Joe Leone’s is the result of one man’s passion for food and a vision of culinary excellence. Owner/Chef Joseph Leone grew up watching his grandmother prepare traditional Italian meals for the family. At 10 years old, Joe began baking Italian bread in bakeries in North Jersey. As he perfected his skills at Italian home cooking and making “Hoboken-style” bread, Joe knew that his future was in the Italian food business. In 1995, he saw his training pay off—that year, Chef Leone graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. In 1997, he opened Joe Leone’s in Point Pleasant Beach. What has happened since then is nothing short of a childhood dream come true for Chef Leone.
