WiseGuys Italian

We had eaten at the previous location and thought the food was good. We went to the new location this evening. The new place is great. Has a really nice atmosphere, perfect for date nights. The food is amazing. A very good Italian restaurant. The service was great as well. We will definitely be returning.

Fabulous authentic Italian serves in a hole in the wall mom-&-pop style restaurant. Quick service and phenomenal flavors!!

I'd like to preface my review by saying I did not have the opportunity to eat any of the food.A few days before Christmas, my family went in to try WiseGuys for the first time - my parents, myself, my wife, and my two sons.We all walked in and were immediately greeted with an overpowering unpleasant smell. I'd like to believe it's one of the hard Italian cheeses - Asiago, Parmesan, Romano - but I'm unsure.We all walked up to the counter and waited to be helped. After a couple of minutes, one of the two guys in the kitchen made eye contact with us, let out an enormous sigh, and rolled his eyes at the fact we were at the counter waiting to order. I looked over at my father to double check and make sure I had seen what I thought I did. He also saw it. We waited another minute, and no attempt was made to come take our order or even do something as little as greeting us or acknowledging that we were in line. We began discussing if we should leave, and we tried to catch the eye of the guys in the kitchen again, and when we did, he disgustedly rolled his eyes again, do we left.I hate to be a man Karen here, but we don't plan on returning, which is disappointing, because we'd like to support local businesses, but I don't have any great desire to support people who don't want or deserve it.

WiseGuys is a small, quaint restaurant with an extremely vast menu. I'm grateful for it as a vegetarian because I have plenty of options unlike most restaurants in Joplin. My friend and I walked in on a cold Wednesday evening hoping for some comfort food. The restaurant was empty but the staff was very lively. They were so sweet and gave us recommendations as it was our first time here. We asked for the cajun pasta to be made vegetarian which the chef gladly accepted. There were plenty of veggies and the portion size was very big considering the pasta was roughly $10. The pasta was well cooked and the sauce was a little surprisingly taste wise. It was creamy and had a kick to it. Additionally, we ordered a cannoli and a tiramisu. The cannoli was $3.25 and it was mediocre. The tiramisu was yummy but it was $6.25! I wouldn't say it was worth that much but if you are craving some tiramisu, it definitely hits the spot compared to a Walmart version. For Joplin, I would recommend this place as it is a decent restaurant with good quality and portion size. It's a quick Italian craving fix but I wouldn't consider it as authentic or the best Italian I've been to.

Not that great, I was disappointed in the food and the service. It was like cheap store bought food. Sorry I wanted to like it

Food, Service, and Ambience were all amazing! This is definitely a place you should go for a date, party, or just because you are craving italian food. Location is now on 6th in main street, joplin.

First time going to this restaurant, which recently moved to a location downtown. Wiseguys wasn't busy (it was before 6pm), but we did have to wait several minutes to get seated. The service was good but a little bit too casual and nonchalant. The food was good, but had some issues, which I really hope they can get fixed because we like the place. First , the Greek salad was delicious. When our entrées came out, my wife's was chicken piccata with pappardelle pasta was cold. The dish would have been much better served warm/hot. My muffuletta panini sandwich was good. Would've been great if they had put the olive tapenade on the entire sandwich and not just in a few places. The side of potato chips was disappointing- they need to develop some better side dish options.

Food was very good. Joplin has been missing a quality, affordable Italian restaurant. (We don't consider Olive Garden or other chain restaurants. Too formulaic. Every dish tastes the same.)Service is very good. Nicely decorated. Cannot wait to go back and try a different dish!

Absolutely terrible. Pictures on the website are very deceiving. Extremely unclean, dead bugs on the floor, live bugs flying all over, bathroom is worse than a gas station, and poor customer service. Waited for 30 min for pasta! Cashier clearly hates his job. I wouldn't waste your time and money!

This restaurant was unclean and needed attention. The food took a long time to prepare and was mediocre at best. Was almost as expensive as the chain Italian place down the road.
