Josie's

About Josie's

With the opening of Josie's on the Upper West Side in 1994, chef and restaurateur, Louis Lanza, introduced New York to a new culinary genre lightheartedly dubbed "conscious cuisine." Showcasing innovative, healthier ingredients and a rich, flowing environment, Josie's strives to create a unique dining experience that tantalizes the palates of health-conscious and mainstream diners alike.

At Josie's, the meats, poultry and eggs are certified free-range, their grains, beans, flour and seasonal produce are certified organic and our appetizers, entrees and pastas are prepared dairy-free. Even the water used for drinking, cooking and ice-making is multi-filtered to remove impurities. Beyond the healthier essentials, they are guided by a passion to create richly-flavored cuisine that delights diners of all backgrounds and tastes. Indeed, our greatest compliment comes from the many diners who tell us they can't believe healthy could taste this good.
