Joe's House Made Ravioli
Ravioli made in the house, filled with beef and spinach, in the classic meat sauce with parmesan. We'd take them alongside the scramble.

Our dish — the plate we'd order here firstJoe's Special
A scramble of ground beef, spinach, onions and eggs, the house's signature. We'd order the dish that carries the restaurant's name.
From Original Joe's's own menu and pages, as we read them in October 2026.
Original Joe's
Italian-American · since 1937 · North Beach (Union St), San Francisco
601 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94133
Tony Rodin, a Croatian immigrant, opened it as a fourteen-stool counter on a sawdust floor, and after a fire the founder's grandchildren John and Elena rebuilt it in North Beach. The kitchen still cooks in full view, as the old counter did.
