  "Joseph’s appetizers and entrée choices reflect a multi-culture cuisine, with an emphasis on Mediterranean dishes prepared with a sophisticated touch. The restaurant also serves daily specials that vary with the seasons to allow Executive Chef Joseph DeGennaro and his staff to incorporate fresh, locally grown fruit and veggies into the daily offerings. DeGennaro created Joseph’s menu based on his diverse experiences as chef de cuisine at the historic Renault Winery, and 14 years spent as the head chef of leading Caribbean resort restaurants" --AC Weekly
Here is one of the great travel tips of all time. You can visit the beauty and serenity of Tuscany, and you don’t have to get on an airplane. It’s called the Renault Winery Resort located on a somewhat hidden 1400 beautiful acres in Egg Harbor City (only twenty miles from Atlantic City). A 7000-yard championship golf course, aptly named the Vineyards, is part of the package, and the crowning jewel is the gorgeous Tuscany House Hotel that includes a spectacular Mediterranean restaurant called Joseph’s. All of this is part of New Jersey’s original winery, and talk about getting away from it all, it just doesn’t get better than this.
Dining at Joseph’s is about experiencing the superb cuisine of one of the area’s most talented chefs - Chef Joseph Degennero. The good chef is the driving force behind the culinary presentation at Renault, and his influences include Italy, Spain, American, and Caribbean (where his career included 12 years at the Virgin Grand Hotel in St. Johns and Hotel 1812 in St. Thomas).
Joseph’s presents great value with a moderately priced menu and a wine program that includes selections from the Renault collection that presents one of the most affordable wine lists you will ever experience. The ambiance includes a beautiful bar built with wine casks from the Renault Winery, and the luscious desserts are made in the Renault bakery kitchen. | Particulars Price Range:
