately 20 years, (the last five years running a catering company out of Hampton's in the Quality Suites Hotel) while his father brings over 50 years of experience to the business. They felt the location (2322 Dundas St. W., formerly Happy Valley Chinese Restaurant) was perfect for a new restaurant, as North Oakville is experiencing a lot of growth right now. Also, Joseph's offers free parking, and plenty of it. Their lot is over an acre and a half large. This family owned and operated Mediterranean restaurant offers an exotic dining experience, from northern Italy, southern France, and a hint of Spain. Upon entering you find yourself swept up in their warm decor with lots of little personal touches that may remind you of home. With leafy vines outlining archways, ceramic decorative pieces adorn ing the walls, and soothing music you can hear in the background, din ner at Joseph's may just be the cheapest vacation you've had in a while. Joseph's is open Monday to Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and Sundays 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., located at 2322 Dundas St.W.
