Coming Soon to Joe’s Pasta House

When you own a business,  you are always making changes whether it is basic upkeep, replacement of products, updating, redecorating, rearranging or just plain bringing in something new.  This is one of those times when we are bringing in something new; it is coming soon & we want to share it with you as we go through the process!

COMING SOON1

You may notice some changes taking place when you come to dine with us – an addition of a retail area!  We will be introducing Fine Domestic/Imported Foods & Confections.  The selection; that will be available for you to purchase & enjoy at home, will include an eclectic array of pastas, oils, olives, tasty treats & more.  There will be a diverse assortment of brands from which to choose.  We decided to offer this because we know how difficult it can be to find fine Italian products & ingredients here that are more readily available in larger cities, closer to the coastal regions of the United States.  Many of our regulars ask us how they can purchase higher quality goods that just don’t seem to be available here in the grocery stores. So; we are going to bring some of those favorites to you, as well as some really nice products we have come across & use at home ourselves.   Please join us in our excitement as we remodel & bring in something new; for you!

    • You may have not seen or noticed a mix of workers in the front of the house but we do have a mix of ethnicities that have worked or who are currently working with us. When we interview for positions we base our decisions on qualifications, length of employment at previous jobs, experience & professional self presentation. You are absolutely right, we are all family & all are welcome into our home when they come to our restaurant. As far as guests, our only request is that they dress appropriately – something business casual is good; as far as employees… we accept resumes from all applicants when we are hiring & we schedule interviews with applicants that qualify for the position. When I say qualified, as an example, for our server position – a server applicant must have fine dining experience to be considered for the position – as we always post when hiring for servers. When I was growing up in inner city Toledo, Ohio in the late 60’s & the 70’s were turbulent times as well & I was the minority in my neighborhood (this is KC – Joe’s wife). My mother raised me to embrace diversity; in fact, we fought for equal rights & my family is very ethnically diverse. I would never think of discriminating against anyone for ethnic differences or otherwise. Quite the opposite, I have been known to ask guest to leave our establishment for rudely expressing their vulgar discriminating beliefs. By the way, did you know my husband Joe attended college in Harlem his first year (before moving to NM)? It would be wonderful to see people of all ethnicities do some intensive research before blasting untruths that hurt other people & businesses (our economy really can’t afford anymore jobs lost). It would be great if customers, of any business, talked with business owners about any issues they may have with that business before slandering them publicly & possibly causing undue loss of business, as well as loss of more jobs. All our customers know Joe & I are available to talk, in fact that is why we believe in being hands on in our business, so we can resolve any possible issues on the spot.
