Description:

For such a tiny place, Joe Sepie's has a menu that covers more ground than do most neighborhood places. The joke in the name (say "Giuseppe") clues us into the Italian aspect of the kitchen. From it comes the standards of pasta and red (or white) sauce. Poor boy sandwiches are a big deal here, too. These achieve distinction by offering new variations on the standard ingredients (the roast bef poor boy, for example, can be had with a special sauce with mushrooms and an almost barbecue-like tang). They fry seafood platters to order and grill burgers of such juiciness that the name "splatburger" is entirely appropriate. They even make their own hot tamales--among the best around.
