WISEGUYS Italian American Comfort Foods

One of my favorite places to eat in Joplin! The food is so good and the service is amazing! Classic Italian food at a good price. Will always recommend!

Great food and friendly staff! Definatly my new favorite place to eat!

I was apprehensive about trying Wise Guys - the price doesn't match the advertised quantity... So I assumed it would be not so great. I was wrong, the food was great, sizable portions with good flavor, fresh ingredients and well made food. If you haven't tried them, give it a shot, I am sure you won't be disappointed.

Great food, good proportions for the money. Awesome staff. They don't seat a large crowd.

I cannot give Wise Guy's enough praise for their magnificent food. I dare anyone to find better Italian food anywhere near here at any price point, high or low, let alone for less than a fast food "value" meal. I grabbed a meatball to try because my parents raved about them and rightly so. It was a large meatball and with a salad, which I haven't tried yet, could be a light lunch on its own but I also had the lasagna and garlic bread. How does one describe perfection? I'm the queen of heartburn so I had prepared for the sauce but it was drinkable it's so delicious and not even a moment's issue.The pasta was layered perfectly with meat and cheese so it held up and didn't slip everywhere. Finally it's topped with the perfect amount of cheese, especially if you like cheese, and just enough sauce to make you crave a second helping even if you couldn't possibly have room for more.

I've read comments that it lacks ambiance but I think it's perfect and some of the best restaurants have a walk up window and the sidewalk for decoration. Never judge great food on its location or decorations. If you are, you're missing out. They're a must try in my book.

I would love to have remembered to photograph my food but one taste and I wasn't about to stop until the plate was clean.
