Joe Germanotta is the owner of Joanne Trattoria, an Italian restaurant in New York City. He chatted about being a restaurant owner in the digital age, and the latest entertainment and lifestyle events. He is the husband of Cynthia Germanotta, and the father of Grammy award-winning global pop music star Lady Gaga, and Natali Germanotta.
“We opened 15 years ago as an Italian restaurant,” he said. “It features our traditional family dishes. The place is decorated with photographs from over the years and employees. My staff are all like my kids.” “Right after COVID, I started bringing in entertainment. Initially, I would do it either Friday night or Saturday night… then, it grew to Friday and Saturday nights,” he noted.
